Rolex being demoted is absolutely class! Recently been to Dubai walked into the AD and all the salesmen were w**kers. Looked us up and down with no service at all. Opposite to that walked into Vacheron Constantin expecting to be laughed out of the shop and the head of sales was one of the nicest ladies we’ve ever met. Showing us all the models available, talking us through their rich history and genuinely having time to speak to us. Rolex make some incredible watches but they do not give a toss for anyone.

Yes, orient is a great entry, I have a vintage power reserve cream dial, sappire and automatic. Its rare to find an authentic one and this watch holds so much sentimental value to me as it allowed me to join the community (bought the watch from original owner). The owner had so much passion and made an exception to sell to a new member after he saw my genuine interest in watches. It's a very striking to the eyes the way the champagne dial and blue hands compliments any suit.

Congrats mate, 1m fully deserved. I feel like Rolex has really been trading off their history for so long and it's great to see someone put them in their place. I genuinely think that you actually have quite a huge pool of influence in the watch game, since this channel has started we've seen iced out watches go out of fashion and those who used to wear them change exclusively to stock, factory finished. Be great to see whether Rolex heeds the warning, or doubles down on their own incompetence. Innovation is just as important as history, can't wait to find out which brands could challenge a god tier spot next year.

Love the enthusiasm you bring to every video. The fact that you don’t sugar coat how you feel about a brand. Also, Casio as god tier, come on!! Every watch guy has either started with a Casio or had one or two in the beginning. I still have every single watch I’ve ever bought, cheap or expensive. I DO love Omega though. It was the first official luxury watch I ever got to wear, something like 20 years ago and I fell hard for them. The weight, the aesthetics, the reasonable price. I will own one in the next year.

@@averagemike2171 I've had a few of them, and my experience with the company and with the watches themselves has been very very good. They put excellent movements in their watches, the fit and finish is near perfect, and their designs are very versatile and attractive. I personally like dive watches, and their Aquis has such an excellent case design. Their watches aren't particularly flashy, they probably don't get noticed as often as other brands, but they offer absolutely insane value for the money. If the Aquis ran for double it's current retail, I believe it would still be plenty competitive in its space. That's just my take. I have more expensive watches that I enjoy a lot less than my small Oris collection.

But they need to get WAAAAAY better at organizing their pages and communicating their collections clearly.

They need to reduce their lineup by 95%. You can't create desire for a brand when theres a different watch for each day of the year. Look at Gordon Ramsay when he goes to a restaurant and the chef's offer 70 dishes on the menu...how the hell is anyone supposed to know what they want?? 12 different models. That's what grand Seiko needs. Only 12 max, design wise...then add in your different dials. Quality over quantity (in design, obviously, their build quality is second only to Lange.)
@sylinmino
@sylinmino Жыл бұрын
@@Snakebloke I disagree completely. GS's lineup is smaller than Rolex's, much smaller than Cartier's, and only a bit larger than Patek's. The problem is, those brands organize their models better and make 100 options look like 10. Grand Seiko makes 100 options look like 1000. Better classification of their watches into their case designs and style would go a LONG way. In reality, all of GS's watches should be able to fit into less than 10 lines (44GS, 62GS, Ultra Slim Dress, Original GS, Evolution 9, Sports GMT, Sports Chrono). Past that, subsections for mechanical vs quartz vs spring drive. Then, also overhaul all the website photos because they are BAD. There. Streamlined, understandable and consistent page design. Grand Seiko is actually getting closer to this, but their website organization of these categorizations is atrocious.
