do you love watches imagine getting one
0:02
every single month Dave Taylor here and
0:12
I had a chance to check out watch gang
0:14
which is a watch of the Month Club now
0:16
anything of the month feels kind of
0:18
retro but watches cool I like watches
0:21
it's a great club for watch collectors
0:24
turns out they have three tiers but
0:26
before we get there let me tell you what
0:28
I got I actually signed up for one month
0:30
of the black tier so it cost 99 bucks
0:34
for one month you can sign up monthly
0:37
you can sign up for three six or twelve
0:39
months and of course these make great
0:41
gifts if you know someone that's a watch
0:43
collector but what I got for my 99
0:46
dollars is a blacklist and this is the
0:49
Laguna Seca steel sm0 one for watch and
0:54
it lists on their site for 299 bucks so
0:57
299 buck watch for $99 it's a pretty
1:01
good deal and as you can see it's pretty
1:04
darn nice looks nice on my wrist it's a
1:06
simple elegant racing style watch no
1:10
complications on it in fact literally no
1:13
complications on it it features let's
1:16
see it's an 11 millimeter thick case and
1:20
it's a carbon fiber dial very cool and
1:23
it is luminescent and the strap is
1:27
stainless steel I did have to get a
1:29
couple of links taken out because my
1:30
wrist apparently is not the maximum
1:32
thickness wrist in the world and it's a
1:36
Swiss quartz movement with the renata
1:38
377 battery sapphire coated mineral
1:42
glass and it's water resistant to 10
1:45
atmospheres which means you can go and
1:47
dive 300 feet and this thing's still
1:49
gonna be fine which means for sure
1:51
you're gonna be able to use it in your
1:52
shower unless you have a shower that's
1:54
that like super super intense
1:56
atmospheres and that'd be really weird
1:58
so you sure you don't have that so
2:00
pretty simple straightforward elegant
2:03
watch I look at a lot of watches that
2:05
tend to be very geeky or SmartWatch or
2:07
stuff like that this is just a watch but
2:10
if you're a watch fan then
2:12
this is exactly the kind of thing you
2:13
like to get now let's talk about watch
2:16
gang
2:16
so watch gang has three tiers there's
2:19
the original tier and for 29 bucks a
2:22
month you're gonna get a watch that's
2:24
between fifty and a hundred and fifty
2:26
dollars each time and they're gonna be
2:28
from companies like 111 and Elliot have
2:30
Ock and Pulsar right jump up to the
2:33
black tier and that's what I had and
2:36
then you have watches like citizen Arman
2:39
bossy and grayton and those are supposed
2:41
to be valued between 150 and 500 dollars
2:45
and like I said this is 299 so that's
2:48
definitely in that range now if you
2:50
really want to go all out the Platinum
2:53
tier is 299 bucks a month but you're
2:56
gonna get watches between 500 and $1000
3:00
from companies like out-of-order maurice
3:02
lacroix and mercer so there's some
3:05
really nice watches here now I will say
3:09
getting a watch every single month
3:10
that's a lot of watches so unless you
3:13
change watches every single day you're
3:15
gonna be pretty overwhelmed you can of
3:17
course just sort of roll the dice and do
3:19
it for one month and see what you get
3:21
and you could also have it as maybe a
3:23
gift or something or you could sign up
3:25
for like a month and then wait six
3:28
months and then do another month do
3:29
something like that so every so often
3:31
you get a new gift and do watch in the
3:33
mail how fun is that it's really all I
3:37
have to say watch the month is really
3:39
fun go on their site they have a ton of
3:41
photos of all the different watches over
3:44
the months so my obvious question since
3:46
I only had a one month data sample is
3:48
what if next month's watches are clunker
3:51
then again what if next month's watch is
3:53
totally sweet and even better a fit for
3:56
my tastes who knows so you can check out
3:59
their site they also have a private
4:00
Facebook group for watch traders so once
4:03
you join you it looks like you can join
4:06
for a month and then you're in the group
4:07
so you can be trading watches you get a
4:10
watch if you know you got this and you
4:12
said yeah I don't like blue I wonder if
4:14
someone got it in red you might be able
4:16
to trade straight with someone else so
4:18
that's kind of fun but all in all this
4:21
is a site this is a service this is for
4:24
people that are pretty hard
4:25
watch collectors and at this point I
4:27
have about 15 watches so I seem to be
4:29
becoming a watch collector and I know
4:32
that when I opened my box and I got this
4:34
very nice black list box and opened it
4:37
up and found this watch inside I was
4:39
definitely thinking ooh that one's nice
4:42
so apparently I am the target customer
4:45
again with the holiday season's coming
4:48
up and everything in birthdays this is
4:50
also a really fun sort of way to get
4:52
someone a very fancy watch at a break in
4:55
terms of the price so little rolling of
4:57
the dice a little bit of I'm not exactly
5:00
sure what you'll get but pretty fun
5:02
nonetheless so before I tell you with
5:05
that tiniest little bit of extra data of
5:07
where you find these guys let me ask if
5:09
you can go ahead and subscribe to my
5:11

5:14
