That 6238 was such a deal. Sold for 32k is almost like a new Daytonas in the secondary market but from any collecting value aspect on a completely different ballpark.
@@mentawatches Thanks so much Adam, all I know of LBJ is that he was brought by helicopter to BAMC (Brooke Army Medical Center) Ft. Sam Houston here in San Antonio when I was a kid. I saw him with my father when he was discharged from the hospital.
I've become addicted to high-end timepieces due to the extensive knowledge you share with your subscribers about various watches. I hope that one day I might hit the jackpot at a hidden estate sale or an unpopular online auction because of the information you provide
Great video! Thanks for the informational content, I love these auction videos. Is the sold price thats shown in the video the "final" price that the bidders paid or do you have to add like 25% for the auction house?
@@mentawatches I say "wow I've never seen that" often on your videos and I'm sitting here typing this while going through Christie's watch auctions results lol
I think the focus on vintage helps you stand out from the bulk of the watch channels that only cover the high-end moderns. As someone whose interest is primarily in vintage too (initially Heuer Carreras, now branching out into Speedmasters too), that only helps my enjoyment of the channel. I like the respect you give to Jack Heuer-era watches as well, too many watch RUclipsrs are only aware of the TAG era. Keep it up!
Like hunting for vintage watches you have to go through the process of learning and finding them. Just like You Tube once you find yourself through all the not so good channels you find gems like this that you learn from in every video.
Menta has quickly become one of my very favourite watch channels. Living your knowledge and access vicariously is a privilege. MOAR ADAM MOAR.❤
Haha thank you! We’re on it
I’ve said it before - these are great. Thanks Adam & Co.
Glad you like them!

Which country usually wins the bid?
The real golden rule is: You have the gold you make the rules

Thanks for watching!
The right price is the winning price.
a steel 222 would break internet
Great video! Thanks for the informational content, I love these auction videos.

Thank you for the Will Ferrell montage, the rest ok content although we're missing Jordan... Step of Golden and give the spotlight to baby blue eyez
I keep pushing him. He’s shy. We’ll get him there.

FAVOURITE WATCH CHANNNNNNEL NOWWWW LETS GOOO
Glad you enjoyed!
Instasubscribed for the thumbnail grail. WOW
Amazing part about Rolex vintage watches is that almost all of them (99%) are fake / frankensteins. Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.
Top tier content bro, love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
Pls update your wardrobe. Surplus look not working
Wouldn't it be boring if we all walked around the same way, everyone has their own style, just like with watches
