Rolex, Omega, Heuer, you name it- Christian sells em'.
Follow him @christianzeron and @theoandharris
Follow me @zeekyparis

[@Tully-Henderson]

I’ve been watching him since he was flipping those first watches and it’s very cool to see how much he’s evolved

[@Bradfordtruman]

the mumbai specials were awful buyers should be found and put a claim in against him

[@jamesbaker9176]

Been watching you from near the beginning of your journey and it’s been great. Well done on all of your success it’s thoroughly deserved.

[@voxer99]

I've been following Theo and Harris on KZbin for over two years and I like Christian, and Rolly too, a lot. Very likeable guys and Christian is a very good salesman and face for the business. But I just can't see how he's grossing 2.5 million bucks a year selling watches and straps.

[@EPICCDCTECH]

You have to understand that most of his business if probably done behind the scenes. Although he has a large social media presence he won't go running around posting about every large sale. Also, maybe some customers want to remain anonymous.

[@mdtell]

Yeah you are totally missing the guy who emails and says “find me an 1803”

[@theprovincial]

​@@ryan_118 The margins on pre-owned watches are generally quite low as one must stay within appropriate market prices. I'd be surprised if they're flipping these pieces for more than a 20% net return. Having said that, I don't know why you'd ever buy from T & H when the option of Crown/Caliber and the Watchbox are available.

[@ryanio123]

Great - thanks so much for posting this. I've enjoyed following Christian's work for a while - very interesting.

[@VinceFull]

Seeing Buckley to buy some Franken dials for his overpolished and water damaged Rolexes no decent east coat dealer wanted, nice going.

[@TEMPARD]

Thank you Zack & Christian, what a great piece you guys put together and a very interesting perspective.

[@ZackParis]

thanks for watching!

[@johnfrei9057]

Great video! I always want to see behind the scenes with this guy. Great job.

[@seanc5718]

4:50 don't know if he's talking about the dial he's holding or something else, but that's a 1803 stella dial.

[@TheoandHarris]

Hey man! Audio overlay was from a different watch. Great catch! And actually that’s not a Stella! Matte dial, not “enamel”. Thank you so much for watching!

[@Deadicated4Life]

@@TheoandHarris What is the reference number on the Tudor you are talking about?

[@smr32061]

Great video on how you started the biz. You have been working it hard and deserve your success. I've learned a lot about vintage watches since watching you and of course some other watch Vloggers. Buying and wearing Vintage has never been cooler. Don't get me wrong. New is great, of course but Vintage represents great value and can always have a story behind each watch . Who is that watch dealer in Manhattan with all the Rolex dials?! What a selection! Would love to pay him a visit in the future.

[@mathieuvaillancourt3219]

Is he purchasing old dial and doing Frankenstein watches ??

[@davidr9972]

no, he is buying lemmons and selling them as gold

[@j.j.thorne9721]

I immediately wondered the same thing

[@mathieuvaillancourt3219]

@@j.j.thorne9721 He has a watchmaker working for him so maybe it's plausible.

[@TheoandHarris]

Mathieu Vaillancourt hey man! Great question! Swapping dials is very common practice in vintage watches. And, as long as the dials (and all components) are genuine Rolex and correct to the model, it’s not frowned upon at all.

[@mathieuvaillancourt3219]

@@TheoandHarris thanks for the explanation ! With the know how of your watchmaker, I'm sure your listing is in prestine condition. I'm always looking your listing on your site. The cad to usd $ really hurts my potential buying power tho. I don't think their is a market like that in Canada. There's not many Ad either. Have a good day!

[@VersedNJ]

Interesting interview. I have no knowledge of the watch, seller, repair of the vintage. And really love watching Theo and Harris. Only thing I have no interesting in vintage, but want knew, or ore owned of recent times. Good k\luck on your you tube video.

[@theprovincial]

"I know a lot about watches" Several minutes later he says Edmund Hillary wore a Rolex Explorer up Everest. Edmund Hillary did NOT wear a Rolex, that was Tenzing Norgay. Hillary wore Smiths de Luxe (a defunct English Watchmaker). I find it odd that you would even include this clip when it's blatantly incorrect.

[@67whitegoat4]

The Provincial Gentry, your head is in your ass and your wrong. Rewind and listen to what he says. The watches the two men had was the predecessor to the Explorer. They both had one given to them by Rolex. Did Hillary have another watch as well? Probably.

[@theprovincial]

@@67whitegoat4 I'm right actually. This is an undisputed fact. If you've read the source material and done any research on the climb you would know what I said was precisely correct. By your logic any watch Hillary owned could have been a placeholder in this argument.

[@tvch33]

A lot of negative comments but it’s easy to criticize on your phone at home. One of the better day in the life videos I’ve seeen. Two guys following their passions-can’t hate

[@ZackParis]

exactly! Appreciate you for being a positive person.

[@edwri9759]

Lol at 4:50 “this is one of those 16750 dials” nope it’s Day-Date dial, great knowledge 😂

[@TheoandHarris]

Hahahaha the audio overlay was from a different time. I cringed a little bit, too. But still so impressed by Zack!! Little slip ups can’t be sweat for too long!

[@ZackParis]

Haha yes that’s my fault! I thought it looked the same at the one you were talking about, but it was better shot.

[@lonewolf30531]

Theo if you plan to roll with the watch thing for life . If I was you look into training on how to actually work on the watch. It will help you evolve much further and go to the top.

[@67whitegoat4]

TIMEFORFUN, Nope. That would be like telling the owner of a car dealership to go to mechanics school.

[@timur9429]

That Lange 8:18 is beautiful!!

[@Nickyhn]

whats the song starting at 6:50? please help!

[@tonymontana9628]

ONE DAY I WILL BE TOP LUXERY watch dealer Canada.🤑🤝

[@ZackParis]

hell ya

[@TimmyTangents]

Great video!

[@ZackParis]

thanks man!

[@CraigMedlinmusic]

Fantastic video

[@Teymurphell2]

Starting a video with tag quarts is not a good idea.

[@ZackParis]

I like my Tag! It does it’s job.

[@TheoandHarris]

I love it!!!

[@timur9429]

For 350 the most people settle with a Daniel Wellington and a Invicta on top.. the Tag is a really good watch you cant go wrong with it especially for 350!

[@throwingdartsandbreakinghearts]

You're a snob.

[@theprovincial]

@@ZackParis Come on son you need a better Tag haha. I've seen Carreras Chronographs going between $1750 and $2100 CAD. I love the CV2010, 2013 Calibre 16s and highly recommend them as a lower end piece.

[@timur9429]

Is this Buckley the guy thats name is used for the Rolex dials with roman numerals??

[@hacker007300]

Tim Yo yes it is

[@betsyavallone4314]

No it is not the same Buckley.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Cool

[@ajtorres2549]

Super well produce content keep it up!!!

[@samadrid6321]

Theo/Christian has that classy quality sprezzatura. That's good, in his line of work he better show up well dressed but not too overly done. No big LV belt buckles or Prada sunglasses.

[@Zoro92302]

Great video man!

[@ZackParis]

Thanks man! Appreciate it.

[@soulonfirexx]

Anyone know what that watch is @ 9:07 - 9:15 + -- the one with the 3 faces?

[@BodhiBodesSchuyler]

Haha he didn’t pioneer shit haha giving himself way too much credit

[@amintaslneto]

Yes, Chris is a very horology savvy guy.

[@user-fl3un2df6l]

Focus the Chanel on watches

[@rapindudepen15]

Alot of these watches are not vintage lol

[@ImTaylorGang]

lol he started off with 9.8k and in a couple years has a revenue of 2.5mill per year? how stupid do you think we are lol

[@alanchen2049]

dawg 2.5 mil is literally selling a submariner every other day its really doable it's not net profit

[@MajorMinorGolf]

yo! Christian!

[@AndresDeMoya]

I don't know if you just wanted to fill the 10 minute mark or something but man... that's too much B-Roll... I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes. It turned really uninteresting. Maybe add some voiceover or some watches but him walking is just really boring. Sorry. but as a video editor, I just can´t past those types of things. It´s sad because your videos show that you´re trying to make something good.

[@ZackParis]

There is a lot of voice over! Sorry you didn't like it but thanks for trying to watch...

[@vinniem98]

WTF is at 6:55? Rolex didn’t make a sub with factory presidential bracelet did they? And if they didn’t, why would anyone do that?

[@yukosaturno]

They were sold that way in some markets, pretty rare, but they existed, back then rolex dealers had much more access to parts, so things like this were possible if the customer wanted.

[@TheArtofBlues]

Thats his dads watch , i think his mom upgraded the bracelet for their anniversary. I think theres a video on it.

[@davidr9972]

how he got in the game? with daddys money bruh!

[@TheoandHarris]

I wish! If my dad invested in T&H at the start I (think!) I would have been able to grow much quicker. Unfortunately I only had 10k!

[@alexlawrence397]

Yes, someone is smarter then you. That would make sense

[@ZackParis]

Hahaha speaking of being smart- it would be THAN, not then. SMH

[@MSchuits]

​@@ZackParis Another idiot who failed to pass middle school. LOL.

[@Blackbay1010]

Had nothing to do with making the watch or anything remotely close... Buys vintage watches and sells for more money. Bumping up the price to net more money for his company. Such a schmuck thing to do. His company won’t last long. No one wants to buy from someone who doesn’t do anything with making the watches besides buying and flipping for more. Stop buying from this kid. Born rich... never had a real job and now he’s profiting off ppl won’t rush to buy but don’t look that they’re getting screwed

[@ZackParis]

Plenty of people resell things to make a living. You only can do it if you know the market and you know what will sell well, and net good margins. Nothing wrong with a little flip game buddy! And FWIW, he wasn't born rich.

[@Youcantleavethisempty01]

Someone’s in the closet lol
