mtv2009 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Quite a few months ago someone posted a link to a documentary where some guy would meet celebrities who loved luxury watches and one celeb was desperate to get his hands on a particular rolex. Like a muppet i didn`t save the link...does anyone have it? Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subbiesrock Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 What a great doco, and most importantly, the acknowledgement by the watch dealer upon seeing the fake Nautilus for $300 that the Swiss watch makers really ARE taking the [censored] out of their customers... Great little doco, cheers for the link guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchurch Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Really does explain some stuff. I love collecting them and having something different for each day and occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Fantastic documentary, but the smug, elitist attitudes of the collectors made me want to commit hate crimes. The company heads on the other hand, seemed way more practical and down to earth about the nature of a watch. Shame Felicity Kendal wasn't interviewed more extensively, I'd've found her insights way more interesting than Mr Rehab and his Peruvian...

southcoast68 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 "I can't quite decide weather wearing a fake watch takes courage or not" Interesting statement indeed, when you think of it, it does take a certain amount of courage for a lot of us to wear our reps, no matter how close to the gen they are. Fantastic program, thanks for sharing!!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerica2 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I believe that what these people are missing about rep people is the fact that most of us are avid watch lovers at least as them, and even own some gens. For me, the rep world is another very interesting aspect of the watch hobby. I would even say the most interesting aspect, since gens are the destination, but reps are the journey...

RickHiC Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I just watched this and thoroughly enjoyed it, but at times it seemed like an advertisement for Rolex. Seriously, these exotic collectors have unlimited wealth, and all they are looking for is more variants of daytonas? How about something with rare complications from the big three? Or better yet commissioning a unique original from an independent watchmaker? Or sheesh, if I was the guy living in the castle, I would be hunting for a Breuget worn by Napoleon or something. And then the dealer guy says something like "Richard Mille is the only maker who inspires me." Dude, get a Basel catalog. Still lots of fun and worth the watch just to see those crazy rare models.

FxrAndy Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I enjoyed it , but it was alot about how much you can spend on a production watch, i would love to watch a documentry on Roger Smith and George Daniels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
