00:00 Yo, yo, what's up GQ?

00:01 I'm Moses the Jeweler, and today I'm gonna break down

00:03 some of the more affordable watches

00:05 worn by celebrities today.

00:06 [upbeat music]

00:08 Timothee Chalamet.

00:15 We have Timothee Chalamet rocking a Cartier Panther.

00:19 It's a higher end piece, but it's not crazy.

00:22 It's very subdued, and he's actually wearing a lady size,

00:25 which I like also.

00:26 He makes other men feel comfortable

00:28 rocking a piece like this.

00:29 These are definitely way more affordable.

00:31 As you can see, I have a ladies Rolex over here.

00:33 So it'll only cost you around $4,000 leaving my shop,

00:36 as opposed to getting a 36 millimeter

00:39 and paying close to $7,000 on a piece like this.

00:41 He makes it cool to rock something like this,

00:44 and you're saving a lot more money.

00:45 This Cartier Panther retails for around 4K,

00:48 but you can find vintage ones like this

00:49 for close to the two brand range.

00:52 Will Ferrell.

00:53 Over here we have Will Ferrell wearing

00:56 a AORUS ProPILOT X400.

00:58 Has a little pinkish hue to it,

00:59 which the first thing that I thought

01:00 was the Oyster Perpetual Rolex.

01:02 Of course, for these special colors,

01:04 you can be paying a much higher price.

01:05 And this AORUS is very similar to it,

01:07 and you're gonna pay 1% of the price

01:10 you would pay for the Rolex.

01:11 I think he wore this one at the Barbie premiere,

01:13 which I love that he got creative,

01:16 and he wore something that has that pinkish hue

01:18 at the Barbie premiere.

01:19 He's having fun with everything.

01:20 If you're looking to spend under $5,000

01:22 for a gorgeous watch, this one costs close to $4,000.

01:26 I'm a Rolex guy, so if I were to buy any watch,

01:29 at that 5,000 range and under,

01:31 I'd go with a simple Rolex Datejust 36 millimeter.

01:34 This one I would let go for $4,000 right now.

01:36 This is a 1601 vintage piece.

01:38 Nice tight band.

01:39 It's not like you're gonna get something

01:40 that's crazy beat up and barely wearable.

01:43 You get some of these gorgeous pieces

01:44 that are extremely durable and made to last a lifetime.

01:47 Tyler, the Creator.

01:47 He's always doing something cool, something different.

01:51 Definitely a very fashionable guy.

01:53 You know, Tyler, the Creator,

01:54 he's known for his crazy Cartiers.

01:56 They said a Casio quartz, which very classic.

01:58 Rubber strap.

01:59 I like the patina dial,

02:01 that little patina yellow dial, it's kinda cool.

02:02 A Casio like this, you can find this for under $30.

02:06 Very cool, very sporty.

02:08 Tyler, the Creator's rocking in a luxurious way.

02:10 Costed him basically a sandwich and some chips.

02:15 Kid Cudi.

02:15 We got a Kid Cudi rocking his G-Shock Bape watch.

02:21 Extremely colorful, extremely fun.

02:23 You see he's rocking it with his pink hair.

02:25 Very retro vibe, which this is more my style.

02:29 So if I were to go for an affordable watch,

02:31 this is definitely the first one on my list.

02:33 That's the cool thing with G-Shock,

02:34 is that it's a watch that was done for the military,

02:36 something that you see soldiers wearing,

02:38 and then you got somebody like Kid Cudi,

02:40 who's an A-list celebrity, rocking this quartzite.

02:42 G-Shock's an abbreviation for gravitational shock.

02:45 The G-Shock was basically designed

02:46 to just be an extremely resistant watch,

02:48 something that you can literally fight wars with

02:51 or go hiking with or do all this crazy stuff.

02:54 So for a very small amount of money,

02:56 you can get something that will be very durable,

02:58 something that'll probably last you a lifetime.

03:00 Just needs a battery change once in a while.

03:02 G-Shock's a timeless watches.

03:03 You got a Spike Lee rocking one,

03:05 quartzite at the Knicks game, wearing the Knicks colors.

03:08 Cool thing about G-Shock also is

03:09 they're always doing these collaborations with celebrities.

03:11 There was a collab with Ed Sheeran that I really loved.

03:14 There was this like yellow and black G-Shock,

03:16 which again, pops.

03:17 Always be on the lookout for some of these cool collaborations

03:19 that G-Shock does.

03:20 You know, some of these pieces,

03:22 just like Rolex goes for a premium,

03:24 these G-Shock collabs also go for

03:26 almost double to triple premiums over its retail value.

03:29 Steph Curry.

03:31 Greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry.

03:34 Luxury, clean, sleek.

03:37 You have the Movado Museum Classic watch, and I love it.

03:40 It kind of reminds me of the Onyx dial that Rolex does,

03:43 but it's not gonna break your bank.

03:44 You have your Movado that has no hour markers,

03:47 except for the big gold circle at 12.

03:49 And I also love the shape of the hands.

03:51 I think it's a very clean watch.

03:52 This is something that I'll add in a collection

03:54 any day of the week.

03:55 It's a lot of watch for a little amount of money.

03:58 Steve Jobs.

03:59 We got Steve Jobs here, a legend.

04:02 Over here, he's wearing a Seiko Quartz.

04:04 Honestly, he's making me wanna get one right now.

04:05 Looks cool, looks vintage, looks classic.

04:08 Fire piece.

04:09 And the cool thing is,

04:10 when you are somebody like Steve Jobs

04:11 and you wear this watch,

04:12 his watch went in auction for $42,000.

04:16 Making something that was probably under $100 ago

04:18 for that amount.

04:19 It shows you that the value is inside the person,

04:21 not in the watch.

04:23 P Davidson.

04:24 Rocking over here, Casio Classic.

04:27 Classic Casio look.

04:29 Tells the time digitally.

04:30 And you got that whole black look, it's clean.

04:33 Put on his hoodie, throw on that watch,

04:35 and it's a comfy look.

04:36 It's a lot of watch for a small amount of price.

04:39 And this one looks like a G-Shock.

04:40 Actually, I thought it was a G-Shock,

04:42 but it costs way less.

04:43 This one will run you around like $42.95.

04:46 Mark Wahlberg.

04:49 Timex.

04:50 It's another legacy watch brand

04:52 that makes an affordable timepiece.

04:54 As we see here, we got Mark Wahlberg

04:55 rocking a $77 Timex Ironman.

04:58 Again, cool look.

05:00 Sleek, black, subdued.

05:02 I like to tell the time digitally sometimes.

05:04 You don't gotta look so deep into

05:06 seeing where the hand is at and everything.

05:07 Over here, you read the time, it's that easy.

05:10 Jack Nicholson.

05:11 You have somebody like Jack Nicholson,

05:14 probably one of the greatest actors of all time,

05:16 who can afford any piece,

05:18 sitting here rocking a Timex Easyreader.

05:21 I love it.

05:23 Looks like a classic watch.

05:24 Looks like something that could be expensive

05:25 if it said Patek Philippe.

05:26 Over here, it says Timex, and it's extremely affordable.

05:29 And you got legends like Jack Nicholson rocking it,

05:31 so why not you?

05:34 Bill Murray.

05:34 I think Bill Murray got a little jealous of Jack Nicholson.

05:38 He said, "I need one also."

05:39 So over here, we got him rocking also a Easyreader.

05:42 A little bit different than the other one that was worn.

05:44 This one has the silver secondhand.

05:45 I like the contrast in the watch.

05:47 You have the white dial,

05:48 you have the silver bezel and the silver lugs,

05:51 with the black hands and the black numbers.

05:53 I think it's a nice contrast.

05:55 This is a everyday watch to rock and enjoy.

05:57 We have all the rappers now rocking two watches on the wrist.

05:59 I think Bill Murray's the first one to do it.

06:01 He's got a Cartier on his left hand,

06:03 he's got a Timex on his right hand.

06:05 I love it.

06:05 Trendsetter.

06:07 Ronny Chieng.

06:08 Sometimes the biggest flex is rocking something

06:11 that you find in an antique shop.

06:12 Here we have Ronny Chieng,

06:14 rocking a vintage Mickey Mouse watch,

06:16 pushing boundaries over here.

06:17 Rocking a nice velvet green suit jacket.

06:21 And then he threw on this Mickey Mouse watch.

06:22 You can tell he's just having fun with it.

06:24 He said, "I'm gonna come to this classy event

06:26 with this Mickey Mouse watch."

06:27 And that's the cool thing with these watches.

06:29 Don't be afraid, if you're not a celebrity,

06:30 don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone

06:33 and do something like this.

06:34 This is fun and it's definitely a comfortable starter

06:36 at any of these events.

06:37 You know, you don't always have to like

06:38 rock name brand pieces.

06:39 Like a lot of people, they show off,

06:40 "Oh, my Richard Mille is numbered to 75."

06:43 You can't find another one.

06:44 I don't think you're gonna find another one

06:45 of these vintage Mickey Mouses also.

06:47 That's the real flex here.

06:48 I hope after watching this video,

06:53 you guys understand that the watch game

06:54 is not only for the rich and famous.

06:57 It's for everyone, like you and I,

06:59 that you can find yourself some gorgeous watches

07:01 from $100 to $1,000.

07:03 Again, knowledge is power.

07:05 Moses the Jeweler, out.
