I would personally get rid of the all black OP since its redundant with the Explorer 1, as well as the two tone DJ. Feel with the all gold daydate you can do without a two tone. I think the Wimbleton is different and can ride a lane of its own. Awesome video
I am feeling like the two-tone DJ is not needed since I already the full gold DD. I like the jubilee of the Wimbledon (that is only 1 or 2 jubilee in my entire collection). The OP is a little sentimental. It may make sense to let it go, but I will not make much money with it in any case. The TT DJ makes more sense to sell first.
Hey Buddy. Enjoyed watching the video. I see you skip leg day like myself, lol, maybe soon we can meet up and see who has thinner legs Lol..assuming that guy that was filmed in gym was you. Lol😂 AP house in all countries it seems may well have discrete "labyrinth 1986" like entrances...I too found it hard to see where to enter. I guess the 2 tone Datejust and black dial OP? would be sensible to chop for the patek to help from that box?. When I lasted commented about patek, I suggested 5226 or 6119 white to you. What are you thinking you might be offered or want to get?
Can't have much skinnier calfs than mine. (if so, I would be impressed) At AP House, I needed to check in with the two door people, then be guided down a dark black narrow corridor, then up in a tiny elevator with a different person, then finally met my sales person. But the actual space upstairs was incredible, very elegant. Custom designed space and furniture. Coffee bar. Outside patio space for events. They had two walls of display pieces, but did not even have all the colors in the Royal Oak. Probably TT DJ will need to go. It would be a shame to let go of the OP. You guessed correctly about my next Patek (or extremely close). I am picking up one of them tomorrow. I'll make a video on it.
Yeah. Your right. I was just being kind lol. But I do have chicken legs relatively. Rose gold 6119 then I guess? Anyways, i look forward to the vid boss. The secondary market prices on these things are not much over retail now. Especially on the 5226 and 6119. Unless you are honestly wanting a sports model ultimately at the expense of buying a few of these dress ones to get there, it may now actually be more cost effective just to buy a sports one from the grey. How crazy is that right? Lol It's good to see you have branched out of Rolex with the omega and patek. Apart from AP, any other brands You would seriously buy?
@@RigGeo Very very close, but no cigar. I just can't give you credit for guessing exactly correct yet. I don't care (much) about about secondary market prices, as long as I don't lose 40-50% value. I will buy whatever I like the best, in terms of design and aesthetics. I love the tradition, attention to detail, finishing, and hand-made portions from Patek. But I will not go grey ever again. I do want some kind of Nautilus eventually, but I'm not willing to buy just anything from the AD to puff up my spend history in order to get a Nautilus. I will need to genuinely enjoy anything I buy. If I don't get allocated the Nautilus, that's ok. With AP, I won't buy anything else except the 37mm Royal Oak. If I don't get the call, then that's ok too. No other brands really interest me (at this time).
If you don't have genetically normal or large calves do daily calf work. Meaning banging weighless calf raises out throughout the day. Preferably full range of motion on the edges of stair steps for example. This will add some size to them.
Well to be fair, I’d I saw a man wearing a yellow gold Day-Date in New York City, I’d stay out of his way. Otherwise, I’d probably wind up in the trunk of someone’s Cadillac. Same logic applies for men wearing black suits with black sunglasses in Tokyo.
Very well. We are honest, LEGITIMATE business people... Participating in the American ecosystem, just as we are all. Thank you. 😉 I hope you do not continue to attract out further attention... 😎
Really inspirational video. Always enjoy your travel videos and especially combined with a visit to a watch boutique. Hope the AP comes within a year and anxiously waiting to hear more about Patek.
@@sc1 Its genuinely upsetting what has become of those places. I remember bags and wallets getting stolen in Barcelona was already a thing 20 years ago, but recently things have definitely gotten worse. On a lighter note, great videos as always!!!
A threat with a machete in NYC seems unimaginable to me, but I could always be wrong. NYC is only 7-10 days of visit per year for me, and the rest of the time is in small town America. A place where no one notices your watch.
Try LONDON - thousand of robberies a year of high value items - at least 2 ROLEX related murders. The best place to be robbed are tube stations and other places with high pedestrian density.
Awesome episode, love the sightseeing and your daily routine. A trip to Europe would be exciting to see on your channel. One of the best watch channels here :)
Fun video. John’s is not NY style - it’s American-Neapolitan. I’d recommend the bar at the Baccarat Hotel to run into watch enthusiasts. Even some of the servers are into Rolex, Panerai. The bartender mentioned some business people come in with million dollar watches. And visitors bringing a different watch to wear per day of their visit.
I asked to see him, but he only visits this store infrequently. But we talked Patek and suits for about an hour. I mentioned I won the lottery for Naoya Hida, but I turned it down in the end. I actually wanted to see Allan See. He is very stylish. Looks very tall (but is actually only about 5'4'") One time, an asian customer was trying on a suit, and another customer came in. He got extremely excited and mistook him for Mark Cho!
Bro I never wear my steel SE submariner won't do it In NYC or jersey. Bro if I wear my 18k chain which is bold but not bulky, I feel everybody is starring at me. NJ/NY has alot of homeless lately and you might be lucky for couple of days but not everyday
Was told there was a bottleneck for gold pieces but now they’re flowing through. I think gold is something you’re drawn to as you get older. Also when you’re younger you have more important things to spend your money on. My yellow gold day date is a safe queen. Sad but that’s the world right now.
Really enjoy your travel vlogs thanks for the effort you put in to them interesting to see what pieces you let go I myself have recently let a couple go
Goodbye, my TT RG DJ, it was nice to wear you. You're served me well, but I need to limit my collection. My TT Daytona can now take over for you. Dear 36mm OP Black dial, you are on the fence. I earned you from the AD, but you are overlapping too much with my current version Explorer 36mm. You are the next to go.
I choose not to live in fear of the wrong-doerings. I would rather enjoy wearing my hard-earned watch, but, at the same time, to not bring undo attention to my wrist. I think the USA (especially small towns) is a very different situation than central London.
I own a day date rose gold olive green dial, very safe to wear through NYC. Most people are concerned with your shoes not wrist watches lol
I have received many mixed opinions. The places I visited were safe.

As of now 2024, I have gotten rid of the black OP 36, TT DJ, and the Wimbledon. I guess you were right.
But I still have this Explorer 36.

Union Square could’ve been problematic today.
Ooh, I see it on google.
I doubt it honestly, as a New Yorker I can almost guarantee they are more worried about drugs and police in union square then stealing a watch.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I am not any part of the Yakuza.
I am just a regular older guy trying to enjoy a sight-seeing trip to NYC.

Thanks. (Taking your advice) and I will be posting more Patek very soon!
I just posted my latest NYC travel video. AP is unfortunately still out of reach. But Patek is looking promising...
Don’t wear it in my home town of London, unless you want to be threatened with a machete.
Its shocking what has become of London, though I must say I wouldn't have worn a Rolex there ten or even twenty years ago either.
My AD confirmed that it is very BAD in London, Paris, and Spain. He felt ok traveling in Brazil.
And he felt it was much safer in the USA.

I am not planning on visiting London anytime soon. Sounds very bad.
Very sad to hear of these vicious crimes.
Was great to meet you and talk watches and life for a bit! Safe travels, and hope to see you next time you’re in town.
Thanks again for reaching out. It was a very enjoyable, unmissable experience.
I was just briefly in NYC last weekend. ua-cam.com/video/zB-2wyfwUPI/v-deo.html
I will try to stay longer sometime this August.
Looking forward to seeing you again this year.

I did some more sightseeing in NYC last weekend. ua-cam.com/video/zB-2wyfwUPI/v-deo.html
Thanks very interesting video..glad you took along a couple of minders though..👀
You bet, no worries though.
It was great to re-visit NYC last weekend: ua-cam.com/video/zB-2wyfwUPI/v-deo.html

Thanks. As you can see, I am no pizza expert, but I will keep in mind your suggestion for the next time I am in town!
did you see Mark Cho at the armoury? huge watch guy
I asked to see him, but he only visits this store infrequently. But we talked Patek and suits for about an hour. I mentioned I won the lottery for Naoya Hida, but I turned it down in the end.

Everything was difficult back in 2020-2021. Things are easier now at the current moment. Hopefully I'll keep wearing my date-date into old age.
I would remove the OP and two tone Datejust. The Wimbledon is such a nice piece and suits your lifestyle.
The black dial OP, TT DJ, and Wimbledon have now left me. I still have my neo vintage (sentimental) white dial DJ, YG DD 36, and Exp 36.
Really enjoy your travel vlogs thanks for the effort you put in to them interesting to see what pieces you let go I myself have recently let a couple go
Awesome, thank you! I hope none of your big hitters are gone.
My latest travel log just posted, but not watch-centric. I am keeping my watch collection tight, and balanced out with my camera gear...
Very nice episode 👏
try wearing it in barcelona next
can't do it. that's too far.
dream watch
Say goodbye to the OP and TT DJ.
Goodbye, my TT RG DJ, it was nice to wear you. You're served me well, but I need to limit my collection. My TT Daytona can now take over for you.
Dear 36mm OP Black dial, you are on the fence. I earned you from the AD, but you are overlapping too much with my current version Explorer 36mm. You are the next to go.
Both of them have now left me, long ago.
I am in the West Village and also a watch nerd. Let me know when you come to town - at the very least I will give you some food recommendations.
West Village is sweet.
Please send me your email address: sc1onytchannel@gmail.com
l can try to come back next week if possible.
Give it to me. I’m coming back on July 26-29. Meet up with me, or at least tell me where to eat.
Keep the Wimbledon DJ.
I’ll try to. but i need rid get rid of something…
hey bro i go to brooklyn this year is it save there? :D i also want to go out at night :D
Brooklyn is safe, yes.
And what about the subways? Sorry for asking again, i am just exited and dont want to get robbed, when we visit nyc this year haha
@@watchmanplain5780 Yes, subway is safe when there are a lot of people around. I’m not so sure about 3am.
It’s safe everywhere in the world because they will think it for fake abayt 20 bucks 😅😅😅
Next up try California 🤣🤣
I lived in San Diego for a few years Seemed pretty safe to me.
Why put yourself in harms way? You'd be lucky to have it after 30 mins in Central London!!!!
I choose not to live in fear of the wrong-doerings. I would rather enjoy wearing my hard-earned watch, but, at the same time, to not bring undo attention to my wrist.
I think the USA (especially small towns) is a very different situation than central London.

Many thanks!

Well on a long enough basis statistics would change mate.
Yeah. I only did it for one day. I might get buggered if I chanced it for a few more days.
i would think so tbh. i am in NYC now and would only wear Seikos at most@@sc1
