10 Things You Must NEVER Do With Your Watch 

Before you give up on a watch that you think was a mistake or that you've gotten tired of and sell it on for a big loss, try changing the band. It may transform the watch, and if it doesn't work, you probably can salvage the band for another watch. Btw, you're the best in the business Andrew, but you'll just ignore this comment.

Andrew is an absolute wordsmith. Sometimes it feels like he’s talking about me and I’ve never even met the man.

Your RU-vid videos get better and better. Always good entertainment for every watch enthusiast

My mother drank too much vodka when she was pregnant...NOW I have an excuse! Thanks, Andrew!

Anyone insecure enough to regret a watch purchase just because of an online comment or opinion, should stay away from the internet full stop.

“Watch dealer for the navy seals” funniest thing I’ve heard in weeks. And I’ve spoken to a flat earther

You’ve done it again, Andrew. You’ve amused, entertained and educated me! I appreciate all the hard work you must put in to make these little masterpieces. Many thanks

Collecting is a journey, not only consumerism. Each customer I meet has a different reason for why to sell/trade and why to buy a new watch, some reasons are hilarious, some are tragic. Enjoy your watch and the memories attached to it as much as you can. We are not eternal and watches remind that to us daily. Buy a watch for what it means to you, never what it means for the others.

This is a great episode, superbly filmed, written and delivered.

So much sage and relatable advice 💯

Love the humour you inject into your comments!

Great video. Funny analogies. Well done.

Another great video Andrew, thank you, really enjoy your content

Such great prose! And heartfelt sentiments. Bravo!🎉

Yeah, the internet section was nailed 😅

Sometimes you make a watch video about your collection, and your favorite watch RU-vidr make a reaction video to it 😃

This is way deeper than I expected. Love it

Andrew - another fantastic video filled with thought, insight and super funny...and no, Teddy didn't put me up to this comment to make you over-confident!!

What an enjoyable video! Thanks so much! You made me smile, you made chuckle. 😊 Have a great day.

Andrew on fire! Informative and hilarious --- infolarious. And spot on to boot. Cheers!

You are great, great content, great voice and somehow great knowledge👍🏻. Keep it up!!

Exceptionally good video!

I really wonder why the „regrets“ section is fully accompanied by images and videos from the IWC Ingenieur?!😂

Genius observations!

Love it thanks 🙏

Nice work Andrew! One content provider to rule them all!

The cure for most problems mentioned by Andrew is, buy pre-owned and at a good price! Little to no loss if one wants to move away from a watch…

Absolutely great video

Brilliant! Funny. True. And well written. Great video. Keep it up.

This one resonated with me😂 The thing is, I still regret those regrets. Regret, it seems, is like a chap's balcony over the sweetshop; it grows with time.

You are consistently the highlight of my day! Not sure if that is a reflection on you or the state of my life. You are ALWAYS witty, informative and a brilliant wordsmith. Thanks so much for doing what you do.

Your writing is as great as your images. Keep up the good work. I’ll keep watching.

Loved the content of this latest video! It is something I completely empathise with and well done you for passing the message on to be that little bit nicer to someone and each other.......it was kind of a resolution for myself this year! 🙂

WOW! You actually have other shirts! Looks great. I really appreciate your work and am glad you are changing it up a bit. Thanks.

Nice video. You’re getting better Andrew.

What a wit you have regarding the watch world and the psychology about us watch collectors.

A master of the metaphor. Keep on keeping on.

I love your videos! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Trolling Teddy! 😂 love both of you. 👊🏻👊🏻

Andrew, your perspicuousness (is that a word?) never cease to amaze. IF you find yourself thumbing a lift having been pushed off the horology highway, you always have a budding career in stand up comedy ! Notwithstanding the humor in this video, the tips are spot one except for getting rid of a watch. Just keep it. It (any purchase) represents a point in history when a decision was made whatever that was. It may not appeal today, but your view will change when you look back at it 10 years from now.

Well constructed, and transferable to almost any ‘object.’ Well done.

One of the best videos i ve seen yet about watches and not only of course! You offered some great psycological guidance not only in the watch world but generally n the consuming world. Weel done! Respect! Thank you!

Oh gosh.. an interesting take and you make some real points.

One of your best-ever videos!

Wow. That G-F at 12:45 Stunning.

Hell yeah Andrew! Congratulations on 150k subscribers! Keep it up!

Omg youre so funny. Amazing collection of watch imagery, insights and comedy. Kudos.

Brilliant video 👏👏👏

"This is my watch. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My watch is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life... etc."

What an absolutely brilliant and funny and wise video, loved watching this, all of it so so true 👍🏻

Brilliant vid, ha ha ha the bit about buying a watch then re-watching watching videos and re-reading articles about it to reaffirm and convince yourself you were right to buy it from the approval of strangers, I always do that 😂😂 no more though!!

As a Trekkie, I appreciate the inclusion of the classic Bashir-Garak quote. Even when it's about watches? Especially when it's about watches. Keep up the great work!

I have no problem admitting defeat on a watch I've purchased. Years of practice in other fields of self acclaimed expertise have made me bulletproof to subsequent fails.

Andrew Morgan is amazing!!!!

oh the narrative ❤

Definitely try the watch on before buying it, if possible! It will help avoid the pain of opening the box, putting it on and realising it is not the best fit for you!

Love your new channel, best luck Could you please make an episode on Jocob Arabo Thank you

Bought a Tissot Prx automatic with blue dial and a Casio W86 -1v in one week. The Casio stole my heart. Never buy a watch to impress others.

Contents. Also spoilers, but you should watch the whole thing like I did: 1) 0:16 - don't show it to everyone (oops) 2) 1:57 - don't talk to her for the next three hours about your watch. 3) 3:44 - don't buy a watch you're not 1,000,000,000% sold on. Corollary: don't keep doubling down on it, just sell it. 4) 5:19 - don't screen your watch online (oops) for clout. 5) 7:07 - don't scour the internet for validating opinions re: the watch you already bought (commenter note: if you feel an itch for this, see #3 & consider selling) 6) 9:11 - don't buy beyond your means, you'll sweat it each time you look at it. Relatedly, see #3. 7) 10:55 - don't buy assuming you'll make money on it (or relatedly, assume it'll lose money the second you buy it) 8) 12:27 - don't worry about keeping the watch scratch-free. relatedly, if you know you'll worry about it, see #3 and #6. 9) 14:00 - don't assume this watch will be your forever watch, you'll get bored of it eventually and that's okay. 10) 15:25 - don't treat it as more than just a watch. It's just a watch. It just tells the time. (but it does help you connect with other people who also like watches)

Lol, you're so correct. I am very attached to all my watches emotionally and my more expensive ones are exactly what u said

Love your channel. Always fun and informative. However, I must argue, be it ever so feebly, that my quarts PRX does kind of give me that first kiss feeling every time I put it on "my precious" 🤣. Keep up the brilliant work☮️

I don't know what your mother was drinking, but I thank my lucky stars for it. Another banger. More please!

EXCELLENT and the graphics were great! Are your novels this good?

How are you able to get inside my head. Your words are so damn accurate and sometimes you just need to hear these things from someone seriously respected. Thank you

My hero

"How much vodka did your mother drink when she was pregnant?" I have to remember that one! Thanks for the laughs on a dreary day here in western Canada :)

Dulcet tones. Check. Incisive observations. Check. T-shirt in the middle of winter. Check. You probably won't believe it, but you "da man.

I’ve seen so many times in the past that people who have a water resistant watch like 100m or more avoid water, I can tell you this is because you’re avoiding water and washing your watch regularly you’re risking not only to potentially making your watch no longer water resistant but also corrosion and damage to you watch case Sweat and dust and other foreign elements are the worst enemy for your watch, just like computers hate the dust and heat so does your watch hate your sweat and such… Just a friendly advice, wash you water resistant watch often in warm water and some hand detergent, I do it everyday and my watch is sparkling clean and water tight…

I’ve just had the call from my Rolex AD. This video helped me make my decision and think with my head not my heart…..nah… it’s beautiful and shiny, I’m going to say yes to it regardless 😂😂

Hey Andrew. I really liked this video. Specially the final minutes. I agree. Sometimes something as simple and mundane as a watch can get you connected to some trully amazing people. And that moment your life turns to the better or even to the best i would dare to say. Thanks for all your hard work in this videos that keep me away from other life worries for a few minutes every now and then. Teddy promised me 20 dollars if i write this. It is just business 😅

Most of the advice you ditched out on this video applies to generally other things in life too, thank you.

I went through a few months of thinking "if I get a Rolex, that will be the last watch I buy". I scoured the internet, saved my dollars and finally bought one. I thought I had arrived. I thought that watch would cure me of the need to look in shop windows or browse ebay. Nope. I bought another one.

I did not realize until just this moment that there are 10 watches that exist on this planet that I absolutely must have immediately! Good thing that I wrote them all down!!!!

Amen to all that's been said except that when I buy a watch - invariably for my younger son - I've never thought of it as an investment. It's always for keeps, with no intention of selling it off in future

Ive been after a titanium diver..Bought a certina ds 38mm titanium, thought i loved it. When i got it i was like.. sheeshh i think what i wanted was a tag titanium solargraph.. bought it.. now im like.. maybe what i wanted was the pelagos? Im i sick? I really like the solargraph though.

I watch these videos as much for the sarcasm as I do for the info 😂

One thing you should never do is to put them through the wash in your trouser pocket. Especially if they have zero water resistance. Omega servicing did a pretty good job on my DeVille, that was my 21st birthday present from my parents, but...

Your videos are “the best”… always enjoyable. WOW! I love the closing Omega footage. Now THAT’s a watch 😊.

So true that one watch won’t do it. Got the grail watch (which met 2 other desirable requirements), and we’re now 3 more watches down since.

I noticed that when a person’s eyes glaze over, you lost them. lol My wife wanted a new watch, so I bought her a Tissot that she really liked. I started to tell her about the watch and noticed I had lost her. I said I thought you wanted to know a little about the Tissot? And she asked, does it tell time? I gave up right there. lol

very clever.

Ok so mortgage the house and put it all on the horses. Thank you for the investment advice Andrew. The wife is a bit unsure but we are putting our trust in you.

Super!

I have taken a Rolex YM with me while hacking through the jungle in the Congo to come across a large Silverback gorilla. Rolex did great! I also recommend them when sled dogging to the North Pole. An Omega Seamaster is better for climbing Everest and, of course, a 5811 for flipping of super yachts. My 2 cents....

My dentist looked at my watch once while getting a cleaning, let’s just say recommendations of services has risen a bit 😂

"Most people who like watches are guys", yeah because, well for one we love machinery, and 2 it's our only universally accepted form of jewelry. Our accouterments - our "man jewelry "! 😅

I had a Tissot Seastar for 49 years, I wore that watch every day, in the shower, swimming in pools, and even swimming a lot in the Pacific Ocean, it never had any signs of rust outside or inside, no moisture ever got into it, and it wasn't even a screw down crown. It did fatally fail 3 years ago when the rotor bearings fried and it couldn't be repaired, my jeweler told me to send it to Tissot which I did, but they could not fix it either, so they offered me an exchange, my watch for a new PR100 Powermatic 80 and $220 which would have been the cost of the repair, I took the deal.

I want to hear more about this car purchase!

Watches are very highly personal items hence should definitely be kept under wraps and not be shared with others unless these others are well known trustworthy individuals. Along the same lines I buy watches which impress and or please me individually never to seek others approvals or impress anyone anyway. They would do different spending their money, they have different aspirations and tastes in everything which is great. I have yet to sell a watch away, I don’t think I’ll ever do it though.

How many times have you done this? Rock bottom and digging. So sad, many thanks for all your previous good videos and your historical work in Watch Finder

The ladies, the UBER driver, the barman, the waiter! Bloody hell, all these people are after us all!!!

Lot of good Utubers out there, but you, Tim Masso and Teddy Baldasare are the best in your own way!

The tip don't read comments after buying the watch I usually ignore. But I like to be out of mainstream. So much that after I got my review from Spotify my songs are to mainstream I made the new year resolution not listening to artist with more then 5 figures accesses. Negativ comments proof I'm not mainstream, positive prove I'm right.

Buying a watch that others like is a big one. Buy what you like. Forget about what others say, and don't buy a watch to impress others. It won't.

I think one of the regrets i've had was to get a watch because I was offered one, and I knew was pretty coveted. I'd worry if I didn't take it. At the end, I realised it wasn't a good fit, and I'd be stuck "holding the bag" because I didn't want to sell the watch and enrage the brand.

damnit andrew, now i need to find a new watch case and sell my pelican 😂

After 22 years of collecting I’ve avoided the mistakes you’ve talked about, it’s just cost me north of a fancy car 🤦‍♂️

The existentialism of watch owning.

Andrew, what kind of car did you buy? A Porsche? GTR?

Tried a IWC pilot chronograph. Didn’t like it. Thought the finish of the case was poor. Didn’t last a year.
