When Luke Combs tells a story, you can bet it’s going to have a little grit, a little humor, and a whole lot of “everyman” charm. His sit-down with Watch Ballers proved no exception, as the country superstar opened up about the first time he tried to buy a Rolex, an experience equal parts awkward and unforgettable.
The setting: New York City. Combs was set to open for another country artist at Madison Square Garden, a career-defining moment he wanted to mark with something permanent. Forget champagne or a backstage tattoo, Combs had his eyes set on a Rolex Yacht-Master II in stainless steel.
“I walked in, I knew exactly what I was looking for, I knew exactly what I wanted,” Combs recalled. “I’d never been into a nice watch store before, but I was like, hey man, I’m looking for a Yacht-Master II, stainless steel.”
That’s when the record scratched. According to Combs, the salesperson’s response was basically: You can’t just get those.
Cue the punchline. “Correct me if I’m wrong,” Combs fired back, “but we’re in the store that would f***ing sell them, right? Like, they’re not selling them at the grocery store."
The staff, apparently unconvinced by his gym shorts and sandals ensemble, played a little theater. They told Combs the watch was on hold for another customer but that they’d “call and check.” Five minutes later, they returned with miraculous news: the mystery buyer had supposedly released the watch.
Still, the “Beautiful Crazy” hitmaker walked out of the store with his dream watch and wore it that night on the Garden stage, a gleaming reminder that sometimes you have to hustle your way into the milestones that matter.
Looking back, the story is classic Luke Combs: funny, self-deprecating, and laced with a little small-town honesty dropped right in the middle of a luxury Manhattan boutique. It’s the kind of anecdote that makes fans love him even more, not just because he made it to Madison Square Garden, but because he made it there in gym shorts, chasing a Rolex like he was buying a six-pack at the corner store.
And as it turns out, that stainless steel Yacht-Master II didn’t just mark a night at Madison Square Garden. It marked the moment Luke Combs realized that even when you’ve “made it,” you might still have to sweet-talk your way into the good stuff.
