@WatcheswithDennis6 күн бұрын
Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't sure how long the video would go so I capped the submissions at three watches (both to keep my own editing time to a level around what I'd usually do plus some people don't like really long videos on KZbin). It did go faster than I expected so I could see maybe going to six and keeping it within reason. I'm not quite sure on the best way to execute rating a collection with brutal honesty. With a roast the "victim" goes in understanding they are going to have their stuff raked over the coals. People might get more sensitive if I were to objectively judge things they spent money on. It could work but it depends on a few factors.

Unlocked a new talent! Bulova is the worse and it is not close. Let's just thank the stars that @Nefville doesn't have only a 3-watch collection. Next step for Watches w/ Dennis is clear -- paid watch collection reviews. People pay you to review their collections and give tips. Only way it works is if you roast.
@WatcheswithDennis6 күн бұрын
Not sure I want to go down an explicitly paid route. Full-on reviews is a different animal for a few reasons. With a roast everyone understands the assignment (destruction of all one hold's dear). I'll see if more 99¢ Club members are interested in this, and if so I may reassess after a few more to see what changes might make sense.

I had a PanoMaticLunar at one point. It was my only moonphase. Nice watch but I was getting another watch with a similar dial layout and didn't think I would wear both so I let it go. But I have been tempted to get back into GO with a non-Pano that might see more wrist time.

Are you getting some hate from the Invicta crowd? I imagine they are more rabid than the Moonwatch faithful.
@WatcheswithDennis7 күн бұрын
No, but I almost never talk about Invicta. Fanboy blowback usually comes in two forms for me, microbrand fans (rarely about microbrands themselves, but if I'm hard on one of their darling models I'll hear about it) and non-Rolex luxury (Omega is the primary but it can extend to JLC and others). The latter is more common but usually just revolves around if I say there is a Rolex I like. I'm not so surprised about this as there is a lot of anti-Rolex ideology within watch collecting.

The G-Shock screens are mineral glass (most of the time) so it isn't as scratch proof as sapphire but it resists better than the plexiglass covers. Mine has done pretty well the case takes most of the impact. I think my straps have shown the most damage. The squares sit reasonably low on the wrist (I think the round ones are thicker but I haven't had one).

I can only speak for myself, I've backed out of the luxury space quite a bit. I find I get basically the same amount of enjoyment from _affordable_ watches (for me $350-$1500) as I did from luxury watches. Actually started doing that right after covid, didn't seem prudent to keep buying luxury watches at the time. Am I saving up for a Bathyscape/ gold dress watch and have put a 50% deposit down on an independent? Sure why not, but its the thought that counts. I have dialed it back quite a bit.

I have a sudden urge to buy that blue Pelagos. I think CEOs have to balance profit, price, prestige/reputation, shareholders, customers buying experience etc. The good ones will navigate the murky waters of post pandemic world economy and come out on top. Others will swim too far upstream and suffer. If my brand was selling at a significant discount on the used market I'd be worried. What brand currently has the worst drop in value when you 'open the new box'?
@WatcheswithDennis10 күн бұрын
I am not sure, might be tricky to measure since it often is a question of particular models. Grand Seiko and Glashutte Original tend to drop a lot. A lot of the Vacheron dress watches see a significant decrease. Almost every Tudor drops but not all by huge amounts. GO might be the big one.

A good point. Many older models have not spiked with the brands' current price increases. That is an interesting thing to explore because I think a lot of collectors become uncomfortable/uneasy when it comes to buying used. I think a combination of fear of fakes and Frankenwatches.
