Sorry Gen Z, but the submariner and Seamaster are not “old money”

Somebody doesn’t know anything about watches😂

Rolex is very much new money. Wall Street trader types from the 80’s. And used car salesman

Rolex: thousands of used car salesmen can't all be wrong.

Rolex got no business being on here

“Daddy’s Trustfund” is better fitting

Calatrava and Cartier are correct. But replace Rolex and Omega with JLC, IWC and Vacheron. Also, as a general rule dress watches are more old money than sports steel.

Worst list. Where is the vacheron constantin, FP Journe, and a. lange & söhne?

Money is money some people spend their fortune on a multi million dollar apartment and 200k in watches I bought a 2,000 acre Ranch and 500k in ATVs and I still wear my Casio

And where's the 5th?

LOL submariner... the absolute personification of tasteless NEW MONEY.

People still dont understand the term old money its quiet luxury so that means nothing flashy and high end fabrics or bespoke

This was absolutely hilarious lmfao like what a 14 year old would think. Thank you for this 😂

I was about to rage if Cartier wasn’t there.

Cartier tank is such a statement piece Any time I see one I just give a look and nod

Old money watches are independent watchmakers like Van Der Klaauw, Voitilinen, Habring2 etc

Rolex Subs as old money watches?! Salesperson and finance guys wear them and none of them are old money. So, plz...

Literally nothing on this list is “old money”. They’re all hyped watches that even non-watch people know. Should’ve known from the twink in the image that this was gonna be some kid’s opinion of “old money”

Nothing screams more NEW MONEY than Rolex

As someone who is “old money” ( I inherited 8.1 million dollars with a 2.4 million dollar house and a boat with a Porsche from my grandparent ) this is hell not old money but this are some beautiful watches

Where did you learn to count

If I can afford it, it’s not old money lol

But the guy in the pic is wearing Tag heuer 😂

I really like pocket watches, and I recommend it to anyone into the aesthetic!

Fun fact, the omega seamaster is what prince harry is wearing and it was a gift from his mom princess Diana

The only Rolex that makes me think of old money (not judging) is Cellini

Cartier Santos, IWC Portofino and EVERY of the A. Lange & Sons watches 😉

Rolex Daydate suits more than Sub, although Datejust is also good alternative. Same goes for Omega, in which Globemaster or Constellation is more suitable than Seamaster.

Cartier and PP are the only old money watches here. Nothing Rolex is old money, it never was. It has always been the "Look at me, I made it watch" so it's the Timex of the Luxury watch industry

You’re naming the most prolific watch brands. I couldn’t make a more social climber “new money” list of watches if I tried.

The best watches are the ones without the date wheel.... Most months don't have 31 days, and you have to "go to the past or future" to set the right date to make sure that tomorrow's date is the right date.

You left out JLC Reverso, Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, simple Cartier tank, Piaget. An old Rolex is old money, a beat up first gen GMT is old money. A vintage Omega Constellation pie pan is old money. The kid in the picture looks like one of those trust fund babbies who has never worked a day in his life and knows he never has to worry about working.

“Stop, leave me and my GF alone! Or my dad will sue”

Best middle class watches!

Uh no… Cartier and Rolex OP, preferably vintage. See there’s a line in Downton Abbey that perfectly describes old money: “Your lot buys, and my lot inherits.”

Everyone are seems to be watch experts arguing about which watches fit old money and which watches doesnt, but NOONE mentioned that u NEVER ever wear watch and bracelets/jewelry on the same hand (cartier and rolex pictures)

Nah Dress: Patek calatrava (definitive dress watch) Cartier tank (iconic) JLC reverso (subtle yet unique) IWC portugeisser (class) Breguet Classic (underrated) Sports: Patek Nautilus steel or white gold (no need to way nothing) AP Royal oak jumbo steel (thin and elegant) Patek Aquanaut white gold (green or blue on rubber=sports watch galore) VC overeas steel (underrated) Blancpain fifty fathoms (as good as divers get) Rolex Submariner White gold (no one not in the know will think you're weaing a gold watch aka ultimate understated class piece) General rule avoid too flashy stuff like big yellow or rose gold pieces and super bright colors. Stick with white, black or blue or maybe a muted green like the aquanaut.

Rolex n Omega will be glad to hear they finally 'made it'!😂

Somebody needs to get a refund on Their education that made Them very unproficient at Math because last I checked 4 watches shown in this clip DOES NOT make 5 as labeled. Also, WTF was this whole video short even about and "Old Money"? What the hell is that???

First 2 are not old money

I hate saying it because it's a new money vibe but no watch beats the royal oak.

Old money? Buying any of these only tells me that someone looked at a luxury watch recommendation list on a blog/forum. None of these are special watches. If you live in a big city you’ll see these everyday, several times a day. If you want something unique, look for a smaller company or independent watch brand. If you want “old money…” just look in the mirror and ask yourself why you’re trying to give off an impression that clearly isn’t genuine. F!cking posers drive me up a wall.

I liked the blue T-shirt more than the watch

As someone who is around old money. The vast majority of them are into cars with significant history. Not one of them are into watches. Most of them wear Seiko’s. Like battery powered traditional faced Seiko’s. I’m the fanciest one with an Apple Watch.

crazy how many old money people are here to chime in on their opinion

Lemme fix this list, 1. Jlc reverso 2. Vacheron constantin traditionelle 3.Grand seiko SLGH005G(white birch dial) 4. A. Lange & Sohne watches 5. Chopard L.U.C

Those Rolex are 100% not old money or new money. They are just entry level luxury watches . Old money = Cartier, Piaget, Lange, JLC, maybe a 36mm gold Rolex if you have to put Rolex on the list

I would replace the sub with a Tudor snowflake sub, and the seamaster with a vintage speedster or constellation, but other than that sure.

Bro gave the most default expensive watches and thought we wouldnt notice

cartier tank, patek philippe calatrava, jlc reverso, vacheron constantin patrimony, omega contstellation pie pan

With only two hundred dollars, you can have a Rolex watch.

The best old money watch is a Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso

Rolex is not old money. Maybe some vintage or prototype models. But not your typical submariner.

I just want watches that have a vintage look to them from companies that have a long heritage. That’s why I love my Tudor 1926. Looks modern because of the shine but has an old look to it which I love that most consumers don’t care for. My next watches are a Rolex OP41 with a green dial and possibly Longines Sector Dial with a black/grey dial. I love the elegant timeless look of them. If I want sporty watch, I’ll get a Casio, which everyone knows they are God Tier. 🤣

Reverso deserves a spot! It was actually designed for polo players

tha cartier love bracelet with the leather strap cartier watch looks way more fly then a rappers iced out cartier watch with his iced out cuban bracelets

The Real Deal for Old Money watches are: •Cartier Tank •Omega DeVille •Rolex Cellini •Tudor Oysterdate •Longines MasterCollection •Seiko Presage Cocktail •Mido Baroncelli Heritage •Tissot Gentleman Powermatic80

Submariner and … I mean if you were going to go diving, maybe the younger generations of “Old Money” yes, but it shouldn’t have been the first thing thinking of “Old Money Watches” Vacheron Patrimony, Calatravas, and or Annual/Perpetual Calendar Pateks, Moonphase Chronograph Pateks such as Ref.5270s, Tank de Cartier correct, maybe older model cellinis, Classique Elegance by Girard Perregaux, some Breguet, A Lange Sohne maybe Lange 1 or any Lange really, Arnold and Son, some Piagets definitely more options to “ Old Money Watches “ than a Seamaster, even there are better options on Omegas, maybe some Deville, Constellations, maybe even if you pick a Seamaster, it won’t be the Diver, Aquaterra or their Heritage collections are way more suitable to the “Old Money” insignia.

Rolex, old money watch? 😂 They were founded in 1905.

Gen z is so lost. The most new money ever - the sub

Bro thinks we all rich

Not having a Rado Golden Horse on this list is criminal.

Cartier Santos, Cartier Santos Dumont, JLC Reverso,…

Rolex sub is one of the most "new money" watches currently, having a vintage sub is debatable tho.

Subby and Seamaster “old money”? 😂. Only in one scenario. I’ve worked on projects with people that come from British families with a military tradition, who were often themselves ex-officers. It’s not unusual to see some of those old guys wearing 1980s/90s subs with their suits because that’s what they wore when they were officers. A younger guy with a newer issue is usually not new money, unless he is wearing it during an activity such as sailing.

Im going to pass down my Casio Duro to my kid.🙂

I wouldn’t say the seamaster is ”old money”, And neither is the submariner.

We actually wear Grand Seiko, Vacheron Constantin, and, Patek Philippe. We laugh at our poor friends who wear Cartier and Tudor. Not like you NEW MONEY people would know that though... (I have $8 in my bank account and wear Casio's)

Change Rolex to Fifty Fathoms, and the Omega to a Vacheron Constantin

Top 5, proceeds to name 4 watches.

We need OLD MONEY to buy one of these

submariner is probably one of the most popular watches that rolex has.

cant go more "new" money than the submariner

Rolex is only “old money” if ur rocking like a faded ass 4-digit that looks like its best friends with a blender. bonus points if its been polished so many times the crown looks like a pacman ghost.

A Casio F91W is more old money than a Submariner. Wealth whispers

Submariner is new money 100%

Boutta slap u for that watch selection gen z boi 😁

Hmm more like vintage Seamaster 300m (wavey dial). The one Pierce Brosnan wore. Rolex is ok, go for vintage dj in 36mm or Explorer 1/2(polar 41mm!!). Vacheron and Patek is not for old money kids, sry that statement was ok 50 years ago. Some vintage breitlings can fly too like the old navitimer with winged printed logo. you won’t find the vintage vacheron worn were you guys hang, it is saved for special occasion like family Christmas, not for office hours.

So no F.P. Journe, Blancpain, or A. Lange & Söhne?

Flashy pretentious overhyped expensive watches that look like mass market. But who am I to judge. My top of modest and incredibly attractive vintage-style watches (from expensive to affordable): 1. Glashutte original sixties 2. Ball trainmaster legend 3. Seiko 5 snkl (I must admit, overhyped nowadays, too) or something similar

Old money is not sports watches, it’s Patek and Vacheron, FP, JLC, A Lange, Breguet etc, AP burnt that bridge a bit recently too or else they would be included.

I’m good. Those watches look like a woman’s watch on my wrist. Give me another Panerai Submersible in 47mm any day of the week over those dainty watches listed here. If the case is smaller than 45mm then they can keep it. Idc who makes it because I won’t wear it.

…a Sub is like one of the first things people buy when they come into money.

Patek, Cartier are old money. Omega and Rolex definitely not. Add Breguet, ALS and VC.

i can relate to that patek but not those diver watches you better look for a jager or chopard maybe a fp journe

A DJ36 would fit better than Submariner. And for Omega it is probably the Speedy 57 or any type of Constellation.

"Top 5 old money watches" - proceeds to only show 4. Cartier Tank and Patek Calatrava, yes. Rolex Submariner, maybe. Omega Seamaster 300m, no. Proper "old money" would have had a Vacheron Patrimony and a JLC Reverso in there, probably a Breguet too.

if you want to make something like that you need to include cartier or jlc otherwise just say old looking watches that are relatively new

All of them except Calatrava are just common luxury watches. Old: wrong, Money: wrong

Pole router would fit more imo

Nah, casio lineage That watch proves that price doesn't always mean quality

Anything in gold qualifies

No Rolex is old money guys.

Vacheron Patrimony, Calatrava, JLC Reverso, Rolex Daydate 36 or Datejust 36, NO OMEGA fan boys, and some even wear ETA Navitimers usually in gold case on leather strap as far as from the bigger brands, then there’s Arnold and Son, Breguet Philippe Dufour Crador etc

After buying one of them I'll be no money

Sub is not old money unless its vintage. Daytona on a leather strap is more fitting.

He was not joking about money lol

this guy knows nothing about watches > "okay chatGPT, list expensive iconic watches" > ctrl + c, ctrl + v > post

ROLEX IS THE 👑 OF WATCHES

Submariner maybe, specially vintage, but omega no fking way
