Marco!! You’re spot on man with everything you said! I own aquanaut 5167A and paid over double retail for it as well as a few modern Cartiers. The Aquanaut is not worth the money although I love it. It’s just that I wanted a sports watch from Patek to add to the complication and grand complications that I have as well as a Calatrava and an Ellipse and couldn’t justify the price of a Nautilus. I love rubber straps and use after market ones for all my Rolex watches cuz it makes the wearing experience much nicer, therefore I bought that Aquanaut. I never got into the rabbit hole of vintage Cartier for the exact reason you mentioned, which is the quality of their movements and water resistance that makes the watch unwearable. I got into ordering those pieces from the new catalog that is not available for most people. I find the crash a hype watch and probably one of the least appealing designs from Cartier. RM prices are not justifiable and I don’t think it’s just the RM11, it’s just all not justifiable and I’m mind boggled about why these watches cost so much regardless of the innovation and material. Growing up in the Middle East and living for over a decade in Dubai, I still never understood why these Omani Khanjar stamped on a dial or engraved on the case back should make any difference at all in the price. Well I think the same concept applies to Tiffany or Gueblin stamps too. It’s just an excuse and a hype created by grey market dealers to maximise their profit. Roger Smith is overpriced and is not worth the money. I appreciate his art but I believe he is charging too much for it. Great content! I’m a big fan. Good luck.

Great video Marco, agree on Patek aquanaut and nautilus 100%

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Nobiggiesal]

Completely agree with the 5167, coming from someone that owned it. A 3rd generation Overseas or an AP15300 is much more watch for the money. One in particular to me that I can't comprehend the secondary value is the Daytona LeMans. I've never handled one, but this piece goes for about triple retail. Great vid Marco.

[@lv293]

What made you sell it? Did you not like it overtime?

[@troisk]

The regular Daytona has the lowest supply out of the Rolex pro range, so the LM which is the rarest of Daytonas with a very limited production (the white gold 126529 was discontinued after less than a year, and the current yellow gold 126528 has only been around for less than 6 months and appears to be even more scarce), it's no surprise. And the celebration story, open caseback and revised 4132 movement all add to the hype. Completely agree with the 5167. I've tried one on and although it wears well and has amazing finishing on the movement and case as you'd expect from Patek, it still feels very underwhelming. I find it expensive for MSRP (basically the price of a pre-owned 126500...), let alone for twice MSRP. But with that said I don't think "value" is ever a valid point when it comes to luxury goods. They aren't necessities, you buy what you love at the price you can stomach. You will always find a watch with a better value proposition, all the way down to a Casio F91W.

[@Iuckylukey]

Apparently Genta hated the Aquanaut. That should tell you something.

Daytona is so well designed & feels & looks so iconic. It needs to be in the 18k range for steel.

Have to agree re: Cartier. Like there’s nothing wrong with them, but they’re so trendy it would hard for them not to be overrated. And, yeah, I don’t understand the Aquanaut secondary market prices. But I also don’t understand why grey market Daytona’s trade at roughly the same prices as VC Overseas Chronographs.

[@keltecdan]

I think the key takeaway would be to stick with the icons and classics within the brand. Cartier would be the Tank and Santos. Patek would be the Nautilus in a complication and any perpetual calendar chronograph or minute repeater. Rolex has quite a few icons but the best would be Daytona and Submariner. I could go on and on.

[@miabeatz80]

Another way of looking at the aquanaut and the Nautilus is comparing it to the sub vs gmt. The gmt is pretty much the same watch as the sub just different bezel and gmt hand yet sells almost double retail grey market with the Pepsi and batman. I look at the aquanaut like an alternative to the nautilus for folks who don't want an integrated bracelet but still want Patek prominence that's wearable everyday. That clearly comes with a cost. It's a great addition and alternative to all the dress watch only ethos that Patek have.

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

I do feel this comparison is apt although I'd say the Sub is more iconic than the GMT while the Aquanaut is not more iconic than the Nautilus. But your point is not lost on me and I don't disagree. Hope you enjoyed this 🙏

Excerpt from a watch magazine- a bit of a pushback on the anti outsourced movement view: “the aesthetics and materials of the RMCA4 are vastly different from its base - with largely skeletonised components, the usage of titanium for the bridges, and a plethora of custom components such as its variable geometry winding rotor. Nonetheless, the VMF 6710 is its foundation. So both the base and how Richard Mille ran with it, deserve huge props and offer a perfect example of how purely in-house can be overrated and how a manufacture can make a sourced design very much their own.”

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

Regardless, the base movement - no matter how modified - is still a Parmigiani movement. I have no trouble using an off the shelf movement. I do have a problem paying $150k for such a watch. Just my opinion. Personally I do not care for the "In-House" movement craze. I think it is ridiculous. Hope my point is not lost on you and hope you enjoyed this video 🙏

Another great video. I wholeheartedly agree with your analysis. The time only nautilus is insanely overpriced even at it's retail price. I basically dislike all Richard Mille watches, I think they are ugly as can be but do have some interesting technology but the 11 is really bad when a basic movement is used. I was a little shocked to hear that Roger Smith watches had reached that level of price. I am a huge fan of Roger Smith watches, the quality is as good as it gets but the last time I looked at prices, which was a couple years ago, the 3 hand watch with a date was in they $175k range. Now they are $400k+, that seems a little outrageous and also the last time I heard, they were making 12 watches a year, is it really 12 a month now? Anyway, another spot on video.

I think my numbers were inaccurate in terms of production of Roger Smith. I know he expanded his workforce and is able to make more than 1 watch per month but supposedly it is no more than 3 watches per month.

I purchase an Stainless Steel Patek Philippe Aquanaut in 1997 for £5750.00 and I've worn it twice as the watch dial looks odds to the rubber strap, and the rubber strap dries out and shrinks. Also you cannot dive in it or go swimming as its only 30 metres and its no way worth more than a 18Kt gold Calatrava. The 1976 Submariner 1680 is a far superior watch in every form and has been a daily wearer and handles everything you can throw at it. Another watch company who makes nice watches is Cartier but their after sales service is absolutely rubbish. I have over the years sent my watches to Cartier service via the AD and they have come back with more scratches on the case than it was sent. The last one was a solid silver Tank which looks like they've given it to a blind apprentice who badly scratched the case and the screws are protruding. It has been sent back to Cartier with a complaint letter as they argued that its not solid silver and plated when its quite clear that it's Sterling silver.

If your justification for thinking something is overrated is because of a personal preference like, you don’t like vintage watches, then the video has limited utility for the consumer, unless you have some justification for that position. Personally it is very rare for me to buy other than vintage. I love the personal and unique story behind each watch. I love the place it has in horological history. Its popularity or unpopularity. It’s unusual or rare design. To beat this dead horse further with examples. I got a победа watch, because it was the same model as the first watch into space, that was worn by a stray dog from Moscow on Sputnik 4, put on the dog at random by one of the ground crew. I got Universal Geneve Polerouter, because it was the first watch designed by a 23 y/o Gerald Genta before he would go on to design the Nautilus and Royal Oak among many others. I got a Cartier Ballon Bleu, because my later mother always wanted a Cartier, and joked about it but saw it as excess that would cost her children something, so she never owned anything Cartier. I see these stories and a couple dozen more when I look at my collection. Many times a watch can have multiple stories. With such an emotional feast in the vintage market, it is hard to get excited about a new color dial or complication, though that story too can become compelling under certain circumstances, but to me in general, the human drama in this play is in the vintage market Brute.

Every single Rolex is grossly overrated

[@richardmorris6365]

Great watch but certain brands just become bigger than their product. At retail I'm all in..

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

I personally disagree but I respect your opinion. Hope you enjoyed this video 🙏

[@LIONTAMER3D]

@richardmorris6365 yeah, so much bigger that the brand itself outshines the milk toast watches they're cranking out & charging a mint for =/

[@bertholdbach4959]

Rolex rides on its history and marketing more than on their products. The only Rolex I like are some Datejust models. I just dont understand what people see in those Submariners, OP, Airkings, etc... And I have seen some in real life, either on the wrist of someone or in a Boutique.

[@LIONTAMER3D]

@@bertholdbach4959 it's a fake history lol, subs were never used by navy seals, daytonas were never used by race car drivers; etc.

I own a 5167A and although I love it, I dont disagree with you. Its alot of money for a stainless watch with a rubber strap.

[@javieralborna9511]

that patek philippe with rubber straps is just horrendous! looks like a watch you get as a gift for changing your car tires to Michelin tires!
