    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.

    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?
