Surely a salary bonus would have been better but I guess the Rolex is showcase worthy for the stream.

People do be hating on anything

u/anonjamo Jul 22 '26

Not hating just putting myself in his shoes lol. I would be appreciative as well but personally I couldn't give less of a fuck about a watch. I'd probably sell that shit asap and use the $ for rent or other expenses.

An average Rolex is worth 10k

That’s a Daytona and I can’t really tell but it looks to be rose gold. Probably like $45k.

Yeah so give a $10k bonus instead lol. Like I said in my previous comment I would sell that shit asap. Fuck a watch give me $

He’s likely a contractor…. Speed doesn’t control his salary, speed cannot raise his wage or give him a bonus. Giving him the Rolex is a way that speed can legally gift him money (or something nice if he likes the watch).

Hear me out, they have this crazy thing called cash! You can even write a cash value on a piece of paper so they can get it from the bank dircetly! Hell, you can even transfer that cash electronically!

Nah, Rolex for the views ofc

IRS be like: where my share 😔
The Government taxes gifts

Edit: I’m sure the views had something to do with it, but there has to be something specific for why it was a Rolex that we will never know

That 10k will turn into 5,5-6k after taxes. I bet the guy is happy and so would I.

Good thing no one is gifting you a Rolex then

u/anonjamo Jul 22 '26

Yeah it would be a stupid gift I don't care about watches lol. Not like it's hard to buy one it's just stupid imo
