Cheers!

Thanks a lot for this brilliant interview Hodinkee, this is pure gold! Congrats on your 10 years anniversary ! Cheers

Thank you! I learned so much from you both, watch afficianados! I also appreciate Mr. Bacs honesty, and passion. Amazing interview. Very thought provoking on aesthetics, precision, market psychology, subjective taste, character over quality, and so much more. A compressed course on watches for more than just billionaires and collectors. Thank you.

Aurel Bacs has lots of stories to tell & that makes collecting watches even more interesting. Thanks Hodinkee

Aurel is a wealth of knowledge.

This is such an amazing conversation. It had all the corners visited that had questions filled in them.

Great Interview!!!! Thank You

Ben I am revisiting in Dec 2019! Content is King! Team-HODINKEE

Aurel Bacs is the true aficionado.

Very interesting. I love the passion.

Two of my idols from the watch world, could not have asked for a better interview!

this video kept getting cut off, but i still enjoyed it.

I think if it’s restored to the original condition it should be accepted as such. He’s absolutely right about a watch that old without waterproofing, how do you expect it to be perfect.

Nice video.

Great interview, thanks.

Very interesting.

Enjoyed. Thanks.

Supply and demand always hand in hand

Got sad when it ended.

Good job Ben, get a stylist please!!!

So much to glean from this video. A ton of valuable information was shared. However, I didn’t appreciate Bacs relegating Mexicans as the poster child for drug cartels - he could’ve just said “drug lord” or “drug cartel,” but he made a point to reference Mexicans multiple times. Also, that whole “me too” jab he threw in was pretty classless, especially when there were women present.

Total BS starts at about 46:00

I buy my watches new and from an AD. I like to be the first owner of a watch and not support the grey market cheating that going on. That’s just me.

Aurel Bacs - Rich and arrogant Swiss. When he was a teen his parents even "lend" him money for a Patek! He would sell his grandmother at a Phillips auction if she had an inhouse movement installed.....

Why such a hateful comment - especially toward someone you don't even know on a personal level. What is it to you if he is rich. There is nothing in the man that makes him arrogant from what others know of him. Pull the weeds from your own garden and tend it, before judging the accomplishments of others.

Bad comment. What have these aspects to do with Swiss? Plus why do you interpret confidence, success and knowledge with arrogance?

Most of the valuable watches don't have in-house movement, so why is that even part of your comment? If you know nothing about vintage maybe don't come show off your ignorance
