Y'all prolly have seen this, but I never imagined a singer could have such insight into Vintage Rolexes, and time pieces in general.
i think his statements and his views give a new meaning to the word" Collecting'. His Vintage Rolex Subs are amazing, specially the Cosmograph.
It just speaks of class, and intellectual.

i don't think we all collect because for the sake of collecting, but i believe people here "connect" to the watches, their heritage, the legacy, FAR more than ordinary folks..:)
How your watch tells so much about you, your personality, and how you "ADAPT" to the watch's personality.

Granted, my Rolex will never make me play like Federer, but..:)

My wife asked me: Why did I have so many? Why do I need many?
I guess they will never know, and to explain it would be futile.

Yup this is one of my favourite watch related videos. Cool guy with some awesome watches. Also really like that he realises the watch doesn't have to be vintage and rare to belong in his collection, for example his BLNR and the IWC Big Pilot especially seems to be one of his favourite watches.

He's on of the more public watch enthusiasts. Charlie Sheen and Roger Federer are too.

I'm sure Trf has a couple of high-profile celebrities lurking behind these mostly anonymous user names. None of that makes any nevermind to me. Here it's all about our common hobby
