I zipped through the video, but does he even put it on? IMO the ugliest watch that much money can buy even with the crazy movement. Can't even see the time

First I thought that was my grandma. Her clothes and everything. I'll stick to Rolex.

Google Michael Blakey... He is definitely wealthy... I don't think anyone can own 3 Jacob Astronomia's for "just show"

I like Mike and I enjoy his take on life as well as the videos. yes he is over the top. yes he is a materialistic fool. but i still find him quite charming and not offensive. his videos are interesting for the most part as well. if you actually watch them he does say he gives away a lot of his clothing to charity on a regular basis as well.

Even though Mikey is showing off in his videos he's actually not bad and genuinely good person among wealthy ones.

I agree. I like the guy. He seems like a normal guy that one can just hang with. I like watching his stuff.

I like him. He looks like he has a fun life and he is living it good for him. He doesn’t seem to be a huge Rolex fan but jacob and company yes. I like when he called Richard Mille. He said they are all hype with terrible customer service

I think the question is, surely he can afford a better rug?

He seems to be the type that might get duped into a fake. I don't get the impression he would be wearing fakes to save cash.

Watches r just toys to him, don’t even wear most of them. Just not a serious hobby. That’s all

I agree completely. I kept seeing his video screenshots on YouTube and kept rolling my eyes without clicking. I think I finally watched one when someone from here linked to it. He is completely non-offensive and quite funny. He certainly lives his life the way he wants to, and regardless of wealth, I think that attitude is something we can all aspire to.

I love this guy been watching him since the start, he’s really humble actually and quite funny with it all. He and his cameraman have a nice rapport it’s a great channel he regularly goes and sees $30m pink diamonds etc just crazy but fun!!

I like him as well - can't believe people rake him over the coals before they even get the full picture. He seems to treat the people within his company very well too. Cool watch

My husband has tuned in to some of his videos, and I've seen a few of them. I actually find him genuine in front of the camera. All of the exotic cars, expensive blingy watches, incredible house tours are just part and parcel of a man of his net worth. He doesn't come off as a braggart at all.

From what I have seen on IG when following him for a while he has great taste in cars and models to take pictures with his cars. His watch taste though, not my type.
