They were all considerably older than me.

And it's funny, I reread the story to kind of prepare for this interview.

And now since then, I've bought more modern Rolexes than I have vintage.

And the world is just a different place.

But

Once you see everything that Rolex does to a watch, and what I mean by that is the fact that they have their own foundry, even the steel, not just the gold and precious metals, even the steel on a Rolex is proprietary and it's made by Rolex.

It's 904L.

It's wild.

They make their own gold.

It's called Everose if it's Rose Gold.

It's just remarkable.

And what I think is even more telling of what Rolex is about is that one of their facilities, they actually have, and I mean this literally, more than two Nobel Prize winning scientists on staff.

Working on watches.

Think about what that must mean from a material science perspective.

The innovation done by Rolex is just above and beyond anything I've seen.

I've been to every watchmaker in the world.

I've been to several car manufacturers doing this.

I've been all over.

I've been inside Hermes.

There's just nothing like this.
