    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.

    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.

    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?

    What about auction houses requesting a pre-auction financial checkup of a brand new unknown client ? 😮

    • @mentawatches

      Standard practice for as far back as I remember. Bidders back out on purchases way too often, I don’t blame them.
