Oh that’s good, I’m glad you love the watch. It was a lot of fun doing the trade with you

I did this recently. Got a couple keepers and, yes, a fake Rolex too. My wife was laughing at me all night while I was unboxing (similar to unboxing in this vid), but she don't know what I know. No one does (except for everyone else who has gotten a mystery box of watches). Watching every second of this video! ❤❤❤it!

You are absolutely right. I didn't catch what he said he spint on that box of crap but the fact that he says he can can close to 100 bucks for a woman's citizen ecodrive with a destroyed crystal tells me everything we need to know about this dudes knowledge. Citizen ecodrives are decent watches but here's the problem with what he says about that watch when he finds it. Firstly women's watches are extremely difficult to sell compared to men's watches these days, simply because women just aren't wearing wristwatches anymore unless it's an apple watch. They certainly don't wear the all petite watches anymore. The ladies who still wear traditional non-smart watches are wearing larger case size watches nearly as large as what men wear today. Then he said he was gonna replace the shattered crystal with a plastic one, and if you have any real knowledge of wristwatches these days he would know that replacing the capacitor in a eco_drive will cost him at least 35-40 dollars. If that watch did not have a shattered crystal and just needed the battery/ capacitor replaced he would be very lucky to get $12 for that watch. And if he wants to sell it he's going to have to replace that capacitor he's going to take about a $30 loss on that one single. Watch. 90% of the other watches he pulled out and pointed out that it is a quote decent watch was just originally a $5 Chinese made watch brand new that are more trouble to try and fix or even replace a simple battery then they're worth. Most people will buy those shity watches and wear them until they die and throw them away. which is what it looks like exactly what he bought, a giant box of someone's trash. The fact that he would pull out 2 fake rolexes and not disclose that either means he's foolish ebough to actually believe that someone would just toss 2 authentic rolexes in that box of trash or he thinks his audience is stupid enough to believe that they are real. I could go on and on about the amount of straight up garbage that box was full of but he's maybe got $60 dollars of total value in that entire box of watches. He would be extremely lucky to get revenge that much for them. It will take him the remainder of his life to try and sell those watches individually. Best thing he can do is pull maybe 3 or four of the Bulova caravelle's get what he can and give the rest to goodwill

I have a great time selling them, and have sold over 2000 in the last 5 years.

The Chinese "Garmin"-like watch with a camera is actually a phone watch, I bet it has a SIM tray as well. I used to have one of those, served me well about 5 years ago, even.

The battery time was horrible, though. Call quality was weirdly good, the camera was almost a joke.
