How To Buy A Rolex & Other Luxury Watches On eBay Risk Free + Unboxing 

Wanted to say thanks so much for introducing me to the world of watches, as a 23 year old man who works in healthcare (thereby needing to be bare below the elbows) I had always assumed quality watches were out of my price range and frankly an indulgence i could ill afford. I had looked at many of my grandfather's watches and been impressed at the craftsmanship and detail, however didn't see a way for me to be involved in the hobby. I strongly feel the points you have made in previous videos regarding traditional brands failing to engage the younger consumer are accurate, and (controversially) think the Seiko 5 Sports models are a noble attempt to engage this otherwise untapped market. Thanks to your channel i am the proud owner of two lovely Casio Edifice watches and have my first automatic, an Orient Mako 2 on the way!

It's simple really. I see a TGV video, I hit like, my day is instantly better.

After overhearing this video, Mrs JJ has just informed me that I am banned from eBay. She knows me too well.

Is anyone else concerned that TGV just said that he secretly wants to be Patrick Bateman? Do you even like Huey Lewis and the news? I'd stick around for your answers but I have to go return some video tapes.

Sunday night...."Today I'm going to bed early!" Also Sunday night: TGV releases new video. And that's that. :D

Yeah he uploaded again, this is they best part of my day

My main concern would be those who swap out movements or other parts undetectable under general inspection, my local authorized Rolex dealer warned me about this many years ago...but great video as always TGV. Bravo!

eBay - home to the biggest bargains, and the biggest regrets!

This is not only a great video on how to buy a watch on eBay but it serves as a great eBay buyers guide for anything

Once more iam holding the comments section hostage. But i have to say (again), everone should be watching this channel. No one else talks like that. They want to seem like they get these watches just because they're so recognizable so companies just magically send watches. LOL. but you keep it real, I do the same thing. Iam addicted to looking at watches on ebay. Thanks again.

This is just my single Rolex in my collection (black dial just not tapestry) left to me after my dad passed so I'll never sell it. Now a days it is not as flashy as it used to be in the 80's, easier to wear every day, it introduced me to smaller sizes, has so much class, dare I say it? Pure Class!

I love hearing your wife in the background laughing out loud at you :D

Nice piece. Just the right a amount of bling without being obnoxious.

I’ve had some great eBay watch experiences, great video TGV !!

I prefer this classic office-view camera set up better than the headshot-view from last video! keep up the great content!

I said OHHHH the same exact time he did, when he saw the watch under the packaging. :D not my ideal rolex but still stunning !!!!!

I wish they did this in Europe.. Beautiful watch btw!

You really got the best sound of any gentlemen's/watch enthusiast channel. Fantastic quality overall. Greeting from Sweden!

Good evening TGV, the intro put a huge smile on my face😁This video transfers so much knowledge, wether one buys his or hers first luxury watch, or one is an avid watch enthusiast/collector. Have a great evening! Best regards!

I wish it was 2001 as well. I’d stock up on GMTs and Subs and then back to the future

I am very busy today, so I will watch this video another day, but I will let you know that I bought a Hamilton Khaki by watching one of your older uploads. What a watch! Thanks for your nice videos as always

Can't get enough of these bloopers,love them!

Huzzah! A man of culture! I see you’re also rocking some stone island along with your already strong wrist game.

What a cracking watch, I LOVE that texture in the dial.

What!?!? Two uploads in one week! Yeah! Excellent. Thanks much, TGV! Very glad to see this as I had NO idea this service was even in existence.....Eat your heart out, Which (watch) Box!.....yes, I know, perhaps ungentlemanly, but at least you know us Gentry are always there with you! Onward and Upwards, my friend!

I really enjoyed the video while having a smoke and you always seem to surprise me with the wristwatch check

The authentication is an Awesome offering… I very much I’ve been contemplating buying an omega speed master and eBay has by far and away the best pricing… Can’t wait to use this feature! For the great info TVG!

omg I love the Frasier mug! That is my favorite show EVER! Glad to see there are other fans.

Authenticity Guaranteed is amazing. A must! A no brained. I’m sold 100%. Wish this was available in EU.

This was a very informative and helpful video Thumbs up

Thank you TGV for this video! Is alwais nice to see you!!! I laugh so much in to the intro 😂😂😂

Ok. Ive watched enough of your videos throughout the year, its about time I subscribed.

I won’t ever use eBay again. I used to buy and sell on eBay until I was scammed as a seller. Buyer claimed it wasn’t what was described (vintage DJ36) and even after showing all my proof, eBay/PayPal sided with the buyer. When I refunded the money, I didn’t get back my box and papers or my original TT bracelet - was sent a fake bracelet. When I brought it up with eBay, they said they can’t do anything about it. That’s when I started using forums and Reddit, best thing to ever happen. No dumb fees either.

Wow thanks I’m a 19 year old and you got me into watches hopping to get a Hamilton khaki field for my 20th thanks for the video and say hello to the star Hugo

Just picked up an older aqua terra with the authentication for just under $3000. Super pumped. Buying on eBay isn't so bad. Selling is a nightmare and I do not recommend. I've had too many idiots buy my watches and I end up paying for their mistakes because they have no clue what they are doing. Example I had one idiot buy a black 1545 maxi dial and after I sent it he asked me if it was blue. Like, no dummy it's clearly listed as black and squale doesn't make the maxi in blue. Had to wait 2 weeks to get it back so I could re list it. Facebook is even worse though. If people disagree with your asking price, they post the most rude comments bashing your sale.

Great video as always TGV! I hope you're staying healthy and safe.

As someone who struggled to get the opening of my videos right (heck, the whole thing really) so hilarious seeing this open! Lovely video mate.

I bought my seiko sla 021 on eBay came just like your Rolex i was very pleased with my marinemaster 021 great vid my good chap and love your vids thanks for your Awesome research on these Amazing watches

you really are the best youtuber to make intros 😂❤️

Fantastic...if you had said to me, 'You will enjoy a video about shopping on eBay', I would have called you crazy! TGV, my wife would like that superpower to make me enjoy shopping with her!

Great video TGV! You consider doing a comparison video between ebay and chrono24.

Thank you for your video bud. I was planning to buy an omega planet Ocean, but I was always skeptical and scared of doing it on eBay.But thanks to your video i'm gonna pull my trigger🎉

I have this peculiar feeling that this video would never been made if TGV was still affiliated with WatchBox .... ^^

My birthday, and this is a good gift to start the day with. Best regards from Norway ❤🤟

Super good and very useful video. Love it! I’m wishing you the best my friend and congrats on that magnificent piece. Quality content as usual. Have a good one!

Thanks this is very helpful, always a worry buying off ebay, great to see you team up on the live chat with Russel the other week. keep up the great videos by the way.

You should look into getting a Chris Reeve knife. A classy guy like you deserves one. Thank you for your videos. they are very informative.

Loved the intro with the bloopers! Good content, thank you for putting this out

I have an idea on how to get the new generation (gen z) into watches: Team up with the watch community and make videos about watches for young people like the Seiko 5 sports, or the citizen eco-drive. Then maybe make an ad on Instagram, or like a # something. So that if they click it, it will interest them. Also go with modern-designed watches, like sports or dive watches, because that is mostly what will interest them, and say to stay away from fashion watch companies, and companies like vincero and filippo loretti. Also include watches about both guys and girls. Anyway, just some ideas to help grow the watch community in the world.

Will have to check if this service is available in Europe. It is a must to avoid troubles, no doubt. About the Rolex, you have an excellent taste.

Just the kind of video I was waiting for! Great stuff

thats a beauty. ive really been smitten with the new christopher ward c60 saphire . its maagic

im just concerned on who these "experts" at ebay are, how thorough are they in authenticating the watch

As always great video again by TGV, actually impressed by the Ebay touches , but am i the only one who doesn't have an "Authenticity Guarantee" option after filtering price etc ? Authorised Dealer is the closest? Must be a USA thing.............

Two-tone is the way to go! Black face goes with everything. 80's kid here as well.

The Rollie AM Tees look Awesome! PS - any Hugo out takes and bloopers? LOL

I just love your goofy bloopers intro - and Hugo, of course. Not enough laughs in the world elsewhere so we really need a bit of 'craziness' right now. Keep it up.

Opening blooper reel had me in stitches 😂

Stunning watch. Love the dial, it definitely exudes 80s style which like you, being a child of the 80s, is definitely right up my alley 👌. Definitely seems a good service to those looking to purchase a luxury watch. Enjoy the ⌚ sir

Another informative, entertaining episode. TGV never disappoints. Congrats on the Rolex acquisition. It's a beauty.

It might be a two-tone DJ, but your video is pure 18k gold as always.

SKX owners thumbs up please

Great RU-vid channel That for the information on buying watches on eBay . Congratulations on your Rolex Have a great and safe 2021. My regards to Hugo !

And I wanted to say thanks for taking us on the ride.

Great stuff..... Wouldn't it be nice to be able to travel, to Tokyo perhaps, and do a Lost in Translation Datejust tour....

Thank you so much for this video, makes buying a used luxury a lot less scarier now, much appreciated hope you’re keeping well

0:06 "The Mask" - Jim Carrey 😂😂

Awesome insight my friend! Your advice over the years buying used have certainly helped me with my watch purchases!!!! Gag reel at the start is what I wanna see more!;)

I used ebays Authenticity guaranteed process to buy my speedy pro. It was a great experience!! Got the watch of a great price.

Hi TGV Secretly wants to be P. Bateman...oh, oh😆 Anyway, thanks for the good advice concerning EBay. My impression is that a lot of people complaining about being scammed in this market place could have avoided that if they had known about the possibility’s. So, valuable tips indeed... Love that tapestry dail on the Rolex. Keep up the good work, mate👍

Thanks very much for sharing this knowledge, love your videos as always, top draw 👍

I’ve heard lots of stories about the authenticators losing parts, or the whole watch. A question is, do you trust the EBay authenicator to know the nuances of a vintage Rolex

This is very cool! It’s cool the market is big enough eBay made this program.

Great watch and great dial too. Best looking Datejusts are from 70's and 80's.Cheers from Italy

I honestly don't like buying even remotely expensive stuff used. Though I appreciate eBay for either novelty watches (Vostok!) or parts for modding.

As a result of your video, I've decided to pull the trigger on a watch that's forever been on my Ebay watchlist. This did the trick. (And wouldn't you know it: a two-tone Datejust.) Thanks, Chief.

80’s baby 💪 nice watch

Great tutorial TGV, Ebay has definitely stepped up from the past. Good outtakes as well my friend. Enjoy your week! 🥃

Yes indeed. Had wanted a Longines A7 and bought a limited edition through this process. Slowed arrival less than a week. And now have the certification card if I want to trade up. And have since bought an IWC 5454, also certified. A great process. Thanks for showing it off. I’m a big fan of the channel. Roll on and stay healthy. You are gem among gravel.

Clicks search eBay and we see TGVs recent search history, careful of that snide Stone Island on eBay mate lol. Great video as always

The watches that are dearest to my heart are my late father's 1972 Omega Constellation, and my late uncle's 1980 Rolex Submariner in stainless steel. I love your channel TGV! Most of the watches I've collected--12 at last count, with 3 more on the way, I collected with your advice. Thank you for your incredible insight on this awesome hobby called horology.

The bloopers are always great to see! 😀

Thank you for the share I love my Tapestry dial. I wear the heck out of it as well. Thank you again always wanted to by from eBay

Congrats on the new purchase. Enjoy!!

Never ever liked the two tone Rolex. NOW NEED ONE 😩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻 Great show, stay safe.

Informative as always TGV! Did not know about this eBay feature. Stay safe😷🍹

Hello TGV just a thought if you can do a series of videos on affordable watches i am sure due to pandemic people purse must be quite tighter nowadays i think it would be a great idea.

TGV the watch looks fantastic and congratulations sir lol I think Tony Soprano would give you his approval on the two tone Rolex and the track suit 😊👍🇮🇹

Congratulations my friend, great video love the new piece, enjoyed and wear it in good health, Ebay is be coming an icon to the watch community in my opinion, I have visited and buy many pieces from Ebay 👍👍is great way owning the real thing with the out any affiliate problems....

Nice purchase TGV. I have a Rolex Datejust model 16220 (stainless steel) with a grey tapestry dial. I have been looking for a nice 16233 gold/stainless model with the gold tapestry dial to add to my collection. Just waiting for the right watch to come along. Glad you are still wearing the Stone Island tops! Best wishes from Nottingham U.K.

But you make it look so easy!!! I bet you made this intro just to make us all feel better haha

Very handy video. Thanks TGV.

Enjoy the British sense of humor accompanied with sensible knowledge on how to use eBay. Thank goodness the dinosaur was not a big part of the intro.

Really enjoy your videos TGV, specially the background music. It's almost like your in a luxury lounge of some sort talking amongst friends, with a nice cigarr and a brandy/whiskey 😁. What's your thoughts about the new zenith Chronomaster, would love if you could do a review on it 😁.

Hi TGV, hope you're doing well Very nice and interesting video, because since 7months i learning about ebay, idon't bought a watch from there until now but I do spend a lot of time looking on a nice piece. Thanks mate, i will use your advices soon

Oh my god!! That's exactly the watch that I want to buy maybe when I finish my phd or when I have a big success in my business. I want to be a special occasion and this will be my first rolex!! Now I have a seiko datejust 80s style to alleviate the pain that I don't have yet my dream watch!!! 😅

Great video and tip for authentication, really helps. Living in Europe using eBay doesn't really help, anything coming from outside they add VAT % on that and it just kills any price leverage we might get by using eBay. If you can suggest a place to buy watches in EU, web shop that ships from EU, would be great help.

👀👀👀 banging Stoney jacket

Good evening tgv good to see you again, congratulations on your new purchase looks fantastic with the stoney, keep safe and stay well out there, your friend Ryan. O&U .

what a classy watch, congratulations sir!
