9 Watches I Would Buy (If I Could) | TheWatchGuys.tv

A new Harrys Garage video and a new WatchGuy video within 1 minute of each other. Gotta love Sunday evenings :)

[@TuRo-Maserati]

Still collecting/doing vids Damien The Rolex new mkt just like Porsche mkt, dropping like a stone.....and going back towards list. Thankfully new ones are not of interest to me. The vintage Rolex/Tudor mkt has just had a 15/20% correction which is fine given 100% rise from 2017-2022.

[@terryfenner8142]

Great episode Damian, all fantastic choices … the standout for me was the VC 222, that thing is drop dead gorgeous.. Myself, I’m trying to get back into my world of vintage seiko .. lots of watches I want to experience and learn about ..👍

[@vdbdg]

If I had the one that’s on your wrist, none of those would interest me in the slightest. Rise above mate, dream bigger.

[@valebliz]

Agreed, and without that diamond bezel it would be even truer.

[@reganharle8474]

That’s some list….. With my budget I’d struggle to get a studio underdog 😫👍🏻

[@stevehs4287]

Omega now hold the crown ( pardon the pun) of having the highest depth rating with the Ultradeep. The Deepsea is now rather obsolete against the cheaper , more wearable and imo better looking Omega.

[@AM-hk3uw]

Excellent video. The 222 - I just picked up mine from the AD Boutique last week. As they say one of not many. Not limited edition, but VC make so few watches, its just limited full stop. If you think it looks good online , wait til you see it for real. It is seriously great watch. They are all excellent choices by you.

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

You lucky bugger!

[@TheBiggerrich]

The Patek is undeniably stunning but I’m nursing a semi for IWC right now! That font makes me think of WW2 fighter plane dials!

[@alaththar819]

1. PP Calatrava 5217 2. Rolex Turn O Graph 3. Citizen promaster Ray Mears Yellowstone edition. 4. Grand Seiko White Birch. 5. Casio DBC-80 Dinozone.

[@kenvance259]

One thing you mentioned in your recent Ferrari video was the link that some people have between sports cars/performance cars and mechanical watches. I don't know if it has already been done, but a video on your watch channel about this subject may be interesting. My brother likes Ferraris and Porsches, while I tend to favour old school American muscle, but we both also like mechanical watches.

[@SorexSan]

Untouchable .... only one word. Magnificent episode. Congratulations ! RESPECT !!!

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you for the upload 👏

[@NeoWahNah]

Haha! Not sure why this vid showed up as a suggestion but I had to stop watching when the Deep Sea Challenge came up on your list. HAHA! Come on! Haha

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Watch the rest of it!

[@marcusprime357]

Patek Philippe is sing my song! Good show man! Keep them coming. That 222 though 😍 👌

[@tomcraig8027]

Some good choices however the Rolex deep sea is the horological ash tray on a motor cycle, no practical use to man or beast. All the same if you get one make sure you get the sleeves on your sweater stretched a foot wider for the wrist roll. 😂

[@mark10601]

Fab selection. I’d add a Moser and a Lange too..

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

I almost put the Moser in

[@watch_girl_life]

I’m a girl and I love blue watches as well 😊

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Huzzah!

[@nickorette]

222 is in the top 3 of my collection, it's brushed finish, thin profile and restrained proportions lend it to a much more classy aesthetic, in contrast to the majority of gold sport luxury timepieces. VC knocked it out of the park on this one

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Awesome to hear - congratulations, Nick

[@rossmacdonald6089]

The blue ceramic Audemar Piguet and the Vacheron 222 would be my choices for 2022. My wishlist (and more in my price range) is the Christopher Ward Bel Canto... an unexpected surprise.

[@TheRausing1]

Wait, do you own that 5271p? That is so insane… the best watch mentioned in this video imo!

[@NicholasSadlier]

Father Patek Christmas 🤣 Sounds about as realistic as the Santa I spotted sitting in his shopping centre grotto today...😅

for me if a have money 1. Beater watch: Tudor pelagos 2. Dress watch : A Lange 1 3. chronograph: Gronefele gronograf 1941 4. grand complication watch: F.P Journe grand sonerie

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Great list!

[@atreidis3946]

If I could choose one of these pieces, I´d go for the 222 from Vacheron.

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

It’s a beauty

[@metrof100]

Any Lange Zeitwerk! Or Odysseus!

[@HazukiKyouko]

That deep sea rolex is out of this world might need to grab the ski mask next time. Lol joking.

[@samelassar]

The Rolex is horrific though 😂 can’t see that one having a long waiting list

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

You’d be surprised

[@MAXREVS]

I just took delivery of a Casio Oceanus OCW-T200. If you have never heard of this brand I suggest a quick look, might need a VPN on your computer as it’s Japan only. Tudor is the cheaper Rolex. imho Casio Oceanus is the cheaper Grand Seiko of sorts. Never have to adjust the time, date or use a watch winder ever again ;-)

[@chrisconnolly5173]

Would love to see how you store your whole collection Damien. Maybe a collection update video soon?

You can sell all your watches to get your dream watches, me having the casio edifice ecb 800db is enough for me. I used to chop and change my watches within my collection but realised what I wanted and liked and stuck with that, for me I would like a IWC big pilot or a tudor black bay 58.

[@Quebicrecords]

I’ve a Rolex on order for 2 years and recently told to forget about it, instead the dealer offered me a Girard perregaux skeleton, around 66k price, are these watches an investable item equal to a Rolex ?

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Most definitely not, I’m afraid

[@watches6340]

Great review as usual, i like you am tempted by the huge Deepsea, but it would have to be an ornament as i don’t have a 10” wrist 😂

[@bobmclennan1727]

Count me in among those who "get" Studio Underd0g, but as your typical "watch guy on a budget," I'm content to admire all of their funky designs from afar until one comes along that really grabs me. The eggplant came close, so of course that one was a limited edition and I wasn't quick enough. Maybe something next year will be equally up my alley.

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Hopefully

[@TheRausing1]

I’m so curious about how you buy your watches. Do you have one AD you have a relationship with? I buy all mine from Pragnell in London and have a good relationship, but they don’t sell AP or Vacheron. It’s so tough to try and convince a new dealer to give you a chance when they don’t know you. I can show them my instagram and that I own over half a million pounds worth of watches but they still won’t give me the time of day, especially given my age (26). I’m also curious what job you do/did to be able to afford all your watches? Thanks.

[@MM-xm7fr]

IWC Lake Tahoe is not limited edition.. is limited production for 1000pcs/year.... we have a decent chance to get one :-)

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Yes!

[@thatmexicanguy2989]

The Rolex is not the deepest watch in the world, it’s the omega ultra deep but it wasn’t made in production in the maximum depth because it was huge… rolex doesn’t care about that and just want people to think it’s the record holder lol

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Actually Rolex = deeper .

Truly hope you get the gold PP you deserve it. Magnificent is a reasonable choice of words for it the other pp 5711 whatever is on the ' just another 5711' list God knows why PP have gone all Don King and defaced their own product by putting girly pretty pretty stones on everything. Why not buy a nice watch and a nice sparkly bracelet if that's your bag. Combining both ruins both IMHO 🤦 but as usual a beautifully put together video Finally on a small point of order, I really wish manufacturers would put out real world pictures not these heavily stylised photoshopped renditions of them. I realise I'm highly unlikely to ever see most of the high ends stuff in the real world so a proper picture would help get a true idea of what it actually looks like 👍

[@caleb9231]

Never understood the concept of customers serving the dealers rather than the other way around.

[@yvesolution181]

Can you do an episode about the Snoopy? I would like to hear what had happened. Maybe if more people speak about their policy something changes? (I hope, I'm on the list since 2 years)

Message to Rolex - you should lower all the Deep Sea Challenge watches to the bottom of the trench and record it - before selling them. Probably wouldn't be that expensive and would be an incredible marketing initiative. Owners could buy their watch knowing that it had been to the deepest part o the ocean - and have a video record of the Journey

have you ever thought of trying a group purchase. e.g. approach an AD and say, HI, I have 4-7 people who want this this and this .......... can you make it happen? it would help those of us who save for a couple of years, are ready to by a new Sub, but have the purchasing power of a small ant. and we get to piggy back your AD relationship thoughts?

[@AZAHAZA]

I really enjoy watching channels on the buy side - I.e watch collectors who showcase their collections - it gives an insight into their character - There are far too many channels on the sell side with the attendant criminality and money laundering which covers most of the grey market dealers - In addition you also have big mouths like bark and vomit and jenni elles gibberish who also endorse the grey market dealers . So much prefer this channel - interestingly why does KZbin algorithm pump Roman sharf shyster - when I never bother watching him and not buy side watch collector channels like you !!

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

It is interesting. I never realised how many of the KZbinrs are actually watch dealers (particularly in the US), which is how they can get hold of so many watches. I do like Jenni Elle's enthusiasm though.
