Pisses me off watching Charlie size that Sub. My AD salesman doesn’t know ANYTHING about sizing and I’ve had to instruct HER how to do it. Wish Charlie was in Texas!!
Some old lady sized mine and my lads ng came back scratched, but waited that long …. What do you do? Clasp still not level, even though I told them how I wanted it 🤦🏼♂️😡
It depends on the watch ⌚ and strongly depends on the client ! If it's an unworn , NOS , Like New , Slider, Mint , Fully stickered then obviously it's not getting a polish !! Also if it's a Vintage Watch ⌚ that has seen plenty of love & wrist time then you most likely won't want to touch it , you'd leave it up to thr client that buys it & offer the service! Unless of course it's not a really crazy/rare model/ reference that doesn't become effected by a perfect polish to bring it back to life like it just left the AD showroom floor. Now for modern watches especially stainless steel models , ceramic bezel models , those will not Patina !!! Also it's not a precious metal ( if Stainless steel ) So to touch up a modern ss sports model or a light touch up nothing's wrong with that ! But if it's not bad and just some normal wear and hairline scratches then usually you don't want to touch it unless the client ask for it be done ✅👍🏻. Also as well as gashes , chips of metal gashed out then you need a laser filling and refinish,.polish etc . But when it comes down to the "NEVER POLISH ANY WATCH ⌚) thats mainly only for rare vintage references . For those you're better off just buying a new factory bracelet , putting the original in the safe / safety deposit box and putting the brand new one on ✔️✅
This episode is getting exciting, it shows there staff is really checking the watch’s , great reputation company . Catching out the fake Daytona. Very suspicious when the box didn’t have its white outer sleeve and no white tag . Very incomplete set , can’t wait for next episode when Charlie questions this person about the Daytona and the client crumbles .
@@thehonestwatchdealer One day you guys will expand with the Quality you put out. I just hope its in the USA. Orlando Florida preferably, but anywhere in Florida would make me happy! 😀
Thanks so much for the support as always, so happy to hear you’re enjoying the new series! The white swing tag has become essential to a lot of our clients 🙌🏻💯
Thanks for the support mate, so glad to hear you’re enjoying the series! Absolutely stunning dial mate, a really special combination. Our advice is always if you like it, you should buy it 🙌🏻👌🏻
Never considered an independent til now. Attention to detail, and a lot of respect for the guy buying a standard sub, recognising that in the real world it is still a lot of money. I'll be a customer soon.
Happy days, a new episode. Great job, guys ! I would have loved my AD to make the handover the way you did. My adjustment is wonky, the clasp is more on one side than the other. My next watch will come from you, I can feel it : )
So glad to hear you’re enjoying the new series mate, I really appreciate the support! Whenever you’re ready to make a purchase, we’d be more than happy to help 🙌🏻💯
So glad to hear you’re enjoying the content, mate! That would be amazing, we’d love to meet you! When you’re next in the UK, you know where to find us 🙌🏻💯
35:36 - I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the AD has dated it in US English format. I have seen some cards with the dates in US English format before. E.g. rather than putting 4/3/24 for 4th March 2024, they've put 3/4/24. But let's wait and see! Also, random question, which loupes do you guys use? Thanks!
The team also considered this mate, however, it still wasn’t a possible date! The loupe we use most regularly is called the connoisseur - the one with the built in light - we couldn’t run our business without it 🙌🏻💯
Hi I absolutely love watches and I’m always watching different videos on RUclips I came across your videos by accident and I’ve got to say it’s definitely the best out there I’ve recommended it all to my friends keep up the good work 👍
@@scottturner7063 Hi Scott, it’s not a bother at all, mate! We’ve got a merchandise section on our website - I’ve put the link below for you to have a closer look… theluxurywatchcompany.com/product-category/merchandise/
I’d switch out the air tags for another tracker mate, them Apple ones notify anyone with a smart phone it’s near by. Someone stuck one on my car afew months ago and it told me straight away.
Really enjoying this series you've put together. Brilliant editing and great insights into the watch dealing business. Keep up the great work all. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks mate really appreciate that, a lot of work went into these and its definitely paid off with the end result 👍 so glad you like them, plenty more on the way for you
Brilliant, I can’t wait to come in for my Sub’ n/d. Hurry up and get episode four out, I’m looking forward to seeing Charlie launch the scammer down the stairs
Love the channel its getting better and better. I love watches and have many and did want a Rolex in the past but no longer for multiple reasons. Every recent owner I personally know isn't into watches they have got because its a measure of life status and how well they are doing they know zero about watches but just want the crown. I have also known of recent thefts personally, so sadly no longer worth the risks the justice system does not even punish the theives if caught! I I also don't want to look like "showing off" not for me. Carry on the good content though even though I won't buy hope my views and sub slightly helps the channel 🙂
Trouble with Rolex is that much of their prestige has been artificially created through marketing. As they increase production dramatically over the next 5 years, the hype will go down. And at the moment you have to either sweet-talk a salesman or pay over the odds to get one. A Submariner isn’t any better than a Seamaster, and the latter has 100 years more brand history behind it. Anyone else rather keep their dignity and go elsewhere? 😏
Amazing job by all the team. Also Charlie is nice enough to answer my quesitons on Whatsapp, even though I am not in the UK and less likely to have business with him. Just a nice, firm businessman!
How are the flippers getting them? You don’t get these type of watches without a huge spend🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ The AD’s have to be crooked, it’s the only plausible answer!! And yes, it pisses me off too! I’ve had to spend over £90k before being told “ I’m next in-line “ for a steel Daytona !, But I/we keep & wear every watch we have! It’s a bullshit hobby for sure !
So no attempt at checking whether the snickered watches are superstores, lost or stolen. Anyone thinking of buying from this gray market shark better think again....and run!
This is great an’ all, but to be so obsessed about not getting the tiniest hairline scratch while sizing the bracelet for what is designed as a tool watch only reminds me how bonkers our hobby is, when viewed by the “normies”.
Imagine getting a train from London and not noticing the date isn’t right before you travel 😂 Things you don’t see that happen , things you wouldn’t think of happening. Loving this series!
Garbage. Rolex ADs will measure your wrist and Rolex have an app that ADs have which tells them exactly how many links to add/remove and where the clasp needs to be micro adjusted to.
@@_The_Archer - I've had it 3 times, the last one in Jun 23. 2 different ADs, both measured my wrist with a tape, looked at a chart, popped out the back to make the change and bingo. I've no idea how an App could improve on that 🤷🏻♂️

You guys are smashing it with these films. I’d binge your box set if there was one 😂
Haha thanks mate, so pleased you enjoy them! 🙏 Plenty more to come!
I absolutely agree. These episodes fit a niche that appeals to me.
Why do you polish so many of your watches if the majority of them are nearly new or unworn?
John the polish is doing some contracting work.
@@iandavenport4794 Sometimes Polishing watches is like painting an old car to make it look like it’s hardly had any use 😂
@@Madeinlondon67 that's a good question, I thought the watches bought where only as new condition?

You should have said that scratched screw adds to the patina, and it tells a story. Like the day I went to collect my Sub.😊😇👑
You didn't show the Yatch master yellow gold and oyster flex. I was looking for it?

I should have bought my first Rolex from you. Just for the pleasant experience. You seem like a good honest bloke.

Also are you sure the bezel protectors aren’t a thing anymore? My new gmt I picked up last week had them
We also still receive them with brand new timepieces, it’s just extremely rare these days! 🙌🏻
Good attention to details. Don’t understand why clients are so picky. Watches are meant to be worn, eventually it’ll have scratches.
