Experience buying an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph worth $40,000 in Dubai

[@watchcollectorglobal9166]

Great to see a watch enthusiast like your friend getting the watch from the boutique and not from the grey market flippers. well done!

[@JayandSarah]

there has to be more to it, they just don't sell to enthusiasts because they feel good about it my friend is a manager of a vacheron boutique and can't even get me a watch

[@JeDxDeVu]

People would buy from boutiques but nobody wants to kiss ass to spend their hard earned money.

[@JayandSarah]

@@JeDxDeVu most people dropping money on expensive luxury watches is not hard earned money.

[@JeDxDeVu]

@@JayandSarah wrong

[@JayandSarah]

@@JeDxDeVu ok, let me fix that. Any smart person isn't doing it with hard earned money. Wealth doesn't work hard for it's money. Mine flows into a bank account monthly without one lick of work. Sure there are odinary working class folk that buy these watches, but that is not very smart. Most people have no savings, so if you are buying this stuff and aren't rich, you are not behaving financially very smart.

10:48 ...bezel and pushers are made from ceramic , case from steel in this model particularly , not from titanium

[@jonathanbaguley3840]

Great video, and so nice to see a boutique/AD having fun and treating their customers so well. The small details make such a big difference, especially when spending such large amounts of money. The 10:10 I’ve not seen before, very cool - big congrats

[@kaossi]

Glückwünsch an deinen Freund und danke, dass du solche Momente hier zeigst! Wunderschöne Uhr!

[@therealopinion-]

I did enjoy the watch buying experience - thanks another good vid. Your friend is on a tear!!

[@Christianbuchmann1]

great to see a watch going to a collector and the experience at the AP boutique was quality. Hopefully this trend continues

[@DDD-gv6ty]

What an amazing AP for Stefan, so happy for him! And I love the German-Emirati watch-collecting cabal you guys have there. It definitely makes watch collecting a lot more fun. It even makes me want to move to Dubai to join you guys! 😂 Please keep up the good work and continue to show us your joy of watch collecting. MfG!

[@galenmarek888]

Congrats to your friend for his new watch.- The reason I mostly buy on the secondary market, new or pre-owned, is because I have "to be allowed" to give them my money. WTF? This "for display" policy/practice is what created the watch bubble and the subsequent crash prices we have experienced in the past almost 3 years. If a watch is there, I should be able to buy it on the spot or to order it and wait for my order to arrive. Not apply and wait to be "approved". I'm not asking for a line of credit at the bank ffs!

[@msaadjilani]

Disagree. The watch bubble is largely because of grey market people who buy watches just to resell it for a higher price. The sole purpose of a “boutique” is to have watches for people to see. I went to dubai for a week last month and i was immensely happy to finally see some beautiful AP watches in person. I couldn’t afford any of them to save my life but just staring at them made me happy 😂 hope you understand

[@bobkrinsky2117]

I know the concept is difficult for non-collectors to understand, if you sold the display watches the ability to try the watch would be removed from the shopping experience. Also, the AP supply is limited. AP currently manufactures roughly 48,000 watches per year, world-wide, this is for all models and all finishes. Without controlling the product release you would only flood the grey market and loose control of the little control on the pricing. If you understand you understand and if you don't you don't, either you are a collector or a flipper/grey market reseller and these are collector pieces. If you simply want a nice watch to wear you can buy a nice watch at any watch store.

[@bobkrinsky2117]

FYI: That watch case is made from Stainless Steel, the earlier 44mm was Titanium.

[@tann888]

I don’t like grey market either when it comes to some models that they have to sell a lot more the retail price, but for this AP 43mm you can get it under retail now from grey market.

[@PeteCee]

The dial and bracelet on that Moser are stunning!

[@baumeisterz]

The watch fits Stefan super perfect! Really beautiful piece.

[@tromboostofficial]

The BEST collector timepiece you can get!!!! Hold it! So timeless! 🔥🔥🔥🔥✨

[@IfYouWantMetallica]

Really nice video! Everytime a pleasure to watch. Again greetings from Germany by a German watch collecter:)

[@tromboostofficial]

CONGRATS on this huge rare timepiece! I picked up this watch 2 weeks ago! ONE OF THE BEST DAILY OFFSHORES you can have! If not the BEST one!! This is truely a collector piece, honestly. Especially cause it‘s loud big and especially timeless. Never out of fashion, with this dial and those straps! Anyways AP makes around 40-50k watches so it goes without saying that not everyone gets these watches and they are limited by themselves already. They trade currently around 48.000-50.000€ to 60.000€ (when the market peaked) so a real solid collector timepiece in my opinion if you keep it for the very long term! At least +40-60%!! Such an extreme stunning piece !!!! I LOVE MINE so much! This watch will stay with me. Got so lucky! Congrats again on yours aswell! Take care man! Greetings

[@marcscholl4133]

Mega Video! Freut mich immer wenn du ein Video hoch lädst ✌🏻

[@TheDubaiExpat]

Danke dir :)!

[@darellhunter2205]

Thank you so much for sharing! Such a beautiful timepiece! ✌🏾

[@warrenw273]

Wow that’s the nicest AP I’ve seen… love it well done on the purchase from an AD 👍 I’m not in that league but a Rolex DateJust 41, Tudor GMT Pepsi, TISSOT 2000 Seastar is the best I can do in the past 12 months.. I’m happy with what I have and an AP is definitely a grail piece 😁

[@frankv7068]

That is a sick watch 🤤! Congrats 🍾 and enjoy it

[@SonikDethmonkey]

I honestly don’t get the hype with Offshores but hey, to each their own! Your friend must be very happy!

[@DWilliam1]

Beautiful watch and the full AD/Boutique experience.

[@ianferris]

Always a pleasure to watch your video, Niko!

[@rav008]

beautiful watch. If only the AP dealer in London had stock for sale :(

Lovely AP & Culture! 👍🏻

[@sautante]

It's very telling you mentioned "trust with the boutique", kinda implies he will now be able to go after the more "desirable" options ;)

[@luisfernandomolina6997]

Loved the video! And that royal oak jumbo es definitely a grail!

[@TheDubaiExpat]

you will, just work on it :)!

[@ferentzcretu7361]

Great video! Keep it up! I really enjoyed it.

[@michaelfierman3256]

Oh I can certainly believe the amount of competition with all of the money at their disposal 💸💸💸💸💸

[@TheArthoris]

Can I ask how long he waited for the call. I’m on the list at that same boutique for 4 choices of offshore

[@TheDubaiExpat]

oh I think a few months but I don't remember exactly, maybe half a year back he asked for the first time about it. I think it is best if you narrow down your selection a bit, follow up every now and then and visit the boutique frequently for some good watch. talk :)

[@TheArthoris]

@@TheDubaiExpat thank you for replying. And keep up the great work on your videos. Really enjoy them

How do you wear your watch that tight?

[@javim6620]

Love your videos TDE!!! Also love watches I am starting my colletion 3 pieces already (the zenith poker chip is in the list) but I would like to go further and get Omega Snoopy 50th anniversary any possibility to get it retail price? Price in grey market is absolutely nuts...

[@smart4141]

Thanks Niko for this video. I am sure you will post a detailed review Video. Are you buying the iPhone 14 Pro?

[@mgt4494]

Great Video, I am also at the beginning of my watch journey. I am curious, since I have a business trip to Dubai next year: Can everyone walk in there and try an AP on the wrist or are those usually appointment only?

[@ClemsonNY13]

No appointment needed. Anyone can walk in the shop and try on display pieces.

[@felixmarks9352]

Also my favorite offshore 43mm

[@maartenkneiseler]

Congratulations to Stephan. Legend! Please consult him to apply the right security measures as its now publicly know that he may keep up to 100k in assets around. Risky. Congrats, great video and all the best!

[@MajinSYGFromTheBT]

They’re in dubai. Don’t worry about them😂

[@dvukovic]

I am waiting for this exact model&color for more than 2 years now :)

[@TheDubaiExpat]

I hope you will get it :), visit the boutique every now and then and talk watches :)

@@TheDubaiExpat I message the AP guy more than my wife, but still no luck 🤣

Great video to start of but i do have a qns about your friend stefan. U mention he did own a batman from the grey market did he wore his batman even before his allocated a rolex from the AD?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

I think he bought all his Rolex from Grey Market. Super tough here in Dubai to get a rolex sports.

[@WhatTimeIsIt999]

I can't even afford the cakes they're eating 😳

[@neznamtija8081]

Two questions: 1. How long did he wait for the watch? What does the process entail ? 2. What tools do Arabs use to groom their beards like that? Do they visit the barber shop like every week or do they do it at how and if yes how ?
