Yes, the hobby is dying, at least from my point of view. The scarcity is a killer, the available pieces are too expensive, investors/ speculators are adding their layer…. I am losing interest in buying watches. A great topic, thanks for sharing.

I bought a rolex hulk on the grey market back in late 2017 probably £100 cheaper than rrp at the time. This was my first Rolex, a mate got me into the hobby I was comfortable knowing it’d just go up with inflation. I used to wear it everywhere and loved it nobody even noticed it or knew what it was. I fell in love with the hulk with its Rolex green shine at a time when i was new to hobby and youtube were debating wether it was ugly or not (can you imagine that now) The irony is i have a great investment yet i didn’t buy it for that and i cant wear or enjoy it for fear of theft.

My grail watch is my Omega Ploprof in steel, at age 62, better late than never !, my sentimental piece, is my Oris TT1 diver , it survived a career in 🚒, 🔥 firefighting .Long live Mid tier brands !. Well said in this video !!

I hope you’re right man. This hobby needs a correction. Get rid of the speculators.

James, right on point mate. Just about to pull the trigger on a blue Aqua Terra, tried getting an OP, but you can guess how that went. The Aqua Terra will join my Speedy, that will be my two watch collection for now. Keep up the good work. Cheers from NYC.

Couldn’t agree more James. I love all my watches from my Omegas to my Casios, but consider them worthless, I took a long time choosing each one and would never sell them, hence why they are worthless, or priceless.

Absolutely spot on!!! I've been collecting for 22 years. I remember when there was zero prejudice expressed by most enthusiasts when we discussed and compared Rolex to a Doxa, an Omega to zenith and jlc to vulcain for example. I sense we are at saturation point. So many "newbies" only aware of or having experience of very few brands and that's without delving into tje beauties that exist on the vintage side. I hope this all changes and that new enthusiasts maintain an open mind going forward. Love the content

Appreciate your honesty regarding the Rolex hype. You and Federico are the only people that has called out the BS with Rolex. Great content. 👍

There are definite exceptions to this as well I think. I myself enjoy "hype" watches but I also have some that people would call shitters as well. I have citizen and casio as well as Rolex and now Lange. I just buy what I personally like and try not to be influenced too much by the hype. Glad you are back James. Great vid

Excellent video. I remember when you first started KZfaq, and you put out a video where you said people made "mistakes" when you start with Tags etc and "it was best to not waste your money and save up for a rolex, ( I even remember the tone of your voice during that vid) so that you 'keep' having your money from not losing on depreciation, and now fast forward all these years after, and you say that you respect the purists who actually like the hobby and buy these tier watches for the love and for what they can afford. We all can't justify Rolex money, even if we saved for years and years. Many people were being brainwashed by that "Jewelers on time Ad" on AC3's channel about not losing on depreciation, rather than actually loving the hobby across all price spectrums. I also do remember many of the superchats (like 100 pounds one time and more) you gave AC3. My point is, I'm impressed with what you've said in this particular video.

As a watch collector /purist I agree 100 percent with your thoughts. This is the reason most of my new pieces have been Tudor and Breitling. Omega is next! I'm so glad you're back!!

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY spot on!!! I’ve been in this for 30+ years - “NEW”Rolex GMTs, Submariners, Explorers were NOT “collector” pieces, they were terrific professional watches that we knew we could wear with pride for a lifetime and then pass along to our kids… Today, all I hear is “what a great investment” and “you can’t go wrong with this purchase”. I know I sound like an old fuddy duddy….

Couldn’t agree more. I recall the days walking into a gray market dealer and finding the Batman for a couple grand under retail, good old days. Purchasing because you loved it and not necessarily as a potential ‘investment’. Glad to see you producing more content James.

Your spot on . I’m sick to death of the same odious conversations on Rolex prices and growth in the market . In many ways the explosion of prices has forced owners to either sell or view Rolex as a commodity. I bought Rolex sports to wear and enjoy however I now have to keep them in a vault due to market value prices I don’t want them at home , this is a 50 mile round trip and inconvenient so they are virtually never worn . By default they have become commodities something I never wanted it has been forced upon me . The upside is i discovered omega which unquestionably are now my number one brand to wear and enjoy .

Right on point James . I collect most brands but like vintage best. And yes the new KZfaqrs are just in it as a business for subscriptions and super chats. They don’t even know anything about watches!

I find what you said here to be the truth. It's exactly what I've been ticked off about for the last 2 years. First the hype and then the investment class collectors who seem to get first shot on anything at the AD's. If we are watch enthusiast's we should be staying away from Rolex. Let the guys who know nothing about horology and collecting, the bankers, lawyers, and Wall Street scum have them. I'm no longer looking seriously at Rolex anymore because it's gone too far.

Every so often the KZfaq algorithms lead us to a good suggestion and that was the case for me this evening finding your channel. I've always owned one watch, usually an inexpensive Timex or Casio, but over the last few years have begun a low/mid level budget collection and find I really enjoy watches. I look forward to watching your content and learning more..

I am completely agreeing with you! And want to see more content about the watches you mentioned. I have a Speedy, Tudor BB but also a nice Tissot, Longine, CW in my collection. Some people on youtube call them shitters just because they don’t present the hipe. To me they are destroying the love for watches with there comments. There are beautiful watches offered by these brand, these people just don’t get it, because there are in the hobby for all the wrong reasons.

Spot on 👌

Absolutely spot on, James. What a refreshing 20min that was! It’s clear who you’re talking about and I’m in complete agreement, not least because these superchat hungry types often know very little about watches. They’re in Rolex for the money as they are KZfaq. For background, I own 2 Explorers as I agree they’re the best in the Rolex catalogue; 124270 and 214270 Mk2, and a new OP36 Green, all at retail from AD having bought just a Tudor BB58 blue and BB36 beforehand. My love is Sinn and Breguet. I’ve been harassing Sinn for a blue dial U50-t for a very long time now! I’m from Lancaster… sounds like you’re just down the road? Subscribed with no hesitation. I’ve seen you on the livestreams but didn’t realise you had a channel! Binge watch time😉👍

James I couldn't agree with you more, this is a topic that has been on my mind for sometime, to a point that I want out of all this, there is an omega I want then I'll call it a day.I don't know any other channel that has said all the comments that you have, and that speaks volumes.

I'm in this hobby because I buy what appeals to me, whether it be a Doxa 300, Lorus Ana-digi, or a Seiko. I'm certainly not in the position (or mindset) to spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on a wristwatch, and I certainly wouldn't do it for speculation purposes if I did. I buy stocks, which is bad enough. 😆

I've been watching watch review channels for years. Can't believe I missed this one! Great content. Glad I found your channel. Carry on the great work!

Glad you are back. I have been collecting over 40 years. Yes I have Rolex's, but as my collection evolved I learned the true meaning of high horology. I moved on to Breguet, ALS, V.C.,J.L.C., H Mosier and Cie and yes even F.P Journe. But that does not stop me enjoying Omega( Have all 3 Seamasters) and Seiko. Certain watches have now become like stock; hyped and traded. What collectors need to learn is simply don't play the game. Are you really trying to tell me that the Rolex OP 41 Tiffiney dial has the same value as a Breguet 7337 Classic? Are you kidding me. This is what the herd has been programed to believe. When the smoke clears it will not be pretty. LOL I have now gone a different direction. Instead of the herd mentality, I ordered a bespoke watch that is built just for me. A D. Dornbluth and Sohne. I picked the hands, dial, material, etc. I was told by other collectors that this watch would never go up in value. So what. To me this watch will be priceless.( The wait is 14 months. A lot less than a steel Rolex.) God Bless you and your family.

Please keep your channel going, you bring the watch hobby back to the basics!

I really appreciate your content, James. You are saying things that really need to be said. I don't much care for most watch content on KZfaq any more, because the hobbyist element is simply missing from most of them. The investment/trading/flipping crowd need to stop pretending to be hobbyists and leave those of us who simply enjoy our watches in peace.

Right on point. I remember way back 2013 when I walked in to the authorized Rolex AD and was offered a Sub date. Really want it but with no extra disposable income I had second thoughts. Finally got a Rolex SD 50th 5 years later at retail. Will never buy Rolex at the gray market. Would rather choose other brands at retail/discount.

Liked the piece so subscribed. I love a load of microbrands and a load of Swiss/German too. I am on the list for Pepsi GMT (at a jewellers I have bought a few Tudors from) because I love the watch - six months ago, I got a call to ask "Which bracelet do you want?" - Rolex, not the AD, had told them to 'split their list' that way. I am now thinking bollocks to it, I don't want to be a part of this crap! Firstly, I agree with you about list publication (not data - just the number, like they do with the MCC) But, here's a thing. If all the dealers on West 38th Street in Manhattan all agreed to drop their used prices of Rolex by 25%, they'd shift the lot and the market would change. Kid you not, there is at least 20,000 steel Rolexes on that street! Anyway, Rolex (who get their cases made in China BTW!!!) are moving towards precious metals and Tudor is occupying the 'tool watch excellence' space Rolex grew their brand on. Anyway James, cheers - OOI interest, what do you think of Christopher Ward?

I can’t agree with you more James. I bought my first Rolex in 2004 (a white dial Explorer 2) that had been with the AD for 2 years and they gave me a discount and a “thank God he bought it” as I walked out of the door. But the market has changed for the worse. Normal buyers trying to break into certain brands have no chance unless they have loads of disposable income. Real collectors have been priced out. But it is not just Rolex, it is AP and Patek etc. That said, there are some great brands out there that we can all enjoy, we just need to look wider

You are spot on, and I think more and more people are getting fed up with the whole silly AD games. Like you, I have had several steel Rolex models over the years and now I only have the one - the 16570 Explorer II polar dial which is in amongst a collection ranging from Christopher Ward to Tudor to Breitling. I've definitely become jaded by the Rolex/KZfaq thing. Keep up the great content. Regards John

I couldn’t agree more. I have 1 Patek and 3 Rolex timepieces. I also have about 4 Invictas. I purchase what I love and calls to me. I believe investors are taking the fun out of the hobby.

Tim Mosso said, why would you pay £20,000 for a Submariner when you for that money you could buy a Vacheron? He has a good point. I guess 'investors' who don't actually care about the watch they are buying see it that way...

I don't remember the Batman being idle at the AD's... the SS craze began before the release of the Batman... I remember the discount days as well, bought my first Rolex in 1988, and again in 1994... I think with the wealth in Asia now and world wide demand, we're not going to see these watches sitting at the AD for some time... if ever.

My AD offered me in 2016 to buy both the ceramic and pre-ceramic at retail and I turned my back as I always saw it small on my rest size then the readability and the locked chronograph buttons , do I regret it ? From a market price now and the ability to make a profit sure yes , did I grow to like it surprisingly yes too , so looks like the hype got me .

speaking about subs this was one sub that I didn't have to think twice about. Looking forward to future videos.

How well put!! I listened carefully and I agree. The hypothetical point to just put aside Rolex and all that comes with it these days-and make the hobby a happier place for us watch enthusiasts- SO true!

You are spot on in this video. Agree 💯. Though I have a few Rolex, I have others including Breitling, IWC, Hamilton, Bangalore Watch Company, etc. In fact, one of my favorites is my Ulysse Nardin dual time limited edition watch. Love your talks. Glad you are back. Cheers from Dallas!

Love this video. So very true. I have had Omega’s for many years and had a 34mm vintage manual wind Tudor since university. Also owned many a Seiko etc and have G-Shock square.

I'm very new to the hobby. I consider myself a purist, most of my watches are fairly inexpensive watches. I have some heirloom pieces that I could never part with due to sentimental reasons. Most of my watches are 300 to 500 range. Some vintage pieces that I adore but they are relatively cheap. I love them just the same as some people love their Rollies. Maybe one day I'll own a Roller, Omega, Sinn, if not I'm still happy for what I have. Most people don't have my tastes in watches.

I really got into watches about 6-7 years ago and I have definitely noticed a drastic change. I too remember Explorer IIs in windows, I remember a second hand Submariner available in a window for £7,000. I'm thankful that I've never really felt drawn to Rolex. So I stick with my TAG Heuer collection, mostly 90s/00s.

James you're spot on. However as somebody who's only been into the hobby for 3 years, I've never owned a Rolex and after trying several, I'm still very drawn to the classic 36mm size Oyster Perpetual... I have owned the 1861 Speedy and Aqua Terra (first gen Black), a seiko turtle and Hamilton Khaki field 38mm... I've sold everything, lost some money but it was worth it for the experience.... I'm looking for one versatile watch to wear daily in every scenario and to me, a collection of G shock square for all the really outdoorsy stuff and one OP for everything else will be fantastic. Really hate the Rolex game and all those flippers and investors. I will keep my OP. It will never see the inside of a safe and it really is annoying how hard I'll have to try to get one... but that's totally my choice based on loving the watch, not the hype ... end of the day its first World problems. We don't really need a watch the g shock does everything and more ... great vid matey

Every collector, enthusiast and KZfaqr needs to see this! I'm one of your guys and will be reaching out in the near future! Welcome back!

Thanks James. you always make and talk sense I got so fcuked off with ac3 not watch him for over a year is he still shouting like a mad man as always xx from London

FINALLY!! i was beginning to think that I was the only one that thought this, spot on.keep up the good content

I agree, most “Preferred” customers are flippers with contacts within grey market, so many 2021/ 22 unworn pieces for sale on these new-ish grey market dealers who are possibly the preferred customers in several AD’s

Superb video, buddy. I suggest that all of us who consider ourselves enthusiasts need to do our part, and flat out refuse to give any financial advice to these investors, because all we’re doing is giving free advice to people who don’t care about the hobby, nor care if they price all of us out of it.

When both the guys who are selling and the guys who are buying high-end watches have to look over their shoulders literally 24-7 for fear of violent criminals....maybe it's time to move on from this hobby?🙁 I'm really starting to ask myself this... I mean, why make yourself a great big target? Paul was saying recently about Rolex (allegedly) being better to buy than property; well I guess low rent thugs can't turn up at 3am and steal a house from you, can they? So there's that...

30 years ago, I walked into an AD in Zurich and walked out with a Sub. It was a shock when I tried to upgrade to the current Sub at an AD recently. Upgraded to a Superocean instead and am very satisfied.

You really hit the nail on the head with every point. Great video!

not seen your vids before but i have now subscribed, nice to hear someone talking common sense!

Bought watches that I like that I can afford. The fact they are also gaining value is great but not the motivator. I don’t see them as investments, it’s just a bonus that they aren’t depreciating (yet!)

Thanks for your objective PoV! You ‘tubed my thoughts fairly. Horological love…my first watch I thought was momentous and the gradual movement in appreciation. Thanks man!

Wish I could like this video more than once. You earned a subscriber today.

I think that you have given an accurate assessment of the watch collection hobby, or hype, to some people. Like yourself, I love Hamilton, Certina, my beautiful grail....the SMP and some Seikos, including my prized, original one owner, (me) Cpt. Willard. I even enjoy some lovely quartz pieces such as Tissot and Hamiltons. The history is also an important factor in my choices. Thank you for a wonderful, truthful and entertaining assessment of our addiction. 👍😀

Excellent Video. Totally agree with you Showcase.

Good info thanks. New to this hobby. You’ve gained a subscriber 👍🏻

A very honest view of what is going on. all the best.

Good to see you back online man

This goes on with other hobbies as well, Gibson Les Pauls recently and in the 90's it was Harley-Davidson. Hopefully it comes back to reality. It's nothing new, it's just the watch hobby's turn.

Outstanding. You are spot on.

It's freaky how each point you've made is exactly what I've been thinking for some time now. The only difference is you have been in the hobby a lot longer than I, I never experienced Rolex watches being sold in the window there and then. I think another factor is the world of Instagram, the so called flexing.

One more thing, about how I view the hobby: You CAN buy a cheap watch, and come home with a real POS. But you can buy an expensive watch, and also come home with a dog. On the other hand, you can buy an expensive watch that is worth what you paid, AND you can find some real gems down in the inexpensive segment. And my friends... ...THAT is the "sport" of this hobby. I have expensive watches and cheap watches, but ALL of my watches are nice. You have to do the homework. You have to do the reading. You have to look deep into what is being offered, and not let the price set your perception of value. DOING all of that is what makes this fun!! Just today I looked at the winder that houses my two Rolex, while watching this video. Then I went in the other room and opted for my $150 Steel Dive Subby. I love this watch! All day when I wear it, it reminds me of a day that I WON in the hobby, by finding something OUTstanding that was being offered for next to nothing. Like I say: This is FUN! Enjoy the hunt! If you are doing it to impress people, that won't be fun for you. In that case, find another hobby.

Bang on the money mate, sad that they’ve become stocks n shares to high rollers. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the blancpain fifty fathom collection. It would be great if you did a video on them. 👍

Hey James, You just mentioned every average and normal timepiece enthusiast and collectors thoughts and beliefs. We all couldn’t care less about the “Luxury Archiebalds” of the world buying their Rolex’s and Patel Philippe’s.

Don’t feel sorry for those recently finding the watch hobby. There are great watches readily available from a much wider range of manufacturers than any other time in recent history. One effect of the exposure/hype/price increase (on a relative handful of pieces) is an increase in competition. Ignore the hype pieces, dive in, and enjoy the hobby 👍

Most You Tubers, or self-acclaimed watch celebrities, talk about one thing and one thing only - INVESTMENT WATCHES... and the content becomes more and more repetitive. Hence I do appreciate content like yours, or for what matters, some proper watch reviews, e.g. from Bark & Jack or The Watch Guys. This is enjoyable content for real hobby collector. Thank you James.

I really wish more KZfaqrs were talking about this topic. I've become so jaded with watches. I own two watches now: a G-Shock and a Speedy Pro. What more do I need?

I totally agree with your points. I went into AD and they had no interest in putting me on the “list”. The AD did try to offer me a refurbished submariner for $25,000. These AD’s have no interests with the list given they are selling these into the grey market. Consumer loses either way. This brand has lost my loyalty. Bad branding in my opinion

You nailed it, and that's why I subscribe to your channel. I have a small collection, of Rolex, Omega, IWC, Hamilton, Casio...and I love this hobby to the core. I'm sick to death of the hype. I hope to see interesting talks like this one. Thanks

If only the OP41 turquoise was mass produced ... my authorized dealer hasn't ever seen one.

Hi Jim. Found this video and decided to subscribe. You talk complete sense. I can afford to go grey and get my favourite Rolex ( like you Explorer 1). But won't. I would rather buy, as I did my last watch in Nov 2021. An Omega Seamaster AT. White dial 41mm on the rubber strap with the Orange accents. It's frankly stunning. The 8900 movement has to be about the best out there IMO. I wear it daily, and its dressey and sporty all in one. In 2.5 months it's running +2 seconds.... Overall!!! I am considering. Cartier Santos mid next. I love the style. But I know the movement although in house isn't going to do what the 8900 does for me. But it's a class watch IMO with great history etc. Anyhow. I like your style. Seem in it for the right reasons, and unlike for example Paul Thorpe. Don't just see every watch with a doller value attached. Good on you mate, and be interested how you see the Santos?

I doubt many people start collecting watches by going to a Rolex dealer do they. I mean that’s like buying a Porsche as your first car.

I don’t believe in “newbies”. When I started 25 years ago I was an expert on what I was interested in. At the time it was the Bond Omega. Then it was the 120m then the DeVille tonneau. Then I was an “expert” on Breitling. So on an so forth. We mistake “entry-level” collector’s for foolish collectors with no taste who like shi#%ers. They are NOT to be spoken to OR admired. They are to be shunned as we would shun a fool. The choice is not between investor class and fools. In fact there is no “choice” to be made. Just carry on collecting quality luxury watches. Your “levels” analysis is vapid. Pointless. Never have so many words been said about so little. Best advice: Avoid fools. Carry on.

Totally agree with your train of thought, i would definitely come in the lower tier of collector's seikos, orient, etc when i was younger i aspired to one day owning a rolex now i can honesly say given unlimited funds if i was looking for a nice sports watch it would be omega all day long, ive stopped buying lower end watches now in the hope of getting a ( for me) grail watch in the 1k to 1.5k range. Watches like every other consumer product are subject to the law of diminishing returns , and i couldnt see me going above this amount.

Hi pal I 💯percent agree Because to it’s not just about Rolex Firstly I ❤️a watch for what it is Now that’s my hart talking Once I feel it I’m locked in Love your show an keep up the great works an welcome back😎

I respectfully disagree with your understanding. Yes, there is hype, driven by either the investment guys and auction houses (there is a cool video from Watch Gringa on this) but also because of “flexers” who see the Rolexes and APs and Pateks as a way to show how much money they have. But on the same time that also drives curiosity from those who were not aware of watches. Also, Rolex is just another brand. Omega Globemaster is a better watch spec by spec vs Rolex Datejust. Daytona? Go for any of the Zenith El Primero, Submariner? What about Seamaster or even a Seiko King Turtle? Watch collection success is buying what you feel closer to you.

I couldn’t agree more, I’ve not get excited about Rolex for nearly two years, how can you if you can’t get one at retail. I remember the days you say, buying my first Submariner in 2012 where every model was available from the AD apart from a steel Daytona. Even these were only selling used for a couple £100 more than list.

You really nailed it with this comment. It’s sad how everything evolved. But seriously, the watch market is just a reflection of the entire market. Prices are ridiculous for many goods. People are having the fear of missing out and it’s fed by the volatility of other markets. Too much money on the accounts of few... that’s why a dream watch (for example a simple 5513) costs 20k euros instead of a healthy 4 or 5k. ...but I guess that’s how the economy works. It sometimes blows things out of proportion. Buy an old IWC and keep it forever:).

For me it is just staring to die, i was watching the last episode of CRM jewelry, and on the same day they was asking for a submariner date $19500 , and was offering to a client $10000 for the same model , $9k profit wich is insane

The best rambling I have heard for a long time👍👍👍at last somebody who isn’t obsessed with Rolex. Looking forward to your next vid

I guess ur right the rolex hype is going all bad… whats u recommendation between the blackbay 41 burgundy or blue seamater300 41 lollypop sec hand?!! Would love to know ur opinion

Most important is to enjoy the watch journey

Oh yeah buying a Rolex is pure torture now and the opposite of fun!! Who needs that BS. I concentrate on fun watches like seiko, micro brands, Sinn, Oris, etc watches that don’t cost a car and then I mix them up with straps. That to me is fun and what the hobby is about, not stressing over some watch that costs 4 times retail with a two year wait list! 😂🤣🤣HA HA HA NO THANKS!!

The enthusiast being squeezed out by the investor is exactly what happened to classic cars in the 1980s onwards.

Top video and viewpoint.

I found a datejust TT for $49 at a local pawnshop, I sold for $2k, Rolex doesn't establish market value on their watches,if you can't get one then it is what it is. I've been collection for over 30 years and I have no complaints against Rolex because the gray market is going crazy with pricing. Rolex was there 30 years ago and it will continue to be there regardless of popularity or aftermarket pricing.

Dude you hit the nail right on the head.

No more Rolex sport watches on AD's shelves anywhere in the world. At the same time, you'll find tons of those on the grey market at 2, 3 or even more times the retail price. Stop buying Rolex watches on the grey market may partialy solve this problem.

I started also early, but this year I got rid of those that have an incredible price tAk. Sold hulk, AP.RY …. (never wear them anywAy) This prices can’t stay. I only kept 5 watches. And I actually bought a breitling b09. So I kept the jaeger moon in gold for occasions n 3 Rolex

Fantastic video. Agreed with the sentiment and I appreciate the deep dive into this topic, which is important to all of us who have collected for 10+ years

Thanks James!

I'm a 61 year old who adapted and went the smart watch route, came back to real watches cause they will never become obsolete don't run out of juice at the end of the day and I can have 3 sub 100 dollar pieces that will last longer than my galaxy watch.

Is the Rolex thing not a massive bubble though? The prices need to be sustained by end users actually paying these prices. I can't help thinking these prices are dealers selling to each other and creating this bubble.

I always laugh loud when ppl say rolex will be next to the holy trinity. It's a mass produced luxury brand, in no way market availability manipulation will push the brand to the horological level of PP, AP, VC, Lange.

I wonder if the Luxury Bizarre Tay Ban lawsuit will rock the grey market? These grey dealers hold the market prices in their hands…

Great insight. You are totally on point. I started the hobby fairly recently. I am definitely in it for the love of the watches. I refuse to pay stupid money for a Rolex on the gray market. If things normalize and I manage to find one at an AD, sure I’ll get it if I’m able. But until then I am quite content with what I have. And there are so many great watches by other brands besides Rolex. Like that Seamaster 300M you are wearing. I have the same one and it is fantastic. Many hobbies have gotten ruined for me by those that choose to try to profit off of something. And regarding KZfaqrs, there are some that I like and have good information. But sometimes you have to take their information with a grain of salt. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

James, couldn't agree more. The last 2 years were pretty special. This situation has to cool down when things get back to normal again. If Rolex will become more available again depends a lot on Rolex themselves and how they deal with the AD issue. Good to have you back, keep up the good work!😎👍

Great video 👍🏼 . A lot of good observations and comments. I’m also not a fan of the rise of live stream with superchats etc .

Well said. I already stop collection rolex and pp which are the only two brand I collect If it comes, I will buy it at msrp Otherwise I’m ok with not buying any watch

Finally someone saying what I have been thinking for a while, there seems to be an elitist group on KZfaq just going around on each other’s channels and basically blowing smoke up each other’s holes whilst asking for people to send in donations.
