Yes man really enjoyed this weeks video! And yeah 100% do speak about your personal life, that is what makes this channel unique and of course we love the watch content and talks you provide. Great to see your contacts rapidly expanding as well!
Keep doing what you are doing I would say Phil. Really light hearted fun and informative content. You don't have to be like the other channels. Seeing shots of Lpndon and Canary Wharf at night etc all adds to the appeal. Love your channel.
Hey Phil, I'd be interested to hear about how you protect yourself from fraud ie buying fake watches unintentionally and also from being the victim of theft as a dealer
@@jayangli I doubt you'll get straight up answers with direct sources from anyone else who makes a living as a watch dealer ... But I will say that there are a few bigger private forums/groups online and WhatsApp groups which are usually off shoots from those forums and groups online ... These are full of grey market dealers from all over the world and list stock for sale at wholesale pricing. They exist for dealers who are vetted to buy and sell from peers at wholesale pricing, helping each other to make retail deals where the money is made ... These groups aren't easy to get access to without an existing member or two vouching for you. It took me several years of networking to get into the main ones amd offshoots ... Now these private dealer chats are my main source of buying, with buying from online estate auctions and wholesale brick and mortar places as secondary source. I don't know this guy's horology bench knowledge or skill set but personally, dealer 2 dealer sales have element of trust .. anytime buying from public or unknown source, I'd have to inspect it first, including opening the case to check movement, time graphing, looping case bracelet for wear and stamping etc ... Before I hand over a penny. Have you seen this guy dismantle and inspect a movement before buying or selling? I haven't seen enough to know
I actually worry about this young man, one of these days he may get jumped for his backpack. God forbid it happens as I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone. He keeps saying I don’t have anything on me but he is constantly on a train dropping off or picking up a watch. He is leading a very dangerous life. Phil please be careful it is a nasty world out there.
I agree Max Phil’s client Solomon seems like a nice gent! But what if he was to meet a big bad baldy black guy in a dark alleyway and get beaten up and robbed. Not the safest meeting someone in public! @Phil Safety comes first young man, you may be becoming a target for street robbers. Max is right! only a matter of time you get jumped and robbed by some scummy inner city rodents. Stay safe!
@@andrewbarrett9670 I agree, it would be horrible if something happens when he isn’t carrying anything as he will be put in a scary situation for no reason. Being a backpacker watch seller should be done in secret so you don’t draw undue attention to yourself. Anyway I am sure he knows what he is doing.
Being one that waits for a Rolex , not happy about the buy from the guy just out the door of a AD …sorry dude that is not the way to grow your business
And now the whole world knows exactly the absolute depths Mayor Khan's London has plummeted to when a young man just simply wouldn't countenance walking through central London in broad daylight carrying a Mappin & Webb bag......
@@adam_kano Khan has been the Mayor of London for nearly six, long, miserable, years & in ALL of this time, he has presided over the most horrific & ever spiraling completely out of control the most serious & violent of crime, particularly murders, year after year, after year, after year, after year, after year & that is ONLY exactly why little Phil was nearly having a heart attack just at the thought of walking through the streets of central London in broad daylight with one little Mappin & Webb bag.....

Just recently found ur channel and enjoying your vids ... Just wanted to politely add some insight ... I have been a hobbyist horologist for 10 yrs or so and started restoring/servicing and flipping watches 5-6 years ago, only doing so full time the last 3 yrs when it overtook my 'normal' job income. I'm really happy to see a younger guy doing his thing and making a living off the watch market which theyre also passionate about. Ive not seen all your vids but have gathered u started full time a year or two ago and I'd just like to highlight how important due diligence and security is, especially as a solo 'backpack' dealer, which is also what I do. I have an arrangement with 2 local jewelers to use their storefront for meeting clients and making sales. I'm then able to have a secure environment, counter where I can properly pull the case and inspect all watch components under a loop. Just soooo many shiesty ppl these days who will seek out newer dealers to pull a fast one.. I've seen hi quality 'super clone' Daytona case used with a geniune movement and bracelet being used ... A jeweler had their sales guy buy this for a good deal given current market value but once owner inspected and realized it was not geniune, no recourse and big L. I would suggest using a co work space where you can pay a small monthly rent, but have a static place to do business, list of pros is long versus sales in a park etc ... Wish you all the best and hope you look into work space, through d and d and security measures - toward a long term and profitable business!
We like the chats about your life and would love more videos, maybe 2+ videos a week no all watch related, have to remember you weren’t always a watch channel ❤️👍🏽
The flipper who sold you the Datejust 1min after leaving the AD has outed himself. That's a very distinctive watch sold this week and it'll get back to the AD who will blacklist him. One less flipper in the world :)
Hiya pal, just stumbled on your vid, you mentioned you were editing on the train, what do you use to do the editing I was impressed. How did you learn the editing too? I’ve an aquanaut currently with Patek for a service and a clean, think I’ll just stick it in the box once it’s back.
I just can’t with the pink beanie Phil looked like you’d pulled something else over your head 🤣. Loved that rose gold. reading the comments didn’t realise selling watches gets you so much hate.
He’s needs to start driving. Best thing would be to have his living address in his home city so insurance isn’t Too high because he could easily get nicked
Pink hat camera on a stick rucksack Mr I don't carry any watches and as it in is hand getting on a train first class pr**k he needs to wake up and realise he's not in fairyland ! now I would laugh when he gets mugged and now he brags saying he doesn't care that's he's just bought a rolex off a guy just leaving the AD God he's just lost half his fans
Wont be long before gangs target people coming and going to places like "trotters" and other big dealers. Most of their customers are a bit thick and flaunt their stuff and movements .
He legit took the Rolex box out of his backpack so he can carry it one hand while filming with the other boarding the train talking openly that he sell Rolxes cheaper than anyone else. How are you not dead yet for clout?
I keep hearing this entry level being mentioned all the time does come across as pure watch snobbery so a datejust is entry level which means you’ve only got your foot in the door 🤷♂️ does it mean if you spend a certain amount say over fifteen to twenty grand you enter the world of a proper Rolex owner 🤷♂️ just not having it,there is no entry level Rolex in fact there is no watch that is entry level full stop 🤷♂️ Just to add I do enjoy your videos I just felt the term entry level had to be addressed which is used by not just yourself but a lot of watch dealers 👍
Little Phil would probably prefer to walk about anywhere in Ukraine carrying a Mappin & Webb bag rather than carrying the same in central London & who can blame him?
Be careful about sharing your personal life and where you'll be on insta and yt. If you're going to be walking around with literal house-worth merchandise you need to listen to Kenny Rogers and know when to holdem foldem walk away and when to run

Loving these longer vids Phil, hoping to buy my first soon and will definitely be in your DMs soon
Hey Phil, I'd be interested to hear about how you protect yourself from fraud ie buying fake watches unintentionally and also from being the victim of theft as a dealer
You can see yourself he doesn't protect himself from theft - he's just lucky he hasn't been mugged so far.
Hi Phil. You have to get your merchandise from somewhere to sell it for a profit right. Where do you get your watches from?

@Phil
Safety comes first young man, you may be becoming a target for street robbers.
Max is right! only a matter of time you get jumped and robbed by some scummy inner city rodents.
Stay safe!
Every chance of this happening. If they see a camera, it’s likely he’s carrying something. Dangerous game.
@@kevletmein Totally agree.
Been telling him for months ! now I wouldn't feel sorry for him he's just living in the fairy land of u tubers

@Phil that 2016 box and paper is 7999, 2022 date just goes for 7000.
That Wimbledon on Solomon just looks stunning 👌
Will someone please tell me why you would buy a watch from Phil? 🙏
If the price is good why not! You also have to option to feature on his channel which can help with marketing your own personal brand or business
@@husnainshah443 this^ if you're a fan, get a good price, and want a bit of good promo... Why not!
We like the chats about your life and would love more videos, maybe 2+ videos a week no all watch related, have to remember you weren’t always a watch channel ❤️👍🏽
He is trying to find how to get the most public interest.... So goes and tries different trends etc it's logical from an aspiring youtuber pov
Keep up the hard work 👏🏻
Honest question. Does the sanctions on Russians hit a large part of your client base.
If one doesn’t have social media anymore what’s the best way of contacting you Phil? Great content as well!
what is a good first watch to buy/sell
The flipper who sold you the Datejust 1min after leaving the AD has outed himself. That's a very distinctive watch sold this week and it'll get back to the AD who will blacklist him.
One less flipper in the world :)
Yup , that is not cool
AD has to be noticed…the flipper no more watches for him
Where I can buy this trouser and jumper 😅?
Great episode bro 😊👊 that all rose gold was a beauty.
Hiya pal, just stumbled on your vid, you mentioned you were editing on the train, what do you use to do the editing I was impressed. How did you learn the editing too?
I’ve an aquanaut currently with Patek for a service and a clean, think I’ll just stick it in the box once it’s back.
How does his I.D not get picked up by the AD it would be so easy to black list ?
Nice videos! Loving this type of formats.
Keep grinding bro!!! You are selling more and more!! Keep it up
If its ok to ask, what did the Rose Gold Daytona go for? Nice watch
Crazy to see a day old rolex moving on to a third owner. That's really the way these watches are treated though I guess.
Your a tip lad !! Really enjoy the watch and personal content !!!
You should have filmed the go karting.
Hey there. How much are you currently asking for the yellow gold gmt, green dial?
I just can’t with the pink beanie Phil looked like you’d pulled something else over your head 🤣. Loved that rose gold. reading the comments didn’t realise selling watches gets you so much hate.
Enjoyed the video Phil but when you're on the train, keep your dirty shoes off the seat opposite. It's not big and it's not clever 🍆
I like the train and traveling stuff - gives a nice view of life in London.
Mind the gap.
What camera do you vlog with? Looks super clean. Love the content btw 👍🏾🔥
Does it increase your risk walking as a pedestrian with a Mappin and webb bag?
How can I see what watches you've currently got for sale? And how can I request one? Thanks
Your videos about watches are great, but I am also interested ion your daily life in the UK.
bro love this! if i have a rolex can i start trading and hjow?
Datejust 7k would be a good deal or go AD
updated watch collection please
Hey bud how much capital did you start out with how many watches initially ?
Smashing it bro keep grinding
How much is batgirl
He’s needs to start driving. Best thing would be to have his living address in his home city so insurance isn’t Too high because he could easily get nicked
💯💯
Need a jubilee bracelet on the Datejust.
You got me once with that clickbait, I promise you won't get me twice.
What’s the average time you take to reply to DMs?
ALL WATCH CHANNELS TALK ABOUT THERE PERSONAL LIFE ITS LIKE THAT FOOL ANFANNY .. WE ONLY WANT CONTENT ABOUT WATCHES
And then you have the other public here who are asking for MORE personal life stuff and less watches
How much for the yellow gold gmt?
More about your life and longer steadier shots on the watches. Will make your videos longer and will make your videos less about trains.
“Go tarting” - Freudian slip?
You must be spending mad amounts on trains and travel!!
Pink hat camera on a stick rucksack Mr I don't carry any watches and as it in is hand getting on a train first class pr**k he needs to wake up and realise he's not in fairyland ! now I would laugh when he gets mugged and now he brags saying he doesn't care that's he's just bought a rolex off a guy just leaving the AD God he's just lost half his fans
How much for the GMT!
14:15 not cool mate. Don't put your shoes up on the seats.
Ayyy I live in wardian toov
Would love to see everything, personal life included!
what’s that song!
Thanks for sharing. Great episode and phenomenal content, stay safe.
Wouldn it be cool if rolex sold 200 watches know id get one dont have the coin for the expensive stuff
NY 🗽
Click bait

Prob not a good idea broadcasting that you carry £1000s of valuables in London....
I keep hearing this entry level being mentioned all the time does come across as pure watch snobbery so a datejust is entry level which means you’ve only got your foot in the door 🤷♂️ does it mean if you spend a certain amount say over fifteen to twenty grand you enter the world of a proper Rolex owner 🤷♂️ just not having it,there is no entry level Rolex in fact there is no watch that is entry level full stop 🤷♂️
Just to add I do enjoy your videos I just felt the term entry level had to be addressed which is used by not just yourself but a lot of watch dealers 👍
Do you have any ''entry level'' watches of your very own?
Anyone tell me where is is girlfriend gone.
Bro you're not "risking your life" .... It's not like you're getting drafted in the Ukrainian army.
