All the watches I have seen in your showcase are remarkable, you have a great eye. Very impressive, I'm really happy you and those aspiring to be like you will ensure that the love for these watches will continue well into the future. I hope you had a great show, thanks, I enjoyed this episode. 😊

Great video, lots of watches shown, lots of knowledge, very relaxing, my only criticism is to include Roman Sharf who I find totally dishonest (Mr Sharf makes videos with fake official Rolex sellers "official Rolex dealer" who was actually someone from his team). Why and who does that?

You could update the title...24' means 24 feet. The abbreviation for 2024 is '24. Apart from that, I love some of the vintage '80s watches, especially the Piaget Polo watches in white gold. They've never made it the top of my must-have list yet, but one of these days, I'll have to get one.

like your stuff but man having Roman Sharf in videos after the Anthony Farrer situation is a really bad look. Guy promoted Anthony and is on video saying he's knows for a fact he's not a scam artist right before he stole $5m from innocent people.

@@dannysimenauer5745 Roman's endorsement speaks volumes? WHAT? He has endorsed 2 people recently that have been caught running ponzi schemes (Anthony and another guy named the Watch Wizard ), not to mention his association with Paul Thorpe whos own son was arrested for selling fake watches. He didn't just endorse Anthony, he also defended him after about 50 other scandals and said he was a great guy.
