Why are you guys hating on him? That‘s his business and he very transparently says what he will pay for those watches. And he says „unless you really want this watch, it‘s a pass.“ You should not blame him, but all the flippers. I have bought Rolex watches from my AD and also from the grey market, it‘s my choice, isn‘t it? And if I get bored sometime I try to not loose money when selling them, is there something wrong with it?
You know what i like about you guys. You just tell us straight what your paying for the watch. No b.s no games. full transparency. You say we add our margin. I really appreciate that. it gives me a good idea of where the market is. i dont think any other channel gives you the real price for the dealer and the resale.
Glad I was able to get the Pepsi on Jubilee from the AD in late '22. Asked for it end of Jan '22 to celebrate a significant work promotion and 20 years with my wife. When my wife and I went to that city to celebrate our anniversary, I stopped into the AD in October to say hi and they surprised me with the watch and a delicious anniversary cake. Haven't bought a watch since.
Trying to understand the "unless you really want it" caveat. As a watch collector/enthusiasm shouldn't you really want every watch you buy? That has been my experience with all my watch purchases
This dude also thinks a ‘buyers’ market is when you’re still paying over MSRP 2nd hand…. He’s a clown who is talking to people who think they need to buy and flip watches from their AD to get a Batman a little quicker….
You guys don't seem to understand that he's a luxury watch dealer. He's not a watch collector. He's speaking to his audience in terms of investment and flipping. His caveat of "unless you really want it" is just that. He's saying if you want to buy it to keep and wear, definitely buy it. If you want to buy it to flip or as an investment asset, DO NOT BUY. I personally buy to wear, but it's still good insight from him on where the watch market is.
Hi Charlie thanks for sharing these insights! Two questions: - 228238 day date yellow gold and green dial, 2023, new, unworn. Do you think it will increase its market value? Do you think it will be discontinued? - 116518 Daytona Oysterflex Pikachu, 2023, new and unworn. Do you think it will decrease its value due to the new reference? Better to sell it soon or to keep and wait? Thank you!
Keep checking back to see about any mention of the WG Meteorite Pepsi. Rarely covered watch. Is that going away? Would love your take on it just in general… like/dislike… etc… regardless great content 👏
Charlie great video as always! Since prices are soft on most models do you think discounts will be back? I remember some years ago when 25-30% discount was common on many models except Steel Daytonas.
I'm sure these stories aren't meant to be comedy but they're hilarious. Pushing his agenda based on his stock trying to convince us the used watch market isn't fucked. Priceless.
Well if he's saying he'll sell you those watches under SRP....... He has to be buying them at lower then what he sells them for, and it would appear that there's more then enough people willing to sell them to him at those prices so............... If you buy a watch because you want it then you can pay full retail if you can find someone to sell it to you. Or you can buy it on the gray for less then retail and actually buy it.
Hey Charlie, the new 126519LN black dial baton markers is an absolute killer. I have the original Oysterflex 'PN' and struggled to find anything as cool to pair it with. That is until I took delivery of my new Oysterflex 'Baby Le Mans'. Try one and post a video as I suspect you'll be overwhelmed by how under-the-radar it is, while being the most balanced aesthetics in decades! Great content and will drop by when next in the UK.
Great channel, subbed! What are your thoughts on the Datejust 41 MOP and diamond dial? They don't sell them in 41mm anymore, so would it be a good buy now that it's discontinued, or is it a pass?
Hi Charlie. Love your vids. Looking to buy my first piece. Have you got any 36mm dates fluted bezel, jubilee strap silver dials in and if so, what would you sell for atm? Really appreciate an answer as looking to buy v soon if possible 👍🏻
Thank you for this content. Can you explain to me HOW I build my relationship to even land the first watch? I went straight to watches of Switzerland and they’ve not gotten back to me since May last year..
You are very welcome, thank you for watching I really appreciate it! Yes so friendly communication, pop in to see them every now and then to remind them who you are - should be a good starting point!
You've made my mind up from my question the other day, the watch is for me so I'm going for the grnr 126713 steel and gold GMT. Thanks mate, invaluable advice as always.
Charlie! Thank you for putting out this content. Quick one, I got offered from my AD an Explorer 40 and a DS D-Blue J Cameron. Is any of these two worth having at retail? And would any of these go for over that? Thank you! Appreciate your work!
You are welcome mate, thanks for watching! Unfortunately the JC would be under, and the Explorer would get you list - so no profit but could get your spend up 👍
Hey Charlie....I ordered a 42mm Explorer II Polar Dial in October from an AD for my personal watch. Still hasnt come in. This one isnt for resale....its for me for my life then to leave to my son. Do you have any idea how long I will have to wait to receive it from Rolex? Tks Mate.
I have the new two tone GMT. Love it! Cannot believe it’s below retail already or at I should say. What are your thoughts of them having a short run on that? I don’t know why but I feel it’s going to be a short one year run. Holding it for that reason and because I love it. Fully stickered and haven’t worn it
Beautiful dial! Don’t see many on the market, not an easy watch to get your hands on. If you’re looking to sell, however, you’d likely lose a little due to high RRP 🙌🏻
what are your thoughts on the chocolate diamond datejust 41 you showed at around 2:11? right now the retail is about $16350 US. Would you pass? and do u think it would hold its value well?
Lovely, I am about to pull the trigger on an oyster flex Daytona, pikachu or ghost, those are my favorite in the whole range, my SA went into the vault to get a ghost out for me to try and it was love at first sight.
I don't know why these people try to discourage anyone from buying certain Rolex watches, especially if they're Rolex lovers the reason why I think they are doing this is because for most gray dealers, is better if there is low interest in these watches from customers so you can buy them for and resell them at some point, you have to remember not everyone wants to buy and sell watches to make a profit without doing any of the hard work, these people are not watchmakers, they are not authorized dealers however they are part of the problem why a lot of these true watch enthusiasts aren't able to get these watches. I can't wait for the day everything settles back, and these guys are no longer taking advantage of people.
You are right. The gray dealers want to keep the hype going. But the market is cooling. Now Covid is over, people are spending on other things like holiday. In the UK mortgage rates are higher than two years ago for those on variable rate mortgages. In the US the stock market is rising so people want to buy more stocks and ETFs. Everything is cyclical. It won’t be long before you can walk into a Rolex dealer and be offered one of a wide range of steel watches again, even if it’s not the Daytonas or some of the GMTs.
Nice video and feedback. What about the yellow gold day-date green dial roman? Found a 2022 model unused for about USD 11 above retail. I find that to be crazy high. I already have my name on list with Rolex, but its a wait 😅
Such a nice and homest update guys! I bought the jubilee pepsi a few months ago from my AD and I am so excited with this watch. If it will be discontinued, do you believe that its price will go up in the grey market?
Thank you mate I appreciate that, glad you liked the content! Congratulations on securing one, such a stunning watch. Hard to say how the market will react, we will see what happens in March! 🙌
Good video btw, and beautiful collection on your website. I think you're spot on, most models you reference to as the ones to get are also the ones I like the most and are on offer with you so good job on that one
Hi mate Just went through your website. Could not find my specification datejust. 36, fluted, jubilee, black dial with diamonds. Got mine from an AD. In the video you mentioned Blue green & wimbledon. What category is the the black?
I don’t wear Rolex because I don’t like putting myself in the spotlight for becoming a target. Society is broken and I wouldn’t ever wear a luxury watch in public.
Do you think one of the 4 special dials of the Daytona Oysterflex will be an pass later this year? Or do you expect it to be an overlist watch even with the market softening?
Hi. I have a Dial DateJust Bright Black set with Diamondss , Oyster, 31mm, Oystersteel and Everose Gold year 2019. Can you confirm that the resell value for this watch is low? Can you suggest any good value watch for size 36mm for DateJust to buy?
How the tables are turning at the AD. If people get back to just buying what they want rather than flipping. What dies that mean for the grey market? You’ll surely all be left holding stock nobody actually wants anymore.
Great video. Glad to see the profit from flipping watches evaporate. This means greater access for people who really want the to wear them. Soon the prices will really start falling under retail.
I've have a gold Rolex sky dweller 2022 black dial and love it. Issue is I have come up with some unexpected financial problems and need to get rid of it. Cant find where to sell 😭😭
God those Oysterflex Daytona’s are gorgeous. Looking forward to hearing about your new project. Must be something special since you gave up wearing your Pikachu for it 😂
Appreciate you being straight with us. Looks like the market is definitely cooling off! I'd certainly say by late this year or early next year you're going to be seeing a whole lot of people getting "the call" from their AD again if not being able to get these on a walk--in!!
Great info to share although this is such a bizarre situation. Much like the sneaker market people are buying these products just to flip rather than enjoy. It’s nice to know the item you buy retains some value but this has gotten insane.
Tks Mate, do you agree that in the world of luxury Watches, what is today a must Pass it also could easily be Definitely a grab maybe just a year later?
Paid a deposit to my ad for a special dial datejust 41 , it was the green fluted motif on a jubilee band , they requested a deposit as it is such a rare dial they can put in a special order , got a call on Thursday that Rolex hq has got back to them and informed that the fluted motif dials are being discontinued and they aren’t taking any orders so i had to change my order to the green mint dial , just a heads up good time to buy the green or blue motif dials
Hi, how much should I pay for this ? Is it a pass ?? Pre-owned Rolex Datejust Wimbledon dial jubilee bracelet and white gold fluted bezel. Comes in full set with box and papers
Hello from Portugal. Looking for May first Rolex. At a AD I can buy a 41 datejust everose, chocolate and diamond dial, jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel or a 41 datejust grey dial with Diamonds, fluted bezel and jubilee. Wich do you recomend?
Hello from North Yorkshire, Andre! Thank you for the question, feel free to contact us through the website and we will advise you as best as we can 🙌 www.theluxurywatchcompany.com
I own the previous Ghost. Love the watch! But I also want to get this years model on the Oysteflex with the black dial and the silver sub dials; the inverse of the Ghost. That watch just looks amazing and the black dial just pulls the watch together nicely.
continuing to appreciate your honest take of the market. very useful. I don't tend to take used cost into account when I buy, but still interesting nonetheless
should I get an OP 36mm if I get offered one from AD? I'm not looking to resell but don't want to lose out on what I'm paying for it. It's an entry level so, I'd love your thoughts on it
How do you tell anyone to pass on a watch that they really like as if everyone is looking to resell. I think the percentage of people who actually buy Rolex watches to enjoy is much higher than those looking to buy for resell.
What is your preference of a yacht master vs a submariner. I’m looking for personal use (never resell) but would prefer a watch that will hold its value.
Both stunning models, the Submariner is a lot more popular being the flagship model. But if it’s going to be to wear and enjoy it will come down to your personal taste!
honest and integrity? he deleted my comment asking why he is asking 19k over retail for watches he says is a 1 million% pass because they are trading for below retail
The full precious metal models are struggling in the current market, if its for a quick flip then best to pass. As a long term hold it should hold its value well 🙌
What about the 116508 full yellow gold Daytona ( full gold pikachu ) do you think it’s a good time to buy ? And is it a nice investment piece on the long run ?
I received a WhatsApp from an AD in Knightsbridge last week offering me a watch. The watch offered might now be an under RRP watch 😱 I have already purchased, enjoying wearing, & that’s often overlooked 🙏
Call me crazy. I purchased my All Gold Rolex last year because I have a passion for nice watches, not because I could make money reselling it.
He assumes everyone is a flipper. Very strange.
Why are you guys hating on him? That‘s his business and he very transparently says what he will pay for those watches. And he says „unless you really want this watch, it‘s a pass.“ You should not blame him, but all the flippers.
I have bought Rolex watches from my AD and also from the grey market, it‘s my choice, isn‘t it? And if I get bored sometime I try to not loose money when selling them, is there something wrong with it?
100% correct, really buy a watch you want to wear !!! Who cares if you lose a few quid
I think you are not crazy but just mad because you where hoping to make money when you might sell those watches one day.
By the way, why would you pay 5k more for a watch? Of course it‘s a pass, why not buy from grey market for less money?
You know what i like about you guys. You just tell us straight what your paying for the watch. No b.s no games. full transparency. You say we add our margin. I really appreciate that. it gives me a good idea of where the market is. i dont think any other channel gives you the real price for the dealer and the resale.

I'm guessing that's why the channel is called Honest Watch Dealer..... just a hunch.
@@thehonestwatchdealercan we buy rolex direct from you Sir?
Great update. Perhaps it is time the flippers said goodbye to their ADs and started leaving pieces for people who actually want to buy and own them.
Thanks mate glad you liked this one, appreciate you watching 🙏
@@thehonestwatchdealeryou never read his post did you
Its a big corrupt profitable business and you aint in it.
Sorry i dont buy from the greys let alone buying used.
If you sold the 2 tone Datejust in 1 minute does that mean you bought it too low from the seller and sold it too low?
You know what is also a pass? Buying new Rolexes from a gray market dealer.
How else would rich people buy hot steel sports Rolexes without waiting ?
@@Coolguy24686 they buy a ton of non-Rolex watches, and jewelry at their local dealer. That moves them way up on the wait list.
Glad I was able to get the Pepsi on Jubilee from the AD in late '22. Asked for it end of Jan '22 to celebrate a significant work promotion and 20 years with my wife. When my wife and I went to that city to celebrate our anniversary, I stopped into the AD in October to say hi and they surprised me with the watch and a delicious anniversary cake. Haven't bought a watch since.
That’s incredible! And such a great one to get - congratulations mate 🙌
Buying a watch for thousands of over retail? It a million percent pass!
I am big watch guy with very nice collection off watches, never ever pay over retail, it is just a watch not life saving medicine for my kids ,
Trying to understand the "unless you really want it" caveat. As a watch collector/enthusiasm shouldn't you really want every watch you buy? That has been my experience with all my watch purchases
I lol'd at that comment, too.

Hello Charlie i can remember you tubers 18 months ago saying that this day was never going to happen again and here you are proven them wrong.
It's just getting started
Ah thank you mate, will be interesting year ahead that’s for sure!
Should I buy the meteorite gmt from the AD? What is the current price on the preowned market?
Should be a highly collectible one for the future, can be slow movers but could be a profit in it 👍
Hi Charlie thanks for sharing these insights! Two questions:
- 228238 day date yellow gold and green dial, 2023, new, unworn. Do you think it will increase its market value? Do you think it will be discontinued?
- 116518 Daytona Oysterflex Pikachu, 2023, new and unworn. Do you think it will decrease its value due to the new reference? Better to sell it soon or to keep and wait?
Thank you!
You are welcome and thank you for watching!
Yes both of these are greta models and should be great at holding value over the long run 👌
Keep checking back to see about any mention of the WG Meteorite Pepsi. Rarely covered watch. Is that going away? Would love your take on it just in general… like/dislike… etc… regardless great content 👏

You never know, maybe they will bring them back, fingers crossed 🤞
Thank you, Charlie. I have heard you have any ideas of Rolex 1908? Hold or pass if AD offering to me. I look forward to hearing from you
Very hard to say so far with not many in the market, this one would be one to wait a while and see how the market reacts 👌
Got a daydate gold w blue dial for $9200. Think im in good shape. Not rush to sell.
Stunning combination mate, enjoy that one! 🙌
Nice buy or pass video! How about the Yacht Master 40 Rhodium or Sub date and no date ?
Thank you mate!
The Submariners are good to go for, the Yachtmasters are under 👍
I'm sure these stories aren't meant to be comedy but they're hilarious.

Thank you mate I really appreciate that, hope you are well! 🙌
Great video yet again Charlie. The best channel for honesty and transparency in market pricing!
Thank you John, really appreciate that! 🙏
Hey Charlie, the new 126519LN black dial baton markers is an absolute killer. I have the original Oysterflex 'PN' and struggled to find anything as cool to pair it with. That is until I took delivery of my new Oysterflex 'Baby Le Mans'. Try one and post a video as I suspect you'll be overwhelmed by how under-the-radar it is, while being the most balanced aesthetics in decades!
Great content and will drop by when next in the UK.
Thank you for watching Marco!
You are right there, such a stunning under the radar model, hopefully we get one in soon! 🙌
Now I’m not so sure if I should go buy the bluesy if I get the call from my ad!
If you love the watch..a million percent yes..
Such a stunning model, if you are buying to wear and enjoy, go for it! Only slightly underlist 👍
Great channel, subbed! What are your thoughts on the Datejust 41 MOP and diamond dial? They don't sell them in 41mm anymore, so would it be a good buy now that it's discontinued, or is it a pass?
Thank you Jay, I really appreciate that.
Such a stunning combination and incredibly rare dial - could be a good one to hold for the long term 👌
Hi Charlie. Love your vids. Looking to buy my first piece. Have you got any 36mm dates fluted bezel, jubilee strap silver dials in and if so, what would you sell for atm? Really appreciate an answer as looking to buy v soon if possible 👍🏻
Not at the moment.
But register your interest via the website and we can let you know when we get one in 👍

It’s a buy all day long
Very good one to get 👌🏻

How is the value of the discontinue choc dial Daytona oyster flex? It’s gorgeous
Such a stunning model, has dropped but been pretty stable recently!
Charlie! Thank you for putting out this content. Quick one, I got offered from my AD an Explorer 40 and a DS D-Blue J Cameron. Is any of these two worth having at retail? And would any of these go for over that? Thank you! Appreciate your work!
You are welcome mate, thanks for watching!
Unfortunately the JC would be under, and the Explorer would get you list - so no profit but could get your spend up 👍

Hi Greg, stunning choice!
Unfortunately not, each AD gets their own allocations so I’m afraid only they would be able to let you know 👍
It took me 8 months in Chicago.
Charlie, you haven't mentioned anything about SD43, any opinion on those?
Slightly underlist these models, still a good one to get to wear and enjoy 👌

Hiya great video, when discussing the 41mm Datejust dial colour you didn’t mention the Azzuro Blue, is that a pass or yes ? Thanks
Not as popular as the standard blue unfortunately 👍
What about the Datejust 36 or 41 mother of pearl diamond dial?
Beautiful dial! Don’t see many on the market, not an easy watch to get your hands on. If you’re looking to sell, however, you’d likely lose a little due to high RRP 🙌🏻
Thank you , very informative and honest Video
You are very welcome! Glad you liked this one 👍
Thank you for a good video. I was just wondering if a no date submariner is a buy or pass?
Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it and so pleased to hear you enjoyed the content!
That is a buy!! 🙌
What’s the website you reference with the pricing trend graph? Looks useful.
This would be Chrono24, if you make an account on there you should have access to them 👍
what are your thoughts on the chocolate diamond datejust 41 you showed at around 2:11? right now the retail is about $16350 US. Would you pass? and do u think it would hold its value well?
It’s a tough one, very hard to come across but they have a very small market.
Likely overlist but would take a while to sell 👍
Great video. Thoughts on DJ 41 black dial, oyster bracelet, smooth bezel?
Thank you mate! Stunning model, though not as popular as some of the other combinations 👍

Lovely, I am about to pull the trigger on an oyster flex Daytona, pikachu or ghost, those are my favorite in the whole range, my SA went into the vault to get a ghost out for me to try and it was love at first sight.

White gold black dial new ref isnt selling below retail anywhere and Charlie says pass? Cheapest iv seen is 12k over retail Australian dollars that is
@@donaldmckinney1333 agree mate. No way I pass on that from an AD as well! Plus that would kill AD relationship
99% of watches loose value after you buy them.
Buying as an investment is moronic.
Not with rolex, patek, AP etc thats the point hes making

Do you think one of the 4 special dials of the Daytona Oysterflex will be an pass later this year? Or do you expect it to be an overlist watch even with the market softening?
Should be definitely sought after still.
Will be interesting to see what happens! 🙌
Hi. I have a Dial DateJust Bright Black set with Diamondss , Oyster, 31mm, Oystersteel and Everose Gold year 2019. Can you confirm that the resell value for this watch is low?
Can you suggest any good value watch for size 36mm for DateJust to buy?

Appreciate the honesty on this one!
Thank you mate, glad you liked this one. Thanks for watching! 🙌
How the tables are turning at the AD. If people get back to just buying what they want rather than flipping. What dies that mean for the grey market? You’ll surely all be left holding stock nobody actually wants anymore.
Great video. Glad to see the profit from flipping watches evaporate. This means greater access for people who really want the to wear them. Soon the prices will really start falling under retail.
Thanks mate glad to hear you liked this one!
Will be interesting to see how the market plays out this year 👌🏻
I've have a gold Rolex sky dweller 2022 black dial and love it. Issue is I have come up with some unexpected financial problems and need to get rid of it. Cant find where to sell 😭😭
Sorry to hear that! It’s a shame such a stunning watch can be so difficult to sell! 😔
God those Oysterflex Daytona’s are gorgeous. Looking forward to hearing about your new project. Must be something special since you gave up wearing your Pikachu for it 😂
Stunning aren't they Michael!
It should be launching soon, stay tuned! 🙌
starbucks lefty? Worth buying or just a swing and a miss?
Both the Starbucks and the Sprite are good ones to go for 👍
Appreciate you being straight with us. Looks like the market is definitely cooling off! I'd certainly say by late this year or early next year you're going to be seeing a whole lot of people getting "the call" from their AD again if not being able to get these on a walk--in!!
Thanks mate so glad you like the content!
It will be an interesting year ahead indeed! 👌
Hey, great videos. What's your view on Air Kings?
Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it!
Really great entry level model 👌
Great info to share although this is such a bizarre situation. Much like the sneaker market people are buying these products just to flip rather than enjoy. It’s nice to know the item you buy retains some value but this has gotten insane.
Thank you mate, yes very similar markets! 👍
Tks Mate, do you agree that in the world of luxury Watches, what is today a must Pass it also could easily be Definitely a grab maybe just a year later?
Oh absolutely, and vice versa! Market sentiment can change so quickly 👍
Paid a deposit to my ad for a special dial datejust 41 , it was the green fluted motif on a jubilee band , they requested a deposit as it is such a rare dial they can put in a special order , got a call on Thursday that Rolex hq has got back to them and informed that the fluted motif dials are being discontinued and they aren’t taking any orders so i had to change my order to the green mint dial , just a heads up good time to buy the green or blue motif dials
Ah very interesting indeed! Thank you for the info! 🙌
What AD was this ?

I was Into my AD yesterday and have been told exactly the same, also the yacht Master ii and date just palm Dail is going to discontinue!!
Thanks for sharing. More day to day videos please ❤
Thank you mate, glad you liked that format - more coming soon! 👌🏻
Hi, how much should I pay for this ? Is it a pass ??
Pre-owned Rolex Datejust Wimbledon dial jubilee bracelet and white gold fluted bezel. Comes in full set with box and papers
It all depends on the year and condition!

Hi Charlie - Should I get the AK ref 126900
Very nice model! Won’t lose or make money looking to resell 👍
Great transparent video, hiding nothing! All prices explained! No one else making honest Rolex videos like this…….respect!
Thanks Daniel I really appreciate that! 🙏 glad you like the content
100% agree, hiding nothing! May I ask a question Danielwarner16...do you even play hide the soap with your watch friends?
I own the previous Ghost. Love the watch! But I also want to get this years model on the Oysteflex with the black dial and the silver sub dials; the inverse of the Ghost. That watch just looks amazing and the black dial just pulls the watch together nicely.
You are right there, such an incredible combination isn’t it, the black dial goes so well with the black strap 👌🏻
Very informative video. I was wondering if I should get the Root Beer or Guinness - you answered my question. Root Beer is worth more lol
Thank you mate I appreciate that! Yes the Rootbeer is a great model to go for 👌🏻
when you say blue on DJ 41 does that include azzuro blue roman numerals? is azzuro a bit higher than the regular blue?
Unfortunately Azzurro is a bit less than the regular blue 👍
Great video! Is the SS Sub Date still a buy at the AD ?
Absolutely 🙌
continuing to appreciate your honest take of the market. very useful. I don't tend to take used cost into account when I buy, but still interesting nonetheless
Thank you mate I really appreciate that, so glad you enjoy the content 🙏
should I get an OP 36mm if I get offered one from AD? I'm not looking to resell but don't want to lose out on what I'm paying for it. It's an entry level so, I'd love your thoughts on it
It would all depend on the dial, green, blue and of course the Celebration would be the best ones to go for 👍
How do you tell anyone to pass on a watch that they really like as if everyone is looking to resell. I think the percentage of people who actually buy Rolex watches to enjoy is much higher than those looking to buy for resell.
hey, you did not mention the daytona Platinum 116506 or 126506 :) whats your take on that?
Great models to get if you can - will be over list 🙌
im looking at a no thrills daily between a rolex explorer 40mm and the iwc mark xx what are your thoughts
Both stunning models, depends on your taste, the Explorer will hold its value much better however! 👍
Ever foresee the SS Subs going for under retail?
Other than green bezel of course
Being the Flagship model of Rolex it would seem unlikely, however we will have to see what happens! 🙌
Under retail in what situation?
Love your content! 💪🏽
Thanks mate I appreciate that! 🙏
What is your preference of a yacht master vs a submariner. I’m looking for personal use (never resell) but would prefer a watch that will hold its value.
Both stunning models, the Submariner is a lot more popular being the flagship model.
But if it’s going to be to wear and enjoy it will come down to your personal taste!
Awesome Charlie, brutally honest and full of integrity as always.
honest and integrity? he deleted my comment asking why he is asking 19k over retail for watches he says is a 1 million% pass because they are trading for below retail
Thank you mate I appreciate that! Glad you liked this one 🙌
Hi Charlie I got offered full rose gold daytona with black dial and 10p diamond. Should I buy it?
The full precious metal models are struggling in the current market, if its for a quick flip then best to pass.
As a long term hold it should hold its value well 🙌
What about the 116508 full yellow gold Daytona ( full gold pikachu ) do you think it’s a good time to buy ? And is it a nice investment piece on the long run ?
It should hold its value, however the full precious metal models struggle a bit in the current market.
Should be a good long term hold though 👌🏻
I received a WhatsApp from an AD in Knightsbridge last week offering me a watch. The watch offered might now be an under RRP watch 😱 I have already purchased, enjoying wearing, & that’s often overlooked 🙏
As long as you are going to wear and enjoy it that is the main thing - congratulations mate! 🙌
@@thehonestwatchdealer The AD is based in a real classy joint very close to Graffs 😍😀🙏😎
I've just bought a silver dial 36mm DJ, won't that always be a classic? Thanks
Congratulations mate, such a classic combination - enjoy it! 🙌
How about the 2024 oysterflex Daytona, black face, silver sub dials? Thoughts?
Really stunning model, such a great combination to go for! 🙌
