What to look for when buying neo-vintage watches with Ben Dunn (Watch Brothers London)

[@handsandcogs3171]

Interesting chat

[@nazardaniyel4994]

Definitely would listen to another hour of this

[@watchbrotherslondon]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch 🙏☺️

[@watchbrotherslondon]

Awesome to catch-up and talk all things watches! Thanks for having me on bro :) See you again soon

[@avmelidor]

Going to follow him. He intrigues

[@petrokersta5293]

I could’ve easily listened for another hour. No kidding. It’s been very captivating, genuine, passionate, and fresh. Buy what you love, know what you buy. At the end of the day nobody cares what’s on your wrist, but you. I love that each watch I own makes me smile just by looking at it. But then it’s as much about people as it is about watches., if not more. There’s nothing I enjoy like a great story of a person and their watch.

I think there was some editing required as we did ramble on for another 30 minutes or so! Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch, really appreciate the comment. Watches making you smile is the only thing that really matters with collecting, love to read that. All the best, Ben

[@petrokersta5293]

Cheers, Ben! I wish you all the best in the business and collecting journeys! The fact that you took a leap of faith and turned your passion in to a business is very inspiring.

Such an interesting interview. Justin, please do another with Ben as he is a fascinating guest. Loved all the stories.

[@petrokersta5293]

That’d be great! Second that

[@Watcheswornwell]

Ben's passion is fantastic to see. The only dude I'd want to guy a neo vintage piece from

[@watchbrotherslondon]

Amazing to hear and thank you so much for watching 🙏

[@emmetteal8027]

Great episode!

[@kirannambiar]

Yes more please !!

[@TheEasyRail]

What a great episode. Substance knowledge, pleasant discussion and true passion was very palpable throughout. He is in the niche which is very interesting and outside of the hype that's too prevalent online for my taste. Understanding the significance of all these neo-vintage pieces post-quartz crisis is such an interesting piece of history in the watch world. Hopefully future is full of Breguet, Blancpain, non-Royal Oak AP, VC, Ebel, Zenith, IWC, Lange etc... But if not I'm happy to enjoy them without the hordes.

[@watchbrotherslondon]

So great to read this and thank you for watching, it means a lot! Ben

[@tockingwatches2377]

This was great. Please do more.

[@giovannibusato9815]

I'd like to see Justin wear an Ebel now or then. Incredible quality and design, no surprise that it cost more than Daytona in the 90s.

[@NikolausHirsch]

Guys, loved the conversation! Especially the part on watch straps. Can only agree, we need more colours and more fun nut just black and brown 😅. Straps are so important they change the aesthetic of the watch completely 😁👍

[@13Ahj03]

Ben, what a man!

[@AdamStuart1]

Ben is the epitome of the positive side that can still be found in the watch industry. The antithesis to the Rolex and arm tattoo flippers selling superhero watches. He has integrity to the core.

[@watchbrotherslondon]

Adam thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch. Ben

[@gregclarkson2034]

Yes do it again

[@shugertits]

I like the conversation, and you are a deadly handsome man, but you have got to start SHOWING more of the WATCHES. You can just insert pictures of the watches you're talking about for 30 seconds here and there. It would make all the difference in the world.

[@TheEasyRail]

Fully agree and support this comment. There is room in the frame to even leave it there until next topic comes up

[@justin_hast]

I hear you gents - this was recorded a while back, but moving forward this will change. Thank you as always.

[@bananerosabroso]

Wanted to echo the puzzlement regarding Cartier. They get a pass for things that other brands get flack for… pricing vs horological value, uniformity in design across price points. People chomp at the bit for a solar cartier with a $3 quartz movement, sold for 3-4k, then but poopoo a new ingenieur for not being in-house enough to justify the price. Perhaps they are a boon to dealers because they can get them for cheap, and can sell them to non watch nerds for a good profit. I appreciate Ben trying to be polite about it, but I find them to lack value.

11:26 not the Bamboo but a Cristallor...

[@minibus1351]

The volume is too low

[@justin_hast]

Thanks mate - will adjust next time

[@baroussejaquet]

#nkuwan 's watch really surprises me！
