If you've been buying watches online or collecting watches from stores, you're probably making this one big mistake. This could cost you hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of dollars if you do it wrong. I'm going to show you exactly what that one mistake is so that you can make smarter purchases and get the maximum value for your collection. You ready for this one big thing? Don't buy watches. Watches are so stupid. I do not care if you have a Royal Oak or an AP or Richard Mille or whatever. First off, I'm gonna tell you the reasons I don't like it. Number 1, There can be fake ones. So if you go to a networking event, there's 10 people could just be wearing fake watches. You don't know if they're real or not real. They look all exactly the same. Number 2, I think it's kind of vain to show up with a $300,000 watch. I just, I don't know. I don't like the concept of it. They can get stolen. And 3rd, yes, I know you wear your money. They appreciate over time if you buy the right one, et cetera. Just buy something that has utility. There is no utility in a watch. So that's my take on watches. One big mistake y'all are making is freaking buying watches in the first place.
