The Rolex Bubble & Hands-On With A Paul Newman Daytona Found in a $25 Couch (8 Rare Watches)

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Hey all, I hope you are having a great holiday season and that you enjoy the video. I always enjoy doing these styles of videos more so if you like please do give it a thumbs up as that helps me out. For those wanting to zone in on the Rolex bubble part of our conversation, we start discussing it at 15:44 - QUESTION FOR YOU ALL: What would you do with a Paul Newman Daytona if you found it in your couch? Would you keep it or sell it? If you sell it, what would you buy? See you in the next one, I have some big videos coming soon!

[@saynototheborg]

Teddy Baldassarre great video as always

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Thanks Peter!

[@lion5352-z1s]

I would keep,it as an investment. How much did the lady get for it ?

[@tonydiaz9458]

i would most definately hold onto it for a minimum of 5-10 years, wear it, enjoy it, let it keep going up in value, that or sell it as soon as my wife finds out how much its worth lol, after that i would get a couple of rolex's, sum tattoos, sum shoes, travel a little, put sum funds into the stock market, as well as in the bank, we already have a house, just my 2 cents, great video as usual teddy

Hey Paul, I just bought my first watch from you guys, a Hulk. I have three back of the day and traded them when watches were flying around like frisbees. I was at the top of the list at Shreve & Co in Palo Alto; but then I cooled off and I’m not getting calls anymore.😢 I had never paid over MSRP until recently. I’ve had 12 Patek, 40 Rolex, one Bubba Watson and others. Your customer service is impeccable. My Hulk showed up in perfect condition like brand new.! Thank you so much!

An item going up 40% in value in months is practically the definition of a bubble.

[@bjornfollin5056]

No it's not. By definition you don't know that it's a bubble until the price crashes.

[@surfeno]

This is as simple as Supply vs.Demand

[@MK-lc4mi]

I think people are also discounting inflation too. These collectible items are just matching dollar value this is why we buy

The sad part is somebody somewhere lost the family Rolex. Kind of like those shows about buying storage lockers. It can be a great day for the person that bid low on a unit, but some family lost their treasured collection of what ever because of forgetting to pay a couple of month's rent.

[@BeckVMH]

Interesting conversation. Ref the Daytona, Bob’s Watches has specialized in preowned Rolex and other luxury watches since the mid-90s. This women’s call wasn’t their first of like or similar circumstances. While they’re objective is to make a profit, it’s safe to assume they exercise due diligence to avoid being complicit in the sale of a suspect watch, regardless of value.

[@Halfmoon67]

[@damachine3]

I was just in Newport Beach and wanted to stop by Bob's Watches, but they were closed. Next time! Perhaps there is a bubble (if your definition is simply quick price appreciation) but a lot of people see that definition as including a component of fragility...but I don't see it bursting. The usual movements up or down, sure. Rolex is increasing their retail prices on January 1st (tomorrow), so that takes away some of the bubble from a margin perspective regardless...and should help buffer up the grey market prices a bit. As with everything, we shall see!

[@DavesWatchLove]

Teddy, you ask great questions. Great work!

[@zeroelus]

I didn’t remember we had tomato crops near Mexico City. The state most famous for crops like tomato is the state of Sinaloa, not like the name is famous or anything haha. As a Mexican web developer with an Orient Mako 2, I think I need to switch career paths.

[@JorgeGee713]

You should dislike the negative connotations and insinuating they made since he's a Mexican farmer therefore growing something else. A bit racist in my opinion.

[@ak1920]

The mako 2 is an awesome watch

[@zeroelus]

AK1920 thanks, I was looking to get a Mako 3/Kamasu but they where too expensive for my liking and I found a Christmas sale on Amazon for the Mako 2 and it was about 140 USD taxes and everything. I’m very pleased with the watch I got for the money paid.

[@ak1920]

@@zeroelus that's a really good deal..screw down crown, 120 click bezel, screw case back, etc. I also own a black dial mako 2 I prefer it over the 3. It is the 2nd orient watch I have, I also have an orient symphony. You really cant beat them for the price. Take care

[@augustinf]

Jay G totally agree with you there. I live in southern Spain, my dad used to sell tomatoe and other seeds to local farmers with huge glasshouse cultures, these guys were filthy rich. Mexico is a huge tomatoe producer and exports tons of tons of tomatoes to the US, people with huge properties are easily multi millionnaires, and have a honnest business (they might be guilty of not declaring all their workers or income to the local IRS and have to sell a dozen rolex when they get caught though)

[@FLXLife]

I called Bob's with a rare Rolex GMT Master and they would not even look at it unless I paid them $300 (+or-) for an appraisal! (Refundable if I sell them the watch at whatever the hell their offer might be.) I told them I had a pretty good idea of what the value was (I had offers from several other major players) and since I'm OC local, I'll drop by and show them the watch in person...no appraisal needed and if they want to make an offer, I'll be glad to entertain. "We'd love to see it", they said, but I still had to pay them the $300. Crazy.

[@tomt5698]

What did they offer you? They offered me DIK for a two tone Datejust.

[@FLXLife]

@@tomt5698 They wouldn't make an offer until I agreed to pay them for an appraisal...and I would not agree to pay them anything. I had offers from Hodinkee, a commitment for a Geveva auction spot from Phillips, and two other solid offers for the watch. All between 20 and 30K.

My only really nit-picky critique would be that the video would look just a tad better if you used the same camera (could just be different exposure settings, but it's hard to tell) in the wide shot and head shots of you and Paul. Also I think it's a little too much of an extreme close-up shot in the headshots, but that's just my opinion.
