This is Why I Won't Buy Luxury Watches Anymore

[@bradleypariah]

Not long ago, I was telling my wife that I planned on buying a Rolex as a retirement gift for myself someday. Now, I'd honestly feel foolish for doing so. I ended up just buying a solid steel Sub-style case & bracelet, a dial I liked, some snowflake hands, and an automatic movement, and I just built my own watch instead. It doesn't have a Rolex logo or anything (it doesn't have any logos at all), but it could be mistaken for a Rolex or Tudor pretty easily, but if someone noticed that it wasn't one, my backup story is the truth - I built it myself. It takes all the question of cost and status off the table, and it focuses on my passion for watches. It instantly became one of my favorite, most luxurious watches, and I only spent about $120 on it.

[@michlo3393]

I'd love to hear more about how you built that watch. Are there brands offering to do that?

[@overman2306]

Where did you buy the parts? I always wanted to build my own watch.

[@MrBacchus18]

I want to do that one day, I'd probably mess it up though😂

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Seiko SLA’s will last you forever and are a decent price for what you get. Rolex’s just are not worth your money! Take the money you save and buy some gold or silver…..If you look…you can get some GREAT watches in that 2k range! Enjoy retirement…Im not far behind ya. 😊

[@ge48421]

I'm more and more coming to the same conclusion. Spending a massive amount of money on a watch you're not comfortable wearing out is not worth the trouble. This is even more of a concern when traveling. I recently assembled a 3 watch collection specifically for travel, and added a couple of straps to dress them up or down. It covers my use cases (work, dinner, GMT/world timer, beater/exercise) and if one gets damaged or the lot gets stolen it won't spoil the whole trip.

[@sheisty1753]

I agree 100%. I used to have a number of high end expensive Swiss watches. I thought that was enjoyment. Due to circumstances, I sold them all. By and large taking a beating as usually happens when you have to sell. I’m back in the hobby and realize it’s not how much you spend but how much you hunt. Instead of solely paying attention to the Swiss “luxury” brands, I now explore and have found an appreciation for so many other brands outside of Switzerland. I’ll still find a spot in my new, growing collection for a few modest Swiss pieces. The most expensive piece in my new collection is $1,600. Outside of watch geeks who’d know what the piece is, it’s low key. And I love it. It’s more fun! Thanks for the video!

I agree. I just buy the watches that I like. One of my favorite watches is a Mathey-Tissot quartz that I paid $98 for on sale. I am still surprised how much I love wearing it over some of my more expensive watches. I just love the colors and simple style.

[@cajanir]

Good video. I think its an excellent reminder not to take this hobby too seriously. As much as I can appreciate the idea of luxury watches, I prefer to wear watches that I don't worry about servicing costs, or having the watches lost or stolen.

[@bernardsegouin6773]

I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing my first luxury watch. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly

[@gregorridavichko]

The best advice that i learned from Armand is don't buy a luxury watch until you have 5 times the price of it in your Bank account, when you purchase one you add to your assets but u add also maintenance and unexpected damages that can happen in future

[@gabrielbruhnr]

I understand Armand's advice but that's overkill. If most people did that - they would never own one. The 10-15% rule is enough - especially if you make even more with multiple streams of income. My investment properties pay for my exotics cars and watches. It's many different things you can do to afford easily and responsibly. You don't need a million cash to afford a 100k watch. multiple streams and assets that produce income is key to maintaining such hobbies.

You just nailed it so perfectly. Only this past month I began selling off my Swiss watches. A small handful. Kept 2 Grand Seikos and have been obsessed with Casio and G Shocks, low end, MTG, modding. Why? Just like you said. It’s FUN again. Buying limited editions is a blast and it’s what 130 dollars? Great video!

[@buddhagunz]

I totally agree with you. I have luxury watches in my collection, but I currently refuse to buy anything over 1500 dollars nowadays. The law of diminishing returns apply to all luxury purchases in my experience.

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

I am in this camp.

Maximum $1500 for a micro brand or $2500 for named brand is probably the point where diminishing returns get extreme.

Yep, totally, I consider 2000€ to be a cap nowadays, and it would be hard to justify anything above that. I might go out of my mind id they release an El Primero Defy 21 in a smaller size, but even in that case I will have to sell something more expensive to buy it

[@raupenimmersatt6906]

Depends- I tend to prefer a Christopher Ward over the Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage as I dont see the point in Paying 4-5x more. But for a used Breguet (full gold) for about 10k I see a bit of value.

@@raupenimmersatt6906 I agree, I have a Trident Pro 300, though to be honest I’ve never got to examine a Seamaster 300 up close. At the same time, I cannot see how the quality could be meaningfully better than CW and their “Lightcatcher” case.

[@OhMyStrap]

I totally agree. It is like buying a house: many householders need to calculate extra costs for maintenance. Plus, microbrands are keeping up and offer more designs that are unique and much more fun.

Maintenance costs are one thing. Try calculating the actual cost of ownership purely based on a 25 year mortgage without any other considerations. A $400k mortgage, even based upon a somewhat lower rate of 4%, turns into $570k.

Stepping into my 60s, I'm also recognizing this truth. We were looking at a Rolex Sky-dweller and even the stainless model is almost $25K. I have a couple that were purchased in the mid-80s that were reasonably priced, but even the insurance on these has started to become a big bite. I've been looking at some of the microbrands lately and I think my next purchases will be far more cost effective 👍

Now realistically I know I can't keep them all and have flipped ones that have gone unworn for long periods of time and fallen out of rotation and even that is done reluctantly. Keep up the high quality content, Thumbs up given!

[@truno7]

You mentioned the enjoyment to price ratio. The Seiko SPB143 hits it on the head. It’s so nice, but is gets a ding or scratch and it actually doesn’t make me crazy. I LOVE wearing it. Over the years as it gets more scratches it will look even better!

[@johnvienna3422]

When I get my first scratch on a watch (and I'm talking Seikos, not Rolexes), I have a moment of shock... but after that I can just get on with enjoying the watch even more, as I'm not worrying about it. As for Rolex etc, I could never relax with €10k on my wrist.

[@kaunas888]

Companies like Rolex do not release their spare parts to the open market, which means that those who own Rolexes can generally only get them serviced and repaired at official Rolex centers, which means that service centers are limited and Rolex can set the terms which means very high prices since there is no competition. It does not sound like a good deal to me.

I’m a Speedmaster fan. They maintain their value against inflation over the years. I get great enjoyment from a little glimpse of it every day. Add up how much a new Apple Watch costs over a longer period and the argument gets stronger for a luxury mechanical watch. The latest Omegas for example only need 10 years servicing on average. Something to give to your kids one day too 😊

A few years ago, Costco had a traditional hesalite crystal Speedmaster for sale in their jewelry case.

To this day I always check the jewelry case when I go there in the off chance they stock one again.

Exactly. I’m not sure one’s children will be all that excited by the heirloom. A few might, but most won’t be. And how much to service it? Um, no thanks. I need money to upgrade my smart phone (which is fair enough). The ‘heirloom‘ will probably languish in a bottom drawer only to be eventually discarded.

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

Needed to see this. Been, “on the fence” of buying a Sinn, which while less than $2,000, STILL, that is a lot of money for a watch. I also find myself thinking (with a lot of luxury purchases), “I am middle aged and I have no one to leave something like that to once I am gone.” Bothers me that someone in a hospital (who likely would not even know what it was) will likely end up with it.

[@dunderhay9169]

Great advice 👍. There is pleasure to be had researching, choosing and wearing watches in all price brackets. The difference is the money at stake, if you can afford to lose the watch and have it serviced without thinking twice, buy it. If it is a real stretch and you know you will need the money invested back some time, then it will be hard to enjoy wearing it for fear of damaging and devaluing it.

[@casperskestrel]

I have a 30 year old Seiko which cost around $200 and a 25 year old Omega Seamaster Professional which cost around $1500 (both bought new). Since owning them, I have now spent more on servicing than the watches themselves actually cost me to buy.

I've recently sold my Rolex Explorer (probably the least flashy and cheapest Rolex out there) and put the cash towards a Grand Seiko. Aesthetically the GS is a way more beautiful watch and the materials and craftsmanship are off the chart ... but no one knows what it is and that suits me 100%!

@wyomarine6341 - if you're still tempted I'd highly suggest trying one on. The build quality is amazing and it sits beautifully on the wrist.

Excellent video offering extremely sound advice. The world of luxury watches is not worth getting into now if you expect fair value for money, which I do. You are right, it is the price versus enjoyment ratio that matters. I cannot really enjoy a watch priced in the £1000s that costs a small fortune to maintain (even though I can easily afford it) which is little different to one costing £100s which I can just retire if expensive repairs are required. With the big luxury brands you are paying mainly for the name, their marketing and big profit margins. The differences in specification and quality are relatively minimal and can in no way justify the ~500% price hike over mid- to lower-tier luxury brands. As I mentioned before, Seiko, Tissot, Certina, Citizen and Junghans are the brands I recommend for a favourable price versus enjoyment ratio. Hamilton also although I do not own one . . . yet. Longines, Rado, Oris etc. too are OK by Swiss standards but not nearly as solid re. value for money as they were back in the 2000s. Keep up the good work!

[@arielcandoleta5347]

There was this manufacturer from China that came up with a tourbillon timepiece for 500 dollars. It may not have the prestige of most luxury timepieces but if it came down to it, I'll get it knowing it works good. I don't care about resale value I buy a watch for my own enjoyment.

[@paulc9588]

@@arielcandoleta5347 I'd be tempted to buy it too. Resale value is overhyped anyway. Most luxury watches are mass-produced items and not at all rare. You are far more likely lose money, maybe a lot of money, than make it and the cost of maintaining the watch has to be factored in. Then there is the hassle and risk of selling the watch and being ripped off. Dealers want to buy cheap and then sell on at an inflated price to someone who doesn't understand what they are buying, making a big profit in the process.

[@DrMaillard]

Thanks for stating what I had in my mind for a long time! Enjoyment is a relative concept and I find myself enjoying wearing a watch that I can bond with which will become part of my daily life and for the reasons you've stated this cannot easily happen with any of the expensive watches I own.

[@alecleamus3280]

This was a very thoughtful video, and has instantly made me reconsider my relationship with my watch collection. The example of how much a Submariner has increased in real times is truly shocking. And I’m sure that if we knew the case of producing these watches, we’d be horrified. Thankfully I never bought any of my luxury watches for anything close to retail, as most were bought around eight years ago, and all pre-owned in top condition with papers. I have a large collection, with around three to four each of Rolex, Omega and Breitling. But I also own some terrific pieces from Seiko, Christopher Ward, and homages from San Martin and Seestern. I can honestly say that I will never again buy a Rolex, and will now rationalise my collection over the next year, and actually fall in love with watches again hopefully, instead of stressing out in the way you articulated so well.

Rolex just use artificial scarcity to drive up prices to ridiculous heights, it's the same story with diamonds, although for some reason Rolex watches hold their value in the second hand market, unlike diamonds.

Hey James I really love the idea of building my own watch. Would you be able to guide me on this?

[@jamesgreig8796]

Hi, no problem. You would need to buy the following: A basic watch tool kit, watch case, a movement and some watch hands. All these can be bought on line at reasonable prices. You can also go on KZbin for instructions on how to build a watch. You can also buy the full watch making kit with all the required components (movement, case, dial, hands etc.), which is a easier. However, I wanted to customise my dial, rather than a generic one. This I found to be most challenging. I designed the dial and then had a graphics labelling company print it for me, which I then mounted on the watch dial. A lot of trial an error here as sizing, spacing and dimensions have to be exact, otherwise you will have lining up issues with the hands. It will certainly be a lot easier, if you use a generic supplied dial and maybe this is the way to go. Be prepared to make a few mistakes as part of the learning process..Hope this helps.All the best. @@maxmaara

I agree point-for-point with you (except for my personal/ethical issue with homages) and I'm hearing and feeling this sentiment more and more across the hobby community.

[@Horologique]

Yes they are, and that just pisses me off ! It's not only the Swiss, to a much lesser degree Seiko raised prices very much in the past years without raising quality and I felt...betrayed 😂.

[@MeestroDavid]

@Horologique Yeah, Seiko's been creeping their prices upward and I won't defend all of that, but at least they're still doing really interesting and fun things in the mid-3-figure range (the Snoopy 5 pilot, the 5 GMTs, and the Speedtimer solars are 3 great examples) and I'd still argue that-if you're of the mind that any mass-produced watch should cost so much-Grand Seikos are incredible bargains relative to what the major Swiss brands are offering at the same price. And I certainly appreciate the inherent honesty of Seiko watches being made by Seiko marketed as Seikos vs, say, Swatch pretending that Hamilton, Longines, Tissot, etc., are distinct manufactures rather than just different logos applied to watches from the same factories for branding and marketing purposes, or the endless variety of companies pretending that movements made by third-parties or companies within the same business conglomerate are "in house" and unique.It didn't work well for GM and I don't expect it'll work out well for Swatch, either.

Nice pieces of advice Olivier.I pretty much agree with you but I think one has to distinguish between untouchable high-end luxury watches (MB&F, Urwerk, JP Journe, Vacheron...), more and more unatteignable high-hype horology (Patek, Rolex and more and more Omega) and mid-tier luxury watches provided by new actors/brands trying to push forward the quality/price ratio (Christopher Ward with the BelCanto or the Twelve (around 4000 bucks however), Atowak with the fantastic Tarantula (around 2000€ for a Urwerk-like satellite wandering-hours complication) or Radcliffe (around 450€ for an MB&F flavour with Le Dôme) (I own or will own those watches). The last luxury watch I bought (and love) is the fabulous Tudor BB54: the quality and accuracy of this watch can not be competed by any San Martin and I have been desappointed with the PT5000 for example (accurate but very fragile, most of the time not sufficiently lubrificated, QC "so-so"). But globally, you are right: it is crazy to try to buy a Rolex submariner at this point and a crack has already begun.

[@a_non_emouse]

I'm going through the same process. I collect a wide range of watches and I had planned to get an Omega, but their prices are inflating to such a point where I'm questioning this.

But I can't help liking watches, I may get a luxury quartz something like a grand seiko ot tag solar something nice cheap to maintain. I came to realise accuracy is important to me, can't stand watches that lose time, the rest sub 1k I bought a g shock which is great, it really makes you realise how mad it is to buy luxury watches unless you're wealthy. They are a false god.

[@sinjinadams2862]

@cj.6988 HaHa! It's funny you say accuracy is so important to you. I don't really care about that. As long as my watch is within 45 seconds a day, I'm fine. I don't even set and wind my watches when I wear them.

[@josefernandez2722]

Thanks for this. I began collecting watches about a year ago. Never anything expensive. I have 2 oceanus watches which I paid about $1300 for both, a couple of seikos, 2 islanders from LI watch Co, and a couple of casios. I noticed as I was getting enticed into spending more and more, that what ever is inside is not what you are enjoying as much as what the naked eye sees. I am not talking about getting total garbage. What I am saying is once you get really good finishing, anti reflective sapphire crystall , nice looking dial and a decent movement for the price, I think you are good to go. I was looking at 2k to 5k watches and I couldn't see me enjoying those anymore. It's like getting a 500hp car when you are only driving it 30mph.

[@robd7934]

Great video. I have also started to lose a lot of interest in owning luxury watches. Last year I purchased an Omega SM300 and while the watch is very nice, I’m thinking what I paid was really not worth it and been thinking about selling it. Most times I wear my much cheaper Rado or Longines watch that fit me better. I also don’t worry as much about damaging or losing my cheaper watches. I also would never spend over $10k on a Rolex. I prefer a Hamilton or another Longines.

[@Horologique]

You are right about that, it's ALWAYS about the watch YOU feel better with, it's your money, your style 👍. Keep on enjoying your beautiful collection

[@TECHFIGHTER]

I tried buying similar but less expensive models from the likes of Seiko, Hamilton, etc and also tried homage versions but at the end of the day none of them manqged to fill the void i had for a top tier timepiece. I kept feeling the need to upgrade to a true lifelong watch. I decided to go for it and bought my Rolex Submariner about a year and a half ago and haven't felt the need to upgrade to anything else. It's actually saved me from continuously buying and wasting money on watches. Plus i love wearing it for absolutely everything, everywhere.

[@mrlume9475]

I have six luxury watches, Rolex, Omega, Panerai, and Tudor. These are keepers and will be handed down to my kids. I now have fun collecting, buying, and selling lower cost watches.

There is such a good selection of lower cost pieces that for me, they scratch the itch. Great channel, love the content.

Great video. I have not bought anything above a Chris Ward, but I am tempted to a lot 😭. One big reason is that I can now service ETA/Sellita/Miyota/Seiko movements myself after about ~$300 in tools and learning on KZbin. If I break a pivot I don’t fear not being able to cheaply find a replacement.

[@dec1aim_flow432]

I agree that cheap watches can bring you lots of enjoyment. As a collector of both expensive brands and cheaper I can testify that I enjoy immensely my seiko or even my steeldive (hommage to an old IWC) but there is something about top brands (JLC, IWC, Rolex,…) that cannot be replicated with cheaper options. The good balance must be a bit of both…

Hello, I can only agree with you. The price development is really shocking in recent years. When the price was at its highest, I sold my watch collection (2 Rolex and 2 Omgea) and bought two san martin watches and am still very happy with them. You don't necessarily have to own an expensive watch in terms of quality. San Martin shows that there is another way...

[@steveb4012]

I own an Omega 300m and a Planet Ocean. The service costs are now close to 50% of what i paid for each watch, ridiculous. Ive spent the last 6 months wearing a Tellow Casoak, a Pagani Moon Watch and the GG B100 Mudmaster. As youve said, i get as much a kick of these three as anything else i own.

However, I definitely wasn't aware of what I was getting into with service costs. I've racked up nearly a £1000 replacing rubber straps on the Planet Ocean!

[@stocksxbondage]

@@steveb4012 well thanks for being transparent! Eventually, you’ve gotta ask what else would I spend it on if it must be for my personal enjoyment? People spend the value of your watch collection plus maintenance on a newer car with less mi/km. Based on you being a Bond fan (I’ve also seen every movie), I’d bet you get immensely more value from the watch than you would if your car was a hair newer/nicer.

[@martinharrison4245]

Agree with pretty much everything you said. I built up a collection of about 8 watches , never buying new , so i got value for money. Ive got tudors , rados, tag heuer, edox, high end seiko sla etc....then my mrs got me a san martin bb pro homage, and i loved it, and then i got a seestern steve mcqueen rolex explorer homage and its actually made me realise , that i can enjoy a chinese cheap watch as much as the swiss luxury stuff. I turned into a watch snob, and then i realised a watch is just a watch ,no matter how much you pay for it. I still have my collection thats cost me 10k to aquire , but i may sell a few now, because ive gone full circle in my hobby. I doubt i will sell my seiko sla043, as i absolutely love it to bits, but the rest i might sell.

Bro, He showed the casio world time. 2021 I survived a car accident that almost killed me....i was wearing that watch. That watch and I returned from the dead

[@BoccaccioAC]

Totally agree, that a 7000$ watch will not give me 25x times the pleasure of a San Martin or Seiko. The movement isn’t a big argument for me neither. Also an NH35 can run fine or regulated easily and cheaply. It is not relevant to me, if my wristwatch is accurate to the second. My only downside to the new Hommage watch manufactures is service in the long run. But well, for 200 to 300$ you buy a new one, instead of servicing it. I own a omega from 1968. it’s a gem. Magnificent that it runs still 60 years later. But it’s not ideal for everyday wear. On the other hand, I wouldn’t wear a brandnew 7000$ watch every day either.

I have almost 100 watches, many micro brands (Straton, etc) + Tissot, Seiko, Orient, Citizen, Bulova, Vostok, Casio, etc. and Aliexpress Homages (Seastern, Baltany, Red Star, Heimdallr, Steeldive, Addiesdive, Phylida, Parnis, etc.). My collection is probably worth $20,000 or more. I prefer having 100 quality watches than just a few (1-4 watches). Amazing deals out there, for example, the Phylida Tintin Speedmaster with an ST19 (Venus 175 movement) is amazing bang for the buck at $175 compared to the real deal now trading for $12,000. Also the NH35 is a very respectful movement, we really don't need anything more. If it stops working in 20 years, you can replace it for $40.

Only experience and appreciation gets you there, in my first years of watch illness I was after the greatest hits... I've bought some pricey watches such as APs, Lange, VCs, rolexes... Then eventually I step by step went my own route to what I really appreciate in a watch, not anymore interested with the hyped models... And now well my watch inventory value is a fraction of what it used to be and I get more enjoyment. Less is more if you know what really gets you on! I reached a point where my watch box feels complete ( to me) with a reasonable budget and I think it's going to stay so for a while... One GS blue dial, one marine master 300 green dial, one ginault OR2, one sfj001 panda, and one zulu time green bezel. No more crazy expensive watch for me, I've learned my lessons 😊

I see 3 broad categories. The greedy Swiss, the greedy but not as greedy microbrands, and the not greedy great value Chinese watches. The Swiss are greedy AF now. Sure quality is good but most of the mark up is in the name, and paying fat AD real estate rentals and wages. Then there's the microbrands who just farm off production to China and slap on fat margins. Most of their designs are kinda weird as they have to tread carefully to not upset the Swiss, German and Japanese big boys (but mainly the Swiss). Then there's the Chinese. They make basically all the microbrand watches and a large chunk of Swiss watch components. They don't give a rat's ass about IP infringement in their homages, which I think is great. They pump out great quality pieces with slim margins and with great designs that IMHO improve on the designs of the Swiss since the Chinese (unlike the Swiss) actually listen to customer feedback and rapidly respond. The Swiss tend to just ignore feedback, or implement some fixes in a few Baselworld's time (ok Watches and Wonders now). I am really rooting for the Chinese to shake things up in a big way, because the Swiss need their comeuppance and be taken down several pegs. They've lacked innovation for years, while their prices rocket up. Swiss built their industry on copying British and French pocketwatches on the late 18th century - the so-called "Dutch forgeries" funded by Dutch merchants, so it's high-time they got their own back! I've bought multiples of Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Tudor and others but I'm confident that I'll never buy another Swiss watch in my lifetime (unless it's maybe a Christopher Ward) as my general attitude now is - f_ck em!

[@Horologique]

You have summed up the state of the watch industry as it is today, thank you!
