:( they should be nice to everyone!

what humour? hehe jk

you are very lucky! is that so in London as well? sounds like I need to move back to the UK haha

thanks!

!!! I am not worthy 🥺 thank you thank you

thanks much!

woah! where are you shopping? that’s impressive! i got a couple lady datejusts offered but nothing else; i didn’t buy and don’t want to flip them, but too bad they don’t at least hold their value. perhaps we need more women watch fans. :) how did you get your Explorer 36? super cool you have that one and very very happy to hear it’s your most worn.

@@janegoldberg I think it might just be because you’re in a major city, or they just want to make people feel special (which is understandable!). I got my explorer with almost no wait time a couple years ago, I think it was 8 days? I just walked in and had a nice chat with a sales assistant and they called me a week later 😅. The 36 is much easier to get a hold of now that the 40 is the one that a lot of people want

@polygoncoco that’s incredible! you are living the dream. i did not know that about the 40. why is it popular now?

@@janegoldberg it was released a while after the 36, I think a lot of men just don't like wearing smaller watches

What do you recommend? :)

​@@janegoldbergI don't agree that "Rolex are only for beginners," but other brands you might like are Nomos and Grand Seiko

@moreplatesmoreface those are great, agree. i especially like vintage grand seiko

@@janegoldberg great choice!

Thank you. I really like your specific feedback. Greetings from New York.

what would you change? :)

@@janegoldberg less comedy perhaps. but im probably a very different audience from what you're trying to reach

@@Sunny-yg2pq if you have a few seconds to give feedback, my other watch video should have no sarcasm or humour and i'd be curious what you think of its tone. the next video coming out will also be more serious/emotional.

I like the humour!

agree 100%. it’s the opposite of Hermès!

@@janegoldberg that's actually the perfect analogy

@@StephenRoseDuo :)

Thanks Alec. That’s interesting to hear. It’s funny how different things are in different countries; the Rolex problem would be like a paradise to me. We have the problem you speak of but with Apple Watches, even in New York. I wonder if that’s like Omega in London to some extent. We have an event called Windup Watch Fair with many smaller brands. If you are visiting the US, you might enjoy it.

I guess the solid case-back argument might hold in the 50s and 60s when Rolex's raison d'être was making tough tool watches, but no longer seems to hold water (pun intended) in modern times, when it's become a bit of a stretch to consider a brand-new GMT-Master II or a Smurf Submariner a tool. Also, plenty of modern manufacturers are capable of making tough, highly water-resistant watches with a see-through case-back. Case-in-point: the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik has a sapphire case-back, 200m water-resistance with just a push-pull crown, and is less than 9mm thick. P.S. loved the Zenith Chronomaster Revival Shadow shout-out - that's such a brilliant watch!

Thanks much, Tom! Do you have a Rolex or Rolex on your wishlist?

This is highly insightful! I’m curious how strong the sapphire caseback is compared to steel either when a fast, direct, perpendicular force is applied or if the material is dropped with an intense shear force.

@@janegoldberg I do! Got my first Rolex last year and it’s the 40mm Explorer. Simplicity and relative anonymity. Much like yours! Yes sapphire crystal glass can still shatter upon impact with relative ease if it’s hit in the wrong place, although much harder break than regular glass or acrylic crystal. Adrian Barker channel on KZfaq (Bark & Jack) recently shattered his Explorer 2 crystal while photographing the watch when dropped onto a rock from only a couple of feet. But don’t feel like you should baby your watch! They are intended for use in tough conditions and daily wear, enjoy and live your best life, congratulations on your amazing watch, Rolex is a status symbol but they also make a fantastic product, and like yourself every experience I have had with the company and it’s salespeople has been positive! :-)

Thank you Al.

They're not real collectors. They are frauds who wanted a Rolex to flex. Real collectors appreciate Rolex and know what they are all about. I have a SS Pepsi and SS Daytona. I got both from the AD in California. It's been amazing owning these coveted pieces. You clearly dont know what you are talking about if you think it feels "cheap" -- go back to fantasy land.

@@meetseth3 The metal bracelet does not feel as heavy as many other brand watches, hence the perceived lower quality. Compare stainless steel bracelets with other Swiss brands and you will see what I mean.

Wow, you have quite a collection! Vacheron Constantin and Cartier are two of my favourites. I’m curious what you have from those 6 brands.

@@user-og2wt3le4j Fraud

Tudor is rolex

🙂

Thank you. 🌼

!! I love your tips. Thank you so much. And hehe noted about the Kelly. 🙂 Thanks again for watching.

Hey! I’m glad you asked. You pose a good question. 1. www.ted.com/talks/alastair_gray_how_fake_handbags_fund_terrorism_and_organized_crime I’m curious what you think of this if you have time to watch it or read the transcript 2. The real thing either mostly holds or grows in value over time, but this applies more to the classic styles than every style. 3. Maybe it depends on the rep but generally the real thing is better quality. Can’t say that’s always true though. 4. It’s a fun hobby, but I would not forgo my savings and investments for it.

I love you too!

Thankfully there’s no zipper on the toy size but there’s an incredibly strong magnet! I had no idea the Alma shape would be like that. Good to know. The hug looks incredible. That one has stood out to me too. I definitely want to hear how your trip to Ferragamo goes. 🩵

Ooh, I thought there was for some reason, when you were talking about the opening The speedy is even worse for the opening imo I’ll let you know how I go!! ☺️

You’re totally right! The opening is what I was talking about. It’s my mistake; I didn’t point out that clearly enough in the video. It has two strong magnets on either side of the opening. And yay!! :)

Surprisingly not at all! I thought that would worry me. It’s because you attach in a side/perpendicular location where the clip doesn’t fall whether you’re using the bag or not. The Toujours is super cool. I’m curious which color you got and what you love about it!

your collection sounds incredible. and i had no idea about the hack. will definitely try it. thank you!

aw thanks!

Hi! Thank you for your beautiful comment. You are a great writer and a very thoughtful person. I have always been curious what it would be like to have an MM and am wondering what you think of that vs. the GM. 🩵

Thank you! I just looked at your channel. I appreciate how you are teaching people to be genuine and honest with an emphasis on good character. The best to you as well.

Hahaha. It is funny how much our built environment affects us! And aw you must have some stories. 🥹

Wow. Thank you for sharing that. I am sorry to hear you are stuck and am here if you need to talk about it. Thank you for believing in me. I am the luckiest to have your support. You have such a tremendous ability to speak encouragement into my heart. When I get frustrated or tired, I will reread your note. I won’t give up; don’t you give up either. Thank you, friend. 🙂

Oh, I just got to the starfish story- haha, how relevant!

@mmrr9650 hehe 🌟

Thank you so much! 🥹🩵

Thank you. Hope you’ve been well!

Wow, I love your story. 🩵 Thank you so much.

Aw, that’s totally understandable. I’ve heard of people taking their bags to Leather Surgeons for an adjustment with success.

That’s good feedback. I’d love to make a Rolex video!

Thank you and best wishes for your future bag!

@@janegoldberg 💕

You’re welcome. It is okay for some people. It can go either way! (The Lady Dior is seemingly even heavier haha.)

Wow! You are creating the collection of dreams. 🩵 I am honored you asked. If it’s important for you to complete the trio you definitely should. But here are 3 ways of thinking about it: 1) Maybe ask yourself which you’d regret not completing: getting the trio vs. getting the baby Birkin! 2) Maybe rent a B25 and K25, then try both for a few weeks! Or you can buy one and return it from Fashionphile if you don’t take the tag off. 3) Since you will add both eventually, you could put both on your wishlist and just see which you get first. I’m too much of a B fan so I’d want the Birkin trio before getting BKC. But the smaller Kelly sizes are so cute and I always wonder if I should get one. Maybe a K25 in retourne or a box mini Kelly in the distant future. The shoulder strap sounds amazing. For now, I’m on the wishlist for a B25. By the way, I’m curious how you decided on the K25 vs other sizes! Also, will be interested to hear what you end up with!

@@janegoldberg Thank you for the thoughtful reply! 1. I would not regret either. The Birkin and Constance are far more usable than the Kelly. The Kelly, however, would complete the trio. 2. I tried them all in Ginza last Fall! They are both quite toy like, but the Kelly 25 is similar to my small coco handle size wise (sort of), and the Birkin 25 has the same capacity as the Picotin 18. 3. I think so too. I will leave it up the Hermes Gods (quoting my Hermes SA :D) and take whatever comes up first. You and I are both young (I’m in my mid-late 20s, are you as well?), so we have many more years ahead of us to acquire these milestone bags! I wanted any bag in the 25 size, including the Bolide 1923 25. My SA told me they never come in to the boutique, so I’ve resorted to pushing it off. In my opinion, the best sizes for each Hermes trinity bag is B30, K25, and C18.

Oooh I’ve always wanted to go to Ginza. That sounds amazing! Maybe next time I’m in Asia. And haha your SA sounds funny. 😆 You’ve kind of inspired me to get a K25 in the distant future. I’m 31, turning 32 in a couple of months. Looking forward to talking to you again. 🩵

Hahaha. You bet!

I appreciate you so much! Thanks for watching and listening so carefully. Really kind of you. You really made my day. Okay sounds good. I’ll review the Givenchy next time I make a bag video. 🙂 P.S. You are not vapid! Some of the kindest, smartest, most thoughtful people I know love to learn about cars or watches or bags. It’s okay to have fun learning about anything. 🩵 From reading your comment alone you are a kind person who puts people first, meaning being vapid is the last thing you have to worry about. Also I love your bunny photo.

That is amazing! It is incredible what we all can do beyond what we think. Your story is such an inspiration. Very cool to hear you are still running. Cheers.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and support. I had no idea about the 5 year limit; that is useful intel. Agree 1000%.

@@janegoldberg You're welcome!

Thank you for sharing your opinion. These classic bags are growing in value faster than the market so I can see it both ways. :)

@@janegoldberg I get where you're coming from seeing them as an investment, but the super fakes might change all that. From what I've heard, it's getting harder and harder to tell the difference. 😊

@@betford2 !! Scary! That reminds me, I’m super curious if anyone has successfully replicated the Chanel microchip.

@@janegoldberg Wow, That's a good idea to protect their product authenticity, and the hacker's next challenge. 😁

that one sounds great! 🙂

Good luck with everything. ❤

Thank you for your generous words, Mishell! And what an adorable emoji that is hehe.

As someone who just started doing so, I find your message so uplifting and supportive. Thank you. I appreciate you.

I was just checking back in the comments to see if anyone had any feedback I should use for future videos so I can give you what you want. Imagine my happy surprise when I saw your edit! Thanks so much for that. I would LOVE to do a review like this on my other bags. Will definitely add that to the schedule. (This upcoming Wednesday June 5 might be a watches video but the following week will be a bag review.) I’ll always value your feedback, positive or negative. Thanks again @euriditia. ❤ If you or anyone else reading this has a preference about which bag I should review next, feel free to let me know.

Yes! It’s the Louis Vuitton, Neverfull GM, damier azur with beige interior.

That’s amazing! I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
