The Two Watch Collection: Christopher Beccan (Founder of Bexsonn) 

This guy should start a RU-vid channel. It’s nice to see representation from all walks of life in the community.

Chris raised a VERY GOOD POINT. I recently sent a Rolex Seadweller to Rolex for a service. It dates to 1992, so given that 'vintage' is thirty years or more it is just about vintage. The watch was in SUPERB all-original unpolished condition. The guy at Watches of Switzerland was amazed at how good the condition was (I am an experienced watch buyer; I buy only 'best of class'). WOS gave me an estimate of £950 for a 'full' service. After a couple of weeks, I received an email from WOS saying that after 'inspection' the bezel had some 'damage' and I would need to pay £95 for a replacement bezel. The bezel was in SUPERB condition for thirty years. I certainly DON'T want it changed! (or it will no longer be all-original condition). They also said that the crown had a slight dent. Hmmmmm..... I have owned this watch for a long time; the crown had no eye-visible dent. So they wanted to add these two 'repairs' to the original £950 quote. So what was the £950 for? Beware of Rolex.

Be careful with Rolex’s service center. I sent my father in law’s date just there to be serviced. He didn’t want it refinished at all and i made note of that in all caps on the invoice. I then receive a call a couple weeks later and it’s Rolex telling me they accidentally polished the case of watch. They did apologize and give me a very large discount on the full movement overhaul, but non the less, send your watches in with caution!

Buy what noone else is buying if you want to get value. I love how perfectly imperfect those vintage watches are. Real heavy hitters from the crown. The engine turned bezel on the 1601 DJ looks great. It’s in between flat and fluted Interesting but not flashy.

I love the way he says your Photography has been standard setting and Christopher just says “Yeah”. Love it. Great “collection”. I’m down to two, a discontinued Rolex op 114200 with the off white dial and a 34mm JLC MUT with the sapphire back and a cal 849 which is up there with Lange for decoration and detail. I’m really enjoying being down to 2. Great vid.

Awesome! Another great conversation that I enjoyed every bit of.

best one yet

Yesssss, Chris is such a talent, and seems like such a cool guy!

Beautiful watch collection ❤️

Love it

For me, a collection must have at least three watches. A "collection" is defined as "a group of things". A single watch is definitely not a group, two is debatable, for me it's a pair. If you have three or more, you can call it a collection. Callt it a two watch SELECTION.

Calling that Sub unpolished is a joke. The lugs are rounded, not sharp. Why would you feel the need to say “unpolished” when I assume you know better?

Excellent 2-watch collection considering W&W ‘23 just ended, and really puts into focus how far Rolex has fallen as a true enthusiast’s watch brand (thankfully they haven’t ruined Tudor yet)… 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Nice watches but too Rolex focus which mirrors most Rolex enthusiasts who are not always watch enthusiast, I like Rolex but there are far more interesting haute horology watches that tells a better story for me. Nice content, I really enjoyed it.

You can hardly call 2 watches a collection
