1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,360
Welcome to this watch live. 
Hi, I'm Lydia Winters. 

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,280
Today we're talking about some 
of the biggest watch mistakes. 

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,600
In the world. 
Made, we've made, yeah. 

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,520
I think in the world there's 
probably very different ones 

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,720
that like I don't have the 
economic status to have made. 

6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,160
Oh no, I bought a one-of-a-kind 
and something, something. 

7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,240
I don't know. 
What would be the mistake there?

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,000
You accidentally, like, wore it 
in the water, but you didn't get

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,440
it checked and it was like the 
the one, like a true 

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,320
one-of-a-kind piece, unique. 
Well, I I think. 

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,920
I don't think I can make that 
mistake. 

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,080
Would would count going in the 
water as their biggest watch 

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,240
mistake. 
Oh, interesting. 

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,760
You know, if you think about the
history of people wearing 

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,480
watches, probably many, many, 
many, many have been destroyed 

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,600
by water. 
Yeah, my parents told me 

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,560
recently that when we were on a 
family trip in Orlando, we went 

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,320
to this cool Marriott resort and
we were so excited. 

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,920
And then I guess my dad's 
president just started. 

20
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:20,600
Like day, date. 
Rolex Day Date President just 

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,800
started leaking water. 
I need to ask more about this 

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,920
story because I'm like, did you 
just be like, bye family? 

23
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:28,760
I guess that's what I would do. 
But that's why we don't have 

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,160
kids. 
Because I would be like, see. 

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,920
Yeah, everybody. 
I got to take care of my watch. 

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,000
My watch is my baby. 
Still in the pool. 

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,400
Yes, and it's like filling with 
water. 

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,000
That's what my mom said. 
It's filling with water. 

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Filling with water. 
So maybe back then they didn't 

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,640
have the twin lock crown. 
Yeah, I don't know. 

31
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:49,640
And and he had left. 
Maybe it unscrewed? 

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,560
Yeah, we will. 
We will. 

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040
I will get more. 
I'm going to do some 

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160
investigative journalism on this
topic. 

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,440
You would. 
Get your dad on the pod, yeah. 

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,880
That would be great. 
And he could tell us about that 

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,720
moment. 
He's like goodbye wife and 

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,760
children. 
So today we are going to answer 

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,600
a question by Chrono Camera who 
asks biggest watch mistakes? 

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,760
Shrug emoji. 
Perfect. 

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,040
We will talk about exactly that.
Perfect question. 

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,880
So OK, I came up with three that
that that I think are hour. 

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Okay. 
Well, you know, when I started 

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,600
to think about it, I was, I was 
thinking more through my. 

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,680
Lens, but then I've done. 
All the same, yeah. 

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,880
I kind of feel like you've done 
the same thing. 

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,960
So the first one, and I think 
this just is a thing that every 

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,920
watch collector does at some 
point flying without seeing. 

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,720
Yes, yes, right. 
The age-old tale, Yeah. 

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,680
Just seeing on Instagram does 
not count as seeing. 

51
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,080
It it really doesn't. 
I mean, we've talked about this 

52
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,840
before. 
I think especially with the 

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,320
talent of so many of the 
photographers on Instagram like 

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,080
you, it's so easy to fall in 
love with the look of a watching

55
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,000
photos and and and what I've 
said in the past is like, that's

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,280
not the same as falling in love 
with the look of a watch on your

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,840
wrist. 
No, but that's why we have this 

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,280
great phrase in the middle, 
seeing, seeing the watch in the 

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,000
metal, in the metal if. 
It what? 

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,200
What if it's a wooden watch? 
Well then, seeing the watch. 

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,360
No, I yeah, we're good. 
Skip that one. 

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,200
The the other part there was 
Part 2 to This mistake is like 

63
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,600
buying without seeing, but also 
not really knowing what you 

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,920
want. 
And there's a reason that those 

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,520
2GO together, because I think 
especially in the beginning of 

66
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,680
your collecting, it's really 
important to try things on 

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:50,280
because it takes time before you
could predict a watch without 

68
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,840
trying it on. 
So I think as time goes on, as 

69
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,160
you've tried on more watches. 
So I'll give an example. 

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,080
We bought the two out of the 
Omega 1957 edition trilogy, 

71
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,320
right? 
I bought the Omega C Master Rail

72
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,880
Master. 
Yes, it is called a Seamaster 

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Rail Master. 
Names and I bought the 

74
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Seamaster. 
Seamaster The Seamaster 300. 

75
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:21,480
And so we saw these online. 
We looked all over Instagram, so

76
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,760
all the amazing photos and then 
we ordered them and they came in

77
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,280
and they looked as beautiful as 
we thought they would. 

78
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,120
But the wearing experience left 
much to be desired, especially 

79
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,160
the bracelets because they had 
no taper and they had huge clasp

80
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,240
and all of this stuff super 
uncomfortable. 

81
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,880
So we both tried to figure out 
what to do with these watches, 

82
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,960
if we knew more about bracelets 
and what we like and. 

83
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Kind of liked about the 
bracelets, looked at the photos 

84
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,640
and been like, oh, that doesn't 
seem like it's for me. 

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,120
Exactly. 
And now when I look at a watch 

86
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,080
online like bracelet comfort is 
something I can at least 

87
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,480
partially assess because I've 
tried on many more bracelet 

88
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,400
watches since we bought these. 
When we bought these, I had not 

89
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,040
owned that many bracelet watches
at that time. 

90
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,080
My Rolex Explorer 2 which has a 
super comfortable bracelet. 

91
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,880
You had your date jest, which 
has a super comfortable 

92
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,040
bracelet, and then I've owned a 
couple other bracelet watches, 

93
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,320
but not enough to really know 
that there's great bracelets and

94
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400
then there's less than great 
bracelets. 

95
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:35,200
But that kind of leads into 
another point, which is just not

96
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,240
being patient. 
Because maybe that's the real. 

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,840
Yeah, like we could have waited 
to see it in person because 

98
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,760
again, it's not a watch that you
could never see. 

99
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,680
And most of the time when I'm 
buying something, it is 

100
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,040
something that I could see. 
It just might take a little more

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,640
time. 
So this is like, yeah, like this

102
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,640
is what I've decided on the 
Lorca GMT, which I'm super 

103
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,760
excited about is I'm like I 
don't want to make the same 

104
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,840
mistake again of just buying 
something and not trying it on 

105
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:05,680
1st. 
So I'm going to, you know, see 

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,240
where they might be like are 
they going to a Warren and Wound

107
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,200
show, You know like is there 
some time that I could try it 

108
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,080
on. 
So then I feel confident because

109
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,600
I think the other part is when 
you are a little nervous about 

110
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,880
something that, like those 
nerves can carry over, even if 

111
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,120
it is perfect, even if it's 
great, you're like, well, maybe 

112
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,440
I shouldn't have bought it or I 
bought it too fast or I didn't 

113
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680
think about it enough. 
And that's definitely where I 

114
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,000
was with the Seamaster because 
we just kind of like you were 

115
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,520
looking at them and I was like, 
what if I buy one too by now, 

116
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,080
You know, like it was right at 
the sort of it was right before 

117
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,440
I started my my Instagram. 
Yeah. 

118
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,880
And it was kind of in that like 
buy first, think later, yeah. 

119
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,120
I I think so. 
There there is a maybe not a 

120
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,520
caveat, but there's a way around
this mistake, and that is to 

121
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,800
have the discipline. 
Because. 

122
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,440
Most places you buy online, it 
depends. 

123
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,480
But many, I'll I'll say many 
places you buy online have 

124
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,360
return policy. 
Yeah, that's true, you can 

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,480
return things. 
Perhaps you'll lose out a little

126
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,520
on the shipping, but I would say
that as the cost like it's 

127
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,960
probably cheaper than going 
traveling to somewhere where you

128
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,080
could see a similar lot. 
So like, but you have to have 

129
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,120
the discipline that when this 
new watch arrives at your house 

130
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,600
and you open it up and you're so
excited to have a new watch that

131
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,240
you need to actually commit to 
assessing whether or not this. 

132
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,240
Watch is for you, that is not 
me. 

133
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,160
And then once, if once that 
package has arrived, that watch 

134
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,920
if it is. 
Not what you're hoping, wishing,

135
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,400
wanting it to be. 
Then you have to have the 

136
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,840
fortitude to return it. 
I'm. 

137
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,920
Not sure whether I could do that
or just wait Both things, are 

138
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
they long well. 
We didn't return these. 

139
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,480
No, we didn't and. 
I will say, although I don't 

140
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,400
remember the exact moment, I'm 
pretty confident that we put 

141
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,120
them on and we were like, this 
feels great, but it didn't, 

142
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,320
yeah. 
But the look was so good. 

143
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,760
So I mean that is all you know 
like that's also part of it is 

144
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,000
like again it's back to what? 
It's the discipline. 

145
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,520
It's. 
Back to what you said too. 

146
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,240
It's like thinking about what 
things really make or break a 

147
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,160
watch for you. 
Yeah, so if it's like, look, I 

148
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,320
will wear any watch as long as 
it's the most beautiful thing, 

149
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,240
then like, that watch would be 
perfect. 

150
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,200
But I agree. 
With that. 

151
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,840
Yeah, but you don't because. 
But it wasn't the most well. 

152
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,400
Yeah, but if it's. 
But if it's something you just 

153
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,159
think is beautiful and then 
you're like, I don't really 

154
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,880
mind, I. 
Miss bringing photos of that 10?

155
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,480
Interesting the. 
Seamaster Real Master 1957

00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Trilogy Edition I don't. 
I don't miss having to write 

157
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,840
that name in the no. 
It's very long and convoluted. 

158
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,480
OK. 
Mistake #2 for this. 

159
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,080
Maybe this one's more me, OK? 
Not. 

160
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,840
Thinking about where and when 
I'll use a watch, like not 

161
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,280
having a place for it. 
I've spoken before about how I 

162
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,520
like that every watch has a 
reason for being in my 

163
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,320
collection, but there have been 
times when I just got excited 

164
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,800
about buying a watch, did not 
create that story, and was never

165
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,440
able to really retroactively 
create it properly. 

166
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:35,240
So the Grand Seiko SB GM211 that
I bought in Tokyo. 

167
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,960
Beautiful on that. 
Wonderful trip. 

168
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,360
It's a cream dial GMT on. 
A leather string. 

169
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,720
T hand comes on a brown Gator 
strap. 

170
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,160
I mean, really a gorgeous watch,
Very popular Grand Seiko, at 

171
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,280
least in the course. 
Yeah, I was in love with it. 

172
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:54,400
I think I have some photos of it
on my Instagram because I was 

173
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,480
like, this is gorgeous. 
And just a wonderful watch. 

174
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,880
But the story that I built 
around it was that because 

175
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,720
during that point in our lives 
we travelled a lot for business,

176
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,280
like so much. 
And so I was like, this is my 

177
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,840
new business travel watch. 
Like, it's elegant. 

178
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,240
It really fit a lot of the kind 
of travel wardrobe that I had at

179
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,520
the time. 
And I thought, this is perfect. 

180
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,560
But that was, you know, February
2020. 

181
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,840
And then the world changed and 
there was no business travel 

182
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,760
actually for for me like kind of
ever again not, not at that 

183
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,520
level, right. 
So even though, yes, around the 

184
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,560
world people have gotten back to
business travel like it's just. 

185
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:41,720
Not the extent that it was. 
Yeah, yeah. 

186
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,160
So now I'm going on, what, one 
trip a year? 

187
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,640
Two trips a year? 
Whereas before it was 10 trips a

188
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,080
year, Yeah. 
But do you regret selling that 

189
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,280
watch? 
I I regret every watch I. 

190
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:55,240
Sell because I know, but I mean.
All. 

191
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Do you kind of wish more on that
one that you would have kept it?

192
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,720
Yeah, of course. 
But so then my thought is like 

193
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,960
maybe in that case you like 
niche down too much because that

194
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,680
is a watch you could wear every 
day like a lot of places but you

195
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:16,840
were like it is a business 
travel watch. 

196
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,520
Therefore I do not business 
travel right now. 

197
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,760
I don't need a business travel 
watch. 

198
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,600
So maybe that is part of your. 
Well, it was also because OK, we

199
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280
could go real deep on this 
because another mistake would 

200
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:37,000
just be that at that time I 
don't think I was well versed 

201
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,520
enough in watches yet to know 
how to really make that watch 

202
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,600
work with more casual wear. 
OK, yeah, that's true. 

203
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,080
You. 
Know. 

204
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,160
And I I saw it as a more elegant
watch because that's kind of how

205
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,680
it was designed. 
But you can wear things much 

206
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,800
more casually, yeah. 
It's so funny because that's not

207
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,560
how I saw that watch. 
I it's also the 30m water 

208
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:02,160
resistance. 
And yeah, Grand Seiko says that 

209
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,160
means splash only. 
OK, so like when I hear Splash 

210
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,440
only, I automatically think, oh,
this is like a dress watch, but 

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,920
again. 
But again, we're back to like, 

212
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,120
how often do you swim? 
Boo I'm. 

213
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,560
Just saying you're. 
You're like this is only for 

214
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,280
business where you don't swim. 
Yeah. 

215
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,240
When do you swimming? 
During business, right? 

216
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:24,720
Like you don't swim anyway. 
So I think, but I yeah, but 

217
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,800
that's part of it is like the 
story you told yourself about 

218
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,320
that watch is like you couldn't 
you couldn't really change it 

219
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,080
even though. 
So maybe okay maybe mistake 2.5 

220
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,880
is creating two specific, that's
what. 

221
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,160
I said, yeah, you're like 
niching down to like there's 

222
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,880
only one occasion for you to 
wear it, but it it that was a 

223
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,440
gorgeous watch. 
True but. 

224
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,600
When you have a bigger. 
Collection that is and that. 

225
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,520
That could mean different 
things. 

226
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:52,960
You do start. 
To pick like the most specific, 

227
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,880
you start. 
Niching down, because if you 

228
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,800
have, let's say you have 10 or 
more watches and you like to 

229
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,600
have a reason for each watch, 
they. 

230
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,000
They become pretty. 
Difficult. 

231
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,040
You got to be very specific 
about that. 

232
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,480
Then we're back to we should you
should just. 

233
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,160
Everyone should have a two watch
collection, one dress, one 

234
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,080
sports. 
Done. 

235
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,920
I. 
Don't even think a dress watch 

236
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,040
is necessary for most people 
because you can wear casual 

237
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,000
watches. 
In one quite. 

238
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,920
Dressy situation. 
Beautiful watch. 

239
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,640
Yeah, that's one. 
Beautiful. 

240
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,640
Watch. 
That is what we should be 

241
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,600
striving for and will not. 
OK, mistake number. 

242
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
So. 
OK I. 

243
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,440
Guess we have a lot of mistakes 
since we have like added like 

244
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,160
15. 
Well, there. 

245
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,280
There's mistakes and there's sub
mistakes. 

246
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Yeah. 
But mistake #3 is thinking 

247
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,360
anyone outside of our strange 
little group will care about 

248
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,560
what you wear on your wrist. 
Yeah, but. 

249
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:52,760
Isn't that why we all love watch
Instagram? 

250
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,120
Is because you actually fulfill 
the thing you hope, which is 

251
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,560
someone cares of. 
People caring, but it's a real. 

252
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:02,880
Promise because you're. 
People do care, They. 

253
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,600
Care. 
They're excited when you get it.

254
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,080
They're excited when you post a 
photo of it. 

255
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,320
They're excited when you wear 
it. 

256
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,280
But thank. 
You. 

257
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,920
Instagram. 
Community, but they're not 

258
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,920
there. 
So when you strap that watch on 

259
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,160
your wrist. 
And so this is something I would

260
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,240
say I used to be like. 
I used to live this mistake 

261
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,440
every time I got a new watch. 
Even. 

262
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,840
Not just new watches, like, even
watches I had owned for a while.

263
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,880
But nowadays I I I think I'm 
much better about it, is that I 

264
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,840
used to have an expectation that
I it it. 

265
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,520
It wasn't intentional, right? 
Like, it was just a feeling and 

266
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,880
I'd get a watch and I put it on 
and I'd feel like, OK, this 

267
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160
looks amazing. 
It looks so cool. 

268
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,360
People are going to love it. 
Like people are going to be 

269
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,000
like, where'd you get that 
thing? 

270
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,520
That thing's beautiful, and no 
one ever does that. 

271
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,680
So there's Even if you're so 
happy with the watch and you get

272
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,360
all the compliments from your 
Instagram community, there's 

273
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,080
still a level of disappointment 
if you allow yourself to have 

274
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,600
that expectation when you go 
out. 

275
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,560
These days, I don't. 
The past few new watches I've 

276
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,160
gotten, I put them on. 
I do not expect that anyone will

277
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,000
notice. 
OK, maybe a tiny bit. 

278
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,920
Maybe there's a hope and a 
dream, Yeah. 

279
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,600
Sometimes I think about that 
because especially like with my 

280
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,440
OP's, I'm like, this is a bright
color. 

281
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,000
This color is blinding you on 
this call. 

282
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,200
This color is blinding you in 
real life. 

283
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,360
It's like you know it. 
It's almost like one of those, 

284
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,400
like the light coming in your 
eyes and still there's like no 

285
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,160
interest whatsoever. 
Even with a very bright watch, 

286
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,880
even. 
Sometimes with the watch people 

287
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,240
at the office, I'm like, oh, 
you're wearing a watch too? 

288
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,120
And they're like, no, don't 
like. 

289
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,160
I don't notice what what? 
Is that thing? 

290
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,880
Yeah. 
Can you Swatch? 

291
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,840
Yeah, it I but I mean I guess, 
yeah, is that a do you think 

292
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,640
it's just a mistake to feel that
way or it can make you a little 

293
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,800
disappointed with something new 
in? 

294
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,960
My the way I think it's a 
mistake for me to allow myself 

295
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,960
to have that glimmer of hope. 
But then I think, yeah, I mean, 

296
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,200
I do agree though. 
It's just overall, people don't 

297
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,520
tend to notice. 
Like, I can get a pretty 

298
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,920
dramatic haircut and no one says
anything that's. 

299
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,960
True. 
And I think your mistake often 

300
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,440
times is that you think you're 
going to get all these comments.

301
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,440
Yeah, but no. 
One and then. 

302
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,680
You don't. 
Yeah, exactly. 

303
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,120
So if you could just reframe it 
and be like, yeah, yeah, I get 

304
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,560
haircut. 
No one's going to notice. 

305
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,760
And then if someone does notice,
you're like, what? 

306
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,480
Thank you so much. 
Amazing. 

307
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,880
I am a haircut noticer though. 
Women, men, anyone. 

308
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,320
I will be like, hey, you got 
your haircut babies for sure. 

309
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,720
Wait. 
Do babies get haircuts? 

310
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,800
No.
