This guy is the epitome of slippery slimy grey market dealer. Hopefully finds a real job, in a call centre or something now that the market is in turmoil

The cases aren't made by machine?

I like the look of the Daytona but the chrono complication just doesn't sit well with me. I have no use for it.

Worst advice I’ve ever heard my whole life. Comparison to gold🤣 watches and gold are both bad investments. Investmentwise buy stocks, SP 500!!!

File under Things You Will Never Say About Your Chinese Watch

ihave an Ap with the Numbers C32

Pure gold has a Mohs hardness of around 2.5, which is considered soft, while platinum has a Mohs hardness of about 3.5-4.5. Platinum is harder because it is denser and more durable than gold, which is naturally a soft metal. However, I did not understand your statement that platinum was considered softer than gold. Additionally, gold is usually alloyed with copper because, in its pure form, it is too soft to be used for watch cases. Only 14 carat gold is more harder than Platinum. 14 karat gold is a gold alloy that's 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% other metals, such as copper, silver, nickel, zinc, palladium, or platinum. The "14" refers to the number of parts gold out of 24, or karats.

These are sh!tters. Plain and simple. Shame on you.

how is the market now ?

I wanna swap a few of my collection for this one.

What would be the margin for the dealer if I get new watches from the manufacturer? Like if I have a distributor agreement and sell that one brand exclusively?

Yesterdays price is not todays price

Put that money in S&P 500. If you want to invest no watch will give you a return on your investment better than actual investment.

I see the pain in his eyes

ROLEX OCTOPUS WHO HAS A STAINLESS BAND WITH STONE S?

MASTER p brother

If you sit on any current Rolex Sports model for long enough, a minimum of ten years, maybe longer, and the watch will have increased in value, thats guaranteed. There are not many prestige watches you can say that about. So YES Rolex watches retain their value well over the long term

If you buy ANYTHING today and try to sell it just a few months later, that's stupid.

Nice advice. As you say, not an investment but still an asset. For me, I love NEO-vintage. 1990 to about 2010. And yes, they are in a similar fashion to current production watches and yet, they tend to hold their value better. They are also more iconic IMHO. I love the GP laureato 8010 and the a laureato-olimpico 8017 for example. Mechanical and 36 mm and 40 mm respectively. My next go to choice for the GP laureato is the laureato 81000 at 41 mm which was a Basel novelty to start Gen 5. Best wishes from Singapore. 🤝

Well exactly, the point is, my black dial sub date has in 7 years gone up by 30% in retail price, meaning if I wanted to sell my watch used, I can do so with a small profit, compared to what I paid, because it still saves the buyer, at least 20% vs new, so that’s why a Rolex holds its value, even increase it. That said, with the new much higher unit production, this might change. It becoming easier to buy a Rolex at the AD, impacts on resale prices, mind you, not everybody can keep up their savings, with the fast rising Rolex prices, so there will always be some, buying 2nd hand, to ever be able to become a Rolex owner. Now 7 years later, my latest date just cost me the same as my black sub date and in 3 years time, when I might be wanting a perpetual, that will cost me the same, hence why I doubt I will buy any more Rolexes. The quality doesn’t made the fast growing prices anymore.

If you buy at list price for most models YES, in grey market you loose money (if you correct with inflation and interest lost)

Used watch dealers are worse than used car dealers if you ask, there is a lot of this going on (polished watches being sold as ‘unworn’). I would rather buy a used watch with scratches on it myself, I don’t think I’d ever polish a watch of my own or certainly not in the first 10 years of ownership. These watches are passing hands all the time and getting polished repeatedly in the first few years of their existence.

Reneging, nothing worse than it. You could easily spend an hour of your time showing your product and negotiating a fair price for both buyer and seller. Shake hands then hear I’ll get back to you tomorrow. Bye Bye to the customer. Waste of your time.

You making this vid in a Pub?

How do you feel about your mate Thorpe ?

Hi David, i hope you and all your family & friends are all keeping healthy & you are all having a positive, joyful, happy abundant year so far, another genuine, honest video i always enjoy watching listening & Leaning keep up all the positive hard work & content wishing you a positive productive new week filled with joy happiness kindness love & gratitude for everything we receive each day 🙏 best wishes

Looking to buy my first rolex, would you advise buying without a box and papers even though the watch has been checked for authenticity?

I Always say that public perception drives and denotes the worth and value of all things. Your talking about 24,5 here for one of the most beautiful treasures in all of watchdom… By All rights I feel it should be a 200K jewel but people nowadays would put a rare Daytona or far less well made Patek far over this price wise. To those who know and appreciate go the finer things in life. In this case the value completely eclipses the price. Thank You David for showing this beautiful timepiece the Reverence that it commands. It would be the prize in my collection if I owned it✨👍✨

Enjoyable video David good to see different watchs

Hi David If Rolex are pulling out of F1 and watch prices are falling, do you believe now? They will start to restrict the flow again to keep the hype going to try and keep the exclusivity in the value of them high

That bluish glair on the cyclops normally indicates that it’s a Replica due to the Glue the Replicas don’t get right . That Watch might just be a superclone

Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!AMZWATCH watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.

AMZWATCH 's watch really surprises me！

It’s not hating to disagree with you mate. Here’s the thing, your advice is great for flippers and dealers, but if I took your advice, I’d have a watch I don’t like on my wrist. When I purchase a watch man, I could give a flying flux about value retention cuz I’m not looking to make money with watches. I don’t sell my watches because It was love at first sight. The average owner is not sweating the value because if they’re willing to spend 10k on an OP, they’re probably making a pretty good living. Not everybody wants a 60k+ watch. Horrible advice lol, but I understand, you’re a flipper and you probably have said watches that you need to unload. Watches are HORRIBLE INVESTMENTS IN EVERY WAY….

Someone is trying to get rid of some crap...literal crap...and is using the word Rolex in the title to get eyes on his crap. Try harder next time dude.

Shitter

Yuck. 🤢 shitters are never good value for your money. Stick to Rolex lol

What?

Would you buy these watches for yourself ? Do you have these kind of watches in your collection ?

Bro i will sell gari is it real rolex

What unknown brand is this?

Very nice and unique watches! Love it!

Duh! ! Rolexes are the BMW of watches. Everyone with a bit of money and zero personality has one.

Love that roger dubuis and arnold.

They look interesting but a percentage off retail means nothing as the retail is set by the maker....... If I make something and say the retail is £100k that is just a figure I've made up!!!! So then 90% looks amazing but it means nothing

This clown is a feckwit.

Investment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣big lie

These watches look stunning. It’s only for the rich or famous who do not look at depreciation.

Is this guy for real? Good luck to anyone buying this crap to even try and sell it at the price they bought it. He bought them for pennies on the dollar which is what they are really worth. 😂

Wonderful watches, and very interesting points about where real value lies. Great video - more please.
