Back in 2013 My wife was dealing with a local dealer to buy me a Rolex Submariner Oystersteel and yellow gold with a blue face and dial. 2 days before she was going to buy it I was in a fairly serious work accident that has left me with a permanent disability. I went from making $75,000 - $80,000 per year to $11,000 per year. I told her not to buy it as my kids and wife comes first. It was always her dream to buy me a Rolex. She recently passed away from cancer at 54 years old. She was still dreaming of buying me one even as she took her last breath. Now owning a Rolex just isn't important anymore. Hang on to what is important. Material things just are not important anymore.

This page has single handily taken over my KZread feed and is filled with so much knowledge for the novice consumer just getting into watches. This content is brilliant. Thank you guys for contributing to our knowledge on this often obscure domain for the “average Joe”

Best under $10k video on KZread. Some unique selections and non-obvious choices in here, and a diverse set of brand and style. Would love to see another one!

I really appreciate this "educational" or "informational" videos, there's a lot of brands that deserves more appreciation in the watch world.

Finally something for us Middle Class folk 🤣

Thanks for taking the time to do this content. Most appreciated! I really like the Omega 'Blue side of the Moon'

Wish more people would follow the way you share content, no BS business is always appreciated happy holidays to you and the crew.

Excellent suggestions and I enjoyed the focus on value watches. Like to see you do another on under $5,000 and also $10-15,000.

This is definitely one of my favorite episodes. So much cool history and value in watches that are attainable for many people

@@benjovic7498 totally. And it is a conversation that is more interesting to me because I might end up actually buying one of these watches whereas I'm never going to own something like a rainbow Daytona. Although I also enjoy the discussions of the crazy expensive watches but more as entertainment than practicality from my perspective.

I like the style of this one way more than the flashy 'grey market' videos you were doing in 2021. Solid info and as others have mentioned, with about $700 and some waiting you can have Rolex service, refinish, and box up your purchase. I had the Santos 100 on bracelet which was a heavy beast - the one you have on a strap with deployant is a great way to go.

i haven't even watched this vdieo but I completely agree. I think appealing to all does best. A good mix of the flash and the more sitdown chill is perfect

Great video! I love Rolex but it's always nice to see other brands as well. It's also nice to see watches that people buy for the love of collecting and wearing instead of as an investment.

watches are not investments, it's a poor mans investment game for 99% of people. invest in real estate if you have real money, you won't stress as much :)

Fantastic content , I’d definitely go for the ceramic sub no box or papers. Without a doubt

Grand Seiko is the favorite watch brand I own. The fact that some under play them a bit is why I love them. True watch fans know! But GS’s presence in the world has definitely been raising as of late! I was in a dark club in Scottsdale and had a dude come up to me to compliment my GS. Pretty cool moment imo

Loving the content guys, especially when you guys get to sit down and talk shop. You can really see the passion and enthusiasm you have In an ideal world I’d love to have 10k to spend on a watch but unfortunately it’s just not in my wheelhouse to afford that Could you guys do a video on best watches for under 2k, 1k, $500 at all? I know you deal with big money watches but for us who are looking to get into watches but will never be able to reach those big money watches makes it almost seem nothings worth buying unless it’s 10k or more I know you guys mainly deal in trades but could you recommend watches to buy new or watches to look out for if they can find access to dealers at those prices? I know watch experts like yourself say don’t just go buy what you can afford now, save up and get the better watch but I’m mainly looking into starter watches Hope that makes sense Keep up the great work guys 🤘

Love the teachings learned so much lots of great watches under 10k

Love the amount of content you guys are putting out lately !!! The only recommendation I could make is getting a higher camera angle on the watch stand so it’s parallel to the dial. You guys are ballers - keep it up !!!

Awesome video, brilliant info. Thank you 🙏

Great video! I only missed a few more options from Cartier. Cartier has so much to offer under 10k next to the Santos

i appreciate you guys coming on everyone else is delayed and or next week . We fans got you all on a schedule so it sucks 😕 when folk don't come on

I have the Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968. It is an exquisite diver’s watch with 3 beautifully finished crowns, a doomed plexiglass crystal, internal rotating bezel, quick set date and the cherry on the cake is it’s mechanical alarm which sounds like the old school bells. And it was limited to 768 pieces. Awesome ! To me the alarm is so much more useful in the real life than a chronograph, a rattrapante, moonphases, etc… and I used it for years to wake up in the morning.

Very good i like that they think about the smaller people and the price point

Excellent video; thank you very much!

Great content as always. It would be good if you could have more focused and close up videos on the watches for a longer duration so we can have a closer view of the watches. :)

thank you great video i loved that you help peope like me wh are just beginning

This was so educational and great!

Nothing can beat Cartier Santos Large newer model under 10k in my opinion,absolutely amazing watch.

Nice video, good talk. list updated hahaha

Great video. Could not agree more. I have all the hot Rolexes but algo have IWC, JLC, Panerai, Omega, Chopard, Universal Geneve, among others. I buy what I like and wear all my watches.

Hey guys, thank you so much for your time and knowledge. Would be nice if you can talk about Longines one day, or at least just give your opinion about it. Have a great day

Ulysses Nardin, another watch brand hardly anybody ever talks about crazy value history and prestige and top tier imo

Great episode

The new studio looks great absolutely fantastic it needs more in the background stuff on the walls maybe a bookshelf because the room is very echoey and it sounds like you're in this ginormous basketball court I would offer to help get your audio in better shape overall for all of your videos but that said you guys do your own thing and I don't think you want help love the videos keep it up I know you will can't wait for the next episode of Grand Market which actually usually has pretty good sound

Looking forward to purchasing my santos soon 🙌🏿

Bought my Polar Explorer 16570 couple of years ago for $5500 and still love as much today - perfect daily wearer

wish I had seen this video 6 months ago. wonderful informative video for the beginner and people like myself who needs to slow down. Best advice you guys gave me which struck me hard, was just slow down, do some research and add slow and selectively.

just a recommendation, if the watches are placed on the watch stand. try to have a shot of the watch showing the watch/dial closer up. It makes it easier for others to visually know what it is.

Concur with the above comment. Love the content but as a novice I still like seeing the watch.

Sweet topic. Ty

Cool& I loved the New York accent.

Beautiful Some of my favorites in my collection are only a few thousand dollars

"The Air Peasant" hahaha Kidding..that Explorer 2 caught my meager eye. JLC is my favorite luxury brand. Cool designs, in house, under the radar

What do you think about a tag heuer? Looking to get a aquaracer as my first watch.

I’m glad there’s some new watch content today since Anthony didn’t upload today.

Great content! As well, Adrian is getting JACKED!! Look at those biceps!

I am just loving the content coming out of Gray market, Luxury bizarre, lately

I was checking out a skeletonized mechanical fossil watch last night and I was really surprised on how well it look on wrist. It’s not gonna be worth 10k but for under $300 it’s a really nice watch.

You guys are on fire! Keep em comin’ 👏🏼🔥🔥

The watch for that 3 to 4k new I like has been the br05 bell and Ross. And generally a tacky watch that model has really attracted the sport watch look and second hand is really nice. And then for 500 or less the tissot prx

love this content

Great conversation but more watch and wrist shots please

Absolutely love your videos. Keep up this great passion of yours. I would love to get into luxury watch trading. Huge passion for me. Have an outstanding day guys. Love Love Love your work and effort for watch enthusiasts. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was hoping you'd feature a Reverso...I think they are extremely badass.

Would be cool also a 5k episode

Finissimo is on my list As well as a Vashran

I have 2 Panerai. I love them. And can get them anytime!

10k really is a mental barrier for some. I had two major spending rules when I started collecting. One was that the total of money spent on my collection couldn't exceed a certain number. My second was, IF I ever spent five figures on a watch, I could only do it once. I completed my collection in October with my last piece, the only one I went five figures for. I didn't break either rule.

I just picked up a breitling avenger II combat night mission damn near new for $$2550 retail in $5300. I love giant watches I’m 6’2” tall 225 lbs.

Hamilton and tudor are amazing watches for the price

I love my Santos! I bought it because his history, the first wirst watch in the world (1904). The Cartier Santos is for me the first modern watch. Patek, Vacheron, Breguet etc., are older brands, but Cartier made the first wirst watch, the first sport watch, the first aviation watch, all in one in that Santos Dumont. All modern watches are Santos "replicas"!

Love the channel. Let’s say I wanted to purchase a Rolex that was made during a specific Month & Year, what info would I be looking for? Is it a specific serial number? Model numbers? Is it possible to get even more specific, looking for a watch that was made on an exact day/month/year? Thanks!

@richardf7223

Жыл бұрын

Very open question! It really depends on the year. Rolex scrambled their serial numbers so you can’t tell the year in later models…getting a specific month is a bit too specific. Earlier models you can pinpoint the year only by serial number. You’ll have to look online for the years your looking for. However, all is not lost! Rolex’s with box and papers will have the month and year of purchase. You could look for the Rolex model you like and hunt for one with papers that was purchased in the month you want. Sorry it’s not the answer you hoped for.

My collection consists of one daily driver I no longer want to have watches that look great in a watch winder I much rather have it looking good on my wrist. I actually went from a Panerai to a Cartier Santos XL chronograph and I absolutely love it, but I see myself going back to Rolex soon.

16610 my fav

👍i agree.thx🤛

G~shocks premium ranges.. are tiered with steel, then MTG, then MRG

So is omega seamaster a good buy or should ya get Speedy

My dream watch is a Jaeger Le-Coultre the JLC Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 looking at a cool million dollar +, so guess it's a lottery win before I get that baby 😂🤣😂. Happy for now with my Corum bubble watch collection & few vintage watches. 😀

buy what you like and buy what you will wear with pride. For me- Tissot and Omega 007 and arnie. Tissot everyday, arnie for roughing it up and Omega for those special events.

JLC Reverso with small second. Eternal.

Bell & Ross, unique looking but still presentable. Can be found for sub $5k all day long. Plus cartier santos of course

There’s also tons of value and tons of great watches under 5k, Tudors, Tags, Breitlings, Longines, Cartier, GS, Panerai, list is endless

5:38 You know he smokes HAHA

Hi guys, Hublot is not good like a investment watch? For example Hublot Classic fusion 33mm? Thx for the asnwer.

Part 2 needs to include the Navitimer. One of the most iconic pilot watch next to IWC.

Cool video, this is entirely my budget range, like 7/10 people like you say :) Yes a collection needs a speedy, no 20 Rolex watches is not a collection, it's just a very lack of creativity.

Do they post to the U.K.?? Thanks

Rolex is great but there’s so much more that can please the eye!

Don't forget the Oyster Perpetual 39mm discontinued and still way under 10k

No talk of Breitling? I think there a great watch all around and affordable

would be nice to make a video like this with watches under 1000$, ya know..more my budget lmao

I bought my vintage two tone Datejust almost two years ago. It cost me 5K and will probably be my one and done watch. That is unless i come across a solid gold President at a great price. I'd never feel comfortable spending 10K or more for stainless steel.

Thoughts on bell and Ross?

Used Ulysse Nardin

There’s no way that Bulova watch is low than a grand Seiko lol

6:38 Given it is the second most selling brand, would everyone agree that people who buy Cartier watches appreciate* their Cartier watches more than people who buy Rolex? If we take a look at the volume/inventory of Rolex in the grey market vs Cartier watches. People keep their Cartier. Is it because most people who buy Cartier views their watch being an jewelry/accessory piece? Thoughts?

Tudor and Breitling?

Cartier makes beautiful pieces, but I've never had a Cartier that could keep time correctly.
