I wonder too. Rolex watches used to keep their value thanks to Rolex always raising prices every few years or sometimes yearly. So used watches were pulled a bit up, but still below or at retail mostly. Except the Daytona. But 10 years ago, Rolex were mostly available right away in stock at the AD....why wouldn’t they return to that? Maybe that’s a possibility too....if demand dies down, this could happen. Rolex will still be ok. Grey market too, just insane profits for private flippers will be gone.

They are clueless. Businesses just dont go back to normal. We could have 20% unemployment. Depression numbers. The Chinese, the flippers, the new rich, youtubers, and the recent milenial watch collector propped the watch business up since about 2016. Its gonna disappear real soon. In 2016 I could buy any SS Rolex I wanted (except daytona) at a discount. And used models like a Explorer II 5 digit cost me $4,000. About half retail. The pain is coming.

Not to be judgemental and rude. But people that are unemployed right now are either teachers, or public workers. Yes they are consumers and yes they can buy big ticket items like expensive items, but it is not likely. For example, how many of these time pieces do you own? Are you laid off work right now? Whats your income? Can you even afford one of these pieces? I am not wealthy by any means but this info is for people who can actually afford these watches.

You guys are totally focused on watches and you are not paying attention to the global economy and the impact of this pandemic. Many businesses will fail, many assets have lost significant value because of the uncertainty, unemployment, devastating effects in tourism etc. To say this is just a "virus" and not a recession is an ignorant statement.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you entirely selling something for more than you buy it for? Be it 5%, 10% or the retail standard of c30% How are you different from the flippers? It's all business surely?

In the words of Karen Carpenter..... "It's only just begun"

The best watch youtuber you are Sir. I wish I had your optimism. 2008 was a banking crisis, today it is a people crisis, a social crisis. It will take more than just few weeks to bring the economy to pre Corona situation. Great show, a live show selling watch? Why not. It is worth the try. Thanks Roman and Adrian for sharing.

Great videos as always. Love those AP chronographs! are the prices on the AP chronograph with silver dial u showed 21k with tax or without? because on chrono24 the prices start from 23-24k and up. Hopefully u can answer my question. 👍

I believe that this is going to be worth than 2008. We just have been only a few months through this and you can see how much the markets are affected . I can guaranty that the watch market is going to crash badly. But not only the watch market also all the markets.Watch and see! The Buyers time just begun! Anyway I love your videos!

I'm ready to buy and will be keeping an eye on on the market. All my tenants are are pensioners, health workers and others are government employees. The rents are still coming so the money is there.

I just watched a clip by 'the economist' and they were saying that for the first time ever we have no supply and no demand...on top of terrible working capital shortages. Timing wise I think you are being a bit optimistic, but it will rebound at some point. I do like the live show idea, but won't be buying at the moment.

Thanks for the inside scoop, Roman. Hey what do you mean by “buy ourselves out” around 33:02? Does that mean buying stock that sells right away?

Been following Roman for long time and as always appreciate market update and his transparency! Look forward to his new studio.

You point out that the Rolex hype started among dealers (grey market), others picked up and they started trading among each other. Also new people coming in the industry (grey market) to get a piece from the pie. Haven't we arrived at a situation where demand among dealers is high but not so much among consumers due to the prices? Meaning that Dealers are still happily shuffling the pieces among each other adding margins left and right but these pieces do not actually end up at the consumer. If this is the case then aren't we literally in a bubble? Love the video!

Can’t think of a better plan than watching this video. Keep doing this Roman!

YES. I like the KZread idea. I know you would include some history and trivia too. Win Win. Stay healthy.

Only the truly rare and exceptional will survive this global event in terms of cars, art and watches. The rest are going to take a major dump and people are going to have their fingers burnt badly. All those who jumped into the game in the last few years out of pure greed will panic and dump everything they have onto the market in the next few months. This will be the biggest market reset in recent history made worse by economies printing monopoly money by the day out of desperation.

I appreciate these videos, I am going to be hopefully starting my website for my entry into the watch game next year. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life, I’m 27 and I just learned this year what I really want to do for the rest of my life, and it’s Luxury goods, but specially watches. I love timepieces and find them true works of art. I hope to meet you soon Roman! Realistically maybe within 2 years I’ll be a able to meet you threw a show or on the street. Again thank you for these videos brotha!

I would't pay over retail to begin with, hopefully it will be easier to get pieces that actual watch people want to buy, not fly by night flippers. For people like Roman, always business wether the prices are over or under list, all the same as long as you can get through the adjustment.

Love the idea of the "LuxB KZread marketplace."

A KZread live of you giving Adrian a fade would be hilarious! Roman the Barber!

I want to thank Roman for all the work you guys do. I think around 2010 dad told me hey check out LuxuryBazar and a few years later he bought a Florida Panerai (still never worn it lol ) I think you guys were first who opened the doors for digital watches retailing back before anyone else did and thank you for doing a great job.

Hey roman and adrian thanks for the video! I’m a pilot and from an aviation perspective it will take a little time before our works starts running again cause even if a country like china or the states starts to lift the travel bans, the routes will still be closed for different countries depending on their respective situations. This might dismay some of your potential buyers from getting something from across the world when theres no assurance when they’ll get the product to their country. Another point I’d like to say we dont know what the relationships between countries will be after all of this e.i. Today japan just announced its willing to pay the Japanese companies operating in China to move their businesses away from China ($2billion by the government). What happens if the U.S does the same. Its a different world we are all entering in the next few months everyone stay safe.

Roman. Really enjoyed your take on the current state of the market. You’re absolutely right to be buying when ‘others are fearful’. However, you will be proved wrong if you believe things will recover quickly. I’m in Europe (UK) and we are all in lock down. No one goes out and our economies are going to really struggle. Wait until you’re forced to close your business and you’ll realise it will 12 months before things return to the new normal. But keep the videos coming as we need something to pass the time!

I Like The Idea of You selling on KZread. Thank you for your Show I learned so much. Thanks!

This is a time like no other. What if Asia dumps their toys on the market? That's a lot of toys and I would think a high percentage would be Rolex. The Swiss made a remarkable recovery from the quartz crises. The pandemic will likely affect luxury goods like no other.

Wow great video as usual Roman . Love the positivity about the evolution of this crisis on your industry and being positive is the DNA of a successful business owner 👍 However I’m not sharing that optimism people buying watches are just following the buying project they had before the crisis mentality are beginning to change and doesn’t matter how rich or passionate about watches we are we’ll surely be impacted by increase in Taxes (specially in EU ) and shares values and dividends for investors. Here in Europe restructure plans are coming in all sorts of industries this crisis is real and terrible imo . I wish you the best and hope I’ll still be able to pick up some watch at good price soon

Nice vid Roman!

A buyers market? Give me a break bro. A buyers market is when the use watches start selling under retail value as long the watches still 3k or more over retail value it’s still a sellers market, a simply economic. I’ll advise people to wait and see how all this develops, most of the people that bought at a hype have lost their jobs and had nice jobs , but lived paycheck to paycheck, now they have to pay rent and have no jobs they will dump the watches on the market, the AD that hide the watches to make more money on the gray market have to pay rent and employees and have no gray market buyers , so I bet than in a few months you’ll be able to walk into an AD and see SS Rolex inside, used and Brand new .

Great Video!!! Yes I would be interested in a KZread live marketplace show. Yes please!

Yes, would definitely be interested in a live sales show.

So many good deals! Just picked up a Navitimer Olumpus Quantième calendar and moon phase for 3600usd with full service like new..!

Would like to see a sales chart by month 1/2020 through 7/2020 vs past 3 years rolling monthly.

Good info here on what's happening behind the scenes. Love it Roman. This is a big shakeup, the smart ones will remain and probabbly make good money.

The Musical chairs of Greed has been fueled by False rumour and now the Music has stopped and wont restart for the foreseeable future...

Definitely a buyers market. I bought a new piece two weeks ago and am eyeing up another one. We shouldn't use the term 'market correction', it implies that it was was wrong. We should use 'market cycle' instead. As we all know, all markets go up and down as affected by real world situations. Thanks guys, great video as always.

If there's panic, panic first. Other than that, buy when blood runs through the streets.

Week : 51 commit to positive thinking . I will admit to my mind for mental consumption only thous idea and thought that heal , bless , inspire and strengthen me .

Great video!

Yes a QVC episode live would be great, 10k, 5k , 2500k would be AWSOME! Maybe a first responder discount ,

I like the idea of selling live through the channel. It would be great interaction also.

Superb as always, thanks

Interesting to rewatch this after a year. Much has changed and yet some things the same.

Yes, looking forward to the KZread online sales chanel.

I think you guys should take a look around. This is much worse than 08 much much worse. The full effect have not hit us yes. So yes the housing marked and everything will take a major hit and so will you guys. I hope for the best for you all. But stop telling less informed people to keep buying this stuff just to get rid of your inventory. If you had any business sense you would sell sell sell and sit on a pile of money ready when the marked turned. And i think thats what you are doing. And now you are trying to sell the leftovers to your followers. good luck
