A Few Preliminary Points
First, he wants to address that he’s a watch slut. He loves the beauty of watches, everything from a cheap-ass Timex Weekender (everyone can get one of these). Next, watches are the most amazing accessory out there. Alpha loves the cool ass watches that aren’t Rolex! He promotes watches that he loves that aren’t Rolex. He loves the aesthetics! Last, Alpha is not an expert but the loves the combinations of metals, faces, straps, and so forth. The Timex keeps better time than his Rolex. It doesn’t stop, need to be wound, and has other benefits. That being said, he does love Rolex.
General Info About the Watches
He has three expensive watches, and they vary in price. He started with a cheaper watch and then made more expensive purchases by selling cheaper versions. He wears these watches HARD. They are scratched up from one end to the other. He works out and runs in them. He doesn’t plan on selling them — they’re his, he loves them, and he wears them as much as possible.
Do Not Fakes
Buying online watches, buy from a reputable dealer. Fakes today, they look almost like a one to one copy. Do not ever buy a fake luxury watch? Why would you when so many outstanding affordable watches are available? Save up for that luxury watch.
Alpha’s Rolex Watches
- Milgauss – he fell in love with it when he saw it on a GQ cover. He loves the orange hand and grayish face. It’s beautiful to him although a lot of people are ‘weird’ about this watch. He got it when he went on Shark Tank the 2nd time – it was a statement that he was proud of.
- GMT-Master II – It’s more sporty and rugged. It looks like a Submariner, but he likes it better because of the luxurious and blingy look. He also said that the numbers around the entire bezel. He likes the balance. It’s comfortable and heavy where you can feel it on your wrist.
- Yacht-Master – This is Alpha’s baby. It’s rose gold with matte black bezel and face. It has a rubber bracelet and rose gold clasp in the back. To Alpha, this is his ‘grail watch’. This is it — the pinnacle of perfect for him. He has no intention of buying another super high end watch.
Stuff Is Just Stuff
Stuff has never been a motivator for Alpha. Success and feeling of accomplishments are what drive him. At the end of the day, watches are just stuff. Life is about being happy and feeling good about yourself. Helping others, relationships, and making something of yourself are what matter. Watches are ‘stuff’ and it’s cool. In social media, people have fancy cars and stuff, but Alpha has never felt comfortable talking about his Rolex watches. He doesn’t want to send out the wrong message – that you should strive for material possessions. The fact is that Alpha has busted his ass, and at the end of the day, he rewarded himself for his hard work. These three watches are representations of him not giving up and working hard.
