I work in the luxury industry, admittedly not in watches, but I choose Omega over Rolex because I always buy used, I have no interest in retail, and whilst I appreciate the value in buying Rolex from an AD (if they let you) buying an Omega at 50p in the £ is far better value to me.

If you sell a Rolex, and the buyer bring the watch and warranty card back to the SAME AD, or another branch of the head company, then they will know you sold it when they check the serial number on their database. Whether they blacklist you or not is up to them. But you have every right to sell your property.

Charlie. I think most people that read about watches on KZfaq find you a decent and genuinely nice guy. You run a business, and it's Rolex based. You fill a gap in the market due to the over demand at ADs. Fair enough. However your comments on the quality gap between Rolex and Omega, as I am sure you now realise. Are just not right. Is Rolex more in demand - yes. Is it harder to get, with a few exceptions - yes. But side by side is it a better built watch, a better set of movements v Omega. No. We all like you. But just because there isn't money in Omega for you. You shouldn't make such unsupportable statements on the build of the watches. Thank you though for your other insights. You are a good guy. Cheers.

To be honest a rolex is a nice watch but id say the name makes up 80% of its hype because there are other brands that make more artistic, complicated and more rare watches. Patek for one! (certain models) rolex has the simple elegance though and they have proprietary metals.

Love your videos , nice pace , packed with info , no waffle :-) . Agree with you on Rolex retaining more value than Omega but not that Omega are lower quality or inferior design . The Rolex market is supported by a lot of buyers who aren't really that interested in horology. If you're a fan of historic important classic iconic watches what are your options for , say, a steel chrono and a steel dive watch: Speedmaster £6500 from any Omega shop, Steel Daytona £25K from the grey market Seamaster £5500 at H Samuel probably, Date Sub £15K from the Honest Watch Dealer I'm sure you could give us a nice 30 minute video reviewing pros and cons of those four watches but we can agree there's not a bad one there and they will all last for decades . However the Rolex duo is costing you 40K while the Omegas are 12K . Sadly it is also possible to lose money on Rolex as anyone who's bought a Rootbeer in the last year has discovered.

I can understand where that gentleman is coming from with his comment "Rolex watches are boring". He probably meant that Rolex is offering pretty much the same models all the time and hardly ever make any changes in the designs. However I think they don't have to. You don't buy a Rolex for its innovations. You do because they are well made, keep their value and are instantly recognizable. I tend to dress formaly and I have a skinny wrist (6 inches and a quarter) so a 36mm Datejust with a fluted bezel is my #1 choice. I'd love a GMT Master II but it's not really dressy and too big for my wrist. The Day-Date 36mm would be great as well but too rich for my blood. Thank you for the videos

Winner of NASA Snoopy Silver Award. Speedmaster Professional Co-axial Master Chronometer Chronograph movement is above Daytona🤔.

quick comments about the Omega boys 4:50. First of all, as a watch enthusiast I can understand why you prefer certain brands instead of the other. What people failed to see, Rolex is a different kind of luxury watches compared to the others as it will be considered as an asset. For a few reason, such as price retention, you might even gained money from having one. Now, before anybody jumped to conclusion, well the "Rolex enthusiast" is not a watch lover then, as they buy only to sell. In some ways, yes. Although, the grey market is thriving due to the brand, but you can't help but notice there are a few omega's and RM's and etc as well in the market. So basically, nobody is stopping you from buying other brands, but just so you know, Rolex can be bought as an investment as well. Hence, like in the video said, the watch is a liquid asset, in many ways you can park your money. Now if you ask me why is Rolex is the very few brands that gets treated as an asset compared to Swatch watches, we might have to do another discussion for that.

And of course, everyone is now a trader, like property. Wouldn't it be great just to buy something good, use it for what it is designed for and not give two hoots about whether you are getting a good deal, what you can sell it for, whether you should flip it, what people think of you.

4:48 saying that the market is sound is a bit vague. The market is good for certain Rolex models atm but not all. I have an oysterflex YM-42 in white gold. Gray dealers are refusing to buy it. Only one dealer offered 65% of MSRP when I asked to exchange it for an Aquanaut and pay the difference.

Sure if you watch some of my other videos you will see I have covered this model separately. Hope this helps.

Enjoying the videos Charlie, sound advice and much appreciated. Had my eye on a Starbucks for a while, seems like it’s a good time to buy. Have also bought a Rolex and couple tudors so worth trying to wait for it from AD and risk it being discontinued? Or just go grey considering good buying prices now?
@thehonestwatchdealer Жыл бұрын
Thanks Sam, grey market prices for the Starbucks are low and a very popular and solid watch in the current market. We sell them almost straight away.

hi, do u think I should get the new steel gold daytona or the discontinued 116503?
@thehonestwatchdealer Жыл бұрын
Hi, the discontinued 116503 is a very popular watch. Will be interesting to see the prices on the new model when it hits the market.

Don't think anything wrong with omega out is Ad at lest you can get one if you go gray market for a Rolex and try sell it 6 months down the line you go and lose 2/3k that on one under 20k be even bigger loss on gold one

I’m sorry but quality of Omega is easily equal to Rolex. I own both.

You don’t have to dignify the people that use the term flippers, they are just jealous, sedate unhappy people working a 9 to 5 jobs that they hate. This also happens in other markets, houses, cars, etc. people trying to give the term flippers a negative connotation. Love your channel!

Hans, the dirtbags in these types of transactions are not the flippers but the AD's that knowingly sell to the flippers. And you sound a ittle bit unhappy yourself.
