I agree entirely. CNN had a great article pointing out that for every McDonalds or Disney that had sharp downturns, there was a Chipotle or Texas Roadhouse that had a spike in sales. What's happening is that those companies that took advantage of the Covid spending spree by raising prices are now hurting because that was always going to correct. Consumers have now taken those vacations and spent down their pent-up consumption and they're now reevaluating their spending. In other words, things have returned to normal and we're basically back to 2019.
As a watch collector, I look forward to a recession and stock market collapse like in 2008, since watch prices will collapse and will be a great buying opportunity.
Is that you, Marc Frankel? I just found out he's hellbent on getting that beauty, too - he's actually got me wanting one now. I'm also all about the smooth bezel and baguette indices - gorgeous and, at over 220 grams, it's the absolute FU heavyweight of our dorky world.
@@dblh84 not sure Id call it stealth wealth as it really blings but clearly not as flashy as yellow gold. I am drooling over the ice blue motif one, would be the perfect combo with my chocolate motif rose gold
Loved this one lol … look forward to your clips, wished I was in the US … your deals are great, but the shipping and import into Australia 🇦🇺 along with the exchange rate has me pausing on clicking buy soooo many times 😢 … you have some great inventory rolling through sigh 😔
What are your thoughts on Christopher Ward? Theyve come out recently with watches that look very very nice and the price point is very attractive. The Twelve X is truly amazing!
Is it? Isn't the skeletization a bit bad looking? Or maybe it's just me. I do love their watches though. Currently have like 10 watches from them and am waiting for the 4 ice cream watches
I like CW far more than Bremont and those minimalist quartz watch brands created by Millenials like MVMT. Those are all made in the same Chinese factory, only the branding is different. Just like mattresses that come in boxes. Avocado, Saatva, Purple, Casper, etc. All made in the same factory in China and drop-shipped to the US customer. But their ads are sleek and Americans, for the most part, are suckers for ads targeting "sophisticated" buyers. We recently bought a mattress from Mattress Firm and the sales manager told us how these worked.
Can you source a white gold Pepsi with meteorite dial? The manager for our Rolex AD (Ben Bridge) promised to sell me one but even she couldn't get one (several years ago), so I got an Aquanaut.
Fed, I’m an economist. Likely a recession yes. Does it impact the watch market? 100%. Watch sales/market over the past cycles have always been a leading indicator of issues in the economy. The watch market has this huge problem today, and even worse issues with “the race to the middle” in the entire watch industry.
Hi Fed, in one of the answers you mentioned non Fifty Fathoms Blancpain vintage 1990’s - early 2000’s. Would you please mention a few , models , serial numbers, etc. I like the photo of the white dial on the brown strap shown within. What model & reference is it? Thanks so much & wising you a great weekend.
Great answer with the F U question but I have a problem with the question. You should be buying a watch that you love and not one that’s going to be impressing others
Another BP option is the Leman, I have the flyback chronograph. Also, I picked up a Zenith Elite Port Royal V a few years back. Aside from the $700 overall cost (ouch!), it's a great piece.
Not that this would affect you either way howver, I now have a deep respect for you Federico, and I will seriously be looking out for a timepiece from your shop...
My guess: The Invicta Bros had enough of his bullying, forced him to wear a 120mm watch, and the watch case cut into his hand while his hand was on the steering wheel.
Democrat in office during strong economy...Corporate media: WHEN IS THE RECESSION COMING??? Republican in office during actual recession as in 2020...Corporate media: crickets Pretty easy to see what's going on.
@@TheTruth-69 Since Biden fixed your boy's messes the US has had the strongest economy in the world. If you were interested in truth you could google it but you won't so I will: "The New York Times reported in February 2021 that: "Since 1933, the economy has grown at an annual average rate of 4.6 percent under Democratic presidents and 2.4 percent under Republicans..." And it has continued to get better ever since. For the first time in 30+ years the US economy is growing faster than China. Lowest unemployment in 60 years...JOBS!!!!!!!!!!MFER...But you're not interested in facts. Cultists never are...Blocked because cult member.
@@user-iz9co4qf6zClinton and Obama had strong economies. JFK also. Truman before that. Presidents have a relatively little to do with the health of economies. Policies they sign into law take years to show effect. The Federal Reserve can have a lot more immediate affect since they control interest rates and money supply through their bond buying. If you don't understand what I'm saying, please stop talking about politics.
Black isn't a colour. Its absorbs 99.965% of photons that hits the vanta black surface therefore you could argue you never actually truly see the dial ever 🖤
@@food2430 Vanta absorbs 99.965% of light that hits it and translates it into internal molecular energy that is lost through molecular collisions. When you look at Vanta you actually don't see it as so little photons are reflected off it.
Just bought an Omega from Delray, got it yesterday, great experience will be buying from you guys again. Thanks Fed!
🎉We have nice watches.
Fed. Always entertaining. Always educational. Always enjoyable! 😁

My FU watch choice would be a patek Philippe 5055!
Best F you watch imo is the day date 41, platinum/ice blue if you can afford
That is a good choice….
NICE CHOICE 👌 I go with a full gold Rolex GMT on Jubilee from the early 80s

Also, it's low key and stealth wealth - very apropos in this dangerous world.

I like the watch I got from amzwatch. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.

This dude had already said he isnt wearing a CW, but they are good value.
The recently released white dial gmt is very nice.

Great video Fed
Spot on about Blancpain...... and most other things!

Yup. It’s like the first to fall are the luxury items followed by cars then homes etc.
great ep fed
One of the best watch channels.
Hey Fed, totally agree Blancpain dress watches are great value. Quality + depreciation = collector bargains! All the best, Ed
If the fed drops interest rates is a sign the economy is not good and needs relief
Thanks for answering my question Fed!
Fed, thanks for the honest and my opinion as an economist, fair appraisal of the economy. I find rubber bands hot in the summer.
@@jameskiehm546 What about the massive layoffs in tech and trucking?

That's a ref 5495 perpetual calendar in platinum, hard to source though
“Where colour goes to die” 😆 Just wonderful, Moser should use that one, after giving you one as a thank you of course.
can someone please tell me the name of that red leather wristband?
Great answer with the F U question but I have a problem with the question. You should be buying a watch that you love and not one that’s going to be impressing others
True but sometimes they are necessary. Just 1 is enough.
@@mrparkx2agreed

Please the new Omega Seamaster and also about your wishes for a new and updated Seamaster
F P Journe would be my FU watch brand.
I don't play the lottery, but I'll admit that becoming Master Of The Universe does sound intriguing.
Just like He-man!!!
the best F-U watch? A Casio F-91W.
Or… a solid gold AP Royal oak 😂
@@beerkegaard
Nope. AP remaster 2
Bonus points of the F-91W is also a detonator
Nope Ebel 1911 full gold with the Zenith El primero. Worn by Don Johnson in Miami Vice aka "The Crockett"
If you have a good relationship with your Invicta AD, any of them will do.
The Darkness Brothers. See, this is long before Wesley Snipes
Watching from Globen, Stockholm, vacation day 15/37.
Federico great advice always.
Well said Feds - always buy something you like!! Ignore all hype and overpriced rubbish!
What happened to Fred’s hands?
Hi
Shoots fire 😂😂
Not that this would affect you either way howver, I now have a deep respect for you Federico, and I will seriously be looking out for a timepiece from your shop...
I am a fan and watch every episode. But, what’s with the scars on your hands? Cultural? Religious?
My guess: The Invicta Bros had enough of his bullying, forced him to wear a 120mm watch, and the watch case cut into his hand while his hand was on the steering wheel.
LOL “some UA-cam channel yelling Mazal”
Hehehe I caught that
Chrome Hearts Rolex! Mazal! JK
😂😂😂
Those recession dudes talk about a recession like they want it to happen
Cutting interest rates while real inflation is still 10-20% is insane. Let me guess you think inflation is only 3% as you are told by your betters?
It'll happen, one day and they will let you know they said is was coming.
They want republicans to win. All upper class fascists do.
@@Doggo-frencton Those are made-up numbers outta your azz. Put the tinfoil hat back on...your betters can hear the echo between your ears.
I want houses to be affordable so whatever makes that happen I am rooting for.
Shouting mazal ahahahahahahaha
FREE MY BOY MOSES HE AINT DO SHIT!!! lol
God!!! amzwatch Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!
Best “luxury value” watch. Lol. It’s an oxymoron. Like saying jumbo shrimp.
