Some good pieces including a Speedy. He's certainly not very knowledgeable about them, but seems to enjoy them.

He's had several close-ups of watches in movies, including one of a Bulgari in Iron Man.

GQ's characterization of the collection as "epic" made me laugh a little. Certainly some nice modern pcs, but epic is a bit of hyperbole.

I like RDJR, but his attitude about his collection was a little flippant.

He seems to be kind of a dick. Certainly doesn't appreciate his watches.

I just lost a little bit of respect for RDJ... Seems he only has an affinity for the Jaeger and the Patek. Anyone claiming to be Ironman should own an Ed White...

He's got so much money he just tosses the watches around, amazing. Meanwhile I where long sleeves in the summer just to keep my crystal from getting scratched while sitting at my desk at work, lol.

Setting aside the watches, the guy is certainly multi-talented. For those who haven't heard him sing:

If you know about his personal history, you'd know his attitude about life in general is flippant.

Sounds like he went to Robert Palmer singing school.

He's not a watch guy, and that's easy by the way he had to look to see what each was before talking about it.

Would love to see all the ones he pawned for drugs over the years...😗

"There's a lot of shame in this watch. But I got it for a song." Hahaha

I was thinking the same thing....




Speedmaster logo is wrong, Omega Logo is wrong, and chrono minutes looks wonky. Hashmarks are wonky on outer ring at the 5 minute markers are off... Lowercase "P" in professional... I think we have at a minimum a fake dial here.

He gets them from movie sets. Are they allowed to have fakes? I need to take a closer look at his Jaeger 😒
