I’m head over heels for expensive watches and yes, I own maybe more than one. But my Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon was truly pricey … but I bought it at a special moment in my life. I love it and it’s worth it for me!

@jameskikuoka4863 10 месяцев назад

You are right about the current prices of Rolex precious metal watches. However, just ask the “seasoned” collectors. There was a time not too long ago when you could walk into a local AD and “negotiate” at least 10% -15% off a precious metal Rolex sports watch. Sometimes (and often) even more. Why? They were very,very poor sellers. I remember walking right off the street into Torneau in NYC and was offered a couple percent off a Smurf. Got it from another dealer at 18% off. As the economy slows and slows, those days are coming back!

@notenoughtime7274 10 месяцев назад

I get the point on not spending more than 30k on watches. But for full precious metal - relatively to other brands - I don’t think that’s expensive for a Rolex, given the generous weight and thickness of precious metal included. As a comparison to other brands, it’s in the ball park of a full precious metal omega, and a full precious metal AP or Patek starts at nearly double that.

Every time I get the fever to buy a luxury watch (I love dozens of them), I get out my Seiko 5 and wear it for a week. It has a beautiful white dial, applied stick markers, day date automatic with a lovely leather strap I put on it. $115 if you count the added strap into the total. Then I ask myself if $20k to get a luxury dress watch is a great idea, and where would I actually wear that beautiful piece of jewelry? The answer is different for everyone, but I have my answer for myself. Maybe if I win the lottery things would be different...

A benefit of your hubbie buying that Daytona: any of your watch purchases will seem like a far lesser evil by comparison. 😁 And regarding the Seiko 62MAS/Prospex, what makes it even worse of a deal is that there's a collection of US Special editions coming out with stunning blue, textured dials for around $1250 (SPB419 and especially the SPB421, found in the Seiko 2023 'Luxe Collection' catalogue). 6R instead of 8L, of course, but still.

@rmelo5932 10 месяцев назад

Great video Brit. My take on the new Seiko; they are justifying the heavy price for 3 reasons IMHO. 1. 8L movement; 2. Limited Edition; and 3. Seiko suckers (of which I are one), will still line up for their offerings. Things that are not important to me are limited editions, couldn't care less for LE offerings. Long power reserves. 38-40 hours has been plenty for me. Never had a watch run down. Precious metals. If I want precious metal on my wrist, I would buy a bracelet. Precious metal on a watch does nothing for the function of the watch, and honestly, why pay for platinum, when it looks almost like stainless steel. Gold watches look too garish or kitchie for me. However, everyone should buy things that make them smile. The best watch out there is the watch that brings you joy everytime you put it on your wrist.

Seiko have been bumping up their prices for a while now. But their quality controll is not following, and that is the real problem.

@jorgsofi 10 месяцев назад

@@BrittPearceWatches The thing about Seiko is their actual accuracy is almost always better than their quoted one. Speaking of overpriced watches, I feel the RU-vid favorite Tudor Black Bay 58 on a steel bracelet is overpriced at $3,900. For less money, you can get a modern-looking Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 that is the Black Bay's superior in every meaningful way (120-hour power reserve, 10-year warranty, -3/+5 accuracy, highly anti-magnetic, 300m water resistance). True, Oris doesn't have the social status Tudor has, nor does it have (extremely highly paid) David Beckham as a brand ambassador. On the other hand, Oris has an older history than Tudor, and a commendable track record of involvement in environmental causes. Indeed, Oris’s commitment to the environment is embodied by some of their watches dials. In my view, Tudor should add to its Black Bay lineup less expensive versions with Stellita movements, for people who like the Black Bay's vintage vibes, but who don't like to overpay for them.

@kaunas888 10 месяцев назад

Beyond much more than $1000 the exorbitant prices increasingly become not a negative detriment but the most attractive part of it. Being really expensive is the status symbol part...and if it is hard to get then all the more sought after. They are nice watches but fundamentally it is about showing off conspicuous consumption.

@sholemepstein 10 месяцев назад

Tag Heuer was my first luxury watch so I too have a soft spot for the brand. Recently I bought a 1990 gold (plated) Tag Professional out of nostalgia. It was supper popular in South Florida (my old home) during the late 80s and early 90s and I wanted the memories. It goes on eBay for $1,000 to $1,200 which was a lot more than I was willing to pay. Took a little time but I found one in mint condition for well under $500 and gladly bought it

@24hourgmtchannel64 10 месяцев назад

I've only bought one new Rolex, the last of the thinner Submariners 16610 in 2010. The other seven used. I'm glad that I am not a fan of Rolex's current larger designs because prices and availability is pure insanity. I am now looking for a transition 168000 but even the used market prices are insane so unless I can find one needing a bit of tlc for around $7k USD, it's likely not going to happen. Leaning more towards vintage, the Tudor BB54 has also caught my eye but when I spoke with one of my local ADs and she said I'd need to come in and introduce myself and establish a relationship, I replied "For a Tudor, No thanks and goodbye". Today's people who run Rolex and the ADs have lost their mind. Best way is to teach them a hard lesson of good customer service and that's not to buy. But of course this will not work because the harder their watches are to get, the more desperate buyer's are and lining up to overpay.

Britt, I disagree on the 126610LV. It is a bargain at retail due to it selling for considerably more in the pre-owned market. Even with the correction in pre-owned prices, Starbucks currently sell for $17,000 USD average price in the preowned market. That is a superb ROI (if purchased at RRP from an AD).

I admit that Homage/design copy issue bothers me but not sure why. Love the Tudor Black Bay 58 but does it fit into this category? possibly. Where is the line between influence/homage/copy(not fakes obviously)? Does it really matter if one likes it? Most watches are influenced by earlier designs - dive watches are a derivation, to a greater or lesser extent, of Fifty Fathoms, of which arguably the Submariner is perhaps the most famous example. Same can be said of many great works of art that built on earlier styles. Nothing new under the sun as they say.

He said he bought his inventory for 63 % of the Rec Retail Price. So a watch listed for say £ 10,000 rrp cost him £6,700 pounds wholesale from Rolex. (His profit went towards wages for staff and to keep the lights on and rent on the premises, etc. ) It is unknown as to what profit Rolex make when selling the watch at £6,700 wholesale . But they must make enough to pay their staff and overheads , even though they are a charity. Flipper's look like they are now out of business and maybe even a lot of Rolex AD's as Rolex can now eliminate the middle men, namely the AD's and the flipper's . Will this bring the watch I used as an example down to say £8,500 rrp I don't know. Cheers.

YES!! I couldn’t BELIEVE THE NEWS with Rolex and Bucherer!!!! I’m currently on holiday in Canada! (I filmed this video in advance before going!) but if I was home I’d be pouncing on this story. SUCH MASSIVE NEWD OMG! Did you see the Watches of Switzerland share price?!

And there is my favorite RU-vid watch nerd again.. 🤩 There are so many overpriced watches and yes…. I own one (maybe more 🤔😬)…. But my steel/gold Sub was pretty pricey for me. But I love it and bought is at a special moment in my life. Of course the most overpriced watches are the insanely priced Richard Mill watches 😬 And yes Britt, you are correct, I did send you a mail a while ago 😉 No I’m going back to watch the Zandvoort F1 race 🏎️

@BrittPearceWatches 10 месяцев назад

BAHAHA! I too own some overpriced watches! 🤣😝 and you know, worth and value are so subjective! Sometimes what you think is good value or worth it for a watch; might be different to what I think! For example, my santos…. WAY OVER PRICED FOR WHAT IT IS! 🤣 but I love it! And it’s worth it for me!

There are pockets of rumors floating around the Bucherer takeover suggesting that watchmakers like Omega will eventually find themselves unwelcome in Bucherer's new buffet of watch products. The idea is Rolex wants an edge over primary competitors. YTuber Tim Write suggests, "It's all about the math in the Grey market," and Rolex wants to win the math contest

The good news is no one really buys the watches mentioned. When they do they’re 20%+ off (except the Rolex).

It was about time that some watches raised their prices. The JLC prices where the same or more than a rolex submariners or even Daytona 20 years ago... 😅

@@yiannis2002s All depends what you value. I have an SPB143 sitting right next to the SJE093 in the watch box. SJE is measurably better, no doubt. Is it 3 times better? All depends on the individual I would say

Gringa! Just got a 36mm quarts Seamaster 300 Bond era, from around 1996 (2561.80) .... I'm surprised you don't mention these. For a small wrist, or even my bigger wrist... for around £1000.... honestly what a stunning watch

@Mach.87 10 месяцев назад

Then I would like to ask this question. Can you say the same for the daytona you have? Because in order to buy it, it is normally necessary to have a lot of watch shopping history from Rolex. However, not everyone is lucky, so they want to spend 30k- 40k for their grail watches.

@ThorsteinKlingenberg 10 месяцев назад

The Connected is the only properly built smartwatch and worth every penny. Try them and you'll find out. It's basically a smart watch in a swiss made chassis and makes perfect sense.

@harunayanoglu6592 10 месяцев назад

What do you say about a brand specialized (or better say "acquired a fame") in certain types of watches? Such as hamilton, it is well known with its military inspired collections. To your opinion, is it still reasonable to buy a dress watch from hamilton's catalogue?

@stanislas4990 10 месяцев назад

Interesting video. Above a certain price many watches are overpriced. The new summer blue collection from Omega is really great, but if you compare a regular Seamaster, the summer blue dial is more expensive, why? The price of a Rolex Submariner is way too expensive. Just compare with the retail price 10 or 15 years ago. Tag Heuer watches are too expensive now. 10 years ago it was different. For the same amount many watches are probably better than Tag Heuer.

@bobbydazzler1780 10 месяцев назад

Omega price increase Sep 11th. Unknown percentage. And there was I thinking man, that blue Clooney 57 is bloody expensive at eight seven. Next it’ll be nine. And F that.

actually watch papi made a heck of an investment buying that oysterflex "pikachu" daytona. you know that watch is selling for way more than its retail price, right? i'm trying to get the same one from any of my ADs but if I get it I'd be getting the new model. we'll see what happens. Btw, the green submariner is also worth way more than it's retail price so these aren't the best examples to try to make your point. However, I get your point that many watches are overpriced especially if the gray market value is less that their retail price.

The engineer in me feel like I must correct this misconception. Titanium is very strong for its weight, hence in some applications, is a better choice over steel. However, steel is stronger than Titanium all day long in absolute terms.
