My two cents…. The mere fact that he is wearing the “Tiffany” op upside down, with his bucket hat, proves that Rolex put that watch on his wrist. There’s no doubt that he’s an industry plant! Probably gets his watches for free….. even though he’s got ridiculous money…. Just so Rolex gets cheap marketing, and hype

@porscherain I like Kevin as a comedian, I like some of the watches he owns. But he basically admitted in that video to having to not knowing that much about watches except for what, 'his team tells him'. And of course his team included the CEO (former) of Audemars Piguet. He's basically exactly what Christian is accusing LeBron James of being but he's open about it. And if I'm being honest, who cares? Watches are toys and guys with tons of money are allowed to like them for being shiny. In this T&H video they certainly sound like haters of LeBron James (I'm not the biggest fan) but at the same time are pumping up Jay Z (what a great collection) and Kevin Hart (same knowledge as LeBron imo) which is likely just an attempt to not look racist?

Christian is funny saying he doubts if Lebrone likes his watches and therefore, could be an industry plant, well, he could be. However, these athletes and money making guys like rappers just want to be seen with cool stuff, weird or main stream. They like it because it is cool, not necessarily as a passion purchase. You hear them being interviewed all the time on life style channels and it is all about flexing. Also, so many ppl are now aware of the fact that spending money on hot ticket items is an investment, athletes, rappers and superstars like we have seen with John Mayor, Ed Sheran, Kevin Hart even area all aware. It is sad. Lastly, prices are supported in the secondary markets by bi and small dealers (speculators) as well as auction houses rewarding buyers

@oscarsnider3999 6 ай бұрын

If Lebron is paying to wear a watch, he likes the watch. It is ridiculous to think that watches are actually indicative of a person, they are Jewelry that makes us feel good which is probably why Lebron likes it as well. Even if he is payed to wear these watches, is that any more contradictory than Christian doing a Fake perfume ad, something I am willing to bet he does not wear and is at odds with his watch opinions? Let's just judge less.

People around the world from the African diaspora came together and watch this movie celebrating their heritage. You comment tells me your tone deaf to the significance of the movie, the moment, the character and the context of history. This tells me not only are you tone deaf. But AP was the one looking to capitalise on the moment. They saw a business opportunity and went for it. The thus secured the love of a community with a trillion dollars of spending power.

I see where you’re coming from of course any brand would love to have one of the greatest to play the game be seen in their watch, but I disagree with this take. I was heavy into sneakers before getting into watches. You see someone wearing a great hype pair of sneakers they know very little about all the time. They may have seen it online or heard about it from a friend. It’s gate keeping to say “they don’t know as much as me or not an aficionado”. It’s ok for someone to buy a watch they like or recommended to them by their jeweler or AD without questioning their knowledge of watches.

We know that the watch companies contacted people that were setting records at heavily publicized events such as swimming across the English Channel, flying across the across the Atlantic, climbing Mount Everest, etc (first wrist watch ambassadors), to show that certain brands were the best watches in terms as a tool. Then fast forward to the film industry maturing and the watch companies are getting product placement and then watch ambassadors in regular advertisements. Currently, we are in an era of social media and most of the public hates interrupting ads. Why not have product placement shown in the personal posts of celebrities similar to film

Whether he is given watches as a plant, or buys them with his endless amounts of money, what does it matter? Him buying a $150,000 watch is like me buying McDouble. If I want a McDouble then I buy one, if he wants a new watch then he buys one. A .25 cent gum ball in a machine takes more though from me than him getting a $6k coral Rolex OP. Come on guys, who gives two rips if he’s a “watch guy” the the man live and buy as he wants. It’s not like his paycheck revolves around flipping vintage or hype pieces. He wears them and have to imagine he gives them away to friends and family if they don’t get worn.

I'm surprised people haven't picked up on this much yet but I think LeBron probably got into watches as investments. Jay Z really changed the way a lot of hyper-rich people in and around hip-hop see watches, and I wouldn't be surprised if he suggested parking money in them to LeBron, and he wears them now because he thinks they're cool, but also like you said, to keep hype up and protect his investments. The Industry Plant conspiracy is possible sure, but I think it's more likely that one of his wealthy friends (which I'm sure he has a ton of, in and outside of the NBA) told him about how much money there is to be here. Most of what LeBron does revolves around money and I don't see why this would be an exception.
