Hey gang,
Thought this interview with John Mayer was interesting listening to his view on watch collecting. Hope you enjoy.

Very cool thanks for sharing

I can almost bet my life that John Mayer is a Rolex Forum Member for sure!!! He just knows too much not to be!!!

DC Engineer · 1 October 2013, 12:52 PM

Great vid, thanks for sharing... love his take on the GMTIIc.

Jake B · 1 October 2013, 12:53 PM

Nice....John really "gets it", for sure. My ex used to think I was a weirdo because I was always getting up close to examine pictures of John Mayer in her magazines, not knowing that I was trying to figure out what watches he was wearing. I didn't realise that she'd noticed until one day she asked me "You got a stiffy for John Mayer or something?"

Piloto · 1 October 2013, 12:58 PM

Multiple posts over the last few days... Cool vid though.

Never knew that mayer was a watch enthusiast...very cool...love his music too

adsusanto · 1 October 2013, 04:03 PM

Does anyone realize John is making at least 7 figures in a year?? he has deep enough pockets to collect even the most rare item in the world???

robisan · 1 October 2013, 04:07 PM

Nice music, nice watches and he has nice collection of women too.

Degas · 1 October 2013, 04:29 PM

I remember a recent thread about the BLNR in which someone said I won't buy a BLNR because John Mayer has one and this is why it's not a "serious" watch... Well, he has a Patek too !

Doug T · 1 October 2013, 09:57 PM

He sometimes gets portrayed as something of a flake in the media and by stand-up comics, but he sure seems to get it when it comes to our thing.

aaron123 · 2 October 2013, 06:22 AM

Adam Levine from Maroon 5 is also a pretty avid collector. He has at least an old sub and vintage Daytona I have seen him wear while performing.

metallic · 2 October 2013, 06:29 AM

Loved the video.

Soflobusinessman · 2 October 2013, 07:42 AM

If I had their money, I would have every model that rolex has ever made, one of each metal, dial combo, you know to make sure every outfit has a complimenting timepiece to go with it.

he makes a hell of a lot more $$ than that.

c.rod · 2 October 2013, 08:17 AM

also, for those guys. "expensive " watches arent until they get up around 500k-1mil most likely.. even then its a drop in the bucket

lamnyc · 2 October 2013, 11:32 AM

Nice.

bradiowausa · 2 October 2013, 11:44 AM

He really knows his watches, real WIS

He's one of us I'm sure. I'll bet there are a few celebrities on here. I'm glad they're anonymous though. Makes it easier to chat.
