Is Jomashop a SCAM? The Grey Market Explained

Don't know if you'll ever read this given the video is 4 years old at the time of this comment: This is information-rich content, straight to the point, no-nonsense content and I so appreciate it.

[@WatchUnwind]

@@phleef thanks for checking out the video. I always read all my comments even four years later lol. I’m glad the video was helpful!

[@happywanderer5632]

I've purchased half-a-dozen watches from Jomashop and have never had a problem. Some of them came with warranty cards, others not, but they all came in an original box, with the booklet and were brand new, with the plastic still on them. I never intend to sell my watches, so I don't care that much about the warranty cards. Without Joma I would not be able to afford the wonderful collection I now have. I don't buy watches to be "display queens", I use my watches, and when I die, I hope each and every watch is broken and worn out because that means I enjoyed them to the fullest.

[@WatchUnwind]

thanks so much for sharing your experiences. I 100% agree with you watches are ment to be worn and jomashop lets it be a reality to own some stuff that would otherwise be out of reach for 99% of the planet. Im glad you are enjoying all your watches !! what is your favorite watch in your collection?

[@SkaterTE]

We buy things to make us men happy. A watch is a true men accessory that is highly value since the beginning of invention of clocks. All “gentleman” who are true to themselves should own a watch no matter what. My advice is , if you don’t own a watch after 21 yrs old... then living everyday would be a struggle since your time isn’t importantly valued.

[@WatchUnwind]

@@SkaterTE I love putting in a watch everyday. Def don’t feel right without it. It’s great to have something you really love, take care of it, and bring it everyday along with you to go through whatever adventures you go through yourself. I agree I think everyone should own a watch but if they don’t then hey more watches for you and me

I ordered a tissot gentleman’s platinum and i ordered it 6 days ago and i have not gotten the confirmation email of it being shipped out yet either

[@Edsergesco]

@@sahl1698 did you ever receive your watch?

[@1tuffbulldog.]

I had a pretty expensive time piece stolen a few months back and Jomashop has an identical piece on their website. I've been looking at theirs for about a week now, but wasn't sure if their pieces were authentic or not. They have many nice pieces with low prices. I don't mind spending money, but you can never go wrong saving money either. I appreciate this video. Thank you sir.

[@WatchUnwind]

Bro I’m sorry to hear that someone stole your watch, that’s horrible. One thing I hate above all else are thieves. Since making this video I have also made a part II where I unbox a Omega Seamaster from Jomashop so you can see exactly what to expect start to finish if you order from them. What is the watch your thinking about buying again?

[@1tuffbulldog.]

My watch was a Revue Thommen Diver XL with the red bezel. However, I did see a Tissot T Race Chrono with the red band and black dial that I like pretty good too. That red band will look good against my skin tone. I saw that Omega watch unboxing. I'm not in that $4k range yet, I have to wait until after college.

[@WatchUnwind]

@@1tuffbulldog. Just looked hot the Diver Xl, it’s a pretty bad ass looking watch. Can’t go wrong with the Tissot either. Smart man, there will be plenty of time to buy higher priced watches in the future once your out of school. I just recently finished school myself that’s what put me in the position to get the Omega, but I got it on Jomashop to save a grand because that’s like a months rent. It’s easy in this hobby to get a distorted sense of reality. I like the two watches you are thinking about. Iv always had a thing for red on watches as well but don’t own any red watches yet. Let me know what you end up getting and keep that thing safe. How did someone end up stealing your original watch anyway?

[@zerox5552]

I totally agree with what you are saying about reduced prices but authenticity is a huge concern for many.

[@WatchUnwind]

That’s why I made this video to ease some minds. If you want to see exactly what you get when you buy a watch from Jomashop checkout my latest video where I do a unboxing of a watch I paid 4,000 bucks for. No issues what so ever and I’m super happy. I know some people have said they have had problems but I never have so I can only share my experiences.

[@tangopete]

Thanks for the explanation bro! I bought Longiness at Jomashop and I’m extremely pleased. I listened to your video cause I’m think of buying an Omega Seamaster.

[@WatchUnwind]

Of course! Nice I have a longines hydroconquest but I bought that from an AD. Hope you subscribe to my channel but go on over to my channel page and I have a “ is jomashop a scam part 2 video” on this video I show a start to finish unboxing of an Omega seamaster I bought from jomashop. Mint condition everything perfect 👌 it’s still running strong and seems to keep perfect time: they did give me a box with it but it’s not the seamaster box i think it’s a female constellation box. I can recommend buying an seamaster from them since I did it myself. I got the blue bezel grey dial. What version are you thinking about? And what model from longines do you have?

[@happywanderer5632]

I bought a new watch from Jomashop and they sent me a USED model with damaged packaging, a manual from a completely different watch and THREE LINKS MISSING from the bracelet! They refused to pay for return shipping and didn't even apologize for sending out a dud watch. I'd heard horror stories about how bad Jomashop customer service is, but thought they were overblown. Not so, the stories are true - Jomashop is AWFUL. You save $$ but buyer beware, they don't give a fig about you as a customer. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’m amazed they are still in business.

[@WatchUnwind]

Sorry you had to deal with that. What was the model watch you bought and what was the end result?

[@happywanderer5632]

@@WatchUnwind I bought an Orient Star Bllue Dial, with power reserve indicator. Nice enough watch, and one for what I call my "popcorn" collection. Not an expensive watch, or a watch I would wear a lot, but it makes for a nice change sometimes and adds to my collection of complications - I didn't have a Power Reserve in my collection. The service from Jomashop was awful and they refused any reasonable remedy, Imagine if it was a Rolex!! I filed a chargeback with Amex and let them deal with it

[@WatchUnwind]

@@happywanderer5632 your right to be pissed off thats pretty messed up and scary because I have actually considered getting that same watch my self for the same reasons. Would be cool to own a power reserve and its a good looking watch from a brand a lot of people seem to like. I feel lucky with my Omega after hearing some of these horror stories. I am happy with my two Joma purchases but in the future may go other routes like reputable used dealers

[@gauravg789]

I just bought a Tudor Pelagos for 4K. Got it today, and it came with the box. But when i opened the watch it seemed like someone took the watch out, put the Jomashop tags (Which if you take off, you cannot return). Then that person throw the watch back in the box. It wasnt even on the pillow. I was shocked, even thinking it was returned watch I got. But after inspecting it, it was totally new as i was able to take off all the clear stickers (Which i don’t think can be placed on the watch that perfectly). I’m over the packing. But for now am satisfied with the watch. Just wish they wouldn’t treat a 4K watch like that.

[@WatchUnwind]

Sorry to hear that was your initial experience. Like you said, the watch is brand new and the Pelagos is a hell of a watch so you still made out good. But for a 4k purchase to throw the watch back in the box and not on the pillow is unacceptable. Your first sight of the watch is one of or not the best part about opening up your new watch.

I totally approve of buying on the "gray market." Reputable dealers will give a limited warranty. Granted, it is not a manufacturer's warranty. However, if you had to deal with the manufacturer, they can take months to send back your watch.

[@WatchUnwind]

Very true, ,I think the pros out weigh the cons, especially on my budget it just makes owning a lot of these watches possible when they wouldn't have been otherwise.

[@bentlyist]

Very informative video, thanks. I have shopped from Joma for years without a problem. But I would NEVER ship a watch back to them for service. I figure if it works well within the 30 day return period, from that point on I treat it as if I purchased a used watch that has no warranty. There are a lot of good and affordable watch repair shops all over the world.

[@WatchUnwind]

Thanks for sharing your experience and thanks for watching. Good way of doing it, your right its easy enough to bring it in to a third party repair shop if need be

I purchased a Omega Blue dial Aqua Terra 41mm from Jomashop they say it was new. it came packaged as the boutique packaged my diver 300M & Planet Ocean. only thing wrong with the Jomashop purchase was the watch was running too slow (-3 to -4 sec/12hrs) and I didn't have the Omega pictogram card or the omega warranty card. I took the watch to Omega Boutique Service Center and Paid to have it complete service to OEM spec of 0.4 sec/per day. I still saved $3000.00

[@ohwell2518]

The 2 things I love getting from Jomashop are colognes and watches, as an average teenager that makes minimum wage it's one of the best places to go to and not have to worry weather something is fake or not. I recently picked up a "gold" Bulova watch from there that I payed $217 with tax compared to the store value having it at $300+; now all I honestly do is go to the store to look at watches put them on to see how they feel then I buy them online at a significant decrease.

[@WatchUnwind]

Glad to hear it brother! It’s the logical thing to do. Go get a feel for it in person but it’s hard to justify spending hundreds more in person for no reason when you can just buy it online. Some people try to justify it but in any other setting it doesn’t make sense. If two McDonald’s across the street had Big Macs one for $5 and one for 19.99 you know where everyone is eating

[@tde2019]

Thanks for this video, you answered my question of where Jomashop gets their inventory from. I bought a pair of polarized Ray Ban sunglasses from them as they were the cheapest I could find anywhere. The sunglasses came today and they are 100% legit so I'm happy. I figured they wouldn't sell a fake $200 item when they are selling watches for tens of thousands of dollars but I still had to be cautious.

9:10 very good point that the savings from gray market will probably exceed whatever extra resale value you can get by having the papers, only point to add to that is that having no papers can sometimes mean it takes longer to sell the watch since people generally prefer to have them & that longer time can push people to drop their price. Overall though great video & well explained 👍

[@WatchUnwind]

That's a good point Shah, thanks for sharing it. I could see it taking a lot longer to sell a watch without the papers. Especially if someone doesn't sell watches often so don't have any reviews on chrono24 or ebay, people might be worried.

I'm split on the grey market. For lower value watches, getting them sans warranty I am ok with (say a $1500-2000 watch for around $500-700). My grail is a Speedy Pro, and to be honest, I'd probably go to an AD for that one even if it costs me more.

[@WatchUnwind]

I can definitely see that point of view. from the time of making this video I have actually bought an omega Seamaster from here and it was perfect. Check my second part to see the unboxing of that if your interested. I have also bought a Rolex from an AD so I can see the appeal of getting a high end watch straight from the AD with box and papers for the peace of mind. Speedy pro is an awesome watch and a lot of money so if it’s your grail and your going to keep it forever then maybe get it at an AD. When I bought my seamaster I couldn’t personally justify spending the extra grand to buy straight from omega because i live in Alaska and there is no AD here. I would have had to order it online and get a box to my house either way.

[@Fifty_Jay]

@Watch and Unwind One key factor that was left out of the boutique buying experience. Is the building of a purchase history and relationship with a boutique or AD. This element can save you thousands on future purchases. A relationship could get you harder to get pieces, boutique only additions, at retail. Prior to 2018 you were considered a sucker for purchasing at a boutique. Authenticity was always my main concern and reason for going that route. Today KZbin is littered with videos of Authorized Dealers holding back pieces for loyal customers. If you were loyal to the Gray Market then, you have to pay the premiums now!😂😂😂

[@WatchUnwind]

Thanks for the input Juan you make some strong points. And to be fair you can often get some great deals at a good AD as well. I know E.D. Marshall who worked with my for my Frank Muller And Ulysse Nardin hands on videos always has some pretty competitive prices on their watches. If you can afford it and there is not a GIANT price discrepancy than AD is the way to go. Great point as well on the relationship building, but I think it matters who the client is. Some people just don’t have the means to buy multiple watches and will probably just own one “luxury” watch their entire life. If it’s a true 3x price difference on their dream watch the grey market might make it a possible when buying it at a AD is just a pipe dream. I should make another video just on the pros of buying from an AD. There is not black and white answer the answer to if the grey market is definitely in the grey.

I was just looking at their website because I haven’t heard of them before. I couldn’t tell if they were a true AD or grey market but it sounds like you got a good deal. Taxation is theft I am about you didn’t pay 💰.

Thank you so much indeed! After watching a few videos about Jomashop, some good some bad, I decided to order a Hamilton there, mainly because it's not easy to find one in where I live. It took less than a week from ordering to arriving, and the watch looks fine, without any issues, at least so far. Some other comments said they ordered and watches never arrived, then it was hard to get hold of the customer service, I guess I'm lucky. It kinda gives me confidence to order again there someday, probably not the very expensive ones, which I should buy from local AD. Thanks again, cheers!

[@WatchUnwind]

I’m glad that I could help! Please stick around and subscribe to the channel it helps out a lot. I own a Hamilton it’s a great watch and Jomashop is where I got mine. I would prob buy an expensive watch there if the price was right but I can’t lie I’d be a bit nervous as well. To tell you the truth it’s actually kind of funny last week I ordered a Breitling superocean on Jomashop but the order didn’t go through because I live in Alaska and put my PO Box as my address and they only deliver to residential addresses in Alaska. I was going to order it again but decided I’d try to Rolex AD near my house to see what they had in stock. Haven’t had the chance to yet. So I’m deciding between a Rolex at retail or a Breitling for 30% off on Jomashop. I hope you enjoy the heck out of your Hamilton. I wore my Hamilton today ! It will always have a place in my collection

Great video. Comprehensive explanation and now I have a good understanding of what I'm getting into. Thanks so much. Jomashop has the watch I want for $1300 less than retail. Still not sure what I'm going to do, but at least I've got the information.

[@icychap]

@@WatchUnwind Thanks man. I'm looking at a 38 mm Aqua Terra (new 8800 calibre), black dial. I tried it on at the shop, loved it. Dealer is a good guy, feel bad if I don't buy from him since he took time with me, going through 15 or so watches, and I like supporting brick and mortar, local, etc. - but at the same time, $1300 is a lot of coin. What do you think?

[@WatchUnwind]

@@icychap that’s a great choice I love my Omega it hangs right up there with my Rolex or anything else. I was really close to buying an Aquaterra but ended up going with the professional. The aquaterra is the more versatile watch though. You can wear that casually anywhere you go, into the ocean, or to a wedding and it would look awesome in every occasion. That is the hard choice and I also like to support local but like you said 1300 is a lot of money. You could always tell him the truth and say “I was looking around and I found this watch for 1300 cheaper online. I know you probably can’t come down that much but is there anything you could do because I’d like to buy it from you” if he could go down somewhat at least the extra you pay would be for the peace of mind and for the warranty. Like I said iv had good luck on jomashop but I have heard horror stories from some viewers, not sure how true or not they have been. When I got my seamaster I was definitely pretty nervous until I opened it up even though I felt strongly it was a good decision. If that 1300 is better spent somewhere else like something for your family, to pay down debt, or a good vacation to build a memory with than you might want to save the money and go jomashop. Whatever you do just think on it a little bit you already saved up for the watch and we’re patient so think on it, no rush then you can make the best decision. Pros and cons for each. Where I am at in life right now we’re expecting a little girl in a few months so I’d go the cheaper route as I end with the same product that that money can go to put my family in a better situation. Please subscribe to the channel to keep in touch and let me know what you decide I want to hear about when you get your watch.

[@icychap]

@@WatchUnwind The other thing that has me thinking is the warranty card. This is my first luxury watch. I intend to wear it basically every day. I have no idea whether "papers" are important, if I will realistically need covered service, etc. Thoughts?

[@WatchUnwind]

@@icychap the warrenty covers the movement only so any wear and tear is not covered. I have always bought from jomashop with the mindset that if something went wrong sending it to omega to fix would probably cost less than the difference I saved. I have actually never serviced any of my watches or anything and they all have been working pretty spot on. One thing to consider is with papers you could resell the watch for more if you ever had to sell that’s the big area where papers are important but you didn’t pay as much in the first place if you get it without papers so it kind of equals out. Congrats on buying your first luxury watch it’s a big accomplishment and it’s going to feel awesome to have on wrist everyday!!

[@ClosertoBooks]

My issue is not necessarily with the gray market, if you’re not buying a very expensive watch. My issue is with Jomashop itself, and its customer service in the event that there’s a problem with their shipping. I’ve never dealt with more obnoxious people in customer service ever. I asked for somebody at the chain of command in customer service to contact me, but I got nothing. Once Jomashop gets your money, they straight up don’t care - that’s at least my experience. I finally got my watch, thanks to my neighbor on the farther end of the street. And I’m happy with it. But it was a good lesson learned.

[@WatchUnwind]

How did you neighbor help you did they drop the watch off to him instead of you?

[@ClosertoBooks]

@@WatchUnwind Yes. After the watch was delivered to the wrong place, it was just marked as “delivered” in Jomashop’s electronic system. The customer service rep didn’t know how to do anything but parrot the talking point that the watch had been delivered and then tell me that nothing could be done now. For me, it was like talking to a robot, except that the customer service rep was more aggravating than any robot could ever be. Customer service only requires a willingness to listen and then try to get to the bottom of the problem at hand. I don’t understand why any company would pay their customer service reps to just aggravate and ultimately alienate their customers.

@@bricenguessan8829 thank you ! And It’s a big move the Seamaster is the most expensive watch in my collection and took years of saving until I was ready. It cost more than many of my old used cars lol . “entry level” brands are still amazing and something to be very proud of. It’s easy in this hobby to lose track of reality, for most people even 200 or 300 on a watch is a large amount of money. In regard to some of the best brands around that price point I think that Hamilton is definitely worth checking out and so is Longines. Both owned by the same group that owns Omega but one level down the Rosen pole. My first entry level Swiss watch was a Longines Hydroconquest and I absolutely love mine. I do like the look of the newer Tags. I think as a brand they are starting to put out some really great designs and make a strong come back. Some of there designs are starting to look a lot like Zenith, and Hublot which I personally like because their head designer is now the same man who worked on those brands. I would 100% go with automatic. Never have to worry about a dead battery and a lot of the fun with watches is it’s cool that they are able to operate and regulate time mechanical. For your first watch go with what your heart tells you but check out Hamilton, oris, and Longines in addition to the Tag you are considering. Always buy what speaks to you in this hobby.

If your worried about something like that I would just buy on credit card if there is an issue left in resolved you could always do a charge back

[@sebstienchery6227]

Hey my name is Sebastien chery I have a question I also see they sell Close and shoes and belt are they Real or fake

[@WatchUnwind]

They are definitely real but I have no experience in that area

[@sebstienchery6227]

Thank you so much I appreciate I will be shopping there

[@Stover205]

The fact that I can purchase a watch from Joma for more than something I have to wait for is exceptable to me. For most other watches I can purchase them for far less. I'm good with Joma. I have purchsed over a dozen watches from low to high price, Never had issues.

[@WatchUnwind]

Definitely agree iv only had good experiences since making this video I also picked up a seamaster from them

[@insane_troll]

1:52 - Why would anyone buy a watch that doesn't survive the throwing down a flight of stairs test?

[@WatchUnwind]

I have though the same thing my self

[@ivanmejia6843]

Do new Omega's from Jomashop have the serials intact or are they erased on the lugs?

[@WatchUnwind]

My omega had its serial numbers in tact. Please take a look at my last video it’s a follow up to this video where I inbox an Omega Seamaster so you can see exactly what you get when you buy an omega from jomashop

[@demayoexperience]

First time I hear about Jomashop. I just want to buy a pair of Ray Bans they have them listed for $89 How long does the delivery take? I’m in the US East coast. Is this a site that you have to wait like 30-60 days?

[@WatchUnwind]

It should have listed what the standard delivery is I recently bought an omega seamaster from Jomashop and and I picked next day shipping because I really wanted it and they were able to send it to Alaska where I live now the next day. They are located in New York so I would think the standard shipping to the east coast would be pretty quick. I am originally from the east coast, Massachusetts.

[@demayoexperience]

@@WatchUnwind thank you for your response. This really helps. I’m in Philly so it shouldn’t take too long. Thanks

[@dylanklumbach363]

Been looking at a Hamilton Boulton. Jomashop has it for about 30% off, and I have an additional 20% off the regular $630 price tag directly from Hamilton. What would you recommend doing?

[@WatchUnwind]

Hey Dylan, Sorry I did not get to you into 3 days later. I am usually faster but have been hiking around the mountains of Colorado without service. In this case since the price disparity is so close I might have to go directly from Hamilton. I think it could go either way honestly. If you really want to save the money go Joma but if you want the warranty and piece of mind a 10 percent difference isn't to bad.

[@JoseTheRover]

Amazing explanation!

[@WatchUnwind]

Thanks for watching José I appreciate it. I’m glad the video helped you out. Is their a watch your thinking about getting?

[@JoseTheRover]

@@WatchUnwind I’m thinking about the Navitimer 46 and the JLC Master Control Geographic

[@WatchUnwind]

@@JoseTheRover couldn’t go wrong with either! I love breitling I always told myself I’d own one omega one Rolex and one breitling and right now I’m just missing the breitling. JLC would be amazing though as well. Since filming this video I actually ended up buying an omega seamaster from jomashop and i unbox it in video so please that that video out too to see exactly what you get.

Hello. I had no knowledge of English, I found the translation. I ordered a watch, I looked on your website and it says Open box/non-standard problem: scratches on the back cover and bezel? Didn't you use a clock on the sat? Jomashop.

[@WatchUnwind]

I think it means that the watch got damaged some how but it was technically never worn. I’d think of it more as a used watch at that point.

[@MDOOMBot]

Most I have spent on JS is 2.5k and my watch was still under warranty somehow lol.

[@WatchUnwind]

That’s awesome!! I don’t think that’s the norm but if it happens that’s definitely an added plus. What was the watch?

[@Гдетовмире]

what does it mean on the watch, Open box/non-standard problem: scratches on the back cover and bezel?

[@WatchUnwind]

It means that the watch is new but the box was opened and it somehow got scratched in these places. Maybe by the jeweler or the manufacturer. Or it could have been a display case model. I’d consider it preowened at that point.

I had just ordered some acqua di gio Profumo about a week ago and I was curious if they email you when they ship it out

[@WatchUnwind]

I would think that they would email you when they ship out but to be honest I don’t remember 100% if they did. I have now bought two items from jomashop. With my second I’m pretty sure I got a tracking number and they let me know

[@oceanzzz8792]

@@WatchUnwind ok cause I had been watching videos and people say shipping is horrible

[@WatchUnwind]

@@oceanzzz8792 I spent 5k on jomashop and was ok so I think you will be ok, just give it some time
