We have strange fixations. Service items are verboten on collectors Rolex watches, but on the Moser, it is accepted without comment that they will replace the balance on service. Probably the most important part of the watch. I guess It's to do with cosmetics and dials at Rolex. But even like for like replacement is frowned upon there and elsewhere.
It's only the cosmetic parts that shouldn't (mustn't!) be replaced. If you replace the original dial on a vintage Rolex or a Speedmaster, you have drastically reduced the monetary value as well as the collector- and historical value. A mint original vintage bezel on a Speedmaster (a model I know better than I know Rolex) could cost $4000, similarly on a sought after vintage Rolex, I guess. The dial is even more expensive. Service parts for the movement is normal. Gaskets should be replaced. Often it's a good idea to change the tubes where the crown and pushers go through. After a long time, the main spring could loose some of it's ability to power the movement. Maybe some of the wheels are worn out and need replacements. Obviously, it has to be genuine parts and not parts from a 3rd party. In short: Don't replace cosmetic parts. Replacement of movement parts is ok. If you ignore this, you could easily cut the watch's value in half (or more!).
@@amundbjerve You are absolutely right about this. I guess the interesting thing is that these are choices, and perhaps slightly arbitrary ones at times. We have decided that as long as something looks original, then it is original. I'm not being argumentative, I put as high value on an unrefinished dial as anyone. It goes to the heart of what constitutes value, and as in everything else in life, these rules are constructs of the market. So be it...
I watched most of this, and don't recall any prices being give, are you clickbaiting us? Not that I could afford most of these, any of these, but?😅🤤👍😎✌🗽
@@stanwilson7040 lol, excuse my 62 year old eyes, I did in fact look at the description, and totally missed the prices. EXCUSE ME for missing the prices, and being a poor McDonald's worker. What a snob! 😎✌🗽
Great Ed White. On my wishlist but in 105.003 version.
My local ad has one, 105.003-65.
@@2K9s thanks 2023 acquisition already completed. Next acquisition is for 2024.
Excellent episode, first time in a while that I loved every watch on display.
The Calatrava weekly calendar, be still my heart.
The calibre in that Speedmaster is cool. But it ain’t $23k cool.
That HM&C’s dial looks similar to the pale jade paint in the living room of my beach condominium. I blended the paint myself to create a custom color.
Love that Carerra 🖤
Great collection.. Each and every watch has its own class.. Great Omega styles.. Thanks for sharing
I think that Patek Philippe 5212A may be my current grail 🤤
What about the 5204 in rose gold?😮
A watch worth working for
Ultra thin✔️
Quick change strap ✔️
Rubber strap option ✔️
Every link removable for smaller wrist ✔️
Gorgeous dial ✔️
$130,000 ... well crap 😭
On RM Price 😅 I would Buy a Patek, a Vacheron & an Breguet 🎉
Or A. Lange

The RM looks like a bad Invicta. I really don’t get that brand.
Agreed.
Money laundering. 😉

It's explained by the fact that only ten of the Mosers exist, as opposed to ten million Rolexes.

"I like affordable 3, 4, 5000 dollar watches" then pulls out an $11000 watch.

Greed
I still see these saps lining outside swatch stores begging for the Moonswatch, with security guards acting like they're the shit
Superb
