Welcome to this watchlife. Hi, I'm Lydia Winters.
And I'm Boo Booey, and today we're going to play Would You
Rather Part 2? Watch Edition Watch you rather.
Watch you rather. What do you think?
No, it doesn't actually give any information about what.
It is Watch you. Rather, it's both nonsensical
and confusing. Oh, those are two of my favorite
things. Obviously I love it.
And you're like, no way. No, thank you.
Last week we played, would you rather I made three questions
for you and I felt as though you didn't have the proper
perspective to really see the gravity of the situation.
And I said we'll do this again, but I'm going to give you a
little more time, tell you more in advance so that you have time
to really contemplate like is this what you really?
Want do you do you know that Would you rather is like there's
not a right or wrong answer. There's just like two different
things. Yeah, the the right one and the
wrong one. I mean, there's always at least
two different things, you know, and at least one of them.
This is why. Would you rather is hard for you
saying? I told you from the beginning,
would you rather it's not a game that I have been known to be.
Like playing? Yeah, just.
Known to be playing. OK, OK, I get.
It I have come up with two, would you rathers for you,
you've come up with one for me and we're going to go through
them right now. OK, I'm ready this time and I'm
so prepared. I will definitely make the
correct you've. Let it you've let it sink in.
But OK, hold on. I just want to mention though,
they're just kind of like ways to talk about watch collecting
philosophy or even like think about it yourselves because
sometimes when you have these, would you rather questions,
you're like, oh, would I want a bigger collection or a smaller
collection, What I trade, what I have, so like, yeah.
Yeah, but you can do all that philosophical stuff and still be
a writer. I'm just saying I sometimes,
although I am open, I'm genuinely open to all the the
answers, all the perspectives. It doesn't mean that.
I think they're. Right.
OK. OK.
You, you go ahead and ask me the first one and we'll see.
Well, actually this will be the first game of would you rather
where there's a like a buzzer and it's like whenever I am
incorrect, incorrect. OK.
Would you rather get $100,000 to buy any watches you want?
Like then there's a whole secondary question is would you
get like less like under 3 watches or would you get 10
watches? That is not a part of this.
OK, fine. Right now, $100,000 to buy any
watches you want, or you get $1,000,000 to buy so many
watches you want. But they can't leave your house.
You only wear them at home. Can I photograph them at home?
At home? Oh.
Yeah. That adds, I mean, OK, so I
realize that for you, this question.
Because I get a lot of joy from wearing, but also a lot of joy
from photographing watches. So then the balance kind of
shifts a little more. I can understand that, although
I think it would be really difficult to own like like like
let's say you spent half of this on just like a ridiculous watch,
right? You, you, or or even just your
Cartier Crash. Let's say you you went and
bought a Cartier Crash. You you don't get to wear it
anywhere. I guess maybe you're just having
way more house parties. That's what I was gonna.
I like that you're calling them house parties.
Yeah. That's a party.
At your house. Isn't that what they call them?
Like. Home party?
Is that what it's? I don't.
Know. Have people over for dinner?
Probably at our age. Oh.
Yeah, that's the last time we had a house.
Party not, Not since we had a house.
I've ever been to a house party. Not the way I see them.
In movies, no, in movies. House parties are, like, really
wild. Yeah, OK.
I think. OK, I I guess I did think about
it, but I'm still kind of like both sound good.
Well, see then. This is a good one then.
Should I? Should I get your answer first
so I know the right answer and if I'm wrong?
I would do the 100 grand, OK. I would because I don't like the
idea of like prioritizing more just for more.
I like that idea like I like that was what was swaying me as
more, yeah, more, more. As I said in.
My mind like a watch that you can't use isn't as useful.
That's true. So it's like, cool that I'd get
to look at them, wear them at home, photograph them.
That would be really cool, but it wouldn't feel like those
watches are useful in any way. Yeah, that's true.
You know, so let's say some of them are at least like, really
gorgeous. Let's say one is a Jacob and Co
and just like beautiful 3 dimensionals.
So amazing. Great.
I could take some photos of it, but I can't like go and and have
people enjoy that. Yeah, it would just be me on my
team skull with my Jacob and Co flashing it, you know, blinding
everyone with the bright light. And then let's say you know one
of them is a Richard Meal. You know, those are at least my
understanding. I'm not the the most well versed
in Richard Meal, but my understanding is they are made
to endure a lot right. There's super many of them are
lightweight and and they're they're meant to live life of
action. And the couch just doesn't offer
that. Yeah, that's true.
I'm still going to go with a million.
I I what? I'm saying my truth.
I just think that how many like because I get to photograph
them. If I didn't get to photograph
them I might change my mind. But I feel like in this case,
since it's all free money, because I could still have
watches that I own and then I wear.
It out this $1,000,000. So I'm like, oh, I only wear the
crash at home or the, you know, the Piaget cuff.
OK. Yeah, I mean, fair enough.
Million. I I maybe I need to tell you
these a week. And a half, OK.
Think about it. Maybe I will always take the
money and run. OK, so mine is Would you rather
only be able to own black dial watches the rest of your life,
or only be able to own everything but black dial
watches for the rest of your life?
And this includes your current collection?
OK. So it's not.
Just you don't get to keep the ones you want because I really
need this to, yeah, to be harder for.
You. Yeah.
Because I know you would just pick like all the colors but
black if you could keep your collection but.
Especially my GMT Master Two Pepsi that is a black dial
watch. But this is the thing that makes
this question harder, because a lot of times people have bought,
you know, the the the black dial watch that they feel is like the
one the Explorer, a Submariner, the GMT Master 2, you know?
Speedy. Like so many beautiful watches.
And you're like iconic. Yeah, most of the biggest icons
are probably black dial because it's also the most common dial
color. I mean, we we all know what my
answer is, so it's not even difficult.
I would just have to say bye to a a few of my black dial watches
that I do love, but I would do that because I love the color.
If I said that I would only take black dial watches, then that
means FXD is gone, Explorer 2 is gone, right?
My corono is gone. Like basically my collection is
decimated because I actually own mostly not black dial watches.
That's true. If I take everything but black
dial watches then I mainly am going to lose out on my Pepsi.
So so the question should have been would you rather give up
your Pepsi or the rest of your collection?
Everything else. So what I'll say is it, although
it'll take some time to save up, I'm going to do.
I'll take everything but black dials.
Whoa, OK, right, so. Only colored dials.
That means I get to keep the majority of my collection.
I have to get rid of the Pepsi and then I just save up and get
the white gold Pepsi because it's got a blue dial.
OK. Would it be different if it was
black and white dials that you could have versus all other
colors? Wait, black and white are both
out? Yeah, if you could either have
black and white or all other colors except black and white.
That is different, that is actually.
OK, a question for another. Day cream.
OK, OK, I guess this question needs more thinking.
I I need. More obviously I would pick the
colors because I love color watches.
Yet the majority of your collection, I believe, is black
dial. No.
We'll go count them later. I believe it is.
It's not. Yeah, in quantity.
I'm not just thinking Rolex. No, OK.
I guess we're going to have to do a deep.
Dive OK, well, this one wasn't too hard then, so how about one
last question? Let's do it.
Would you rather get any 3 watches of your choosing for
free? So there's no.
Price and I can wear them out of the house.
You can. Wear them wherever you want.
Any 3 watches that exist. It could even be a piece unique
that right now someone else owns and you're like, no, that's
mine, now you can own anyone. Would be such a mean move, I
would not do. That that's.
So mean, they're like, kicked it all out and they're so excited
and I'm like, hey, would you rather a yoink?
No, that is so mean. I would not do that.
What if? They're a mean.
Person No. You get to know you get their
own bio before you take. This just keep going or would
you rather is off the rails today?
You get any 3 watches if you're choosing.
OK. Or you can borrow any watch you
want any time you get each watch for one day.
You can't borrow the same watch twice.
So that it's it's you can every day you get a watch, any watch,
it's not yours. You got to give it back at the
end of the day. Each one lasts a day.
You can never borrow the same watch twice so that.
I mean there's a lot of amazing watches out there so it's not
like you're going to run out anytime soon.
But it's like you'll never get the feeling like like your
crash, right? You're going to get that one
day. I guess maybe one day you'll
have the diamond one. And so you can wear a crash a
few times. But you're you're you're never
going to be the person who has the crash.
Or you could own the crash because it would be one of your
3 watches. But then you don't get like this
unlimited and and let's just for for ease of decision let's say
you're going on a vacation. There's like a a person in a
helicopter drops it off every morning and takes the other one
at night. You know.
So it's like it's not like you have to plan ahead for those
things. You're just like today's.
Here's the watch I want Boom. There, It's there.
OK, 'cause I was actually my biggest question was about the
paperwork of this. Because what people don't know
at home is like, I don't like if I can just text a message that
says like the watch and then it just like shows up wherever,
that's fine. Actually in this scenario you
just think it. OK because otherwise if it was
like I need to fill out a form and then I would not get to use
any watches so then I would just pick the first one because at
least I get watches so that. Into existence every day, and
then it poops away at the end of the day.
OK. That's perfect.
OK. What are you taking?
That one. The the the different watch
every day. Of course that's the way better.
Where are you not? Why are we?
How? How are we together?
I don't know. Honestly, that's so much cooler.
Although, but then if we're together then we eat like in the
household. We'd have both of these options
all the time if someone actually came and presented this.
If someone's going to helicopter me, I'll watch every day.
There's a lot. Of implications, the same thing.
Oh, we did on the colors. That was the first time, I
think, at all that we chose the same thing.
OK. But I'm going to explain, I
think that it I like wearing watches.
So if I can kind of pull out the owning part like, oh, this is
mine, yeah, then what I like is wearing watches.
And I think it's cool to get to see watches, talk about watches,
look at watches, photograph watches.
So the fact that I could just get to see so many different
things, try them on and just have fun and like pair them with
outfits, I think the hardest part would be making sure you
didn't choose it too early. So I do.
I think that would be more. Complicated.
Not even save the good ones. But you're like is this the best
time I could wear this one watch?
Like does it? Especially if I think about like
fashion and matching and like would this look the best with
this particular outfit? Or is there any other outfit?
Or is there any other event? So I think that part might be
where, you know, we get into the paperwork or the indecision.
But I do think there would be something fun about being like,
oh, OK, cool for one year. It's just borrowing the new
releases from watches and wonders every day.
A new one? Just send a random one and let's
see how it goes. That day, what is the
circumstance or what are you doing the day you're like, all
right, today's Rainbow Daytona Day, you know?
Yeah, I guess there would be those like special watches, but
then The thing is you would find like new brands that you don't
know about or that you couldn't afford or that you, you know,
but like there's. I think you'll get to really
explore the independence this way.
Yeah, for sure. And just try new things.
And I just think that would be really fun because, you know, I
mean, do you even own a protect? You just hold it for the next
generation? No, I'm just kidding.
It's just a really extreme. You're like, does anyone own
anything? So my answer is the other.
One, Yeah. OK.
In case you couldn't guess. I did guess.
I would definitely just take 3 watches that I they're mine now.
Basically, whenever I look at the questions, you always pick
the first answer, which is kind of the more straightforward one
typically, but. That's how you have to.
Structure and then I take the second one, but there's a but.
But I'm like, who cares every time?
I feel like you're still ignoring it against your own
nature in some cases, but not this one.
I I do believe that you would take that, yes.
Yeah, pretty sure. And I believe they're probably
some silly people who would take your choice.
OK, so there's the romanticism. There's that word again of like,
I own these things and I put memories into them through my
life. That's true.
And then they build up this accumulation of good times, You
know, actually not just good times, but times, right.
And you embed those into this physical thing, right?
Totally a construct of our brains justifying buying these
beautiful, wonderful, shiny things.
But like, it's really to me about, like, just being able to
own things for a little bit longer.
And I think that that. Yeah, I don't know.
There's something very enjoyable about having them be a part of
your life as opposed to just because to me, if I can only
wear any watch once, then it's just an accessory.
That's true, and it's not a part of my life.
Yeah, that's beautiful. Show me the money.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
