Watches are not considered a commodity because they are not standardized products that are interchangeable with each other. A commodity is a raw material or primary agricultural product that is traded based on its price and quality, rather than on any distinctive features. Watches, on the other hand, can have unique designs, features, and brand identities that differentiate them from one another, making them more akin to luxury goods than commodities. Furthermore, watches can have sentimental or personal value, further distinguishing them from commodities.
@@MarcoFerranteWatches Marco! Plz post more videos! I find myself checking your personal channel more than any other. Plz plz. I enjoy how you breakdown watches, brands and movements. All my friends think If it’s not a Rolex it’s garbage. Let’s change this. Plz do a video on watches under 5k Comparable to 10-11k Rolex’s ( retail.) Thank you Marco. Keep it up! You have made LB more enjoyable for us.
Love watching these one bit of constructive criticism. Don’t cut each other off as much it’s hard to follow. I know there is a lot to be said and not enough time to say it, but it makes the watching experience that much better when everything flows!
Thanks for the feedback! Hard for us to contain our excitement talking about this stuff but will definitely work on improving! Hope you enjoyed this 😁🙌
I tend to agree. Easily one of the most innovative watches of this last decade. Stay tuned, on Monday we have a Lange video I'm sure you'll really enjoy 😁🙌
Vc is so underrated, I think with the overseas I like it better than Patek and AP, 3 different strap that amazing case back. The watch is clean, classy, robust it does it all
@@bobmemer9062 I'd say probably a 7. It's definitely a luxurious product which requires slightly more care but has no problem holding up to the bumps and shocks of everyday wear 😁👍
@@MarcoFerranteWatches I like the Overseas because it's part of the holy trinity, prestigious, very lowkey, subtle watch, the caseback is amazing, different strap options, some unique / rare, you mean business. But I am concerned that if I do get one I might "baby it" because it is a luxury watch. I like the Submariner because of how durable and robust it is. With the reputation of Rolex and the Submariner I know it won't fail me in any condition. I can bang it around and know it will hold up, I don't know if I can say that about the Overseas. A couple things I don't like about the Submariner is that it is everywhere, and most copied watch, and tend to be the stereotype of "is it real". I feel like it is attached to the Submariner
I was missing JLC in the ‘holy 3’ discussion a lot. As IMHO JLC is at least as important as those three. The 101 is still the smallest calibre in the world. And some of their jewelry watches are really outstanding!
Great episode as always. Thanks and greetings from Germany! I love AP, PP and VC...owned an AP scuba limited edition and loved it. I also own a few Rolex models which I also love because of their wearability and reliability. Having said this I really think that A. Lange and Breguet deserve to be in the spotlight more often. I bought the Saxonia outsize date last year and am amazed by the quality and movement every time I look at it. I realise that most people are now into sport models but with production numbers of only 7000 pieces per year I don't understand how A. Lange is still selling under retail (except for the steel Odysseus of course)...
Small correction: ALL VC FiftySix have the Geneva Seal EXCEPT the Selfwinding. So the entire line is with seal and only one single model does not have it….just saying….
Only just discovered this recently myself. I think it's a bit of an unfortunate situation - most people probably feel (as I did) that the 56 range represents a step down in quality.
@@RandomPopcorn88 yes mostly VC does it to keep costs down as its meant to be accessible to a younger demographic. But the quality is still excellent despite not having a Geneva Seal and using a Cartier movement 😁👍
Speaking of using celebrity ambassadors, PP never had and never will pay famous people to endorse their brand. They also do not sponsor any major sporting events or sports teams. That’s how PP differentiate itself from RM and AP.
Haha I appreciate that! Tim is an important figure in the industry and has done so much for watches. I think the comparison is justified but hopefully someday soon. Thanks so much for the kind words regardless 😁🙌
@@MarcoFerranteWatches It is, man thank. Picked up a Cermit last month from my AD so life is good! Very fortunate. Just want to say you seem to be doing a great job at LB. Your knowledge shining through. Ignore the haters. Ps. Miss your UA-cam streams of old.
@@KeepingWatchUK I appreciate that, thanks very much! I do miss the old streams from time to time too haha. Congratulations and enjoy the your Cermit in good health!! 🙏
In fairness we did briefly talk about Journe but this was mainly focused on the Swiss Holy Trinity ie Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin 😁👍
The good thing about hyped watches from the holy trinity is that we know everything there's to know about them, sad part with all this is that lots of more interesting watches get lost in the sauce.
@@MarcoFerranteWatches I like wearing old (or new) stuff nobody knows about like Angelus, Paul Picot, Muhle Glasshüte etc they have interesting stories but yet they're practically unknown especially to the new collectors ...
People are confusing this stabilizing period as an inflection point to the upside but that’s far form true. It’s very unfortunate but this little bounce back is the economy requieres a tighter monetary policy, much more people need to loose their job to get back to our 2% inflation target
Roman really sets the standard in educational watch chanel! Business in general! Keep up the great content and pour Marco, félicitations mon gars! Montréal est fière de toi!
Marco has atleast a 35 yr old mind frame with a vast variety of information as if hes been their before himself lived it and experienced every bit of the industries growing pains
Mr. Roman I just had to congratulate you on another great video you are awesome and truly are my hero you helped out and give to so many people I hope God truly blessed you and your family and never missed an episode I probably watched every season 25 times I am your biggest fan keep doing what you're doing I will be praying for you and your family I can't wait to see the new videos I have literally had your shows on for 3 days straight without changing the channel Adrian you are so awesome 😎 and there is not too many people that I look up to admire and respect more than you Roman keep doing what you do God bless you
Yes yes yes, this was a absolute pleasure to watch. The " Holy Trinity" of watch brands. This video was much more than I was expecting, I learned alot more about my 3 favorite brands, don't get me wrong as I do love Rolex as well. But these 3 brands are definitely the most important in watch making. If I could afford it, I would buy 1 specific watch from each of the 3 brands and I would be done! I guess I'll just have to win the lottery, lol. But seriously, Roman you and Marco put out an outstanding video today. Thank you!! 🙏 😍 🔥
It's sad how Rolex gets left out of the holy trinity. It is the Bitcoin of the watch market today. It was the brand that bought everything else the hype..
Rolex is not part of the Swiss Holy Trinity and I think it makes sense. The point of the Trinity is to have 3 brands that are symbols for the best in Swiss Watchmaking and uphold traditional watchmaking values of old 😁👍
The, so called "Holy Trinity" specimens are Crappy, Boring looking watches imo anyways! Hell! Christopher Ward's Bel Canto for under 10K or H Mosers are far better, looking watches than an entry level Oak.
Rolex will never be apart of the Holy Trinity of Swiss watches. Rolex is without a doubt the best marketer of there brand, but AP, VC & Patek will the the higher tier of Swiss watches. Plus those 3 brands are literally next to each other in Switzerland... Rolex is across town

"A commodity is a basic good used in commerce that is interchangeable with other goods of the same type" - can easily tie watches to this definition 👍
@@MarcoFerranteWatches i respect your watch knowledge but watch cannot be commodity since it cannot be consumed during production process.
Marco KILLLED this!!! Amazing

Roman keeps on interjecting even if Marco is not yet done speaking. I prefer Marco’s analysis, insight and behavior.
Marco brings out the best of Roman, one of the best episodes all time.
Awesome to hear this! Thank you so much 😁🙌
Lange's zeitwerk is maybe the most incredible watch innovation of the last decade. Just wish Lange were thinner.
I tend to agree. Easily one of the most innovative watches of this last decade. Stay tuned, on Monday we have a Lange video I'm sure you'll really enjoy 😁🙌
Great video as always. At what percentage decrease or increase do you consider stable?
Thanks so much! I'd say an average fluctuation of +/- 5% is stable especially right now where things can be a little all over the place 😁🙌
Vc is so underrated, I think with the overseas I like it better than Patek and AP, 3 different strap that amazing case back. The watch is clean, classy, robust it does it all
I totally agree! The Overseas is personally my favorite sports piece also 😍🔥
@@MarcoFerranteWatches yupp, how robust / durable would you say it is on a scale from 1-10? 1 being not at all and 10 being rolex submariner level

Marco, Roman, and Adrien are the holy trinity of watch content

Jlc is good but the movement finishing isn't quite up there with ALS, PP, VC

Lange and Breguet most definitely deserve to be up there than AP
I think they referred to the Swiss holy trinity in the video. Lange is German and Breguet is French.
Another great episode, Marco is taking it to the next level
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it 😁🙌

No mention of F.P. Journe??
They spoke about Journe in the beginning. But the independents are not part of the holy trinity. They are one or two levels above PP, VC and AP.
In fairness we did briefly talk about Journe but this was mainly focused on the Swiss Holy Trinity ie Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin 😁👍
@@koolpep Correct although one to two levels about the Trinity is debatable haha 😜🙌
The good thing about hyped watches from the holy trinity is that we know everything there's to know about them, sad part with all this is that lots of more interesting watches get lost in the sauce.
That's fair although to be fair there is so much to be learned about the Holy Trinity. They are 3 brands with deep rooted history 😁🙌
