Buying a £30,000 Patek Philippe

[@billiehaycraft3192]

The idea to put the phone recordings with the ad’s was brilliant.

[@PearlX9]

I found the friendliest and best watch reviewer. Truly honest and accurate

[@dwbush777]

I loved this video! I actually felt as if I was on that journey with you to buy your jacket, pick your watch up, to have Nutella cake, walk in the Park, and travel home. I felt a level of excitement for you while it was being unboxed, and while you were showing it from every angle toward the end of the video. What an absolutely incredible time-piece and engineered piece of machinery it is.

[@clamantJTV]

Yo seriously hands down one of the best videos to see how things are on the current luxury watch market, absolutely great video can’t wait for your next video!

[@forr34]

@nunchaku101 no connection whatsoever to the video, what's your point ?

[@doggdoggy]

my whole life i thought that the only thing keeping me from buying a 26k watch was the 26k, its never that easy i suppose

[@kryptoniteee]

Natan lol this comment right here is so true. So even if I saved the money I still couldn’t buy it, I guess this is the difference between old money and new money.

So true man... Same with luxury cars.. You need to comfortably have money to buy it twice or thrice over to actually buy it once!

[@amertipura7773]

Akhil k I think he means that they literally wouldn’t sell it to him, you have to be one of their best clients in order for them to sell you an aquanaut or nautilus for retail. He paid 26k for it but I’m pretty sure it’s worth 50-60 on the secondary markets.

[@CTcuttinUp]

Omg this video gets my blood flowing! I’m 27 years old, I have done nothing with my life worth wild, I didint know what life had in store for me, I didint know what I was going to be when I grew up, I worked carpentry, construction, all types of hands on labor, you name it. I felt no sense of direction. I always had a very Keene attraction for watches and timepieces, but just as of the last few months on lockdown, I have really found my calling and learned what my passionate life career will be! I plan on starting off as just a hobby and side income, but at the same time I’m going to treat it like a professional business. This time next year I want to have a up and running online watch salesman business! And one day I will have brick and mortar! I love the thought of this, and to be able track down and find the real tuff pieces that costumers are trying to get! Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻

I always wondered what he did for a living. I being a Jordanian royal as busy as being a British Royal? Must they attend many events? Are they absolute monarchs and really busy like Monaco or Lichtenstein? I hope it is one of those two, not lazy creeps like Gulf royals. That said, if any gulf royal needs some financial advice I am currently looking for work.

@ that's Marketing at its finest. Limiting the Supply so that the demand exceeds the supply is why they can justify asking so much for the watch. They charge people to feel exclusive.

[@aejonsnow]

Jeffrey Phamigo I see many people work hard and try to work smart,but they never get the fortune to get those luxury items,that’s why some people have to believe in destiny,and not everyone can get the Patek

You think life is beautiful because of things like luxury watches?

[@kimpembe3280]

Zuben42 he means luxury life. I think he’s right though

[@possessedslig]

The problem is there's a real paradox there, the people who work hard and smart to get rich don't drop £26,000 on a watch. I think you have to be a special type of delusional obsessive (as all us watch fiends are) to justify that

Thank you for sharing, not only your experience with the watch, but your walk through the streets of London. I haven't been to London in a little while, but I loved my time there and really miss it. Coming from where I live in New York, London seems so modern yet so historic at the same time. A cosmopolitan city with a historic legacy...quite a lovely city!

Very true video about waitlists - I had a very similar experience here in the NE USA. My to-be-wife wanted to get me a similar watch for our wedding and had to call ADs from multiple locations. She even tried some London stores. We ultimately found the piece in ATL after 5 months. Great video btw - agreed with other viewers to keep these kind of videos coming. Thanks for the great content.

You have a truly fantastic collection, thank you for sharing it. The latest addition is a beauty!

[@thatguygreg]

The only negative I could possibly add is that your collection tends to only have the best of the best, or what everyone else says is the best. Everything there is something others want and that is great (I want all of them don't get me wrong) but it would be good to see something that's a little more unique and quirky - something that speaks to your personal style and not only wait listed watches. Maybe an A. Lange & Söhne or Breguet. Doesn;t even have to be something that expensive, even a Nomos, Junghans, or Sinn.

[@jason420jv1]

Your very lucky to have money so you can buy these gorgeous horological masterpieces. But I know you probably weren't born with a silver 🥄 and that you most likely got to where you are through hard work & intelligent decisions with your 💰. Whatever the case I'm glad you have the money to buy these watches and the thoughtfulness to make these amazing videos so us poor folk can see what it's like to live on the other side. Your macro shots make me feel like the watch is right in front of me. Sometimes I pause the clip and hold the phone over my wrist so I can imagine what it would look like on me. You also have an amazing voice for narrating these wonderful videos. You are the Morgan Freeman of horology narration and I appreciate your talent , hard work & content on this wonderful watch channel (the best watch channel on KZbin!).

Hi Jason, first of all thank you for your comment, I usually don’t like to share my personal life but in this instance I feel I need to, maybe it will inspire you and make you reach your goals.. you are right I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, my first job was after graduating high school (within 2 months), I was doing my engineering degree whilst working after college hours, from the age of 18 and stopped allowing my parents to spend on me. I Didn’t buy my first luxury watch until the age 29, it’s the passion that kept and still keeps me going and working extra hard to be where I am today and it’s comments like yours that keep me going.. find out what passion you have in life and pursue it that’s how you will succeed and make yourself and everyone around you happy.

I think it’s the little boy in us all, we are amazed by all the cogs and wheels and mechanisms in a beautiful hand made Swiss watch. Sure a car is the same sort of mechanical idea, but you can’t see the engine running like you can a watch, depending on it’s style, plus you can wear a watch all the time anywhere. I’d love to have a Dark Side Of The Moon, Omega is my favourite brand, but alas I don’t have the money. I have an old Omega solid gold automatic watch passed onto to me from my father, it was his wedding present from my mother, it doesn’t work though and needs really needs an overhaul, I may get it done one day.
