I first visited Selfridges in 1969 with my father, and have been back many times. Amazing history and video! Many thanks!

Chopard are on fire right now. Probably the most under appreciated luxury watch brand right now. They’re making some absolute masterpieces

Can’t beat a bit of window shopping along Oxford Street. Selfridges has such a cool collection of watches to check out. Nice Omega boutique opposite too.

Great video Rob. Love the americano use of the word “blocks” instead of streets when you were estimating the distance to Selfridges. In keeping with the USA theme, I thought you would have referenced the Mickey Rourke 80’s classic film, the Year of the Dragon, when you went to get something to eat…”It isn’t the Bronx or Brooklyn, it isn’t even New York. It’s Chinatown, and it’s about to explode”. 😂 Stay well.

IMO The Chopard bracelet totally makes the watch (both colors) - thanks for making these videos

Thanks! Those Chopards dials are great, no doubt.

That first Chopard looked like the bezel was pretty beat up. Not sure if it was smudged or scratched.

Upvoted, great video Rob. Selfridges watch department is run by Bucherer. You will be shocked by the prices for their Certified Pre-owned Rolexes!

5:00 I picked up the bi-metal version here in the UK from an AD whilst walking past - it was for sale in the window a couple of months ago. I have seen the full yellow gold version for sale in ADs around the UK too but I've also seen it for sale in an AD abroad (they had over 110 pieces in stock including 3 x the full yellow gold GMT on Jubilee) - with the tax saving, it came to around £30,000, some £5000 cheaper than buying from the UK.

Very interesting...thanks for sharing, and congrats on the two-tone GMT. I'm a big fan!

The gold Rolex is such a heavy watch as I’ve tried it.
@n2kos2 ай бұрын
Could you actually buy the gmt or was it just for display?
@RobtheAmerican2 ай бұрын
I could have walked out with it (after paying, of course).
@hold121Ай бұрын
Could you help me understand why someone would choose to buy a watch in the UK when they can get it for 15-20% less in places like Lisbon, Dubai, or Tokyo, where you can even negotiate with the dealers for a better deal? Selfridges isn’t what it used to be in the '90s and 2000s-it’s as crowded as Borough Market. And while the watch floor might be less busy, the selection there is quite limited.
