You know, there's almost a cliche these days the tutor is what Rolex used to be back in the day, but it makes perfect sense because people can actually buy tutors, you know, as opposed to Rolex. I mean, Rolex is a great company. I still have more Rolex than any other watch in my collection. But to me, Rolex is not so much a watch company now.

It's like something you see and you talk about but they're not really available for sale.

0:27.0

and some watches that he's added to his collection since the last time we had him on
