Many watches are in the same catagory. Investment watches you never wear. They sit inside a protective Watch Case Box with a display window so you can see those expensive watches you have invested cash in. Vacheron Constantin, Bell & Ross, Richard Mille etc. Wearing them? Become scratched or stolen. Is like walking around with a Davinci or Monet painting under your arm.

I did not know that about the KZbin Play button awards. That is terrible, can't believe there is no recourse there. You definitely have earned positive recognition, keep up the wonderful videos and hopefully KZbin will eventually officially recognize it too.

[@Georgeplaysmusic]

To the last point. I am a massive enthusiast and bought my first luxury watch this summer (BB58) which I know is relatively beginner in this space - I went on holiday and wore it in the sea, jumping off things, snorkelling etc. wasn’t sure if I would but having the insurance gave me confidence and it was absolutely awesome. Looking at it whilst diving deep under water gave me immense satisfaction. Worth a try!

I might have missed you addressing the Rolex Wait List Shrinking on this video. The cutest video of yours have to be the one when your husband gave you one of your Rolexes and you were at your Office and went crazy. Super cute. Traveling to Switzerland, France and Italy recently, I took my Hamilton Intramatic (most expensive on the trip), my Tissot Chrono and my Galaxy Watch on a roll and kept it in my very safe backpack hidden compartment, when not on my wrist. No problem at all. Loved this video too.

Jenni, my favorite and I think your best video is also the Ulysse Nardin video. You absolutely nailed your presentation, as well as articulating your thoughts and the history/philosophy of a subject NOBODY else thought to explore in the watch space. It was genuinely fascinating. Most of the watch space has become almost entirely highly technical or "market analysis" BS and outside of when someone covers Grand Seiko the artistry and history is absent despite being one of the primary reason watches are even still around.

[@braydencromar]

I really appreciate your channel, Jenni. I think you have one of the best watch channels around. Keep up the good work! Best wishes!

[@chriscon8463]

Regarding scratches: I don’t go out of my way to scratch my watch (BB58), but I do wear it all the time & scratches happen. I have a friend that keeps his nice watch in his dresser because he’s scared to scratch it. What is he keeping it nice for…so he can eventually give his kids a watch that sat in a drawer? I want to pass on something to my kids that they know was a part of me & with me through life.

[@davidowen2859]

Absolutely agree.

[@mitchaelhollingsworth1698]

i mean you might wear a casio g shock while you change oil and mow the lawn instead of a cartier tank, but i get the spirit of what you say. ownership isn't what makes an heirloom special, the memories do. my dad said when he was little and acting up in church his mom would give him her watch for him to wind and listen to the time tick as the service went on. i thought it was a really sweet moment enblematic of what makes watches special.

[@peternguyen8282]

So true. These watches are just a hobby and for some a passion, but the money is better spent on experiences with loved ones and not material things! My quartz timex, moonswatch and casiaok bring me as much joy to look at as my Rolex's

[@dixonstreetdrummer1846]

I recently went to a Rolex boutique after initial e-mail contact and appointment making. I arrived for my appointment with my teenage son. My intention being he’d remember the day I bought the watch when it passes onto him. We arrived around 10 minutes late… one other customer in the store. It took around 20 minutes for someone to attend to us. We were then seated at one of the two desks in the store and attended to by a very polite lady. After some polite conversation which involved me being asked what I done for a living, what car I drove, what my wife worked as and other general fact finding, I was informed my chosen piece was not available but I would be made aware when one was. I wonder if I was a famous celebrity there would be one available… This was 6 months ago. Still not heard anything. I’ve recently seen the new air king being sold for twice it’s retail value. I don’t understand. If Rolex want to be so exclusive, why not charge the same price for a new one as they are going for in the pre owned market ? They have become utterly snobbish. For a company who were initially making tool watches and have questionable claims to holding various records etc. they really need to keep themselves in check. I’ve decided to look elsewhere for a tough, lasting watch as the brand have failed to impress me enough as a buyer to actually purchase one. In addition, anyone paying more than the original price for something other than historical or extremely rare is an idiot.

[@hans5594]

Du verstehst es nicht. Sie haben einfach keine Uhren. Jeder denkt er sei speziell und muss besser bedient werden. Es kommen im Tag hundert Leute in den Laden.

[@chrisgrieves1468]

One the same page. For Rolex AD prices for a fairly ordinary if well-made mass-production watch you can buy something hand-made and finished by a master watchmaker. Made in the hundreds per year not a million. THAT would be more special to pass on to your son. From someone who cares about you as an individual client, not looked down the nose at.

[@brunogardien5600]

In the end your son might prefer an Omega. They have been an active sponsor of the Olympic games since 1932 and they are friendly and passionate about the watches that they manufacture. And at some point you may even decide to pay them a visit in Bienne ! 😎😎😎

[@jeffreykilpatrick3592]

Rolex is not snobby ,- they make too few watches to meet the demand. If they sell you a watch they have given you money typically. And they always sell at msrp. They sell the watches as a thank you to their best jewelry customers. You would do the same….

[@Luca-xh7ng]

If I am there to purchase a watch and the seller asks me what car I drive I would tell them to fuck off even if I drove a Ferrari.

[@vessela7484]

Haha as a South African, I found the watch in the car story so funny. We NEVER ever leave valuables in the car. First of all, if they're visible, you're looking to get your windows smashed, but also the risk of getting your car stolen is so high, I'd much rather take my chances wearing my watch on me than to leave it in the glove box.

[@brucegibbins3792]

I must confess to preferring the Items I buy and own to be in excellent condition. I do acknowledge that in some items wear can give extra character to an Item. This may, or may not include watches in the eyes of some folks. I've read that, and this was hand bag specific, but applies equally to high end watches. Here it was suggested that there is a place for a fake. Keep the genuine item to wear on special, dress to impress, occasions, but routinely in high risk environments-city streets for example, night clubs, another.

[@Spongefov]

hardened steel/titanium should really become a standard across tool watches/luxury watches - it makes sense to preserve the look and add durability. if a brand like zelos can sell hardened watches at $500/600 i think large watch brands could introduce another tier to their models, if even to justify their over inflated prices some more

I wish more enthusiasts would demand more from watchmakers concerning case materials! Coming from the world of edc knives, it is kind of shocking how sloppy watchmakers are when it comes to material thinking. Damasko is my hero in this context, not just because the surface harden their steel, but because they are also willing to refurbish them!!! Sinn won’t do this with their tegiment watches. Damasko deserve WAY more credit for their engineering integrity.

[@jsusna1972]

My brother modded his Sea Dweller with an aluminum green bezel. It's a darker green and sometimes looks black until the light hits it at the right angle. He doesn't plan on ever selling it but has the original black bezel in the event he ever decides to do so.

[@Helmspete7961]

There may be creative ways to reduce scratches. Deciding which hand to wear it; wearing watch wrist down, or wearing long sleeve shirts are ideas. Also am wondering if certain metals like titanium would be another idea to go to war with scratches.

[@romanmichaelhamilton8729]

Although titanium is lighter, has more tensile strength and more heat resistant, it is a total scratch magnet. There is an Omega Planet Ocean that I've been wanting, but have been reluctant as it's all titanium and will be a real problem with scratches.

I waited 3 months (june to september) for my first Rolex, it was a mint green DJ36 fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet. I might be really lucky though.

[@vb5396]

On my opinion watches (same goes for rings) look great when they are either in mint condition or well used with a great patina. So when i got my new 126610LN Sub i was crying over every single new scratch but after wearing it a LOT it now just looks even more beautiful. Many scratches add up to a beautiful harmony like many skew singing voices add up nicely to an amazing chorus... so don't worry! Watches age beautifully.

Greetings from Singapore. It’s nice seeing ppl in the states getting their Rolex from the AD quicker. Over here, nothing has change. Prices did drop but the AD are still playing the “pairing” game. Want a Submariner? Pair it with a Hublot. In terms of replica watches. I can’t say I hate them. I did consider to buy them because, I really like the looks of it and getting it at retail from the AD is just impossible without having to sell your organs 😂 Someone I know recently wanted to purchase a 37mm Royal Oak, she got the call from the AP boutique. Price over here is around SGD37k and they will only sell it to her if she also buy a SGD70k CODE 11.59 That’s over SGD100k! So, I totally get why Replica exist and why some people buy them. Imo, spending 100k just to get a 30k plus watch is stupid and no company should do that kind of shit.

[@theclerksays]

I'm from SG as well and I agree this practice is nonsense but is sadly still rampant. Not sure if anything can be done about it. In SG, its always the buyers that lose out as we have weak consumer laws here.

Reason why the replica market flourishes, and the high end ones are literally indistinguishable from real unless you use a microscope. Forcing them to pay a 70k "tax" to wear a 30k watch ? Hahahahaha

When ever I travel....a G-Shock is all I wear! I have had watches of mine in the past disappear from my luggage...even when I locked my bag! My 89 year old mother was a professional seamstress... as she had some very exclusive clients that she made dresses, coats, skirts, etc. Usually she got patterns from Vogue Magazine for her clients. She still sews, mainly for my sister and herself now! I have the opposite problem with my wrist...mine are very large! But...I am 6'6" in bare feet...closer to 6'8" in my Reebok basketball shoes...and my wrist is 23 cm....9 inches! I mainly wear a 47 mm watch because it looks normal on me. I owned a Rolex in the 1980's, but got rid of it and purchased 2 really nice Seiko's to replace the Rolex! I had money left over too! Today...wouldn't buy one even if I had the money....most of them are like, what my wife calls them, an old mans watch! An IWC Top Gun watch...now that's a cool watch!

I scratched my Tudor putting it in my gym bag while training. Pretty stupid but scratched the side of case. Got a case for it so that never happens again. As far as scratches though I never will sell watches I buy. I would sooner give them to my kids. My thought is if you can’t afford it you shouldn’t buy it. Now as far as Rolex after the whole selling mainly to flippers for a few years I refuse to buy. I actually like Breitling better. They are very underrated.

[@balesjo]

I would estimate that 90% of the scratches and dings I've ever caused to my watches over the years have been due to knocking my watch against doorframes (and one time chipped a crystal when I brushed to close to a brick corner of a building). Also, I am also one who does not care for a lot of complications on my watches. And if the watch has an especially attractive dial, even a date window is one complication too many. I prefer balanced design in the watches I buy.

Hope the Rolex wait list is shrinking - 4 years in waiting for GMTII Master, from AD with Rolex purchase history. Avoided playing the buy other brands to move up the list game. If offered a YM40 with slate dial, would strongly consider it. (Could always flip it, not my style, I avoid grey-market, silly I know).

Hi Jenni! I really love your videos and so great to have a woman's view on watches. I recently got into loving watches and learning about the brands, history and best value for money. I'm on the waitlist for a Rolex but just can't wait and I think i wi go for a hamilton open heart. What is your opinion on hamilton? It is difficult to find automatic watches 36-37-38mm. It seems that a lot of women's watches are shrunk down and quartz :( Love your channel thanks a lot for the great information you always share with us! 🤩😍🥰😘

[@GA-1st]

How refreshing! Love your videos! Scratches? I hate them. That's why I wear a beater watch for everyday carry, and only wear my more expensive watches for "special" occasions. To each their own! I love the fact you openly admit that luxury watches are not "worth" the prices the companies charge. Unlike art, there is some inherent value. But so much is what the market will bear; or what one is willing to pay. Not everyone agrees with this sentiment, however. I definitely have a limit, but I'm not wealthy so I don't have a choice! I've never lost a watch, but lost a very expensive pocket knife. A rare, high demand custom knife with titanium handles that collectors will recognize. Somehow the belt sheath fell off. The clip was much too flimsy for such a special knife. I don't know what I was thinking. It was totally my fault, and it kills me even now, almost two decades later!

We are living in times of contradictions and uncertainty as it seems people get the call quicker than they thought but on the other end ADs here in Switzerland are refusing to add people on the wait list because they can't provide.

[@emileevans9747]

A watch with a Tungsten case is best to avoid scratches.

[@brianpercival1829]

All my watches were scratched and broken. Finding bargains in Pawn Shops, Estate Sales they come with their own patina. All watches get tender loving care with a full service I do myself, completly torn down washed cleaned aand damage repaired buffed out to near new condition. A total restoration would mean replacxing the case with a new case, new crystal, new back cover, new watch spring. It's all part of the hobby. Most of the fun is the hunt for a special watch. Some watches you cannot wear out casually. The watches over $5000 you become a target. Even a Tudor Black Bay might get you in trouble. Wear a nice Seiko or Citizen and nobody bothers you.

Stickers on watches - lol! Man that’s hilarious. What’s next? Wrap yourself in bubble wrap and wear a motorcycle helmet and goggles to protect yourself on the streets. Relax into the patina I say, it really does give a watch character believe it or not. They can always be removed at a future service.

This is the first time I ever heard anyone take such a neutral stance towards replica watches. I feel the same way. If someone I know wears one and tries to pass it off as real, I wouldn't care enough to start a fight over it.

[@papricep6248]

The cheapest and most effective way to protect a Rolex from scratches is to put a single layer of electrical tape on the case and bracelet. Bonus that you get a cool stealth black look if done well.

Just got the call today for a 2022 Rolex Submariner 126610LN. Have no history with the AD and was put on the list on July 28, 2022. I thought it was a mistake but when I called it was legit. I'm so pumped to get it.

I’m proud to say all my Rolex watches are used. I too don’t care for the ‘authorised’ dealers in my area. However I always wanted one, so I hit eBay, pawn shops, etc. I’ve been able trade up over the years- knowing that they will need repair. I appreciate a little ‘petina’ (I know I spelled wrong). I like learning about the different models. I don’t make money on these, jus enough to keep parlaying into the next watch. I do not support fakes at all. Jenni - Like channel- I’m still warming up this boom mic and ‘radio station/podcast’ look, I liked more natural look from your earlier uploads. Still good content. Thanks

What a breath of fresh air she is, makes a change from the usual ego-based offerings elsewhere.

Luxury to one person is almost unlimited price, while to another person it is say £1,000

Man honestly. Stickers on watches... just wear the watch! They're made to be enjoyed. All this protection just takes away from the fun. But that's just personal opinion And a grumpy p.s. really had enough of Rolex talk and people worrying about waiting lists. There are so many amazing alternatives to the hyped inflated rolex pieces (for me in any case) .. the fact that I can get an IWC , Omega, JLC , VC and Lange even, for the price of a hyped Rolex model makes me really NOT want a Rolex. They're great watches, but FOR ME there is so much more elegance and history and quality to be had at the same price. I can get a gold beautiful watch for the price of a sub... for example..or a lovely thin JLC with a fantastic movement. And I've tried many on. The Rolexes are heavy and bulky in many cases. The other brands I've tried make some incredible pieces... this is just my opinion. Once I let go of Rolex, I became a happier watch geek. That's probably just me

Absolute Legend. The play button issue is really unfortunate. I hope youtube will reconsider. 💪

[@jamesblonde2271]

my watchmaker once told me, " if you can't afford to scratch it, you can't afford it" True say.

[@michaelriera6277]

I don’t think it is an issue of affording to fix but rather keeping something special in as much of its original state as possible. Some care, others don’t.

Regarding the increase in Watch theft - If you wouldn't be comfortable walking around with 10K in cash, wearing a Submariner is probably not a good option. So don't save up all your money to buy a grail and treat it as a daily wearer (you might even want to reconsider purchasing a grail in the first place). Your daily wearer should be something you won't go into cardiac arrest if you lose it or have to hand it over to muggers.

[@marcwalden8054]

Thats what insurance is for

[@cajanir]

@@marcwalden8054 Possibly, though premiums may become ridiculously expensive with the increase in watch theft. Also, insurance doesn't protect you from any serious physical or psychological trauma as a result of the mugging.

Any stickies for Omega Seamaster NTTD ?

[@simonj5615]

They are bound to shrink fast on some models as they are no longer worth more than the retail price. When that happens they can phone around and go through a waiting list in 5 minutes because the buyers do not want them any more.
