Imagine buying a previous metal watch so that you can buy the poor mans stainless steel version that you have always dreamt about. Its like going to a Porsche dealer and buying a 911 Turbo so you can buy a Cayman.
With many full gold pieces being available in the AD window now, it would be good to see a comparison video. E.g. there's lots of pieces around £35k (full gold Submariner, Day-Date, GMT Master II Zombie etc) so would be good to get a comparison of them all as well as the difference in prices that the grey market dealers such as yourselves sell them for. Thanks.
Interesting look from a trader's point of view. Picked up a blue dial OP from an AD recently. For the first time since I have been dealing with him (over ten years) he admitted that trading was tough at the moment. Made me wonder how other brands are selling on the high street.
@@Thevoiceofreason84 Goldsmiths uk ,all I bought previously was a Tudor Root Beer and a solid bracelet for my Tudor North Flag, which was £800😮 lucky enough to get the Tudor Flag in an AD in Tenerife, they had one left in another showroom, new old stock so to speak
It’s funny that the GMT Pepsi in White Gold is virtually impossible to get from an AD but most grey market dealers don’t stock them because they are bad sellers 😂
@@Madeinlondon67 not sure if it's bad sellers, but rather scarcity .... At any given time, the world supply for sale is 2 dozen, maybe 3 dozen.. Contrast that with other GMT's which could have thousands...
Omega has Rolex beat in accuracy, why not power reserve? It seems the 10 year-old 8800 & 8900 movements should have a power reserve of at least 75 to 85 hours, no?
@@_Desma here in the uk they classed it as a ‘boutique’ piece which meant you had to have a massive spend history on their other gaudy watches, not anymore it seems, I’ve been on the list about 2 years, really love it but just can’t justify the spend at the mo especially as you can get the other colours much cheaper on the grey market the blue is dropping as well though the 2023 and 24 models not so much
I always wonder why watchtrader have so many watches without paperwork. I understand older models when there was only paper but even models that had the white card.
@@Watchtrader I will say the ones that I’ve searched. Which is I’m sure a very small fraction of your overall inventory. Not a knock was just curious. Sub Mariners, GMT, Vacheron overseas self wind. They fetched a great price nonetheless.
Watch out for the Halloween budget from our Labour government that’s is going to squeeze the Rolex buyer pockets ! Let’s face it it is not the uber rich who buy Rolex…..it’s the aspirational hard workers with a bit of dough to flex, no shame in that….but the market will go into free fall very soon.
The beginning of this was so cringe, false and sickly I had to stop watching. I've been a regular viewer for 18 months and genuinely feel whoever watched this episode would raise an eyebrow.
We’d love to hear some constructive feedback from a regular viewer like yourself because I’m quite surprised to read your comment. The start of this video is a similar ‘coming up/trailer’ format that we usually use. Thank you

These companies are lol on these ppl’s faces…how can someone consider to pay way more for a plastic strap than a gold bracelet? 🤔 really D U M B
You can’t lose buying watches if you buy what you like and don’t pretend to be a watch dealer, great chat.
Wise words, cheers Andy
Yes
Rootbeer full gold everrose under 30K is a great value in my opinion.

Appreciate the suggestion, we’ve made note 👌
@@Watchtrader Thanks!
Just rocking a Patek Phillipe worldtimer
I was in London last week, cookie monster available but who wants to buy that at AD price. Same condition outside is 30% cheaper
Great content keep it up
Thanks for letting us know!

Refreshingly honest... no BS. Good work!
Thanks for letting us know
Its can't be that long before the full gold pieces start to get a discount at the Ads, just like not so long ago.
Absolutely bang on with the meteor dial GMT 👌
What a watch it is
I enquired about an explorer 40 yesterday at an AD and was told " be prepared to wait 12 months, but it could arrive next week "
Explorer 40 are easy to acquire in U.S.
Got offered one at an AD this week in London. Always worth asking.
Are you ready to buy it now?
They are just hyping it up to make it look it's hard to get.
I was able to get one last year, been trying for another but I’m sick and tired of kissing ass for a watch. I’m over it.
Got a Root Beer from AD in Dec expect a Bruce Wayne this year
How much spend history ? Which AD (not branch )

still can't walk in and buy many Rolex watches ... even some gold models... ever try to buy a GMT Meteorite dial Pepsi?

Qu for Stu, I got offered the Overseas blue from the AD , I declined but I’ve heard that there is zero interest for this on the secondary market?
There’s a 1 year wait I was told for blue dial Vacheron self winding from AD in Chicago.

Stuart needs to stop interrupting and try to waffle less.
Great stuff 'H'. We should be organizing a trip up to the toon soon, so hopefully we can meet up for a quiet few! ;-)
Appreciate it Greg, that would be nice! Give me a heads up, when it’s in the calendar.
Love the chat, but looking for the "deal of the week, deal of the week, deal of the week!" Oh, and Hendo too!
Appreciate the feedback. More of the usual stuff to come soon
Enjoyable video guy's
'steathy' meteorite GMT.

Nearly all of our stock has paperwork. Where is it that you get that impression from?

If the market goes in to free fall then it's better for the aspirational hard workers as they'll be able to get them under retail... I.e cheaper
@@RichMitchit’s insane they have been above retail. It’s good the price is dropping
@@brettarmer3584 absolutely
So there stuck with load of over priced Tick Tocks!
How the heck ppl pay more for a watch with a rubber strap than one with precious metal bracelet ?? SMH Unbelievable how easy ppl get brainwashed !!
I am so-o-o sick of hearing about the Rolex Pepsi. How hard would it be to make a Rolex video without specifically mentioning it? Impossible?
Lol

Nothing new to glean from this thread.
Market is softer but there are still some Rolex timepieces that go for a premium
