Joe Rogan and Elon Musk have appeared together on multiple episodes of Joe Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Their conversations have covered a wide range of topics, including technology, artificial intelligence, Tesla, SpaceX, flamethrowers, tunneling, and even some personal anecdotes from Elon Musk.
These episodes have been highly popular and generated significant attention due to Elon Musk’s status as the CEO of SpaceX and X. During one such interaction, Rogan explained to Musk how his Rolex watch automatically became a few minutes faster.
He said, “I have a Rolex that my friend Lorenzo gave me and I brought it to the watch store, and these things always fast. It’s always like after a couple of months, it’s like five minutes fast and they go ‘yup’. It’s just what it does….they can’t (recalibrated), they tired…you need to f**** kickdown the door of Rolex and go ‘You but**** are lazy’.”
Rogan revealed that he took his Rolex to the shop in order to talk about the problem but it was futile. As Elon Musk mentioned that Rolex should work on recalibrating them, Rogan hilariously asked Musk to go there and tell them about the problem.
It’s common for mechanical watches to gain or lose a few seconds each day. This slight variation in timekeeping is a characteristic of mechanical movements. Several factors contribute to this daily gain or loss in accuracy, including the precision of the movement, temperature changes, positional variations, and the watch’s age and condition.
Exploring Joe Rogan’s impressive Rolex timepiece collection

Rolex Yacht-Master 40

Rolex Submariner No Date
Joe Rogan has been spotted wearing what could be considered one of Rolex’s most famous watches, the Rolex Submariner—no date version—which is often regarded as the most iconic watch in the Rolex lineup.
Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller
Joe Rogan was once captured wearing a special edition Rolex Submariner, known as the James Cameron version, which has a distinctive dial gradient transitioning from blue at the top to black at the bottom.
Rolex Daytona
Joe Rogan has a Rolex Daytona Ref. 116509 in white gold, a watch that has been discontinued but is known for its distinctive appearance. Unlike the usual stick markers, this model features numerals on the dial. The dark gray dial with red subdials and chronograph hands gives the watch a genuine sporty and racing-inspired vibe.
