Watched whole through! One of my favourites so far. Also gives nice behind the scenes on what to look for and avoid in buying vintage that's not available elsewhere
Adam, i have been following you for quite a while, and after watching this specific videos, it really gives me the appreciation, why it is better to buy from you guys and not directly from either general store/auction houses. the way you and similar people in your industry are able to analyze watches, is phenomal. i will be contacting you sometime next year when i am ready to buy myself a vintage watch.
Thanks for bringing light into the vintage watch game for the general public, guys! As a vintage only guy, I appreciate that and it's been long overdue. I just hope, the interest will expand to more brands than just the few 'usual suspects', as there are plenty of other fish in the sea.
I learn so much from this channel with every video. And the Davidoff brothers knowlege is amazing too. Thanks for posting such informative info on vintage watches
This is the best watch industry vid I’ve seen in a long time. I glean so much from watching pro dealers look at and evaluate watches. Honestly, I think you’ve stumbled on the next hot format in watch RUclips.
Adam, I really appreciate the inside look at the auction, I'm really impressed by your inspection process. Congratulations on your winning bids, you obtained very beautiful pieces. 😊
Loved every minute - but just to confirm sold prices include premium correct? I realize I could figure this out myself but I’m sitting on my butt with a cocktail currently so just thought I’d ask 🍸
Dude this is so random, I love that linen jacket you’re wearing….what is it? And what are your favorite clothing companies in general? I like your style
Yea I wasn’t paying attention when I put it on my list, just a quick glance. In any case, the lot passed as I suspected it would. Condition wasn’t there.
How is the seller/auction fee SO high? Adam was talking about a watch that if it hammered at 35, it would be 50k all in. That seems waaay high to me for fees. No?
Amazing content, knowledgeable group of guys, great edits and format....Why does Nico Leonard have more Subs and views SMH....let's get this channel to 100k Subs
Amazing!!!!! Hodinkee sucks.... And almost every other watch content is boring or weird...... You made me watch a 48 minute video that I enjoyed almost like a good top gear episode or a mad max movie.......... Please, please, please keep the good work going....... We need more of this
I was following this auction and thought it might be worth a punt but considering you and other big hitters were there I'd be hopelessly out gunned .(know your limits!) great video with interesting back stores on the various watches.
There is nothing like this out there, the quality of the videos and combined with the knowledge.. wow!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@mentawatches great video. I would love to see more like this, thanks

Thanks a bunch!
So good....peerless content
More of this!!
Awesome video
great video, love the moving camera
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved every minute - but just to confirm sold prices include premium correct? I realize I could figure this out myself but I’m sitting on my butt with a cocktail currently so just thought I’d ask 🍸
Correct, that’s all in after auction fees, but before taxes/import/shipping.
Dude this is so random, I love that linen jacket you’re wearing….what is it? And what are your favorite clothing companies in general? I like your style
Are the sold prices listed including premium?
Yes, all-in
0:14 : The group scene in the beginning could be the intro of a great movie 😂, Titels in the comments below 👇

Reservoir Hogs
Great content, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Awesome vid!
Thanks!
the patek is a 533, not 130. yg are rarer than rg on this thicker bezel variant...
Yea I wasn’t paying attention when I put it on my list, just a quick glance. In any case, the lot passed as I suspected it would. Condition wasn’t there.
@@mentawatches congrats on the two tone. saw it at the presale in sg. you will do well on that
How is the seller/auction fee SO high?
Adam was talking about a watch that if it hammered at 35, it would be 50k all in. That seems waaay high to me for fees. No?
We were talking in CHF. Converted to USD and then add 25%
What about auction houses requesting a pre-auction financial checkup of a brand new unknown client ? 😮
Standard practice for as far back as I remember. Bidders back out on purchases way too often, I don’t blame them.
Amazing content, knowledgeable group of guys, great edits and format....Why does Nico Leonard have more Subs and views SMH....let's get this channel to 100k Subs
That’s ok, as long as the people watching enjoy it and learn something, good enough. Nico is a great dude!
Amazing!!!!! Hodinkee sucks.... And almost every other watch content is boring or weird...... You made me watch a 48 minute video that I enjoyed almost like a good top gear episode or a mad max movie.......... Please, please, please keep the good work going....... We need more of this

48 minutes of sexy bears! this is going to be a bumpy ride
professional underbidder, ive been one of those for 30 years :P
🥹
Davidoff has some soft hands when he handles those watches
Perpetual Underbidder 😂
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Almost like he's in the business of SELLING watches. Why would he upbid his potential inventory?
I was following this auction and thought it might be worth a punt but considering you and other big hitters were there I'd be hopelessly out gunned .(know your limits!)
great video with interesting back stores on the various watches.
Hard to steal stuff in these big public auctions these days sadly. Very little goes under the radar.
''I draw a line at a crack'', straight face quote of this video.
This is like porn to me. Ive totally lost it.
😝😝😝
Would it kill you to wear a suit?
For what?
