When I saw your first videos, I think a year ago, I though “this guy is building a great watch conversation channel”, not as much about reviews and hot topics but the journey of watch owning and collecting. Nice to see you making videos again.

Well put. Aspirational items in ones life shouldn’t be an impulse buy. And watches are so small and transportable that it’s quite easy to do so. A car or home is by its very nature, a more demanding purchase. I really appreciate that perspective.

Cool video and great advice!! Cheers

Will you ever do an update on your waiting lists?

you need to make more videos , sir. i love hearing about your stories.

Totally agree on the journey and the stairs to climb in passion. Also, on the fact of not kneeling for what remains a watch (useless nowadays in absolute terms and not vital). I was able to get a Hulk like you, and recently a blue Overseas. I'm waiting for my blue Royal Oak, which may never come. I also live in Switzerland, and it's not easier than elsewhere (we are a rich country, with a lot of local buyers).

Nice and genuine take. The fun is in the journey and not the destination in watch collection. Unfortunately not all think the same hence the existence of flippers and grey dealers.

I couldn’t agree more, unfortunately I am on the waiting list for for many watches, not many called me, they all expect me to buy some stuff I don’t want before considering as as a watch buyer. Congrats for your acquisition.

Completely agree with u, I have had similar experiences with by AD

Like your videos. That's absolutely true stuff with lists .... sadly ...but true

Good advice

Brilliant channel!

Congratulations on those awesome pieces! I agree with your philosophy about the journey. For me, it’s not just the appreciation for the watch but also the hunt. If they were easy to acquire, it wouldn’t be as much fun.

in witch store did you buy the pp? love your content, i got the the white face ceramic daytona and batman in a similar way as you. but i think leaving in CH is clearly an advantage

I am travelling to Zurich next month from the US. I have been looking for Submariner here but absolutely no inventory. What are the chances to find one in Zurich at an AD?

Ordered my first submariner *kermit* in q1 2020. 12 months later I got a call to pick up the watch

Great video

Are they less expensive in Switzerland?? I mean low taxes..

Eventually Rolex buyers get tired of these games, wait lists, begging, groveling, making friendships with dealers, etc. and they move on to buy from another manufacturer or from the grey market. Adults like to be treated and respected like adults, When dealers play games and treat you like children, there is no reason to play along.

Das man nach 6 Monate nichts mehr hört ist nicht wahr. Hier 2 Beispiele: Im September 2019 habe ich mich für die Hulk auf die Liste gesetzt, dann im August 2020 bekam ich eine Mail, dass die Hulk durch ein neues Modell abgelöst wird und ob ich das neue Modell dafür wünsche. Da habe ich zugesagt und im Dezember 2020 bekam ich einen Anruf, dass die Uhr da sei. Im Oktober 2020 als ich eine Demo OP 41 im Shop anprobierte, liess ich mich für eine BLNR auf die Wunschliste eintragen, die kam dann im Januar 2022. Ich zahlte den neuen Preis (10K) was mir völlig egal war. Bei beiden Modellen betrug die Wartezeit mehr als 1 Jahr und ich bin auch kein VIP Kunde oder so was.

the waitlist is the biggest scam of watch industry ever ;)
