Your WOMD will never get stale. Every episode my eyes manage to pop out and ears explode with what I'm hearing and seeing. You always put things into focus for me.
Hey Roman thanks for answering my question about possible brands to look at for my sons as a college graduation gift. Here is an idea for an episode or episodes. Do a show on ideas for college grad gifts in following price ranges: under $200; under $500; under $1,500; under $3,000; under $5,000 etc. In each price range you could feature a dress watch, a sports watch, a field watch etc. In the lower price range perhaps you also look at quartz models. Just an idea-do with it what you want.
Nice history of the 264 years old Swiss watch company Vacheron Constantin. I think the Vacheron Constantin Overseas with the cross of Malta bracelet and case is one of the most beautiful sport watch in the world. The gold Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso is a beautiful collector classic watch at a low price. The tonneau Vacheron Constantin Royal Eagle is a beautiful classic. The 56 inch Panerai watch is a good watch for tall NBA players that have big wrists.
WOMD Idea: More collabs with personal collections that explain their watch stories - how they got into collecting, why they collect, the meaning behind it all. More personal/sentimental stuff. We all know how much these expensive toys go for. I think it would be nice to hear the stories collectors have about their watches.
Hey Roman, WOMD doesn't have to be only watches! Watch News from the computer on your desk. I'm interested to hear more insider information from you from your trip to HK/Dubai especially with the recent economic slowdown. You sell jewelry too, I'm sure some of them end up on your desk as well. Perhaps you can also consider investing in a macro lens to show us in finer detail the beauty of the watches. Cheers
Vacheron Constantin is the sleeper of the watch hobby.... Holy Trinity along with PP and AP... but priced more reasonable... why? they don't follow trends, they aren't a hype watch, but they make a watch on a level that arguably even PP doesn't anymore, thus their moving to their own PP Seal and not the coveted Geneva Seal.
Loved the JLC, and the Vacheron was beautiful too. How about an independent what's on my desk. We love to see pieces we'll never get to see in the flesh? As usually this was a very entertaining episode.
Ideas for WOMD: Get some other dealers to show their stock, maybe someone who specializes in some particular brand/category OR you can visit some of your dealer friends OR Get some of your regular/old clients to showcase their collection.
Damn first time Roman does a video to offload watches - he says he reads every comment - if he reads this he will obviously be defensive but deep down he knows - good guy though one of the best in the industry regardless
I am not offended, this may have came off as me unloading watches perhaps, but its a very thin line and you know if you have been following me for a while its not the intent
I have your theme song on my playlist! Love it. More Lange please if possible. Their movements are incredible. And maybe your pick of the vault for $10k under, $10-20k and a pick of "sky is the limit" ( for what you have on hand at that moment in the vault). Either way, WOMD is never stale! Keep it up.
Great video Roman & thanks so much for highlighting VC & their history. So many people treat VC as "that other trinity brand" as if they're in some way inferior to PP or AP. It'd be great to see more content featuring Vacheron & maybe even a video highlighting why they get shortchanged in both conversations & resale value vs Patek & Audemars. Do you think VC will ever break free of that trend & get the more mainstream recognition that PP & Audemars do?
Hey Roman great vid as always.. possibly some episodes on watches in 5-10 thousand range. I’m sure a lot of ur viewers love seeing the super high end luxury watches like me but could never afford them. As for me my whole collection range from 5-10 thousand. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Can you please compare different watches which are the same case diameter size. Even those they are same size some watches visually are much bigger then other watches with have the same diameter size. Thanks. keep up the awesome work
Hi ROMAN Always happy see that your Subs are going up . If you can have some reviews on Oris watches or other like Hamilton.. in that price range . I think those watches offer great value vs some big names/expensive brands . I started watch hobby with Hamilton watches and still love the brand for what they offer in that price range Again thank you for videos always look forward for next one 👍
Hi Roman, Discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I am now a big fan! Thanks for your hard work. I am a big AP fan too but there is one question I would be curious to get your opinion on. What do you think about the Code 11:59, especially the Chrono. I can’t decide whether I like it or not. A flyback Chrono with date at the retail price is quite competitive I think but I am not a fan so far of the design. What’s your view? Many thanks
Hey Roman , I found a watch I love ,but without papers in chrono 24 would that watch be serviceable by the brand in case you like to know the brand is Breguet?
Roman, what about the fact that Putin has a 500,000 a Lange Sohne on his 100k salary. What does that say about the nobilty of that watch and more importantly, about the year end bonus paid out by the Russian government?
I do like from the rival "trading desk" the most watched watches on their website....but maybe that is predictable and you can put a Roman Sharf spin on that idea? Possibly there is something about the VERY FACT that you are an internet seller, which means can do something that bricks & mortar content could never do - in terms of what's on my desk - although I am reaching on this one.
What about VC Overseas? Looks great, especially in a rose gold. but it didn't happen to become a grail watch like PP 5711 or AP RO, to your opinion why it is not an iconic watch? And 1 more question, why they sell a model of Traditionnelle Chronograph Perpetual Calendar with regular but modified Lemania movement by the same price as PP perpetual chronograph? Your show is awesome! Got lots of knowledge from you.
Good stuff again Roman 👍 It'd be cool to see a manufacturer doing that Tonneau or rectangle style in that Reverso / Royal Eagle size class but with modern appointments a la Richard Mille. Got another question for you, as you sell also lower price bracket brands like Citizen; is the AD's cost in % on brands like Citizen, Seiko and Casio similar to their cost on higher price bracket brands like Omega and Breitling?
Hey, perhaps instead of a greater number of watches you could show us more of the watches you have at hand. I don't know what kind of camera gear you have at hand but macro shots of some of the movements and dials especially of rare and pricey pieces would definitely allow you to get more content out of fewer watches and also give you more unique visual content that people want to see. Some other guys on youtube are doing close-ups but only one or two channels really do macros. Not every watch will lend itself well to this but I'm sure you would have a few each week.
Hey Roman! Been watching you for a month already (Vadim Moda suggested) and got to say this the best decision I made this month :D I looove every video on this channel!!! Keep up the great work! One thing I noticed is that you never mentioned Tudor in your videos about affordable timepieces.. Want to know your thoughts about Tudor and how they are being unnoticed in the world.. Just got a 2019 Pelagos LHD full set for a great great deal and got to admit this is the best piece I owned yet!
Hi Roman, I guess you could show on your desk what you just bought or just sold, and with that avaliate prices and the market...not sure if it is doable... anyways ...I like your chanel a lot ... congrats...see ya!
Great video Roman, really enjoy your watch history videos! Question for you: Why is the Rolex Cellini Prince (circa 2010ish) not liked by the watch community. Personally I like a lot and contemplating adding it to my collection (white gold version). Keep up the awesome videos.
Roman great collaboration with watchbox the other day! I have a AP question for you as I know they are your favorite! mine too! so you can see my dilemma! I have narrowed my purchase to 3 different watches. I currently have a batman and trying to decide if i want to keep it or trade up. Option 1. keep batman and buy navy dial white face offshore , trade batman in and add more money for either the Juan Pablo Montoya or the new AP ghost offshore. your thoughts? so hard because I love them all! I have tried them on and I can pull the Montoya off even though its larger than the others. Thanks! And happy Holidays! Jim
Hey Roman! Love your content have been watching for over a year now. Just like you I am a huge AP fan! I was wondering what your opinion is for the future of AP? I'm a huge fan of the offshore line as well as the Royal Oak Chronos. With the release of the 11.59 do you think that there will be a major overhaul for the movements in the rest of their lines, particularly the Royal Oak Chrono? (Maybe also clear casebacks coming to the them as well) Tacking onto that do you think that they will do a major update in form to the offshores? They just made the new 42mm offshore in titanium with new pushers. Do you think that form will carry over to the other offshore models? Would love to hear your input. Once again thanks for the videos!
here‘s my take on how to improve WOMD, show 5 watches per episode to make videos longer, put one episode out every single day for us and invite collectors to show their collection with u once a week for even longer videos ......so there u go 😜💪🏻
I feel like the problem with vacheron is that they have trouble connecting with the market today. While other manufacturers have their signature watch like patek with the nautilus and AP with the royal oak, Vacheron doesn't. In today's market, the most important thing is exposure not complications. The nautilus is time and day only watch but it cost as much as an new AP code 11.59 with the perpetual calendar, and it's still selling like hot cakes. What saddens me is their attempt to bring more exposure to the company by introducing the entry level fifty six line with an entry level price of 11k. The fifty six line of watches looked generic and uninspired, and they were quickly forgotten in the community. I'm not sure what they should as a company. They can sell out and make more steel sports models, but it going to be hard to compete with rolex and the like. They can stick to their guns and only make high end dress watches, but those aren't selling well in the current market.
a 52 mm watch should be a great limited edition to give for the champions of Mr Olympia or other major bodybuilder competition, otherwise terrible idea
JLC and Vacheron all day, that Panerai though... (and I like panerai) is not only "that's a huge bitch" , but also an ugly biaitch... I'd rather my casio pathfinder..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Never the less my man, a great episode. Make an episode about HW.... Yes I know... Me and my Opus-es But they are all made by some of the greatest names and they are art for the wrist. So plenty for you to talk about! Till the next one Roman!!!!!!
@@RomanSharf Hey, not at all. A decent amount of them go upto 53mm. The biggest one they made was 65mm ( that was in response to PAMs 60mm limited edition from 2009 or 2010. I think PAM 293.).
Your WOMD will never get stale. Every episode my eyes manage to pop out and ears explode with what I'm hearing and seeing. You always put things into focus for me.
Thank you Angelo
My favorite brand. I like their understated classical style.
thanks Jeff
Can we get a female watch collector on one of the episodes?
Would love to!

Hey Roman, would love to see more collab-edition of WOMD like the one you did with Bob Maron. Love your channel and keep up the good work!
Thanks Eddie and noted

I did a few already Jack, but as watches come in will do some more

got it
I would love the Panerai! I have an 8.5” wrist so I would gladly wear that baby! But I’d rather have the Vacheron!
Lets go Ray!
Great show as always, I would like to see and hear you talk about the FP Journe Chonometre Bleu. Great content, never stale 👍⌚️
Sure thing Clive
One of the best watches ever, I'd love to see it reviewed here
Hi Roman,Excellent video again love hearing your knowledge on anything & everything ! keep up the great work,
Thanks Carl
Hey Roman, I have an idea for a new "Show", showing the audience the most expensive watches you sold that week, lets say every Thursday lol
i like it!
Damn first time Roman does a video to offload watches - he says he reads every comment - if he reads this he will obviously be defensive but deep down he knows - good guy though one of the best in the industry regardless
I am not offended, this may have came off as me unloading watches perhaps, but its a very thin line and you know if you have been following me for a while its not the intent
Nice job on WatchBox. You blew those two dudes away!
Thanks Robert
Panerai has great history, very nice watches but way too big, still love them😊
I have your theme song on my playlist! Love it. More Lange please if possible. Their movements are incredible. And maybe your pick of the vault for $10k under, $10-20k and a pick of "sky is the limit" ( for what you have on hand at that moment in the vault). Either way, WOMD is never stale! Keep it up.

Everything is in waves not too long ago you could not get your hands on any VC out there, so it will come back
Great tip on the Royal Eagle. I'd love a 222 Jumbo Black Dial but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Thanks
Hey Roman great vid as always.. possibly some episodes on watches in 5-10 thousand range. I’m sure a lot of ur viewers love seeing the super high end luxury watches like me but could never afford them. As for me my whole collection range from 5-10 thousand. Keep up the great work. Thanks

Love Vc want the Overseas 3 hander as my end all for collecting watches. Great content as always Roman.

I like the watch and the new design I think its a breath of fresh air, but it did not and will not beat out the Royal Oak collection
Hey Roman , I found a watch I love ,but without papers in chrono 24 would that watch be serviceable by the brand in case you like to know the brand is Breguet?
you dont have to have papers to service the watch at the manufacturer
Roman, what about the fact that Putin has a 500,000 a Lange Sohne on his 100k salary. What does that say about the nobilty of that watch and more importantly, about the year end bonus paid out by the Russian government?
Yeah he has a lot more then that, but I try not to get into politics
Dont be naive. Putin is a billionaire.

Hey Roman, can you please do a brand collection womd? Starting with Patek of course 😁
Sure

Dont like predicting even though Ian bought me a crystal ball :-)
a 52 mm watch should be a great limited edition to give for the champions of Mr Olympia or other major bodybuilder competition, otherwise terrible idea
lol
How about show dedicated to racing watches, ie speedmaster, Heuer, Chopard, etc
52mm is a desk clock.....all it needs is a stand.
Hello. What happen to the idea of y’all doing episodes of viewers watches?
going to launch next year
JLC and Vacheron all day, that Panerai though... (and I like panerai) is not only "that's a huge bitch" , but also an ugly biaitch... I'd rather my casio pathfinder..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Never the less my man, a great episode.

52 mm. Fack me dead!’ Worst idea ever
Probably the most ugliest watches I’ve ever seen
