Is Kevin the taller person who looks like my great aunt Minne?

F**K Kevin O'Leary.

As a Canadian, we don't claim him as one of ours.

He also thought FTX was an incredible product. Shows what he knows.

Wouldn't take his watch advice, either. And his red straps look ridiculous.

I wonder if he’s still defending SBF. Kevin just can’t accept the fact that SBF is a crook and not some genius businessman.

Having a lot of money doesn’t mean you have interesting opinions about anything… you can be rich and you still can be ignorant on this or that topic; as well, one can know everything about something he couldn’t afford in his entire life.
The problem is, internet gives the right to talk to anyone, poor and rich, with or without knowledge.

Good! It would have been embarrassing if that "Mr Wonderful" had worn a Omega.

Omega is the brand that you can wear without the shame of being a douche. Those two just look at the price of a watch and that`s it, they have some seriously ugly, but Instagram worthy watches.

I always think of that guy from that video of him crying over a so-called 1-on-1 limited edition AP made for him… the watch is just horrible
Would take an Omega over it anytime. You cannot buy taste.

One of the best videos was when Kevin was interviewing FP Journe's brother. The brother was going on about how he wants watches to go to true collectors and appreciate the watches as pieces of art. Kevin chimes in on how these are such a great investment pieces and how they'll be worth a fortune when FPJ dies while the brother was standing right next to him with a wtf look.

Heh. That reminded me of the South Park bit where the Canadians say that they've already apologized for Bryan Adams.

And having said that, I'm going to see if I can find my copy of Reckless to cue up.....

A prime example of class - O'Leary style...

Kevin is formostly a showman that's why he holds Rolex in high esteem. He is all about inflating everything though marketing.

On another vain his investment advice is terrible.

Who cares what anyone says about which watch brand is better than another? Buy what you like whether it's a Timex or a Richard Mille, it's your own money so do your research and buy what you like. I NEVER could understand why people rely on celebrity endorsements to justify a purchase, they are just paid hucksters. We are supposed to be somewhat sophisticated watch collectors here and we seem to be all wound up because this guy hurt some feelings by calling Omega an 'entry level' brand. Ignore these 'experts'.

Agreed. When your feelings are hurt by someone saying “your watch doesn’t cost enough” it might be time to self-reflect…

Kevin is a bit of a chopper but producer "ice out my rolex" Michael can properly do one.

Having said that I did quite enjoy the videos Kevin and Teddy Baldassore did together. They have a certain watchable chemistry together.

Will probably regret admitting to that...

I think it's less about hurt feelings, and more astonishment (or maybe lack of depending on your knowledge of Kevin) at his sheer stupidity. A brand that makes chiming chronographs, has made tourbillons, etc. is hardly entry level to anyone with any real horological knowledge.

Kevin is all about hype and investment...nothing else.
