What's up guys?

你們好嗎？

So the three of us are finally together talking about watches.

於是，我們三個終於在一起談論起手錶來。

You know, we're going to talk about why people get into watches, why watches might be a good idea for an investment.

要知道，我們要討論的是人們為什麼會喜歡手錶，為什麼手錶可能是一個投資的好主意。

In particular, Rolex. We'll just kind of wing it and talk about it.

尤其是勞力士。我們就隨便聊聊吧。

Okay, so he just showed up in my house today and wanted to do this.

好吧，他今天剛來我家，就想這麼做。

I'm unprepared. I am into watches, but I'm not like a fanatic like these guys.

我毫無準備。我是喜歡手錶，但不像他們那樣狂熱。

In fact, I had forgotten even the serial number to this watch, but...

事實上，我甚至忘記了這隻手錶的序列號，但...

Reference number.

參考編號

Reference number. See? See? See? I'm not a huge watch guy. I'm not. I'm not.

參考編號。看到了嗎？看到了嗎？看到沒？我不是一個巨大的手錶的傢伙。I'm not.我不是。

I'm much more into cars and surfing, but...

我更喜歡汽車和衝浪，但...

True.

沒錯。

Yeah, but I like watches.

是的，但我喜歡手錶。

I do like watches, but for me, I was just telling Chris...

我喜歡手錶，但對我來說，我只是告訴克里斯...

More as a decor.

更像是一種裝飾。

It's more decorative for me. You know, I wear it as more for fashion, you know.

對我來說，它更像是裝飾品。你知道，我穿它更多是為了時尚。

I do like nice things, but you know, they aren't the measure of me.

我確實喜歡好東西，但你知道，它們不是衡量我的標準。

Even if these things disappeared, I would still be me.

即使這些東西消失了，我還是我。

That's something that I've said on Instagram, right?

這是我在 Instagram 上說過的話，對吧？

But back to what Sonny was saying.

但回到桑尼剛才說的話

Yes, I think when people get into society, I think instead of, you know, throwing your money away at cars or like, you know, clothes or going out.

是的，我認為當人們步入社會後，就不會再把錢花在買車、買衣服或外出遊玩上了。

I think buying a watch is a pretty good investment, especially with inflation at what it is now.

我認為購買手錶是一項相當不錯的投資，尤其是在目前通貨膨脹的情況下。

You know, this is a 16818, right?

你知道，這是 16818，對吧？

Is that what?

是什麼？

Uh, 16618.

呃，16618。

I don't know.

我不知道。

Is it 16618?

是 16618 嗎？

Anyways, somebody tell me, okay?

總之，誰來告訴我，好嗎？

This is... All right.

這是...好的

This watch I bought maybe two and a half years ago.

這塊表大概是我兩年半前買的。

Right when the pandemic was starting.

就在大流行開始的時候

I think I bought it for real sweat.

我想我買它是為了流汗。

20,000 USD.

20,000 美元。

And it's worth...

值得...

That's fucking cheap, though.

不過，這也太他媽便宜了。

It's worth what?

它值多少錢？

Well, I would say it's a little over 1 million now.

嗯，我想說的是，現在已經超過 100 萬了。

NTD.

NTD.

So basically, I close to doubled my money.

基本上，我的錢幾乎翻了一番。

You know what I'm saying?

你知道我在說什麼嗎？

But you did get an amazing deal.

但你確實得到了一筆驚人的交易。

I did get an amazing deal.

我確實得到了一筆驚人的交易。

I bought it off my brother.

我從我哥哥那裡買的。

Shout out to Jerry Yeh, you know?

向傑瑞-葉致敬，你知道嗎？

You should have sold it to me, Jerry.

你應該把它賣給我的，傑瑞。

Come on, big bro.

來吧，大哥

Other watches I've made money on.

其他我賺到錢的手錶

Like I told you, man, it beats inflation for sure.

就像我跟你說的，夥計，它肯定能戰勝通貨膨脹。

It's better than putting the money in your bank or spending it on clothes and cars and going out and whatever, right?

這總比把錢存進銀行，或者花在買衣服、買車、外出遊玩什麼的強吧？

That's my take on it.

這就是我的看法。

What do you think, man?

你覺得呢？

What do you think, Chris?

你怎麼看，克里斯？

Well, of course, I think Rolex is one of the best investments you can do in the watch market.

當然，我認為勞力士是鐘錶市場上最好的投資之一。

Like besides, of course, you have the flashy and more fancy pieces like AP and Patek out there.

當然，除了 AP 和百達翡麗等華而不實的產品外，還有其他產品。

But I think solid piece, most reliable piece is a Rolex.

但我認為最可靠的還是勞力士。

So I also wear this one almost every day.

是以，我也幾乎每天都穿這件衣服。

I got other watches as well.

我還買了其他手錶。

But this is I think a 114060.

但這應該是 114060。

So there's a Submariner No-Date, the very original Submariner.

這就是潛航者無日期腕錶（Submariner No-Date），也是潛航者腕錶的原型。

And I just think it's a perfect daily beaver.

我只是覺得它是一個完美的日常海狸。

It's for me, watches is more like a personality thing.

對我來說，手錶更像是一種個性。

It's like what car you drive, what watch you wear.

就像你開什麼車、戴什麼表一樣。

That says a lot about you, actually.

這其實說明了你的很多問題。

That's my take on it.

這就是我的看法。

Now, I think the question was, you know, why people buy Rolex?

現在，我想問題是，你知道，人們為什麼買勞力士？

I had a certain budget and it was 2016.

我有一定的預算，當時是 2016 年。

And I was like, I have to get something special for myself and something for my personality, something that suits me.

我想，我必須為自己買一些特別的東西，一些適合我個性的東西，一些適合我的東西。

I got two at once.

我一次買了兩個。

So I got the Deepsea that time and I got the Daytona.

所以，那次我買了深海號，又買了代託納號。

And you got it at the AD?

你是在廣告部拿到的？

Yeah, I got it at the AD.

是的，我在廣告部買的。

I got it in Singapore at Hourglass.

我是在新加坡的 Hourglass 買的。

And that was, I was so proud of it.

我為此感到非常自豪。

That was when you could still get them.

那時候還能買到。

Yeah, exactly.

是啊，沒錯。

Yeah, I just wanted to get them anymore.

是啊，我只是想讓他們不再這樣了。

2016.

2016.

And I just wanted to say, I actually walked into Patek and they offered me that time a Nautilus with discount and an Aquanaut.

我只想說，其實我走進百達翡麗的時候，他們給了我一個鸚鵡螺（Nautilus）的折扣和一個 Aquanaut 的折扣。

And I was like, no, man, I'm going to get my Rolex.

我當時想，不，夥計，我要去拿我的勞力士。

I'm waiting for my Daytona.

我在等我的 Daytona。

And I thought that's a special thing because like, you know,

我覺得這是一件很特別的事，因為，你知道的、

Rolex is like one of the most gifted presents you get when you turn 18 or when you like, when you achieve something.

勞力士就像是你在 18 歲或取得成就時收到的最有天賦的禮物之一。

The coming of age present.

成年禮

Definitely a statement as well.

絕對也是一種聲明。

They set a symbol.

他們設置了一個符號。

And for me, exactly.

對我來說，正是如此。

I think also the background, the history of Rolex.

我認為勞力士的背景和歷史也是如此。

I like it very much.

我非常喜歡。

Found it from Hans Wilsdorf, a German guy.

這是從德國人漢斯-維爾斯多夫（Hans Wilsdorf）那裡找到的。

Okay.

好的

You would know that.

你會知道的。

Of course.

當然。

So for me, it's a little bit different.

所以對我來說，這有點不同。

My dad told me a gold Rolex is 出来荤的基本款

我爸爸告訴我勞力士金錶是出葷的基本款

You know, it's a status symbol, but it's also, I feel like it's got, it's got a little bit of a streetness to it.

你知道，它是一種身份的象徵，但同時，我覺得它也有一點街頭氣息。

You know what I'm saying?

你知道我在說什麼嗎？

Streetness.

街頭感。

Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

你知道我在說什麼嗎？你知道我在說什麼嗎？

For sure.

當然。

It's gangster.

這是黑幫。

It's gangster.

這是黑幫。

It's gangster.

這是黑幫。

Yeah.

是啊

It's the one you see in every movie on some gangster.

這是你在每部電影中都能看到的關於某個黑幫老大的鏡頭。

This is actually the second EWC thing I've ever done.

這實際上是我做的第二件 EWC 事情。

The first one that I've done, I talked about this, right?

我做的第一件事，我說過這個，對嗎？

So I think it is...

是以，我認為這是...

I agree with him because I travel a lot.

我同意他的觀點，因為我經常旅行。

And every time I travel, I always take like one, two, three watches with me.

每次旅行，我都會帶上一塊、兩塊、三塊手錶。

No matter if I go to Dubai or London or even Philippines,

不管我是去迪拜還是倫敦，甚至是菲律賓、

I wear it just on my wrist.

我只戴在手腕上。

Because if you get robbed, like if your passport, everything is gone.

因為如果你被搶了，就像你的護照一樣，一切都沒了。

You have, you don't even have cash.

你有，你甚至沒有現金。

If you have a Rolex, you just go to the next...

如果你有一塊勞力士，你只需去下一個...

And you get cash with it.

你還能得到現金。

True.

沒錯。

But now people are stealing watches.

但現在人們開始偷手錶了。

Exactly. You have to be careful.

沒錯。你必須小心謹慎。

Now you got to be careful.

現在你得小心了。

You know, so people are stealing watches, especially while traveling.

你知道，人們偷手錶，尤其是在旅行途中。

So, but what you're saying, going back to, you know, it's a street cred thing, but also it has a store of value, right?

所以，你的意思是，回到街頭信譽的問題，但它也有價值，對嗎？

So it is a currency now.

是以，它現在是一種貨幣。

So why do people get Rolex?

那麼，人們為什麼要買勞力士呢？

I feel like, do you remember back in the day, even before the whole hype, we would always say you get 80 cents or 85 cents back to the dollar, right?

我覺得，你還記得在過去，甚至在整個炒作之前，我們總是說你可以得到 80 美分或 85 美分的美元回報，對嗎？

Now you get above that problem.

現在你可以解決這個問題了。

You get at least your dollar back, right?

你至少能拿回一美元，對吧？

At least your dollar back.

至少還你一美元。

But if you can get it at the AD, well, you're making money.

但如果你能在 AD 處買到，那你就賺到錢了。

If you get the secondhand market, I guess it depends, right?

如果你進入二手市場，我想這取決於情況，對嗎？

It depends on the watches.

這取決於手錶。

But gold watches, as you were saying, it's kind of like, it's gold now.

但金錶，就像你剛才說的，現在有點像黃金。

Gold has a standard currency, right?

黃金是標準貨幣，對嗎？

We look at it, it has its own index.

我們看一下，它有自己的索引。

So it is a currency.

是以，它是一種貨幣。

Watches to me have almost become a currency.

手錶對我來說幾乎成了一種貨幣。

And I guess that's what you guys are saying too.

我猜你們也是這麼說的。

The way I look at watches sometimes, is it an investment?

我有時看手錶的方式是，它是一種投資嗎？

For me, to be honest, yes, I think it is an investment.

老實說，對我來說，是的，我認為這是一種投資。

And I think Rolex is a very safe investment.

我認為勞力士是一項非常安全的投資。

Now we have crazy inflation.

現在，我們有了瘋狂的通貨膨脹。

But if you look at it from the flip side, as a brand,

但如果反過來看，作為一個品牌、

Rolex actually increases its MSRP every year by a couple percent, right?

勞力士實際上每年都會將其建議零售價提高几個百分點，對嗎？

Yeah, I think up to 5%.

是的，我想最多 5%。

Yeah, same thing with Porsche.

是啊，保時捷也是一樣。

So that's why I always correlate these two, Porsche and Rolex.

是以，我總是把保時捷和勞力士這兩者聯繫起來。

They're always raising the MSRP, trying to beat the inflation.

他們一直在提高市場建議零售價，試圖戰勝通貨膨脹。

So when you're buying something, you feel like it's worth the value.

是以，當你買東西時，你會覺得物有所值。

And the value will keep going up.

而且，價值還會不斷上升。

So I think for, you know, all of our younger viewers out there, this vlog, I just kind of wanted to just let everyone know, there's lots of perspectives.

所以我想，對於所有年輕的觀眾來說，這個視頻博客，我只是想讓大家知道，有很多不同的視角。

Lots of different ways to look at watches.

看待手錶的方式多種多樣。

It's like a fucking luxury item, right?

這就像一個他媽的奢侈品，對不對？

But they have to understand that with inflation and what it is now, it is a solid investment.

但他們必須明白，在通貨膨脹和目前的情況下，這是一項穩健的投資。

It's better than putting the money in your bank.

這比把錢存入銀行更好。

You're losing money, like, in the bank.

你在賠錢，就像在銀行裡賠錢一樣。

You know what I'm saying?

你知道我在說什麼嗎？

If inflation is 7%, 8%, 10%, 11%, that means $100 saved in the bank last year is only worth $89, $90 this year.

如果通貨膨脹率為 7%、8%、10%、11%，這意味著去年存入銀行的 100 美元今年只值 89 美元或 90 美元。

You know what I'm saying?

你知道我在說什麼嗎？

You're not getting that much interest.

你沒那麼大興趣

You're not getting any interest, you know?

你沒有任何興趣，你知道嗎？

And I don't even want to get into all of the banking problems that we're seeing throughout the world.

我甚至不想談我們在世界各地看到的所有銀行問題。

This topic, we can actually talk about.

這個話題，我們確實可以談談。

Let's just talk about watches.

我們還是談談手錶吧。

Let's take the watches.

就拿手錶來說吧。

So watches, I mean, it's better than putting it in the bank, okay?

所以，手錶，我的意思是，它比把它放在銀行，好嗎？

So why not, right?

為什麼不呢？

Rolex, I'm looking for a fucking plug.

勞力士，我在找一個該死的插頭。

Yeah, man.

是啊

Rolex, hook us up.

勞力士，幫我們接通。

Hook us up, dawg.

幫我們接通，夥計

Hook us up.

幫我們接通

Take us to Geneva, you know?

帶我們去日內瓦，你知道嗎？

Like, I want to go to Watches and Wonders, all right?

比如，我想去 "鐘錶與奇蹟"，好嗎？

Take us.

就拿我們來說吧。

Yeah.

是啊

And another thing for me is, the reason I buy Rolex is,

對我來說，購買勞力士的另一個原因是、

I feel like there are more expensive Rolexes.

我覺得還有更貴的勞力士。

He buys, like, the rarer shit.

他買的都是比較稀有的東西。

But for me, I feel like,

但對我來說，我覺得

I mean, these guys, he's wearing, like, fucking

我的意思是，這些傢伙，他穿著，像，他媽的

How do you even wear that out?

你是怎麼穿出來的？

So for me, I love watches so much.

所以對我來說，我非常喜歡手錶。

So I always try to, you know, find or seek out something super rare.

所以，我總是試圖找到或尋找一些超級稀有的東西。

You know, it's just like, maybe you with art, you know?

你知道，這就像，也許你與藝術，你知道嗎？

Like, you love art so much because you see the value in it.

比如，你如此熱愛藝術，是因為你看到了它的價值。

Well, it just makes me feel a certain way when I look at it, right?

它只是讓我在看它的時候有某種感覺，對嗎？

Exactly, right?

沒錯吧？

But how do you let go of something?

但如何才能放下一些東西呢？

Because, you know, when you guys are going to buy your first nice luxury watch, are you going to keep that forever?

因為，你們知道，當你們要買第一塊漂亮的奢侈手錶時，你們會一直戴著嗎？

That should be something that you should think about.

這是你應該考慮的問題。

Like, for him, he's a hoarder.

比如，對他來說，他是個囤積狂。

He doesn't sell.

他不賣。

He just buys and buys and buys.

他就這樣買了又買，買了又買。

You, sometimes, you know, you buy to a certain point, and then you sell and you get something else that you like.

你，有時候，你知道，你買到一定程度，就會賣掉，然後再買其他你喜歡的東西。

But your cycle is every three to five years, something like that.

但你的週期是每三到五年，差不多是這樣。

But him...

但他...

I buy the watches not as an investment, as I said.

正如我所說，我買手錶不是為了投資。

If I like a watch and I wear it, I do everything with my watches.

如果我喜歡一款手錶並佩戴它，我就會用我的手錶做任何事情。

I really go diving with my rose gold AP.

我的玫瑰金 AP 真的很適合潛水。

I just see them as a tool watch.

我只是把它們看作工具表。

Yeah, because you actually use it.

是啊，因為你真的會用。

You love it, you make the money.

你愛它，你就能賺錢。

So I think all different perspectives are all good.

是以，我認為所有不同的觀點都是好的。

True story, true story.

真實的故事，真實的故事。

My 40 millimeter Day-Date, I got drunk over one last Christmas, a couple of Christmases ago.

我的 40 毫米 Day-Date 表，去年聖誕節，也就是幾個聖誕節前，我為它喝得酩酊大醉。

I knew I was drunk, and the next morning, the glass broke.

Somewhere, I'll plug it in for you guys.

And the next morning, when I woke up, when I saw the broken glass, and then I sent it to Woody to get fixed.

第二天早上，當我醒來時，我看到了破碎的玻璃，然後我把它送到伍迪那裡去修。

And so my watch is a used car, that's right.

所以我的手錶就是一輛二手車，沒錯。

So I won't sell it, so you won't buy a used car.

所以我不賣，所以你不買二手車。

You don't have to worry.

But the next morning, when I woke up, I realized that the watch I'm wearing is about the same.

Because it's not very heavy.
