Welcome to this watchlife. Hi, I'm Lydia Winters. And I'm Boo Booey, and today we're going to play Would You Rather Part 2? Watch Edition Watch you rather. Watch you rather. What do you think? No, it doesn't actually give any information about what. It is Watch you. Rather, it's both nonsensical and confusing. Oh, those are two of my favorite things. Obviously I love it. And you're like, no way. No, thank you.
Last week we played, would you rather I made three questions for you and I felt as though you didn't have the proper perspective to really see the gravity of the situation. And I said we'll do this again, but I'm going to give you a little more time, tell you more in advance so that you have time to really contemplate like is this what you really? Want do you do you know that Would you rather is like there's not a right or wrong answer. There's just like two different
things. Yeah, the the right one and the wrong one. I mean, there's always at least two different things, you know, and at least one of them. This is why. Would you rather is hard for you saying? I told you from the beginning, would you rather it's not a game that I have been known to be. Like playing? Yeah, just. Known to be playing. OK, OK, I get. It I have come up with two, would you rathers for you, you've come up with one for me and we're going to go through
them right now. OK, I'm ready this time and I'm so prepared. I will definitely make the correct you've. Let it you've let it sink in. But OK, hold on. I just want to mention though, they're just kind of like ways to talk about watch collecting philosophy or even like think about it yourselves because sometimes when you have these, would you rather questions, you're like, oh, would I want a bigger collection or a smaller collection, What I trade, what I have, so like, yeah.
Yeah, but you can do all that philosophical stuff and still be a writer. I'm just saying I sometimes, although I am open, I'm genuinely open to all the the answers, all the perspectives. It doesn't mean that. I think they're. Right. OK. OK. You, you go ahead and ask me the first one and we'll see. Well, actually this will be the first game of would you rather where there's a like a buzzer and it's like whenever I am incorrect, incorrect. OK.
Would you rather get $100,000 to buy any watches you want? Like then there's a whole secondary question is would you get like less like under 3 watches or would you get 10 watches? That is not a part of this. OK, fine. Right now, $100,000 to buy any watches you want, or you get $1,000,000 to buy so many watches you want. But they can't leave your house. You only wear them at home. Can I photograph them at home?
At home? Oh. Yeah. That adds, I mean, OK, so I realize that for you, this question. Because I get a lot of joy from wearing, but also a lot of joy from photographing watches. So then the balance kind of shifts a little more. I can understand that, although I think it would be really difficult to own like like like let's say you spent half of this on just like a ridiculous watch,
right? You, you, or or even just your Cartier Crash. Let's say you you went and bought a Cartier Crash. You you don't get to wear it anywhere. I guess maybe you're just having way more house parties. That's what I was gonna. I like that you're calling them house parties. Yeah. That's a party. At your house. Isn't that what they call them? Like. Home party? Is that what it's? I don't. Know. Have people over for dinner?
Probably at our age. Oh. Yeah, that's the last time we had a house. Party not, Not since we had a house. I've ever been to a house party. Not the way I see them. In movies, no, in movies. House parties are, like, really wild. Yeah, OK. I think. OK, I I guess I did think about it, but I'm still kind of like both sound good. Well, see then. This is a good one then. Should I? Should I get your answer first so I know the right answer and if I'm wrong?
I would do the 100 grand, OK. I would because I don't like the idea of like prioritizing more just for more. I like that idea like I like that was what was swaying me as more, yeah, more, more. As I said in. My mind like a watch that you can't use isn't as useful. That's true. So it's like, cool that I'd get to look at them, wear them at home, photograph them. That would be really cool, but it wouldn't feel like those watches are useful in any way. Yeah, that's true.
You know, so let's say some of them are at least like, really gorgeous. Let's say one is a Jacob and Co and just like beautiful 3 dimensionals. So amazing. Great. I could take some photos of it, but I can't like go and and have people enjoy that. Yeah, it would just be me on my team skull with my Jacob and Co flashing it, you know, blinding everyone with the bright light. And then let's say you know one of them is a Richard Meal. You know, those are at least my
understanding. I'm not the the most well versed in Richard Meal, but my understanding is they are made to endure a lot right. There's super many of them are lightweight and and they're they're meant to live life of action. And the couch just doesn't offer that. Yeah, that's true. I'm still going to go with a million. I I what? I'm saying my truth. I just think that how many like because I get to photograph them. If I didn't get to photograph
them I might change my mind. But I feel like in this case, since it's all free money, because I could still have watches that I own and then I wear. It out this $1,000,000. So I'm like, oh, I only wear the crash at home or the, you know, the Piaget cuff. OK. Yeah, I mean, fair enough. Million. I I maybe I need to tell you these a week. And a half, OK. Think about it. Maybe I will always take the
money and run. OK, so mine is Would you rather only be able to own black dial watches the rest of your life, or only be able to own everything but black dial watches for the rest of your life? And this includes your current collection? OK. So it's not. Just you don't get to keep the ones you want because I really need this to, yeah, to be harder for. You. Yeah. Because I know you would just pick like all the colors but black if you could keep your collection but.
Especially my GMT Master Two Pepsi that is a black dial watch. But this is the thing that makes this question harder, because a lot of times people have bought, you know, the the the black dial watch that they feel is like the one the Explorer, a Submariner, the GMT Master 2, you know? Speedy. Like so many beautiful watches. And you're like iconic. Yeah, most of the biggest icons are probably black dial because it's also the most common dial
color. I mean, we we all know what my answer is, so it's not even difficult. I would just have to say bye to a a few of my black dial watches that I do love, but I would do that because I love the color. If I said that I would only take black dial watches, then that means FXD is gone, Explorer 2 is gone, right? My corono is gone. Like basically my collection is decimated because I actually own mostly not black dial watches.
That's true. If I take everything but black dial watches then I mainly am going to lose out on my Pepsi. So so the question should have been would you rather give up your Pepsi or the rest of your collection? Everything else. So what I'll say is it, although it'll take some time to save up, I'm going to do. I'll take everything but black dials. Whoa, OK, right, so. Only colored dials. That means I get to keep the majority of my collection.
I have to get rid of the Pepsi and then I just save up and get the white gold Pepsi because it's got a blue dial. OK. Would it be different if it was black and white dials that you could have versus all other colors? Wait, black and white are both out? Yeah, if you could either have black and white or all other colors except black and white. That is different, that is actually. OK, a question for another. Day cream. OK, OK, I guess this question needs more thinking.
I I need. More obviously I would pick the colors because I love color watches. Yet the majority of your collection, I believe, is black dial. No. We'll go count them later. I believe it is. It's not. Yeah, in quantity. I'm not just thinking Rolex. No, OK. I guess we're going to have to do a deep. Dive OK, well, this one wasn't too hard then, so how about one last question? Let's do it. Would you rather get any 3 watches of your choosing for
free? So there's no. Price and I can wear them out of the house. You can. Wear them wherever you want. Any 3 watches that exist. It could even be a piece unique that right now someone else owns and you're like, no, that's mine, now you can own anyone. Would be such a mean move, I would not do. That that's. So mean, they're like, kicked it all out and they're so excited and I'm like, hey, would you rather a yoink? No, that is so mean. I would not do that. What if? They're a mean.
Person No. You get to know you get their own bio before you take. This just keep going or would you rather is off the rails today? You get any 3 watches if you're choosing. OK. Or you can borrow any watch you want any time you get each watch for one day. You can't borrow the same watch twice. So that it's it's you can every day you get a watch, any watch, it's not yours. You got to give it back at the end of the day. Each one lasts a day.
You can never borrow the same watch twice so that. I mean there's a lot of amazing watches out there so it's not like you're going to run out anytime soon. But it's like you'll never get the feeling like like your crash, right? You're going to get that one day. I guess maybe one day you'll have the diamond one. And so you can wear a crash a few times. But you're you're you're never going to be the person who has the crash. Or you could own the crash because it would be one of your
3 watches. But then you don't get like this unlimited and and let's just for for ease of decision let's say you're going on a vacation. There's like a a person in a helicopter drops it off every morning and takes the other one at night. You know. So it's like it's not like you have to plan ahead for those things. You're just like today's. Here's the watch I want Boom. There, It's there. OK, 'cause I was actually my biggest question was about the
paperwork of this. Because what people don't know at home is like, I don't like if I can just text a message that says like the watch and then it just like shows up wherever, that's fine. Actually in this scenario you just think it. OK because otherwise if it was like I need to fill out a form and then I would not get to use any watches so then I would just pick the first one because at least I get watches so that. Into existence every day, and then it poops away at the end of the day.
OK. That's perfect. OK. What are you taking? That one. The the the different watch every day. Of course that's the way better. Where are you not? Why are we? How? How are we together? I don't know. Honestly, that's so much cooler. Although, but then if we're together then we eat like in the household. We'd have both of these options all the time if someone actually came and presented this. If someone's going to helicopter me, I'll watch every day.
There's a lot. Of implications, the same thing. Oh, we did on the colors. That was the first time, I think, at all that we chose the same thing. OK. But I'm going to explain, I think that it I like wearing watches. So if I can kind of pull out the owning part like, oh, this is mine, yeah, then what I like is wearing watches. And I think it's cool to get to see watches, talk about watches, look at watches, photograph watches.
So the fact that I could just get to see so many different things, try them on and just have fun and like pair them with outfits, I think the hardest part would be making sure you didn't choose it too early. So I do. I think that would be more. Complicated. Not even save the good ones. But you're like is this the best time I could wear this one watch? Like does it? Especially if I think about like fashion and matching and like would this look the best with
this particular outfit? Or is there any other outfit? Or is there any other event? So I think that part might be where, you know, we get into the paperwork or the indecision. But I do think there would be something fun about being like, oh, OK, cool for one year. It's just borrowing the new releases from watches and wonders every day. A new one? Just send a random one and let's
see how it goes. That day, what is the circumstance or what are you doing the day you're like, all right, today's Rainbow Daytona Day, you know? Yeah, I guess there would be those like special watches, but then The thing is you would find like new brands that you don't know about or that you couldn't afford or that you, you know, but like there's. I think you'll get to really explore the independence this way. Yeah, for sure. And just try new things.
And I just think that would be really fun because, you know, I mean, do you even own a protect? You just hold it for the next generation? No, I'm just kidding. It's just a really extreme. You're like, does anyone own anything? So my answer is the other. One, Yeah. OK. In case you couldn't guess. I did guess. I would definitely just take 3 watches that I they're mine now.
Basically, whenever I look at the questions, you always pick the first answer, which is kind of the more straightforward one typically, but. That's how you have to. Structure and then I take the second one, but there's a but. But I'm like, who cares every time? I feel like you're still ignoring it against your own nature in some cases, but not this one. I I do believe that you would take that, yes.
Yeah, pretty sure. And I believe they're probably some silly people who would take your choice. OK, so there's the romanticism. There's that word again of like, I own these things and I put memories into them through my life. That's true. And then they build up this accumulation of good times, You know, actually not just good times, but times, right. And you embed those into this physical thing, right?
Totally a construct of our brains justifying buying these beautiful, wonderful, shiny things. But like, it's really to me about, like, just being able to own things for a little bit longer. And I think that that. Yeah, I don't know. There's something very enjoyable about having them be a part of your life as opposed to just because to me, if I can only wear any watch once, then it's just an accessory. That's true, and it's not a part of my life. Yeah, that's beautiful. Show me the money.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
