If you have a car, it's worth spending more to get a Toyota. A life without the chaos of unscheduled maintenance is worth the price.

I, too, am a gun guy, pen nut, and watch enthusiast. I find that guys who appreciate mechanical things end up chasing these particular areas of interest. Great video!

I have this book by my bed. At 71 still at the gym. Retired pilot of 40 years and after age 40 a medical inspection was required every 6 months. Discipline is so important. Cut the alcohol 25 years ago, never smoked, started exercising. Now at 71 i'm still in decent enough shape to safely handle a 800+# bike thanks to the above. I enjoy your videos. Just found them.

For me personally, I'd add a quality operator chair. I bought an Herman Miller Aeron with my first paycheck, I've used it every day of my career, and 17 years later im looking at early retirement and its still going strong. Meanwhile every other operator style chair is broken after a year of mild mannered office use.

1 Watches 2 Books 3 Gym membership 4 Decent Car 5 A good Knife 6 A good Pen I totally agree with you but I would also add a gold chain with a medal or sacred symbol to pass down and a good handmade leather wallet (a credit card holder is also fine)

That is why I love YT! I just found your channel and you combines all the things I love! (Great watches btw)

This is a great list. It took me a long time to enjoy reading, but found myself scrolling. Ever since I got the kindle paperwhite i've been reading everyday. It's important to challenge yourself and learn new styles of writing and learn from books themselves. Find a way to enjoy reading even if it's with your phone.

For watches - spend the money for a Tudor. They have the reliability of Rolex without the flashiness, only need to be serviced every 10-15 years, and will last a lifetime.

Agreed. Very good choices. I enjoyed listening to this.

Nice video mate. Couldn't agree more with all six--new subscriber.

Awesome advice 😊

If you don’t want to spend the bucks on a Rolex or Omega, consider a Longines or Hamilton. Both are quality brands with good automatic movements.

I would add a good pair of sunglasses. I have my Ray Bans for over 10 years now and they were worth every penny and i use them quite often. Also a good cologne as a signature scent. My own choice is Platinum Egoiste by Chanel. A timeless classic.

keep making videos never stop one love 🙏🙏

Great video and great choices. I would also suggest looking into vintage fountain pens and watches. Not to save money. I have a pen that belonged to my great grandmother, and a Mont Blanc that my sister gave me when I graduated law school 35 years ago. Of course, I also shave with two Gillette razors, one that belonged to my grandfather and one that was issued to my father in the US Navy during the Korean War. Of course, I also shave with two Gillette razors, one that belonged to my grandfather and one that was issued to my father in the US Navy during the Korean War. Don't discount a plain old SAK - or I still have my Dad's BSA knife.

Nice vid. I would add a good edc flashlight. Olight is my choice but there are many.

I'll add a pair of sunglasses and a stereo receiver for my list.cheers😊

Great advice dude.🙏🏽

Niw I can sleep easy with my 40 watch collection.

I re-read the book of 5 rings every few months. Its like a living thing, every time i do something difficult i find a new insight in that book; everytime i read another book that's worth reading i find a new insight in the 5 rings. Im rambling, but I always get so excited when i hear someone has enjoyed a book as much as i have.

I like your style. Wish you millions of subs!

The Book of Five Rings changed my life when I read it!! I had started studying wado-ryu karate about six months after my wife had died. I did this for the fact that I needed something to burn off the anger that I had. In the very beginning, I was timid when sparring. My instructor approached me one evening after class and told me to buy a copy of the book. I did the next morning. Read it twice during that and the next day. The following evening, as I was padding up to spar, I thought "why not try it...?" I tore through the guy that I was sparring with. He was utterly shocked!! From that point on, I had to be cautioned not to destroy my opponents. Great book--get a copy...!

Solid Watch, Solid Gun, Solid Knife. Car is important I also agree paid off well maintained reliable! I would add flashlight 🔦 and maybe a good handmade shoe and quality Jacket.

Small flashlight/torch - I use them more than my knives. Can also be effective for self defense. Leatherman or Victorinox SAK would be a decent add too.

Truly a wonderful video and valuable too. I may do one of these one day. Thank you for taking the time to share this. I'm very envious of your ability to do weights and pull ups, sadly something I had to give up after my operations to restore my lungs. Then again I choose breathing over being dead and muscular. 😅🤣 Can you blame me? It cost 98k per lung. I'm just happy to be able to do cardio and boxing. What watch was that @5:07 may I ask? Also, just out of interest, if you had to choose between your Pelagos and your Subby, which would you pick if you could on keep one? KBO!

A good stereo receiver. Been using a Yamaha for 27 years.

IWC is about 5K Breitling 5K Panerai 5K. That gets you an incredible life, long high and luxury watch with an automatic movement.

Great video! I agree with you on all counts. I’d probably add a decent flashlight, too. I like the expression that says: “If you can’t buy the best, buy the best value.” I’ll have a Datejust someday, but until then, my Seiko SARB035 does the job well.

Holy smokes, I thought I was an "old headed" guy. I literally have the same exact list with some of these items being with me for over 10 years.

Great list, I’ll add one more 7. A good Upper Receiver

I agree with the sentiments in your video. Good recommendations. For most people here in the UK, knives aren’t a thing like they are in the US, plus we have a bad knife crime issue right now, so I’ll pass on the knife. For books, I’ve read medical advice that as well as reading non-fiction, reading novels helps keep the brain fully active because you have to balance multiple characters and their perspectives as they evolve and interact. Anything that might prevent dementia gets a thumbs up from me. I’m into watches too and agree with most of what you said but I wouldn’t dismiss a good quartz watch. A Cartier Tank or Santos quartz model will have about an 8 year battery life and are two of the classiest watches you can buy. After all, if Muhammad Ali and Princess Diana both wore the Tank, surely anyone can and the quartz models are indistinguishable from the automatics at half the price! The only other suggestion from me would be footwear. Buy some top quality leather shoes or boots and maintain them well, ideally a couple of pairs so that you rotate wearing them so that they have a chance to recover from absorbing rain, sweat etc. Cedar wood shoe trees help enormously by helping the shoe retain its shape.

I'd love to debate you on the car. I didn't have one until my 30s and credit the thinking and financial outcomes to my current wealth.

Books are good! I love paying 120.00 a month at lifetime fitness. Another good suggestion

Other than the car rest all agree , I personally own cars but I am more comfortable to be driven around . This is more personal

I have the Pelagos. I cried twice. Once when I bought it, and then when the lume markets kept falling out. Now I’m debating about just getting Chinese watches since I won’t cry once.

I´d include a quality flashlight like Maglite and a pocket knife, by /swiss army or Wenger. Take care

It's not an investment watch, but Ball makes a great watch at an affordable price. Rolex is really good because in a jam, it can easily be turned into cash. Not everyone can afford a Rolex but I find myself wearing and enjoying my Ball Engineer 3 a lot more than my Rolex.

I'd also reccomned having a motorcycle. It takes the freedom of a car to a whole other level.

Take the gym membership off this because you dont need a gym in anyway to get and stay in shape. Also kershaw and gerber knifes are not expensive. 90% of their knives are under $60 also they use alot of very low grade steel 8cr13mov look for a knife with at least D2 steel or a s30

Sure there’s value to each of those but gosh the car thing especially! Grew up with crappy cars that were too unreliable to leave town and now that I have a good and reliable car it’s amazing and so much more conducive to living life.

I'm a Bible enthusiast. I couldn't agree with you more when it comes to a book you read every day. Business people often cite The Art Of War. Get the best possible quality you can on everything. India paper, line matched print, art gilding, edge lined, goatskin leather. As with anything else that's an EDC, you have to want to use it. So make sure it's something of high quality, super durable, and that you simply love. It will become an heirloom.

This is a very very helpful video

I turned 50 in December. Since then I've invested in a few very decent homage watches that I absolutely adore. A Timex American Documents, and a Weekender. I have a 1997 Toyota T100 with over 301,000 miles on it that's my daily driver. I'm a truck driver by trade and I use a knurled, full stainless steel Zebra 701 pen for my job. It writes ultra smooth, and is durable as hell. You've got more $$ to spend than I do, but I really took time with my choices and I think they'll last me a long, long time. Cheers.

As far as a car goes, do research regarding the engine in the car. You would be surprised at the cars that have terrible motors. You would also be surprised at the cars that have good motors.

Gym membership Good books Those are the only two things that really have the most value in this particular video. The other stuff is interchangeable and not going to make or break you. Maybe the car can be included. Most modern day cars should be manageable and reliable if you take proper care with maintenance. I’d recommend the following for young men especially. A good mentor - the value of a good mentor in a field you’re interested in could be priceless if you invest the time and effort. Success breeds success. Fix/maintain relationships with family/good friends - people usually find this out too late. Time is a finite resource and the more you can cultivate healthy relationships/friendships the better off you’ll be mentally combined with the other things on the list. You might have to pay with time to carry this out. I assure you it’s worth it. A good suit - a lot of people don’t have a good suit. You will separate yourself from the masses if you get a tailored, well fitting suit. It will help build your confidence level in every way as well. It’s worth the investment.

Some watches, especially pocket watches have continued to work past 50 years if not weathered too much . They're a good investment.

Very informative video Can I also get a gmt instead of a divers watch? Thanks

Do you mind me asking which garmin is that and which strap you using ? Looks good !

The only thing I would change is replace the pen and buy yourself a good mattress

Great video. I’m interested to know why you went with those two watches in particular as they look quite similar, with the black dial / black bezel. No hate, love both watches.

Great video, thanks, but I don't agree about workout. Stretching much more importent, do yoga and you will not overcharge your muscles and joints! I know many guys whos got problems after many years doing workout. I love the Pelagos, but it's too small for me, I prefer the bigger (42mm) one. Don't forget, you can wear an automatic watch, if you don't ride a motorcycle or bicycle during.

You probably should also mention good quality footwear. Well-made boots/shoes would last for many years and would keep looking great

You living in military barracks? I haven't seen decor like that since the early 90s when I got out of the corps.

Well done.

You gained a subscriber bro 🫂🗿

1:47 garmin? Apple Watch Ultra is great option✅ 3:49 health is wealth 5:36 automobile ✅ 6:49 need one kershaw launch 4 7:58 fountain pens messy rollerball or ballpoint Montblanc ✅

Nice video Sir and all important things you talked about. ❤ But if you talk about body health, regular workout and nice expensive rolex watches, why didn't you mention a nice scent? Not a 200, - bones ecpensive juice, but a good smelling and affordable fragrance for a "well put together man" is a "must have" in my opinion... 😊

I think finding a good career (as a man) and spending the money to get the qualifications, let it be law school or trade school etc 8s worth every penny as well

Liked and subbed

These are things you may value and think are worth every penny but it’s really all subjective, except the Health and taking care of your body.

Would love your opinion on the opposite. What things aren't worth the money but are commonly said to be so.

I would add one important thing that most people unfortunately disagree. That is vegan food. This is ethically only right choice.

Great video; only disagreement is that you have to buy an automatic watch. Quartz watches are excellent choices as well, and are a great choice for a first watch especially.

Love it. By why two dive watches?

Can i suggest one more thing to u - a pair of hair clippers

Lamy 2000, highly recommended 👌🏻

Well done video

So would you say you consider yourself a minimalist?

G-Shock GW5000U-1 so you can sync your automatic watch. Toyota, no arguments. Spyderco PM2. Skilcraft U.S. Government Ball Point Pen. And everyone needs to read "1984".

I’d probably say: Your own family Work/Life Balance A home in a nice area Nice Watch Nice set of Kitchen Knives. Luxury Bed/Mattress

I like fountain pens, but honestly, you can get a pretty decent one for about $10. if you lose it, no big deal the pocket knife. I also agree with I carry a case knife. You can get one for under 50 bucks again if you lose it, not the end of the world. same thing with the watch a simple $100 timex or seiko. I can’t tell you how many times I have an obliterated a watch, of course by accident by hitting my wrist on a wall. an arm rest on a plane you name it. For me doesn’t need to be worth a bunch of money. The car in the gym membership are 100% understandable.

I feel sorry for you.. you should try and find what’s really worth every “penny” in life, and I can tell you for sure that you won’t find a price on them at all.

You can sub the car for a motorcycle. Much more fun. In the UK knifes are banned. We can’t carry them.

Good video. The agent lifestyle. But working out with a Rolex is clownish. Yiu can easily destroy it when not being aware. Other than that good video. Espeacially with the car. Bought a new SUV. I had bad stories with used cars. Cost me my nerves and more money. The agend lifestyle.

I have a Rolex watch and i wish i hadn't bought it over 12k for a watch i have to either were every day to keep it wound up or set the time and date every time i put it on. I don't ware a watch every day and I don't ware my Rolex when i am out in the woods or working so it is really annoying to have to shake it and set the time and date every time i put it on.

✨

Thats a mans talk, very good

I had Mercedes for 5 years, it's a good car. But need good maintenance. I have a Toyota, and still running today... after 35 years. I also own Mistubishi, it has better engine than Toyota, but performance, I think Toyota is better.

I would add Sig Sauer Legion. Just in case.

whats the knife for

A G Shock and a Seiko will do the job. Rolex service is around 1000 pounds a year.

loved the video, any recommendation for a watch under 500$ thx

Agree on the pen. But I really need it to clip to my pants like my knife, but not many luxury options have solid clips.

Kemo Sabe - excellent video and recommendations. I would strongly suggest investing in a multi-tool. I was gifted a Victorinix multi-tool in 1993, when I was commissioned a Marine Corps officer 31 years ago. I still have it and it has saved the day a few times. I also recommend investing in a great pair of cap toe black shoes made by Alden, and a 100 percent wool Mackinow cruiser jacket made by Filson. My final two recommendations are to invest in a 3rd, or 5th Generation 4Runner, and a P365 SigSaur XL firearm. Be good men! Semper Fidelis, Lieutenant Colonel, USMC (Retired)

I wish I could have one ⌚ but I'm poor and can't have one but I'm still going to get a plastic watch

Interesting video. You are one of the few persons your age that has an interest in fountain pens as EDC. Mine are Pilot Vanishing Point (retractable FP), Rolex Datejust and Submariner, Swiss Army Knife (small, I have a Benchmade Auto, but can't carry that), firearms: H&K .40 Compact/Walter P88 9mm, Colt Detective Special .38, Power Strength Gym membership, daily driver Toyota-Highlander V6 AWD (not exciting but it gets the job done), and reliable), yes, read books and NEVER stop learning. Now, I would add to that, though not EDC, travel. Learn about other cultures, maybe even learn another language. Learn to appreciate art, music. For a wallet, Ettinger coat wallet. Signature scent, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille.

Where do you live?

Man...4k watch and 20$ knife. Get you a Chris Reeve bro.

Interesting you got a black bay and a sub.

Do you live in a garage?

Two books to read and re-read theat’re worth every penny: The Bible and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

Cost of ownership!

“ a proper watch “ is stupid as fuck. I’m a millionaire and would never buy a Rolex.

1. what about a high quality quartz watch? they should technically also outlast you and are more accurate than mechanical watches. 2. you forgot the most important thing that is worth every penny... a boat.

If I'm "not a watch person", then I won't buy a watch. I also don't care about hats or jewelry.

Any watch that tells time is a proper watch d-bag.

Get a good style. Don't try too hard, but try a little.

I will swap car for motorcycle

It is subjective but bike ,watches,car,house and physical health , knowledge is worth every penny
