      Exactly how I see it, I buy because I like the watch not for what it may be worth in years to come. If I can afford it and I like it I will buy it. I had a Datejust 41 Wimbledon smooth bezel, jubilee from my AD yesterday and don't give a dam what its worth next week let alone in years to come.

    This is epic. Let me share my buying journey. Im a small business owner.
    So what i did was put 500 aside every month. 12 months got a tudor. 12 months later traded it in very small loss got a sub.
    12 months later got a batgirl. Mind you still fixed 500 a month all this time. Im very excited cause my nect watch will be in the 23 to 26k range probably a two tone. Then 32k range. All the way to my patek grail watch. If i do this right. It will be when i retire. My Ad knows to call me a few days before my birthday is for delivery on my birthday.
    You dont have to be very wealthy to own a nice piece. I cam from nothing, literally homeless. My watch is a remind that my time on this earth is precious. Wear your watches in good health.

    Thank you Charlie. Great video as always. When it comes to collecting watches, I always put the dial above everything. I always say that the watches are not an investment, but the dials are. Bracelets and bezels can always be replaced, but not the dials. Original dial will always look original. This is why I buy mostly the precious metal watches. First of all they sell with discounts, and secondly they come with very unique dials. I am very lucky to own three of my favorite most eye pleasing watches, Daytona Pikachu, Pepsi Meteorite, and Milgauss Z-blue.

    Charlie, love the videos and always happy to see a post by this page. Do you think a Yacht-Master 37 is getable on the spot at an AD? Rarely see this model covered online. As someone with smaller wrists, I think it’s an under-appreciated alternative to the Submariner.

    • @thehonestwatchdealer
      @thehonestwatchdealer  Месяц назад +2

      The ADs appear to have a smaller allocation of the Yacht-Master 37 in comparison to 40. It could take a while to receive one, but if you want one it’s worth putting your name down, just stay strong and don’t buy anything you don’t want 🙌🏻💯

    Interesting insights however I don't understand the games. I purchased a DateJust36 YG/Diamonds 126283RBR for the Mrs. & I've been waiting for a batgirl for 3 years now... Rolex also produces the most amout of inventory in the world and yet they still seem to be the scarcest. Games. SMH. Instead, I was tired of waiting and went to a Vacheron boutique and purchased a Corne de Vache and ordered Overseas with the Blue dial in Rose Gold that arrived less than month later. Completely different vibe and experience. Additionally, I've already been offered various high complication pieces since then. I like the Rolex GMT and all but if I'm honest about the AD experiences I've had and the time wasted waiting, I'd rather add a Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante to the collection. There are other fish in the sea so to speak.
