You are living the dream man. I’ve been following you for a couple years and it’s cool to see your collection change and grow and evolve. It’s been a fun ride to live vicariously through your collection. I have an explorer 2 and a blue Seamaster, my next piece will be a Tudor Pelagos 💯. Keep it up man, love your content.
All stunning watches Andrew. Personally I think that Globemaster is really nice and I'd keep that one. If you have reasons to sell it then I think your collection needs a Speedmaster!
The Omega Globemaster is absolutely stunning. I think this is a keeper. Like you said…..it’s underrated. It’s different and you don’t see a lot of people wearing this beautiful timepiece.
An interesting debate Andrew and points very well made. Great collection btw. The trouble with trying to estimate one's collection value is that whatever the RRP may now be be and whatever certain 'hype' watches may sell for on the grey market, the ££££ value you actually get from dealers like Chrono 24, Watchfinder will be significantly less - they have to make a profit after all. I have never bought a watch with any expectation that it may increase in value or to make a fast buck. I just enjoy watches full stop, but if one piece's value does increase it usually happens over a long time. I'd say if you want to change up the existing collection do so mate and accept the best prices offered, which can then go towards a new addition or two.
Ahhh cheers mate,,, really appreciate that. And the DJ is awesome but when I've spent so so much on a watch I wanna wear it all the time but it's just not ideal in all situations
Nice collection Andrew. I'm considering the Zenith ceramic in blue. I've recently added the Tudor ceramic black which is a real keeper. The Zenith at £6.100 is a nice piece which I've tried on and the box itself puts others to shame. Good luck
Great collection Andrew, I’d be a bit upset to lose money on the date just, so personally I’d sit back and chill for a while. The 39 OP is beautiful and I soooo regret seeing mine. But love your videos, keep ‘em coming. If you get given other stuff to review then that would be good. There’s loads of micro brands out there, and Rolex etc gets boring after a while. 🍺
Ahhhh cheers Ian,,, really appreciate the comment. I'm not in a rush... but eventually this drive me crazy and I'll have to do something about it! If I get offered some decent watches for the channel I'll definitely take it up. Got a Chris Ward in for loan next week.
Amazing collection. If I were you I'd go for the GP. Although you Could sell the lot and get an Overseas VC. The Omega Seamaster two tone sedna gold is a beauty too. So many watches for the amount you can raise.. take your time. The chase is just as much fun.
Great collection, also more important when they mean something personally. Ironically ended up moving on my white SMP 300 for an upgrade to the white/orange PO. IMO such a better watch, fit an finish. But we’re all own critics and you enjoy, you buy! 👍
Solid collection Andrew, but I get your need for a change up; I am currently contemplating something similar. Funnily, the GP is on my radar right now and I believe it will only continue to become more expensive, as the market realizes what a fantastic piece it is! Definitely try to get your hands on one (I'd have it over the Royal Oak tbh, that is how good it wears). I would also recommend having a look at the IWC Mk XX, which I believe could be a watch right up your street. Selling-wise, I honestly would say to sell both Rolex's and see if you can swing a Master 2, where prices have come down massively, to get the quintessential GMT (and Rolex) in your collection. Keep both Omega's, as the Globemaster is a lovely piece and I would also recommend to try the Seamaster on the rubber/NATO; as the wearability jumps up a level and really improved the experience for me.
Thanks mate,,, the Seamaster works great on Zealande straps and I have them all so that's to consider... the Pepsi was my grail for a long long time! IWC Pilots 41 is also one I really like.
Don’t forget the Chrono24 commission. 6.5% or something. You wouldn’t keep all the proceeds - and you’d have to pay insured shipping for most of these pieces.
You're right to be a bit sceptical about C24 prices. For some perspective I've just bought the white dial Seamaster full set, still in stickers, with warranty cards filled in two months ago for £3800. Dealer wanted £4200. We're in a buyer's market. In general I wouldn't trade watches, especially Rolex watches if you want to keep value in your collection. You have some nice watches. I wouldn't be selling any to be replaced by the ones you mentioned ( add a Speedy maybe). I'm intrigued. Subbed to see what you do. 😉
Ahhh cheers pal,,,, I've got some questions to ask myself for sure! Rolex are amazing and when I don't have one I pine for one so selling them is a BIG thing
I think you need another Bremont in your collection.......ill swap the two tone DJ for my MBII 🤣🤣🤣 on a serious note check out some of the Czapek watches.....very very nice in my opinion 👍
First of all congratulations on the new watch, your wife chose such a perfect watch! I have to say the Globemaster feels like its your signature watch and its a damn good watch, I would keep it along with the OP and Hamilton of course. Sell the DJ41 for the GP defo! What happened to your black bay 58?
Tough one mate. So with the Tudor & Hamilton you have a diver & field. They stay. You’re then left with 2 Rolex (both on more ‘dressy’ side) plus a white dial dressy Globemaster & another white diver in the Seamaster, so you are kind-of overlapping in ‘dress’ and white dial. Personally, I like to cover bases, so I’d be tempted to add a chrono & GMT. I’d sell 2 from your 3 ‘dress pieces’, and look to add a Speedy & Pepsi, if you can. As a long term plan, say in 10 years or so, add/trade in for a Royal Oak 😉🤛🏻
I have 3 Omegas in the a small collection (2 Speedy & 300m) and would be happy to add more (an updated base model Planet ocean) but I'm a fanboy. If It was me I would sell the 2 Rolex's and buy a Two Tone Sub (Bluesy) ooh la la, use the BB and Omegas for daily wear and a heavy hitter for when you want it. You have Rolex sports and the 2 tone. I don't see a time I would want to wear the OP over the DJ.
Man, those were the days when we had new Watch Andrew videos regulary.. I’m sure you are still in the hobby so i think more people are down for a new video mate, I know at least I am! Cheers and I hope things are well for you..
Omega prices now are crazy. My 300m pro chrono diver was £1975 in 2005, now worth over £3k on Chrono 24!!! They are all nice watches Andrew, but if I was you I’d keep the ones that would be difficult to replace, unless you have really fallen out of love with them!! As for the 2 watches you are considering they are also nice but look like they have integrated bracelets, whereas you mentioned you love your Omega because it is a strap monster!!! I’ve got an IWC Aquatimer (Jacque Yves Cousteau), which is a really nice watch but I kind of regret it a little as it is not really a watch that suits after market straps!! 1st world problems!!!👍🤣
That Tudor Heritage 41 with the burgundy bezel is the most beautiful BB. I don’t care about the hype of the BB58, would never give up that one for a BB58. It wears beautiful, very comfortable and the width is not a problem at all. Must keep with the discontinued Rolex OP 39.
If that was my collection thinking about this, sell the Datejust, Seamaster and globemaster and get the GP Laureato and a IWC pilot Chrono.. the collection will cover all bases for all occasions :)
The GP is stunning and for my taste far more wearable than the DJ. So that’s the route I would take at the high end. You could argue that you have got 2 divers now with the Seamaster and the BB, same with dress watches being the Globemaster and the OP (could argue they are sports). The head scratching continues, I have decided myself what to sell now, it’s just been bothered to get around to it now as I’m not replacing them and won’t earn big money by getting rid either. 🤷♂️
Bought the sea master 300 yesterday the black,black dial,bracelet.I got 10% off the price,the assistant said omega will raise there prices like Tudor at around 9% love the watch,my first and most probably only mechanical watch I will own,like the channel👍🇬🇧
Go with your gut. Don’t rush. Keep wearing the Tudor for as long as you can and in the meantime put your other watches somewhere where you can’t see them… if you miss them, hold on. If you don’t, then chop them out and don’t look back. And as for the next purchase, decide based on passion and try to ignore the price tag / retention value etc. Then whisper to your wife which one you’d really like in your Christmas stocking and hope she doesn’t go and buy a new kitchen !
Assuming you keep the Tudor and the Hamilton I would sell everything else, though it’s a pain in the arse selling one luxury watch let alone four! I would use the circa £25k to buy…OP41 black dial (£7k grey market), Submariner Bluesy (£14k grey market) and Cartier Santos medium (£5k grey market). Job done!
Some nice watches mate . Glad your not taking Chrono 24 prices as actual value . I can't imagine a scenario where I would sell my Rolex to buy a GP. But it's not my collection . I'm trying to keep mine down to three (so called high end ones )waiting on some and if they come in . Then might move some on
The globe master must stay, well I like it any way. Don’t sell the Rolex’s, keep the seamaster, the Hamilton and the Tudor, In fact keep em all and just save for your next purchase. I’m loving iwc lately. Lovely collection mate 👍🏻. What about a tag heuer monoco
"Only" half a dozen main watches, wow I'm jealous. I've been in the hobby since March 2010 and currently am down to 13 main's. 3 Omega, 2 Rolex, 2 IWC, 2 TAGHeuer, 1 Breitling, 1 UN, 1 GS, 1 Tudor. Been stable for many years now. I get frustrated sometimes with so many (I know, a ridiculous "problem" to have), but I can't seem to part with any of them, plus I don't really need the cash. Interestingly, they're worth about the same as yours, realistically AUD56K. They're all just little works of art that I love too much, and after 13 years and turning over literally hundreds of pieces, I guess you could call it a curated collection at this point 🙂
@@watchandrew Well I guess here's the thing, I don't need to wear them all in rotation. Mostly I'll wear my Railmaster (2007), Datejust (2006) or Mark XVI, my magic 3. Then one of the others sporadically. But I crack open the safe every-single-day just to get one of the 13 out and admire its engineering and artwork. I'm just infatuated.
My first Seamaster I paid £1100 in 1999 from Goldsmiths in White Rose (ha bet you've bought a few from that shopping centre), I didn't even go in for that as I was buying my Mrs a watch for her 21st, that's where the watch bug started for me, then had the next 20 yes flipping, loosing money after getting bored, have managed to get out of it the last couple of years thankfully, as I'm a 1/2 watch guy, for the reason you mention where it was messing with my head of what watch to wear at a particular time (most I had was 5 decent ones at one particular time) much prefer having a reduced collection, trust me it will take a weight off your shoulders.
@@watchandrew certainly does doesn't it, knew you'd have had a few from there being a local lad, jesus went just before Christmas and half if it is closed down (but TAG still thinks it's ok to open a shop there) 😂
Andrew i know it’s not your bag but would you review the Casio G Shock GA 2100 1AER , aka Casioak. Be interested on your thoughts on what looks to be a mega bargain I just bagged a new one @£66 uk retailer. Please 🙏
I'd keep the 2 the wife bought you, and sell the rest. If you can get 25k for the others , then I'd get a white gold submariner with the blue face and bezel. The bb is a great everyday wearer, and classic , and the rolex would be something really special. It wouldn't be a big collection, but its one that you could be proud of. Any more than 3 watches is a waste really. I've got 7 , but I only need 3. Lol.
I would flog the Rolex’s while people are are still blinded by the name on the dial. Rolex is massively overrated but people are starting to wise up. Keep the Globe master because it’s so underrated and sell the Seamaster if you have to keep the Tudor. I’ve had that Tudor and it’s not a patch on the Seamaster but if it’s got to stay something has got to give. You need a sapphire Speedmaster 👌🏼 and that GP 👌🏼
You need a dress watch. I’d keep Hamilton, Tudor, and the Omega Globemaster. Sell the rest and invest the difference. Just not in watches. Or, if you can’t help yourself, sell all but the first two and buy the GP, and invest the difference.
i would sell the date just and buy the zenith or something similar. I would keep the OP, Seamaster, Globemaster and Tudor. Just my opinion oh and goes without saying keep the Bremont .😀 👍
Personally think you should wear your bb for as long as you can really work on the special relationship with the one watch and store the rest away see how it goes see if you can be a one watch guy .. it’s a shit time to sell as the market is on its arse and not a lot of money around ..Don’t think you will do this as theres probably a bit of a buying addiction in action and you always have to be flipping to buy something new . Watch with GP there’s a real chance that you could take an absolute tanking .. Don’t think there will be any deals on this at present as it has come into fashion but the hype is already starting to fade .. I predict that this will be back to selling preowned at around 6 k before too long ..if you must move zenith all the way, wait till end of feb march and look for at least 20% discount it’s achievable all day long as they will be hurting and desperate for sales .. if they don’t bite move on to the next AD.. Don’t be afraid to email ADs around the country asking for their best price .. ADs mark up with zenith is 45 percent so there will definitely be deals to be had if you play hardball..
Great comment and advice,,, two people have suggested putting the watches out of sight now. Are you from Scotland by any chance? Square sausage,,, love them with brown sauce!
@@watchandrew aye .. butchers square slice the nuts … Most of my watches are in the bank these days I feel it’s out of sight out of mind . When I have them close bye it drives the mad obsession about buying and selling which just ends up with losing a whole stack of money .. I also don’t really like all the eBay shit. You have to put up with all the low balling and you never know who your selling to etc .. over the years I’ve sold to real arseholes and it can become a pain . My plan is at some point is to sell pretty much all my big hitters . At home at present I have a cward rado captain cook and oris 65 which I wear to the office which all do a great job . I’ve got a whole Stacy of cash tied up in watches that are lying in the bank doing nothing what’s the point ? Weirdly I think the more high end watches you have the less happy you become . When the times right I will sell pretty much everything higher end to a dealer and make a clean break . Maybe I will hold onto one higher end piece for the weekend and continue with my daily wears and in all honesty think I will be a whole lot happier ..
You've hit the nail on the head with very many points in there mate.... very recognisable issues indeed - especially eBay and the stressing about what to wear!
Don't consolidate, I have the same amount of watches and kept it at 6, its 1 in 1 out for now. Sold my Pelagos few mths back and just bought the new Breitling Superocean. I would suggest a GMT, maybe trade the DJ41 for a Black GMTc or top up for a Batman. Whatever you choose I suggest splitting your collection into 3 watches per month and keep the other 3 away to solve the watch choosing problem 😉 Odd Months = DJ41, SMP, Hamilton Even Months = Globemaster, OP, BB I do the same and by almost end of the month, I always find myself looking forward to swap out the other 3 watches 😁
@@donaldneo4317 I have all the Pelago and never noticed this (not that they are without their many faults). Picked up the new Breitling GMT the other day (which I quite like) and it had some crazy bezel alignment issues!!
@@watchandrew The GP loriato is pure class. I'm not one for buying watches to impress others so I would choose the loriato over rolex because it speaks to me personally.
If you’re keeping the Tudor and the Hamilton, I’d sell the DJ and the Seamaster and bring in the Speedmaster and then either the GP or Zenith. The Globemaster is my favorite in your collection and the OP is a fun piece while also being a Rolex to quench that thirst. But if you’re trying to get down to 4 pieces…?????
Then sell the DJ and Seamaster and go for the GP and some cash back in your pocket. Keep the Tudor, Hamilton, Globemaster, and OP. That gives you 5 total. If you’re not itching for a chronograph or a like a gmt, then you’re good. For awhile at least.
What a dilemma you have got for yourself Andrew Pmsl By your own admission the Hamilton & Tudor are both 100% Keepers ! The Omega Smp is a strap monster and looks Bang Tidy on the Nato Sarah got for your birthday so these would be my suggestion for the keepers. Don't be in any kind of a rush to sell whatever pieces you decide , but know what you want next first and foremost.
@@watchandrew Check out the video Peter Kosta made early last December Parting with watches you Love. My best advice would suggest for you at the moment. FFS don't pull your hair out on the matter.
I say keep the 300 professional. The other three can go. I like the Globemaster than two watches. I'm into wild watches like green and red dials, but purple and two tone datejust arent my things. You'll be out of Rolexes if you care about that.
Yeh it’s one of them ain’t it. I would keep your DJ 41 as I think you’ll miss that more and you can be a bit flash when needed. Keep the globe as it was a family thing and I think you’ll regret it, keep the Tudor of course. Sell the speed master and the Op for me & buy the wife a Rolex. You’ll get so much pleasure from doing that. A nice op 31 on the grey market or a ladies Datejust and you’ll have some change to maybe buy yourself another watch. The red dial ORIS big crown is amazing £1250 in the sale I saw yesterday. Cracking watch and it replaces your red dial OP. That’s what I would do in your shoes 👍
I've got a bronze Bremont in at the moment and I'm thinking of buying one., possibly but I've just been told by a guy with a bigger wrist than me that the lug to lug on the Supernova was too big for him 😕 and please don't use the word 'out of pocket' it's scares me 🤣
I think you are just looking for a reason to buy another watch. If you have 6 and want it down to 4 then just sell 2. Done. Why sell 3-4 and buy 2-3 it makes no sense. But then nothing in this hobby does so do whatever lol. The one o think you’d massively regret selling is the globemaster - mainly due to the personal connection with family on that one. Sell the seamaster and one of the Rolex and you have a cracking 4 watch collection.
@@watchandrew absolutely. Awake at night thinking about watches. It’s nuts. I e stuck to 5 and I just can’t go above it or I know my anxiety will Strike. I’d rather have the constant urge to buy than the anxiety of owning - that my secret! Well that and not being mad rich.
You have a phenomenal collection 👌🏽, don’t add or sell anything, step out of the hobby and get into dress shoes and boots or fountain pens 🤣 the more deep you get in this hobby the more you chop flip and regret. By the way GP is thrash, Omega Speedy 57, Speedy or Zenith is way better value, don’t make that mistake with GP.
Thanks Frank,, appreciate the comment, it's makes sense. I've thought about it a few times giving it all up and finding another hobby! Why you say the about GP? Might thinn collection and move on 👏
@@watchandrew Try to stay away for GP, Hublot and Bremont, these are brands that do have history but fell of over copying designs, particularly from AP, second, they depreciate value and are technically unsellable. Even if you enjoy watches to keep forever and not concerned of value or planing to sell how some people claim, you do want to feel good inside that your hard earned money as a consumer is well spent, and not cheated by a brand selling you a low value garbage at that price. People will argue that Gerald Gentra only designed AP Royal Oak, Nautilus and IWC Inginuer but not VC Overseas, and that VC gets a break fir copying. But lest be real a VC is more valuable than any GP regardless of what they do. Just concentrate on quality over quantity and you won’t regret.
@@watchandrew I just did it! Sold my Explorer II Black dial and my Sea-dweller 43 and a little 💰 did the deal with Watch Box! So happy and relaxed now, can’t stop looking at the watch A special time piece to celebrate my 50th
I don't understand - you started the vid saying you're interested in reducing the collection and striving towards being a one-watch person... you mention you don't like the "stress trap" of having to pick from multiple watches each morning and how you want to be more like "normal" people with one watch... the appeal of selling your watches and pocketing the money, etc. - then towards the end you're saying if you sell the DJ you'll need to immediately replace it with something of equal "haute" value. That to me sounds at odds with the entire first part of the video. If you're more worried about ticking the box of owning a "10K+ haute watch" then why sell the DJ. Thanks.
Fair comment,,,, I have made a video about the very small slight issues I'm having around the two tone Rolex,,, it's an amazing watch but the gold can be a bit showy in certain situations ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--USmrFglh48.html
