Only just catching up with this video Charlie, just back from Miami burning the candle at both ends. Fascinating insight you've given there and a very interesting back story. I really enjoyed the format it was good to hear something a bit more personal and a bit less watch orientated on this occasion. I hope you will manage to take a well deserved holiday this year buddy, keep on truckin'.

Really great story Charlie! Lots of respect for the hustle! I started delivering newspapers at 10, worked fast food, delivered pizza, got into IT and then finally broke into tech. To this day I always tip delivery drivers well because I still remember the best tip I received. It was $16 on a $24 order. The gentleman handed me two $20 bills and told me to keep the change. I told myself I wanted to be successful and generous like that one day.

I noticed you’ve had that beautiful Daytona clock the whole time. I bet you got it for a much better price than today! I’m really wanting a role clock for my house and if i had a business id obviously put it in there. It’s not big and obvious but my eye is always drawn to it and it just adds so much class to the minimal decor. You don’t see the Daytona clock in dealers, its usually just the one you see at Wimbledon, which is still amazing and so iconic. I can’t believe your boutique is situated in this mansion. That is next level mate. So happy for your success and I applaud your non stop hard work. You are a proper grafter and its inspiring to see you stated from the bottom which is where I’m at so you’re going to motivate me bro. My goal is to have a real Rolex and I would pick a nice DateJust. I have a mint condition sapphire Omega Speedy tucked away safely in its huge box with all the paperwork. However I don’t think any Rolex AD would be interested in trading it in towards the DJ. If anyone reads this who would be interested in a pretty much mint condition 2022 Sapphire speedy just drop me a response. Definitely get in touch if you could help me get a DJ 41 (Green or Blue) and I’d happily trade in what was my grail watch, plus cash. Both watches actually wear similarly and feel similar but the speedy obviously has that wonderful chronograph. So I would say if you like the look of a DJ but also fancy a chrono function, then this would be a good match. I have full box and papers from when I bought it from the AD last May.

Yes they are great decorative pieces and look great anywhere, even your home! But yes, as with all things they are unfortunately more expensive than they used to be. We are incredibly lucky to be located where we are, the surrounding area is so stunning and adds to the whole experience for when you visit us in the Boutique. I'm so pleased I have inspired you, I really appreciate it. If you set your goals and work towards them you will have your first Rolex in no time I'm sure, and you are more than welcome to come in and get it from us, we would love to meet you! We currently do have a DJ41 Mint green in stock, if you want to email me over at info@theluxurywatchcompany.com I can let you know the details. All the best mate, and I look forward to hearing from you.

This was great, HOWEVER, the only thing I challenge is the fact that a person can start a watch business with 25k. You quoted resale prices on that Sprite, and getting that Sprite at retial will yeild you a lot more. Be patient because slow and steady wins the race, and moving slowly gives the entrepreneur a live lesson of the process and what is needed to scale.

@thehonestwatchdealer Very true(at this stage you're at), but as a dealer, you aren't paying 20k for a Sprite. You are paying wholesale prices of 16k if the value is 20k. Can you honestly share insight on the wholesale standpoint. We get the current market price spiel but need you to be HONEST(pun intended) and give insight on the back end. Not full details but even general insight. Because you implied people can't start with 25k in this market and that's not true. It only takes 1 watch to start

Fantastic back story Charlie, wish you further success. I have to ask though, looking at one of your older photos you seemed to have less hair then. Have you had a hair transplant?😊 All the best, Harry

The story about how they got ya on that fake watch would be interesting. Was it an issue of circumstancial due diligence or was it really that good of a replica?

How can we trust when the Watch is ‚unworn‘ but with no stickers?

@thehonestwatchdealer 11 ай бұрын
If you buy of the right dealer they will confirm if it’s genuinely unworn or not. It’s actually quite easy when you have had thousands of watches through your hands.

If the UK is the cheapest place to buy a Rolex, where is more expensive? Why not rent a private place and fly stock out to a second boutique?

Sorry everyone wanted to ask this one the latest video my comment isn't related to this video but i was just offered £11,430 for my 126613 LB bluesy 2021 with box and papers this is way off my expectations. I turned them down flat as this is not even retail price. Am i being unrealistic with my expectations? Thank you.

As a general marker look up same model/year/country on Chrono24 and expect traders to operate on a 30% margin. Often higher on less sought after bi-metal, and of late, precious metal models.

To be fair here… first time you came with that storey it was 250£ above retail. Which one is it…? That being said, if you want to sell and a grey dealer offer you above retail, take the money and run. Many will offer you less.

He will tell you how heavenly rare a watch is when he wants you to buy. The opposite is true when you try to sell him one. Just use common sense, how rare can it be when he offers you $150 above retail? This feller doesn’t blink an eye when lying. UNBELIEVABLE! But true…. 😂
