Client Wants To Trade His Watch Collection For A Paul Newman Daytona

[@BudFox575]

Bud, this is one of the best watch videos I've ever seen. This video is better than any video ever put out by Hodinkee

[@arnoldjenkins5455]

Hodinkee are slowing imploding

[@mentawatches]

Dude THANK YOU!

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Adam knows Rolex and is a trust worthy source for vintage watches. I like how Adam brought 4 different era vintage Subs, and walked through the + & -'s of each so the chef could make an informed choice.

[@mentawatches]

Thanks!!!!

[@stemikger]

Great episode. I love learning about vintage watches and who better than Adam!

[@mentawatches]

Thanks so much!

[@TheEasyRail]

This was a gem! You really get easily into depths of different watches when somebody is actually considering and comparing between multiple options. Too often you just get presented one watch and it leaves up to the viewer to do Googling or watching other videos to really catch the differences.

[@mentawatches]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@frankphilpot3492]

I'm torn between the ref. 5513 and the ref. 16800, I love them both😊

[@mentawatches]

We do too! Adam says 5513, jordan says 16800. LOL

[@andresrrcf]

Adam, very educational video my man! Love this type of content! 👏 👏

[@mentawatches]

Xoxo

[@nathangabriel937]

Amazing video. One of the best ever for vintage Subs. Thank you for the great content.

Your passion and knowledge on each piece is remarkable!! Thank you for another great video white dial Paul Newman is my grail

Really great content, the 28 minutes flew by which is about the best comment I can ever make. Fantastic work.

This was an awesome episode.

[@mentawatches]

Appreciate it thank you!

[@Carvewater]

So how much does a c series run? Difference in price with ap up or down on dial?

[@mentawatches]

I would say his C series should sell in the 50k range.

[@chronokenny8499]

Great video Adam. That man has one hell of a collection, beautiful 6263, 5402 and zenith.

[@mentawatches]

Agreed!

[@alexanderzhien6208]

Damn, Adam, you got me with this. Now I want a 5513 with a gilt dial. What a beautiful piece. As always: Great content!

[@mentawatches]

We’re here when you are ready!

[@Drofcomedy]

Great episode! As always.

[@eggs-benny]

[@umq5147]

Another great video

[@mentawatches]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@notyourdaddy8300]

Man I loved the Daytona with the silver dial. That Nicholas just didn’t shut up though did he. Would have been nice if he let you get a word in 😊

[@fbernacke]

Really really nice job.

[@mentawatches]

Thank you very much!

[@markgiles8527]

Agreed, it’s quicker to use your watch that grab your phone if timing something. But to say a Chronographs purpose was to time how long to cook something…😂 I do like the vintage watches, but about $3K is about all I’d pay. 😮

[@marksolby]

Amazing content, thank you Adam. It would be interesting to understand whether a watch like the gilt 5513 can be used daily, of course with some care, and still mantain the perfect dial condition/lume etc. In other words, what causes degradation in reality?

[@bryanj2274]

I can't wait to buy my first proper watch from Adam one day.

[@rudolfkamijan3762]

Nice video.. vintage rolex watches 👍

Idk why i thought that was dana white, on thumbnail lmao

[@singaporewatchcollector6262]

Very insightful and definitely better than most hodinkee episodes man. Great job 👍

[@mentawatches]

Haha thanks so much!

[@creightonsmith5333]

Forget the rest, buy a 5512 and you will never regret it. I bought my 1966 5512 used in 1973 for $150. and have never thought of wearing any other watch.

[@shadowsocks7472]

I didn't know Tony Stewart was a watch dealer.

[@therealandresmusic]

Nicholas? Not at all, he knows that we know what we’re doing. Thanks for the kind words, happy you enjoyed the vid!!!

[@DavidEAngell]

What an amazing collection..please dont trade that collection in for a Paul Newman. All the years searching and hunting building that collection just to trade in for one very special piece.

[@mentawatches]

He’s owned them for so long and enjoyed them, it may be time to change it up!

[@josephharrison6751]

I know you aren't a huge fan of birth year watches but is a 1989 sub a nice reference year?

[@mentawatches]

Sure! Lot of nice stuff made in 1989!

[@jameswestconsultant]

Should have brought a 1680 non-red Sub as the sapphire crystal just ruins it. Other than my ref 126506 platinum Daytona, I only wear plastic ☝🏻🥴

[@sinjinadams2862]

You said in the beginning the Submariner was produced starting in 1954. I always thought it was 1953. Have I been wrong about that?

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Rolex announced the Sub in 1953, but it took until 1954 to get into the ADs to purchase.

[@jamesblonde2271]

@@dannysimenauer5745Navy trialed them, '53 watches lack the blinking Mercedes

[@mentawatches]

Yep!!!

[@sinjinadams2862]

@mentawatches Ok, very confusing though. I recently watched a great Hodinkee video on the history of the Rolex Submariner and they say 1953. It seems like even experts differ on the year.

[@graffzon]

If you gonna wear your watch above the bone go bigger, Waaaaay bigger so it fills up the wrist.

[@RobertNelson-z7n]

With the history of these watches, I personally would keep them. I think the Paul Newman examples are way overrated, and that a swap would negate the history this man has with his current watches. But, that's what makes a market.

[@darinpashley2102]

So cool that he uses his watches to time in the kitchen

[@mentawatches]

He’s the last of a dying breed!!!

[@ayeoooo]

Need a hour video

[@a004]

*sells how great the watch is for 20min Guy: can you swim in it? You: no i wouldn't do that with a submariner *Guy rolls his eyes

[@ptykozoon1658]

men need to spend the money they spend on shoes (kids nike sneaker collections) and 10 thousand dollar watches and spend it on a wardrobe

We’ll call you when we need fashion advice! Thanks for watching

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

Why would anyone want to buy a vintage watch just to bang it up in the kitchen or a workshop? Thinking that leads to such decisions is a mystery.

[@MamanLuxuryCollection]

Overwhelmed with horology wisdom, but disappointed as I tuned in for the seafood.

"I wouldn`t go swimming with a dive watch; even a 16800 with Sapphire Crystal 300 mwp" How silly 👎
