    For me it’s style over substance, cost plays a part, and not the brand’s highlighted here, as I’m not after high-end watches, unusual unknown brands, one was my 34mm Marrel - FHF 70 - Ancre 15 Rubis - Production Period: Unknown, probably around 1957, it’s gold plated, manual wound, black sub dial, certainly a cut above the rest of these UA-cam videos.

    You got the call because with how the UK is right now 90% of the customers who live on cheap credit have been wiped out by interest rates... Porsche gave me the same thing for a GT3... funny how people who can afford it now get calls... I'd have bought another brand company like Rolex should struggle now.

    I don't understand how there are so many watches in one shop, how did they acquire so many? Obviously it was over many years as I think the grandad started the buying and selling so they got them very cheap and now they are worth a lot lot more!! His book which I have a copy is more like a picture/photo book. His shop is like a museum of vintage Rolexes rather than a shop.

    Rolex might be in a league of its own when it comes to marketing and resale value but Breitling produces the best-looking and best-finished watches in this class. Omegas are classics but in my opinion they look rather dated - their designs just don't have the timeless appeal of the Navitimer or the Daytona.

    I was given a copy of Mr Silvers Rolex book . However for some reason there are no Rolex Watch model nos listed beside the watch pictures, so that makes the whole book a waste of what could have been a wonderful reference book. I have collected Rolex watches for over 50 years and have found that so called experts, if shown a vintage say Rolex Submariner would all give different opinions ie wrong hands, not original face, changed bezel etc these original watches were made as ‘tool’ watches ie for divers or workers who needed a robust, waterproof watch. They were assembled by different watch makers and were therefore sometimes quite individual. For example the model 6536 Submariner was probably the most diverse model you could get. There were so many variations, no one knows how many varieties, so even the so called experts are not aware of the differences.
