If you think this episode is just about diamonds, think again. In this in-person conversation, Moshe—known to millions as Watch King NYC—joins me to break down one of the most misunderstood debates in luxury today: lab-grown versus natural diamonds, what actually holds value, and what buyers should really be paying attention to.But behind the expertise is a story most people don’t know. Moshe opens up about his life before the watches and the following—growing up in a deeply religious Jewish household, becoming a rabbi, and later losing everything through addiction and financial collapse. At one point, he was homeless. What followed was a complete reinvention and the creation of the empire people now see online.We talk candidly about luxury as an investment, the psychology of status, and how misinformation—especially around diamonds—can cost people far more than money. This conversation blends hard-earned personal experience with real-world expertise, offering both clarity and perspective for anyone thinking about buying a watch, a diamond, or redefining success altogether.In this episode, we discuss: • Lab-grown vs. natural diamonds: what actually matters when buying • Common misconceptions about diamond value and resale • Whether luxury watches are truly an investment • Moshe’s journey from rabbi to rock bottom to rebuilding an empire • What people misunderstand about wealth, status, and reinventionGuest:Moshe, aka Watch King NYCInstagram: @watchkingnycIf you’re considering an engagement ring, a luxury purchase, or simply questioning what real value looks like, this episode delivers insight you won’t get from a showroom—or an Instagram feed.--- --- —VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!ROGERS HOOD APOTHECARYGo to rogershood.com and use code RACHEL at checkout for 10% OFF--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
