From mocking watches to getting soaked into them Joe Rogan’s journey as a watch enthusiast is amazing. In one of his podcasts, Rogan talked about how he got into watches after being gifted a Rolex from Dana White.
He said: “The UFC bought me a Rolex. I was making fun of watch people. I’m like ‘what are you getting a watch for?’. What’s wrong with you? And then as time went on, I bought a watch.” Rogan explained that with time he got into the details of watches and different varieties of them.
” I started getting into the mechanics of them. I didn’t know the difference between a quartz watch and an automatic watch…then I started realizing. Like, oh my God, there’s all these little tiny pieces. The movement of your wrist is what makes the f**** watch wind and that it stays winding forever like that.” said Rogan.
According to Rogan, his curiosity on watches increased after he invested himself in knowing the history and the craftsmanship of the watches. Once The UFC color commentator got hooked, he never backed out and now has an incredible collection of watches for himself.

Joe Rogan’s wild watch collection
Rogan has made his fortune by working with UFC for over 20 years, his Spotify podcast and many other business ventures. Joe is a millionaire and as expected has a hobby of collecting luxurious things and in his case it’s the watches. Here’s the list of some of the best watches from The comedian’s collection.
ROLEX YACHT-MASTER 40
Rogan’s first watch was a Rolex and this prompted him to get another from the same brand. Back in his earlier days, the UFC commentator could be seen wearing the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ref. 16622 which is now discontinued. It had a monochromatic and classy look which costs around $10,000 USD to $12,000 USD.
ROLEX SUBMARINER NO DATE
It seems like Rogan favors steel Rolex tool watches. Joe has been spotted wearing the Rolex Submariner, which is definitely one the most well-known Rolex of all time, in addition to the Yacht-Master. The Submariner is arguably the most recognisable watch in the whole Rolex collection. The no-date version of Rogan’s Submariner has a value about $8,950 USD.
ROLEX DEEPSEA SEA-DWELLER
Joe Rogan has also been spotted sporting the DeepSea Sea-Dweller, Rolex’s largest dive timepiece. The podcaster owns the limited-edition James Cameron model, which has a dial that transitions from blue to black at the top. On the secondary market, the Rolex DeepSea Sea-Dweller James Cameron edition is presently going for about $17,000 USD.
2020 EDITION OF OMEGA SEAMASTER 300M JAMES BOND 007
It isn’t surprising that a man like Joe Rogan is a fan of James Bond. That might be the reason for him to have the Omega Seamaster 300m James Bond 007 2020. Daniel Craig wore the same watch in his James Bond movie. It has an old-fashioned look thanks to the classic tan hands and indexes. Currently the watch is priced at $9,200 USD in retail stores.
