Buying & Selling Rolex | Munich Watch Trade Show | Vintage Omega | Watchtrader & Co | Ep.16

In this episode, Stuart has a customer who wants to look at 41mm blue dial Datejust’s that we have in stock and compare them to the Batgirl before making a purchase.
Josh has an international customer in the pipeline and is looking to close the deal on a very sought-after Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time with the black rubber strap.
We fly to Germany to land some deals at the Munich Trade Show which is one of the biggest in Europe. The trade prices over there are strong and quite comparable to retail prices back in the UK. We have some heavy hitters to sell and have our eyes out for the full rose gold GMT-Master II Rootbeer.
Back at the boutique in Newcastle, Hendo has a customer with a collection of timepieces that he has inherited but may be tempted to part with if the price is right.
Billy takes us through some of the latest arrivals in the post. We receive our first model of the Rolex Explorer 36mm in the new two-tone steel and yellow gold.
Josh takes us through a selection of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak models that we currently have in store. These range in size, age, and complication. This is before a number of customer appointments to purchase some of the hottest Rolex sports models.
Watchtrader & Co is an established family-owned business with a boutique store based in Newcastle upon Tyne and a client base UK-wide. They also have partner stores in London so you can buy, sell or upgrade your watch in a location that is convenient for you. With years of experience in the trade, they stock an impressive range of the hottest timepieces from leading luxury brands such as Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Cartier, Tudor, and more.

The camera man is pure class. Best in the watch vlog community. Great shots, great questions asks all the questions viewers want to ask.

[@Watchtrader]

Thanks a lot for the kind words mate, appreciate the feedback 👊

[@HenriksenDolf]

Is he related to Adam Swordz?

[@JohnDoesWatches]

I have been in Munich at the watch trading show while I’ve helped my dad out talking to potential customers. Can confirm it is a great experience and I would love to come back with more watch knowledge and try to sell more.

[@tommygunn8935]

that fella bangin about residual value done my sweed in, buy the 1 you like end of.

[@carcarroom]

I agree not a proper watch collector, he just sounds like a spoilt, ungrateful child.

[@Watchtrader]

They’re just investments to some and each to their own. He made a great choice in the end

[@carcarroom]

@@Watchtrader that’s fair, hopefully he enjoys the piece in good health. Steel datejust 41’s are beautiful pieces.

[@stevendouglas3860]

What a great watch store Stu- very respectful and patient explaining which watch to buy . Hendo Always always ....worth listening too, so honest with a font of knowledge. Josh - those new watches are gorgeous. That Tiffany & Co Patek wow !!!

[@Watchtrader]

Thanks a lot Steven, the team appreciates the kind words 🙏 It’s all in the details with the Tiffany dial’s for the right collector

[@MattWilliams482]

Very knowledgeable and respectful watch traders. Love these long length videos by the way. 👍

[@Watchtrader]

Thank you Matthew, we try to capture as much as we can

[@davidallen8470]

Yet another great episode , keep getting better and better , more insight into what you all do day to day , great to see Hendo doing his thing , hoping grandad is feeling better soon and you can get him back on for his banter 👍👍

[@Watchtrader]

Appreciate it David. You’re right, we’ll have to have him in again soon

[@stevejones1967]

Omg the first punter was so irritating, you guys are incredibly patient

[@dukmo4216]

Yes. He just kept piping on and on

[@paulfish5074]

I know. I used to work in car sales and how Stuart didn't tutt, or sigh is beyond me. Idiots like that guy everywhere.

[@liibaanali1677]

I guess it’s being pragmatic but I just hate how everything is about investment - just buy a watch you like and want to use and love.

[@NOSKIPPIN]

Was thinking exactly the same. Just buy the watch you like, it’s really not that difficult!

[@andybradley9800]

Class as always lads, the videos are just getting better and better. Mixing it up and showing all the different parts of the business works so well.

[@Watchtrader]

Thanks a lot Andy, appreciate the feedback

[@caseyjones94]

Patience of a saint with that 1st customer... I couldn't..😂😂👏👏👏

[@Watchtrader]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@carlgouder]

That first customer highlights pretty much everything that’s wrong with the watch world at the moment. Investment, investment, investment. 😬

[@onecoolstorybro]

Why is that wrong? Same thing going on with exotic cars, FYI.

[@stevefitchett6193]

@@onecoolstorybro it should be about liking the product. When you buy for investment you need to get them at list not the grey market. When you can genuinely afford these watches without worrying about the investment you will enjoy them more.

[@garytollett8640]

another great video, great to see the trips and interaction with VIP clients. Keep smashing it gents.

You’ve got the patience of a Saint Stuart .If that customer is so concerned about the investment value of Rolex watches why the hell did he buy Tag . BTW did anyone notice that guy fall down the step in the Munich hotel at 19.54 ? 😂😂😂

[@tobymaguire8671]

What a guy stuart staying so patient 😂

I do believe VAR had a look at it but decided no pen. Classic ankle turn, but deemed own fault due to not looking where he was going. Classic. Only looked at it 6 times.

[@Watchtrader]

Hendo is an absolute legend well at least the way he comes across
