    For the first time in my life, someone convinced me why quality watches are expensive. The level of precision involved and the time invested in assembling a watch is definitely valuable. All the major watch makers should hire you to promote their product rather than some race car driver, guys on a yacht or a bikini clad woman. I watched the video so much concentration that I need coffee now. Bravo, the Watch Surgeon.

      I have a few. Rolex GMT, Breitling Navitimer, ... they can be good investments too. My GMT was a retirement gift from my wife. We paid $3600 in 2003. I had overhauled at Rolex last year. The watch shop said that my watch is going $8k-$10k. Watching videos like this shows why they’re so expensive.

      @@occultustactical6138 Rolex is one of a few brands that have gone up in price, Breitling you need to be a bit more selective for it to go up in value but alot of watches hold their value pretty good, best is to buy a good used one and in the end you wont lose any money, if you are lucky you will get more.

      A long time ago I watched a show on watch reair teachers and there was only one left in the United states and he was ready to retire. They say watch repair or is one of the most scarce occupations around now in North America and if you were to learn the trade could make over $350,000.00 a year. Clocks included though which I would assume would be a walk in the park after working on watches.

I've had expensive watches repaired, and they didnt even offer to give the watch or bracelet a polish and I had to purchase a new bracelet. Live and learn, I guess.

      However a good friend of mine who was a committed watch lover absolutely adored them, the more rare the better. His opinion of watches was based on a lifetime of research and ownership, reading every auction catalogue, competing against the other collectors.....whereas my opinion is based on pure ignorance.
      I know nothing about this timepiece, but I have to say I think it is a beautiful, astonishing machine and will likely last a good man a good lifetime. And yes, seeing this piece, I am now a fan of Breitlings.

    • @salty-as-heck9915
      @salty-as-heck9915 4 года назад

      I wouldn't say neglected. Looks to be an early 90's Breitling. Someone probably wore it as their only watch for 20 years until it finally gave up the ghost for lack of servicing. You can tell they wore that watch everywhere and did everything with it. Then it probably sat in a drawer for another 5+ years until this guy bought it and serviced it. Personally, I would not have polished the actual watch case, and I think the hands should not have been lumed. It is a vintage watch after all, and believe it or not that hurts resale value. A good service and maybe a light polish of the bracelet, and recoloring the bezel markings was all she really needed. But still, his watch and he can do what he likes with it, and as far as restorations go it was still a good one (even with the lume and the light case polishing.)

      In the world of mechanical watches, a Breitling like this is, to a certain degree, not considered expensive.
      This one looks like it has been worn for a long period of time, so it most likely has just been replaced with another watch

      Dear M. C.
      Not interested and/or dumb inheritants? Or maybe somebody who thinks that a wrist watch is unnecessary ballast and not useful any longer because there is already a multifunctional watch in every smartphone?
      Best regards, luck and health.

      This model is not a expensive, in the 80's the colt was around 800 Dollars. For non watch -lovers ist only a old dirty watch.

      Rich people. I was in line at a thrift store one time to pay for an item and when I got to the cash register there was a basket of watches sitting there. I did a quick look and pulled out an incredible Tag Heuer from the basket. I asked the guy how much for the watches and he told me "watches are a $1 each" I almost shit myself. How it got there I'll never know.
