    I’m a sub date black dial, oyster bracelet, so the non date is a watch guy who is under the radar, so what does that make me haha. I’m def a watch guy, I am in sales which is a little cliche as a sub date is linked to sales guys I hear, I wanted it since I was 21 and at 40 after many years of a variation of watches, I finally got my dream piece. I like the date function because of needing to know the date on a daily basis. I am a watch guy, perhaps at times yeah I don’t mind being above the radar with that cyclops!

I have bought from AD’s since the mid 90’s but the only way I could get a Steel Daytona was going to the grey market, it was always my grail watch and will be with me forever, thank you Carlsberg the vids are a Sunday treat 👍🏻❤️

    Chaz! Your customers want subtle? Stealthy? Understated? Not in my experience. They want a watch that everyone can identify. It's about shouting from the rooftops, "I earnt ten thousand pounds last year, and I spent it on a beautiful shiny watch. Are you jealous of my fantastic success?"

      @@trinitythoughts have you seen the price of the Rolex Certified Pre-owned watches?
      I've bought many watches from my AD, and I've bought many from one secondary dealer, I know and trust, I've got nothing but good things to say.
      Some, I've paid a premium to have watches today, a couple were under rrp from the secondary dealer. I'm not trying to squeeze an investment out of the watches, although in my 22/23 years buying, I'm up, way up in investment terms! I'm 41, when I started I bought my first Rolex submariner for half price from a secondary market dealer, I was young then, without pots of cash. It made sense to buy the cheapest I could find, it was second hand from Hong Kong via a pawn shop in Miami, my mates uncle owned the shop in Miami and I trusted him. Watch and papers, no box. Sub ref 14060m. Still my favourite watch.
      Both channels offer different benefits.
      Secondary dealers prices move with market forces, an example, I have a white gold sub, I love it. I bought it from my AD in 2021 for 33k, it's now listed by Rolex for 37k, I can buy it from the secondary market for 28k. Where is the better deal? You might say the secondary market, you're not wrong, but from another perspective you're not right.
      I've been offered other watches off the back of that Sub, exclusive watches that have increased in value x3, x4 x5 times. So, I've lost a few grand, you should see it, I've worn the he'll out of that sub, it's scratched and marked,
      From the secondary, I bought a platinum Daytona for 30k in 2016, it's worth 75k today. I have bought Pateks that to get from the AD, I have to buy 2 grand complications, in other words around 200-250k, those watches the AD want to sell me lose 30-40%. I've jumped the Patek queue by stumping up the cash, not jumped throughly hoops, and not bought grand comps, that don't want enough to buy in order to get the pieces I do.
      I think your perspective is not right of secondary market dealers. They are there to make a margin, that's their business and they provide a service. There will always be people that need to sell, thankfully I've only ever bought, I'm fortunate. But you are right, there will be rotten apple dealers, but that's the same in every industry.
      I remember when the internet started, my mum wouldn't buy anything as she thought someone would take all her money and not provide the good or service. She was wrong about the internet, it's done alright for commerce, or so I've heard. When you mention buying the safest way, you sound a bit like my mum at the dawn of the internet.
      If you do your research, or you are recommended dealers by people you trust. I've found them to be great if you are serious about the watch hobby, they can be tremendous to build collections.
      Sorry for the long message, if you've read this far, I have many experiences with ad's and secondary market dealers. Terrible experiences with AD's, probably more than the other way around.
      But... first things first, or last things last. AD's and secondary market dealers, they're both middlemen.

Of course it could happen by accident occasionally but he wouldn’t have much of a business if he didn’t have the ability to recognise fakes given he has to pay for them first and take the risk and if he can’t tell it’s a fake and it slips you’ll probably never know either. As for selling stolen watches then again absolutely not worth it.
