Watches To Avoid & Mistakes | Worst Predictions For 2022 | Live Q&A

[@bluenote5262]

So far the most informative watch content out there. Thanks!!

[@essexwatchenthusiast9888]

I’m not able to view the livestream but this weekly upload is now firmly in my weekly YT watch list. Having a current dealer be so open and honest is a breath of fresh air. Maybe in the future their could be a live phone in? Looking forward to what topics you have coming to the channel in future episodes.

Love the video and the honesty about servicing. You’re spot on, my friend used to manage a Rolex Service Center and he instructed me the same thing one time I brought my Rolex to him. He said- “why do you want a service?”, me - “because the service interval is up”, him - “don’t open a watch until it acts up, the more times you open it, there is more chance of damage and the service won’t cost more if you leave it until it acts up”.

Hi David and watches lovers! I missed the live event, but enjoyed the format quite a lot, keep going with it. You advices are enlightened and logically lead us to think about the right questions, wonder the right thing prior to “invest” or spend or money in any time keeper. Your opinion is always of great help, well appreciated! Keep it going!!!

[@alexandermacleod9877]

Hi David, I love the channel and also spend a lot of time watching people streaming on Twitch. I would take a look at some of the top creators there for how they run their streams as the start could be smoother (can create a countdown with a picture and song) and then can also reposition screens / laptop for a better angle. That way you aren’t looking backwards to the screen when trying to share. Other than that, once you got going it was great and love the channel!

[@jimlittle5769]

In regards to the question about what specific Rolex models to get to be considered for the higher end models down the road, each AD is different. I got a Batman on jubilee (the Bruce Wayne) from an out of state AD I visited for 5-10 minutes. I put in the request in August, got it Oct 1. No purchase history at all. It really does just depend on where you go. From another out of state AD I got the z-blue Milgauss in July after a 6 week wait, then the Polar Exp II in November after a 4 month wait. I had never bought anything from them before the Milgauss. These were my top 3 choices of Rolex I wanted. Now, I know neither the Milgauss or the Polar are high ends, but I think the Batman qualifies, at least to me it does. I wouldn't buy any pieces you don't want just for a shot to get a high end some time down the road. Might as well use that money, go gray, and get what you want immediately.

[@stupitt6989]

Great livestream David, nice for someone in your position to be so open and honest. I feel a lot of people have there hands tied behind there backs because they don’t want to upset people/sponsors but it’s just people opinions at the end of the day. Be good to buy a watch off you in the future 👍

[@rabihalihassan3919]

Hello David , sorry but i missed the live show , just a Q? What do you think about the new explorer 2 ? It’s a good watch for investment ? Thank you for sharing your thoughts

[@jamiesieu801]

I am so sad to miss this livestream David, when is your next livestream?

[@benberg7274]

Hey David , had posted a question before the stream began… what are your thoughts on the Rolex Smurf? Is it a keeper ? Thanks

[@BadJuju01]

Hi David, what is your take on the rose Gold Rolex olive dial President, going forward? Do you see the value appreciating or flatlining? You’ve not spoken about his particular variant much and it will be amazing if you could talk about this one in one of your future episodes

[@conduit242]

Respectfully, that will look dead as disco in five years.

Why do you never speak on Omega, rolex, rolex rolex

[@rickfowler3710]

Watches are very unique in that Market prices are solely created by dealers. A dealer is not going to take a loss on a watch and is willing to wait until they find a buyer. Hense 'no dip'. The price is set at the retail level rather than on wall street. Most other markets you can participate indirectly through stocks, futures etc. meaning to varying degrees they are manipulated and players pump and dump the market. Watches in my opinion are a very true market making them a safer store of value than most other assets. (The right watches of course)

[@conduit242]

You mean the Rolex market…That’s the very definition of a manipulated market. There is no legitimate price discovery at scale. If it was legitimate, dealers would embrace futures as a way to hedge against held inventory, just like gold coin dealers.

[@rickfowler3710]

@@conduit242 Hello Rob, Yes by (the right watches) I mean select models from Rolex, AP, Patek etc. I assume by manipulation you are referring to flippers. Most of us do not agree with it but it doesn't mean it's not a legitimate form of demand. Flipping is a symptom of lack of supply, not market manipulation. If Rolex increase there supply and or prices the flipping would then stop. High demand is causing the high prices and all the flippers are doing is giving the supply to the grey market and taking the spread between the rrp and the market price. Grey market dealers don't need to hedge becuase they're protected by the increasing demand and the fact they are the market setters and look to each other to set prices. If some dealers try to undercut the market to increase sales it will just be bought up by the other dealers, so the only way you get falling prices is if enough dealers drop there prices which will only happen if demand drops.

[@jeffso4073]

Hi good live show what do you think about FP journe thanks

[@Samx7078]

How much is the 116519ln white gold Daytona going for in the Grey market right now?

[@andy571]

You mentioned a few videos back that a gmt root beer is a watch you can get from a AD , so don’t pay grey market price tonight you said you have one and you would put it away as it is jumping in price , do you feel things have changed with the root beer now 🥺

[@demarko500]

I saw this guys review of the new Omega line with Paul Thorpe and that’s when I realized. David is nothing more than a greedy grey market dealer capitalizing on the inflated nonsense prices of Rolex, AP and the like. Though I can admit, not all of the pieces were a hit, he had such a snobby attitude towards the ones that he knew were good. The last thing David wants is for people to realize that they’re getting screwed when they buy the hyped up nonsense. Enjoy your money David…

[@bekind1784]

David: “I will pay $100k for Plat/Bag Daytona” …yeah, you and everyone else 🤣! That piece will bring $125k (minimum) and up to $150k+. More importantly…enjoying your content David.

[@Alexsdiver]

David, what’s your opinion on the JLC brand? I feel that great quality is there but the market resale is quite poor… What’s wrong with them?

[@PSKuddel]

I love them too, but they haven‘t developed a consistent design for most of their watches as every generation looks different, they haven‘t built a line of sports watches with a good design (the Master Compressors were horrible) and a great metal bracelet (an art only mastered by Rolex, AP, PP, VC and Breguet in my opinion) and although the very complicated show models are incredible, the entry level models are just way too expensive for the movement finishing you get and this way, the second market value will be poor, which will add to the unattractiveness of buying a JLC. Also, they‘re part of Richemont and have to share or even give away inventions to the higher-market brand ALS and therefore also cannot build up as much reputation here.
