I just bought an 18K Movado watch from the 60s that if I try to sell, I know I'll probably take a bath, but it wasn't overly expensive and it's very clean and was sold by a reputable dealer whom I have experience with. The only thing that matters to me is that I like it. I'll leave my heirs to worry about resale value.
Hi there...just like to say that the beginning was great and the overall production quality seems to have improved a lot. Glad to hear someone who isn’t just complimenting Rolex.Because of Steve McQueens Rolex everyone assumes vintage pieces are valuable.Great to see you warning people about this type of watch. Great subject,interesting and useful content in a well presented package. Sound ,down to earth advice from someone who’s there.Keep up the excellent work.
I know some mob guys who would wear the hell out of that gold Rolex Cellini. You are lumping everyone in a box that should not be lumping. I can't stand modern Rolex because it looks all the same. The vintage watches you are showing look great and i would be proud to have them in my collection. I am not a solid gold all over kind of watch guy more of a two tone stainless and gold trim kind of guy but still would be great to own just for the gold content.
Hi Fernando.Another good informative video on the Rolex market.Its always nice to get others opinion on what's hot & what's not & only from a knowledgeable source such as yourself..It really would be very helpful & interesting if you could do more videos like this one on other makes & model's..I'm sure many others who watch would be interested in knowing this also?? Keep up the great work you provide & hope to hear from you!!!
The reason no one wants these old Rolexes is because no one promotes them. No one takes the time to do the history on them. That first Rolex you showed would make a great mens dress watch. Rolex fan boys push the GMT and so on and that is why those watches are so popular with today's buyers.If I had the money to buy these vintage Rolex pieces I would promote the hell out of them as dress watches but no one will do that because most watch channels are run by people who sell used watches and they will not promote what they can not sell for but hurt loads of money. And you can't say no one because I am someone who would buy that first one if I had the money and lifestyle toi do so.
I agree that the gold dress watches have a much smaller market than oyster models and sell at lower prices however they are also less common and have a pretty liquid market. They are more desirable in Europe than America; Americans seem to be less fond of traditional dress watches.
Fair enough, it really depends on the watch. The type of watch I'm referring to is too specific. I like the 1940's - 1950's 34mm-36mm dress models with an appealing dial, not the Cellini or any generic-looking 60's-70's watches. But yeah, most of the planet wants a Datejust or a Submariner.
Great video, as always Nando. Thank you for Sharing with us. Have you considered doing a video on how you prepare and photograph your watches. We always see your photo booth and photography accessories in the background. I just thought that might be an interesting video - Actually running us through your steps and preferences of how you do it. Al,
Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites on youtube. Youve hooked me on watches completely, and i really appreciate you sharing your wisdom and knowledge!
When you buy a brand new hypertech Mercedes car, you’re going to loose money. But if you like that car, you want drive it and you spend money. :-) What is wrong in your argument is the assumption: if you buy a Rolex you want to keep the value. No, this is wrong, sorry! If you buy, trade and sell that is ok because you want a profit. But if you are a collector or a private person you may want a Bubbleback or a Marconi (not just a Decó watch…) because you like it and you want it, no matter the price or the future value.
Hey, I like the 16013, the seller wants 4500 but the crown is missing from the bottom clasp and slightly scratched. I want to talk him down to 2200, is that possible.
I am not very good on watches, but looking to my kids & even early generations nobody care about any mechanical watches even now. Even me like mechanical but perpetual only. Sorry. Imho.
wear and buy what u want and love and looks good in. not for resell or investment purposes. i have a gorgeous looking 34mm 2 tone rolex which is 18K gold. some people say SS rolex is most wanted, especially SS sports models ... so what??? i wear what i like, not to flip or show off people i can buy submariner
Why are they charging so much? You would think it would make them more affordable. I want one watch with a rolex name. I might just give in and drop money on a sub.
Raymund Brown Lmao you sound dumb as fuck. Standing at your logic i can pronounce Hamburger "Imbargeruber" and i would still be right because it's a free country? ahahahah
Please, don't scrap high horology watches for scrap value. If you own a nice vintage watch, you´re a custodian. If you don't really, really need the money right now, that watch will be a collectable one day. Those are the kind of watches I definitely would buy, as an investment. Rolex-Tanks, Art deco-pieces and Cellinis will increase in price as smaller watchsizes gain popularity...
Thanks for a good, informative and down to earth video. I did not know that any Rolex models were that undesirable. It is sad when one has to scrap a mechanical (or rather any) watch for the gold value (I must say that I have done it myself, albeit only "noname"/standard ladies watches) but understandable when that value equals, and maybe even exceeds the value of the watch as a whole. Lastly, I love the sign on the wall behind you.
I want ArtDeco Rolex unfortunately prices are eather stupid or low for a thrashed watch, lots of them have repainted dials and "Rolex" stamped on the movement in a completely different font than the rest of the writings so they are fakes.
You're right about Cellini. They seem to be universally despised. But I liked it! Unbelievable bargain and it is loved by an audience of one (me).
I just bought an 18K Movado watch from the 60s that if I try to sell, I know I'll probably take a bath, but it wasn't overly expensive and it's very clean and was sold by a reputable dealer whom I have experience with.

People dont seem to like speed king or air King but i dig it ❤️💪😁
Only Rolex I can afford I think is an old 40s Marconi or something. Fuck it, I'm going in!!!!!

The thing is a couple of these I would love to have but people want to much for them.
Engine turned bezel are rare only hand full made in the world 🌍

Amen on the Cellinis. That's some serious hurt once purchased. Just like girrard perregaux....
Girrard P. Is a very hard sell as well but I great watch to collect
Thx for this review dude. Always good to know so we don’t get hooked in the wrong direction!
Thank you

It's done I will release it soon, thank you
Really good video and food for thought. These watches are all over eBay and sometimes for stupid prices aimed at newbies.
Hey Marc thank you so much for watching, I'm catching up just saw your resale value video you posted that video is a homerun. 🤗
Marc Goldberg ya with titles like “rare” trying to catch the sucker

I sell a lot to Europe and I have no intrest there either in those models

Guess I'm kidding myself. Like all art, buy it if you like it. If you don't, then don't buy it regardless of what anyone says. Tastes change.

Good idea I will make a video on that, thanks 😁
Very useful for a novice like me!! Many thanks.
I never had to get rid of the watch.... Soooo... Save it.
Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites on youtube. Youve hooked me on watches completely, and i really appreciate you sharing your wisdom and knowledge!
Thanks again. N.O.P. Your content is always fantastic. Honest and to the point. I'm heart broken the art deco is Beautiful...
Me to I will always love art deco even if I lose money on it
Very useful information, thanks. How about a video on your top 10 desirable/collectable Rolexes.
Great video.

Hi I have heard that Rolex a not servicing some older Rolex watches and recalling all tools and any spare parts is that correct great vid
Hey, I like the 16013, the seller wants 4500 but the crown is missing from the bottom clasp and slightly scratched. I want to talk him down to 2200, is that possible.
dont waste your money buy something else
That's not a original bracelet it's just a watch head take that in to consideration in your offer
The 16013 is 🔥 but find a good speciment👍👌
Another great video! You need a lot more subs!!!
Thank you
Nice video very interesting. What is your opinion about the celini prince? They look very elegant. Thanks
20 years from now all Rolexes will be worth a nice chunk of change if it is vintage... Except for the Cellini - those are some garbage...
I am not very good on watches, but looking to my kids & even early generations nobody care about any mechanical watches even now. Even me like mechanical but perpetual only. Sorry. Imho.
great video!the vintage art deco rolex is very beautiful!A cheap alternative to the Patek gondolo
Glad he didn't mention my two tone 1505 1970
No mention of the Oysterquartz. I'd never buy one.
That model has a strong following
wear and buy what u want and love and looks good in. not for resell or investment purposes. i have a gorgeous looking 34mm 2 tone rolex which is 18K gold. some people say SS rolex is most wanted, especially SS sports models ... so what??? i wear what i like, not to flip or show off people i can buy submariner
I don't think this guy knows what he's talking about...
Lol, a statement without a explanation is worthless
Why are they charging so much? You would think it would make them more affordable. I want one watch with a rolex name. I might just give in and drop money on a sub.
The problem it that the current owner's think they have a gold mine there but there's no intrest on the watches
Rolex should just stop making the Cellini and put the effort into something else.
Sometimes a company is so full of its self that they think they can do no wrong
Nice video, but you need to know that Cellini isn't pronounced "Sellini" but "Chellini"
Lol if you try to correct a watch dealer in its pronunciation you will be deemed a newbie immediately everyone has a different pronunciation
Collecting Vintage Watches Nope, Cellini is an italian word and it HAS to be pronounced "Chellini"
Who says it has to? It's still a free country, what are you going to do, take away his birthday???
Raymund Brown Lmao you sound dumb as fuck. Standing at your logic i can pronounce Hamburger "Imbargeruber" and i would still be right because it's a free country? ahahahah
I'm more than happy to have any unwanted Rolex watches if the so shit give an me lol
Nice intro
Thank you
Another great video from you. Thanks for sharing!
Liked and subbed. Have a Rolex Marconi
I quite like the Cartier style one. Shame really.
Rolex Cellini they they have big normal models not those vintage ones you showed lol.
