all you have in this life is your word, the man who owes you a diamond bracelet, I definitely would not do business with him of any kind until he keeps his

[@15654lawol]

What a feast for the eyes and soul this episode was. Some super looking watches, loving the white gold watches , personally I wouldn't care if it looks like stainless steel to others, its what I know that matters :). I think they should make a pocket hologram version of Carlos so when we have some negotiating to do we can just pull Carlos out and have him seal the deal for us. Super diamond ring a the end, I just cant help loving those diamonds whether they be on a watch, ring or bracelet etc. Much love as always from London UK x

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you my friend from across the pond! I'm glad that you liked this episode. This one is very important to us because it's the first one where we feature our new sponsor, Masterworks. Ditto on your assessment of Carlos during important deals. 😉

[@magicmike7198]

The father and the son. The experience passed down from one generation to the next. I love it when Carlos and Charlie go "fishing" together. CRM cap on their head, their reputation precedes them. I especially love seeing the reactions of other jewelers when they see our favorite Cuban duo. A form of respect is mixed with a form of amusement. Impossible not to smile in their presence. Add to that the seriousness and assured calm of Dan who walks behind and the forbidden elegance of Natalie who hypnotizes everyone around her, you have a thundering team! One sees such a cohort of merry jewelers and what can one say but: CRM! It is always captivating to witness the sales techniques of Carlos who always speaks with his guts and who makes the exchanges between traders like an exchange between brothers. I constantly smile when I see him hold out his hand in agreement without the other having agreed to anything. An implicit way to force the other to shake hands faster than expected... Carlos is not the only one to use this technique, but something in his passionate gaze makes you almost want to shake hands mechanically without knowing why... As for Charlie, his joy and love of life makes people instantly want to give him gifts (13:45) in addition to being his forever friend. And speaking of wanting to give gifts, Natalie shouldn't ask which bracelet should she get (around 25:11), but rather which bracelet will fight for the honor of being worn by her. Diamonds have no impact on her beauty. It is her charm that has an impact on diamonds. They change color and blush with intimidation. Just like the days of the week that all wish they were Tuesday. So they can be CRM day.

[@Crmjewelers]

Hey my brother. I'm glad that you liked this episode. It was a great treat to see the father-and-son team in action again, especially when interacting with other jewelers. It was a lot of fun and we plan to do this again during this week or next. Natalie says that her beauty still needs diamonds. 😜 Stay blessed and give a big hug to your boys and rest of the fam on our behalf! 🙏

[@magicmike7198]

@@Crmjewelers Ha! Ha! Ha! I have no doubts about Natalie. it's not for nothing that they say that a diamond is a girl's best friend... I hope she finds her prince charming. As for the father-and-son tag team, I was just going to add how fun it would be to see more of them. What fascinates me the most is always the reaction in the eyes of other jewelers or dealers. You guys are so respected and loved! I am always proud to be one of your fans. Be blessed too! Until next week :)

Legit jewelry business question here, please. I’m having issues with USPS and not receiving my jewelry inventory, it’s always some issue with that carrier but recently nothing is arriving and it’s killing my sales this past two weeks. I’m tempted to fully stop buying/selling and set up a new receiving method with fedex/ups and cut out usps 100% from my business affairs but my sellers I buy from only use USPS. Should I cut my sellers out also if they don’t want to ship to me? I’m sorta damed if I do and damed if I don’t in this lack of new inventory to work with.

Nahhh man, the Indian diamond dealer has always seemed cool but now I can't really look at him the same because he made a bet and didn't keep his word.

Dude was clinging to that yellow gold gmt / green dial like a life preserver … Carlos is a buyer …would have picked up other pieces on the same visit and perhaps repeat down the road. Drives me crazy these guys that think they have to make rent on every trade.

[@francis9235]

I wouldn’t be so quick to knock flippers or resellers. That’s where you guys make your best margins on buying - and the content you post encourages retail customers to engage with buying, selling and collecting. There’s still plenty of margin on watches when purchased at retail - when you add in a dealers cut is where your margin goes away (at least for the seller). I’ve had offers from CRM for 20% below what you would retail them for. So there was healthy margin there, just not for me…

[@jjl499]

8500-10500 what a profit! Is the industry standard 10%? When you receive a great deal do you pass that deal along or try and get the max value for the watch no matter if bought right or not? Just asking for lnowledge

[@Crmjewelers]

You always try to sell a product for close to its market value, but when it comes to luxury watches, the great deals will be balanced by crappy deals over time. Overall, the profit margins will be low over time.

sorry to say but masterworks is mostly shite. Most of the stuff never sells and the wins they display are the only big wins. Some of the art is not even owned by them. Should do some digging into them before partnering ;)! There also is the thing about a three-ten year holding period for art, even after a sale, before money is paid. Imagine 10000 people invested in the same painting, it is sold, after all the fees and cuts MW takes, you get what is left divided by 10000. Additionally, the company is not transparent about holdings or owners. Source: looked into it myself as diversification. Opted not too because it givs sophisticated mlm type vibes (albeit mlm is different). On topic: Always happy to see the weekly video come up :D. Found you I believe sometime end January and I started at episode 55 or so, watched to (then) episode 96 and decided that it was worth to watch from the start (as in episode 1 to now). Love it love it love it. My mum kept saying "oh you watching your cuban watch family again". After a while she started watching them with me and she now also watches from time to to time :) You are all great kind people

I really like the way Carlos deal with customers he always tell it like it is and if he doesn't know something he says it and doesn't try to bullshit you. As a buyer i really want honesty. Charlie on the other does appear like he want to take advantage of customers either while buying or selling, sorry to say that but i hate the way he talk to customers, he often mistreat callers or says incorrect/false informations or he exagerate stuff. I honestly would never ever buy or deal with a seller like him for anything ! But since he's young i suppose he can still change and turn like his father!
