Buying Expensive Watches On Finance ? My Opinion On Kurono Tokyo and Furlan Marri ?

[@eg1113]

I just received a Kurono Grand Mori with the green Urushi dial. It is, in my opinion, a grave disservice to anyone watching this video to say that Kurono watches ..."are pretty low quality". At least in the case of the watch I own, the dial and case finishing are as good as anything around, and clearly demonstrate that there is plenty of hand labor involved.

[@1hotrod]

I am also hurt, by Federico's words. I love Kurono Tokyo, and I'm glad they are trying to combat the flippers. It does hurt the value, but also gives anyone a chance to purchase one.

[@stevel4439]

The Urushi dials on the Kurono Tokyo watches are really well done. On par with Anordain dials in my humble opinion

[@timchan334]

I said the same thing about Kurono until I owned one….wow its something else!

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Fed, it is a small small world -- I just bought the same H. Moser model you are wearing last week, but with the red fume dial. Mine came with a black rubber strap from the AD. I love the look and feel and am so happy to add my first H. Moser to my collection since they only make 1500 watches/year!

[@sdstreiker]

Love the orange rubber strap Fed. You are looking great.

Most high end jewellery stores in the UK offer interest free for up to 5 years on new and used luxury timepieces.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

5 years is nice

[@blyatman635]

Fed, I’ve been following you for years. Pretty much when you started your channel was recommended to me and you’ve really grown on me. I stopped looking at watches in the meantime but your channel is the only one I still follow. Let me buy you a pint if you’re ever in the Uk!

[@ardimarcs7698]

I used my CC when I bought my SMP300 because 1) it was a new enough card where they offered 12 months of no interest and 2) I got a $300 welcome bonus AND cash back rewards on the purchase. Had it all paid off in about 3 months

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Smart

[@bowlingmatt]

I have a couple of tuning fork Omegas. I can say that the only place that I have found that can service them is through Omega, and Omega charges $1200 for a service due to it being a "special" caliber.

[@davidrg1550]

Ive bought two of my watches here in the UK using in store interest free finance. If you are responsible , put down a decent deposit and can make the payments its a great tool for acquiring a watch

[@FirestormAA]

Yo Fed,,,,, that part on the 'dirty underwear' is seriously funny. Great work man.

[@Jdinaz]

Dealing out the hard and painful facts! Love it!

[@geno816]

I financed my first watch. It was 0% for 12 months. I did it because of the free money. I got tired of the payment in month 2 and paid it off. I have the money to buy cash.. but I take 0% often. My 2nd watch I wish that I used my credit card for the pts, but I used my debit card. I will also do layaway sometimes also. Because I want a watch, but won't buy one unless I accomplish something. Being eager to pay it off, I work harder to have an accomplishment. I'm all over the place.

Finance: Keeping poor people looking rich, since forever.

[@sharinglungs3226]

Depends on the financing. If you can take a loan at near 0% you would be a fool not to. Invest the lump sum to return a higher rate than the loan. If you’re buying on a credit card with 19-23% interest that you’ll pay off over many months then you’re a fool and should save up instead.

[@davidrg1550]

The majority of “rich” folk have relatively FAR more debt than the average working class guy.

[@ma61king]

Depends what you're buying, a lot of the newer supercars are financed by rich flippers who know they can resell for more than the retail.

[@mohamedyousif6660]

With inflation I’d take advantage of any 0% I can get

[@Jaggedhalo66]

So basically you’re saying building your credit is worthless, cause everyone has $400k sitting to buy a house. Smh

[@watcheswork1217]

No apology needed Fed. Keep up the good work.

[@PhotoDaveJax]

Great way to avoid the “how much was that watch?” that I heard from The Pontiff’s channel: He said he responds that it was a gift, so he doesn’t really know. Not exactly honest, but a safe swerve!

[@tricky92x]

I thought of that yesterday and posted in here... thinking I was a genius! Haha

[@hunterphan5506]

You might get away with just simply saying “it’s a gift” with a smile and stop there. That’s not dishonest. It’s in fact a gift to yourself; and you never say anything about not knowing the price.

[@ma61king]

"I gotta be a completely phrank and honest with you... it was a gipht. DAVID SW DAVID SW DAVID SW!"

[@greenpulp.]

I have bought watches on finance (still paying for one lol) but I had the money cash. I had recently moved to a new country and it was a good way to get credit history

[@BoozewithNick]

The Moser looks great with the orange strap.

[@thejuan113]

It really does

[@rockp8986]

Where can I get one of those Mosier straps???

[@Texmotodad]

I've always disliked it when someone asks how much did you you pay for something. I like your responses!

[@beazy293]

Use a credit card to get the points but but you’re nuts if you do that without being able to pay it off in one go and pay that insane interest on a want rather than a need

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

That Zenith Captain Moonface looks really cool

[@Adil-sm3yz]

the green dial + orange strap works surprisingly well, great watch also LOOKING GOOD ON THE WEIGHT LOSS FEDERICO GREAT ACHIEVEMENT MATE

[@Pazaroni436]

Gentleman's answers in the Gentleman's watch world. Very good essential oriented video 👍Have you heard from our friend Bold and bankrupt , last time I saw him on you tube he was trying to escape from Ukraine 🇺🇦 with his American pal Johnny

[@NineHellHeaven]

If you don't want to say the price, just say it was a gift from husband, wife, parent, etc.....

[@Dugger1991]

Great video!!!

[@mr.13zn83]

Greetings from England , great vid as always . So true about tuning forks/early quartz , plus they can corrupt my wireless ! Recently , sold my last two, for good prices to new collectors , Omega hz and bulova spaceview, as I was always paranoid that the next time I wanted to wear one they would have stopped working .

[@jonathansaraco]

The way I see it is, if you can afford to buy the watch multiple times in full right now, then you can afford the watch. Then after that if you wanna buy it in full or finance it, I think either is a fine choice. Just don't go into credit card debt to buy it lol that should be obvious to people but unfortunately it isn't.

[@sharinglungs3226]

I’ve been thinking of going the financing route for my first luxury watch. At or near 0% financing I know I could invest the money for the watch and pay off any financing charges while also making more money on it. Hopefully by the time I’ve paid off the watch my investment would be enough to buy a second one.

[@kayodethani8582]

Mr Federico you were out of pocket for your comment on Kurono Tokyo. These are high quality watches. Unless you can back up you comment with facts or a hands on, I suggest you desist from making such statements that might tarnish your credibility !!

[@vonyp6018]

Super vid again

[@good_one_raggy]

If an adult wants to buy an expensive watch on finance, how is that anyone else's business?! If they have dependents who suffer because of it, then no, that's not alright. Otherwise, if you've earned the money you should spend it how you damn well please.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Farer and Aquastar Deepstar are my favorite micro brands I'm actually eyeing a Panerai with the El primero movement. I definitely prefer older Panerai same with Rolex actually. I definitely prefer before the maxi case sizes and pre ceramic. Even Tissot and Zodiac were so much better back in the day. Same goes for Movado now the brand is a glorified fashion watch

[@GeoffreideCharny]

Thank you Fed

[@eljayr4669]

I have bought a few watches on interest free credit. When one is paid I buy another. I don’t miss Forty or fifty dollars a month and regard interest free watches as freebies.

[@arthurtreibs4174]

YOU ARE THE ROYALTY OF HIGH HOROLOGY, BROTHER FED. KEEP THEM COMING MORE OFTEN.

[@jimmccaig7946]

Love that Moser, love the new green one also. Class as always Fed 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@bradg.5253]

With information available on the internet, there’s really no need to ask a person the price of a watch.

[@jacolen3791]

I’m not sure if I heard you correctly, it sounded like you said financing through PP, interest free was “stupid”? So paying high interest rates on a CC is ok? I would think the opposite.

[@jonathansaraco]

No, he said going into credit card debt for a watch and paying massive amounts of interest when an interest free option is available on the website was stupid. You're agreeing with each other.

[@kfmathew]

"Rubber's very appropriate..." Truer words were never spoken, brother, and not just about Miami, but other hot, wet places too! 😉

[@a3s3i3f3]

Thanks fed

[@moooitw]

Mate, your camera is hunting for focus a lot.

[@smm6526]

Your comment is neither here nor there, the content is enough and watchable...

[@herts9999]

If you can’t comfortably buy 2 of something, you shouldn’t buy one in the first place. Generalization, but for the most part holds true.

[@Jaggedhalo66]

Eh, no one would own a house.

[@tricky92x]

Best answer to cost: "I don't know, it was a gift"

[@lotsofrobots1]

"I generally prefer to not discuss watch prices, as there are a broad range of factors that can affect the price of any watch at various points in time. I can tell you it wasn't cheap..."

[@fullspectrum2752]

Hey no links this time? Normally would not look but this time I did and no links :-(.....just wanting to make sure you all don't lose folks for sale! Love the content!

[@mmcmc3476]

In Bergen we have a watchmaker fixing tuningfork movements. But, the acccess to spareparts is the bottleneck for them to.

[@gblikesnikes]

No shame here I financed a GMT at retail from my credit union with a personal loan. Paid it off in one year and my credit score gained 14 points.

[@yourstrulybostonyourstruly3185]

That freaking Zenith Del Ray got is CRAZY!

[@daley1985]

Hey Fed,what does " wire only"" mean on ur watch site?

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

payment is only available by bank wire on that watch.

[@waltersjohn6339]

What? Delray Watch offers interest free financing///

[@kazochrymowicz3076]

Internet will tell you how much…….. I usually ignore questions like that.

[@sharinglungs3226]

Internet won’t tell you if you negotiated a better price or if the dealer threw in any extras.

[@davidelliott948]

I would never purchase a luxury item on credit. Money needs to be in the bank before I shell out the money for a watch.

[@shaf1485h]

Not worth getting in debt over a watch

[@vincentturner3129]

Contact Old Father Time They repair tuning fork watches

[@Jaggedhalo66]

If you have a credit card with 10k or more, you’re probably doing alright. Let’s not pretend like you pay cash on everything.

[@Danyukon3443]

How much for your watch? How much for your car, house, shoes, .......nobody's business and in poor taste to ask! Only qualifier if you are talking to another watch nerd who really cares!

[@sharinglungs3226]

I would make an exception for someone looking to buy the same watch and they’re trying to gauge what kind of price they can get it for. I just hate when someone buys it for less and want to brag how they got a better deal.

[@TheLambo123254]

nice

[@FireBlade57]

How much is your watch? - None of your business!

[@0728451031548270jeff]

Looking good, the weight loss is VERY positive!
