A few years on, we have plenty of chances now to pick up Tudors that we might've missed... Unreal how the watch landscape has changed in the span of about 24 months, right? Are there any pieces out there that you've had your eyes on? 🥃
Absolutely Mr Guy: I'm waiting for the Pro in the 58 case and with the METAS movement. It can only be a matter of time: all the components are there, and ditching the existing Pro case will be a cost effective measure...
@@robertlock6041thinner cases, slightly smaller diameters… it’s going to happen across the brand. I think many makers are going to have to dig deep in their creative buckets over the coming years 😉🥃
Just bought my dream watch the P01, under 2k€ great cond with everything included. Can't believe After 5yrs of dreaming about it, I can now look at it at will on my wrist.
Dude, prices went crazy on all watches includes rolex, come to asia and check, its 20% more lower than chrono or anywhere online. and tudor now can get for 1500 US easy, LOL
Only watch I took away with me for 2 weeks in the sea AND the FXD never disappoints. The “stuck on an island watch” for me? I’d choose the FXD any day. Says a lot 😉 Well said!
So glad the Tudor's that I have in my collection were bought as Lifer's & NOT to be swapped out every year for the latest toy. Always bought new from Ad & never paid full retail. Think this is Post Covid Hype correction and will be seen over many brands.
Four months ago I bought through eBay's authenticity guarantee program an immaculate, used 2024 Heritage 41 Burgundy on Tudor's not-Jubilee bracelet for $1,350 below the MRP. Insane!
I have a MN FXD and am hoping to pick up a Pelagos 39 early next year. I’ve been keeping an eye on prices and second hand P39 prices are approaching $3k, I even saw one recently not too beat up for $2900. A great time to be a used Tudor enthusiast
The FXD is probably the best modern diver out there. Tudor absolutely nailed it. I look forward to seeing a Pelagos 39 in blue and maybe more FXD chronographs.
Ah man… the FXD it just… gets better by the month for me. I’m one of those nutters that would own a “spare” simply because they’re such good buying today… would love the see more added to the Pelagos collection (like you) 🥃
I got my blue BB58 a little over 2 years ago for $3100; it was a year old but immaculate. I’ve worn it continuously since then, and it’s a great watch!
I finally came around to the fact that Tudor provides some of the best bang for the buck. I have not sought one on the secondary market, but will definitely consider now. Since acquiring my P39 in December last year at retail price, it has not left my wrist. It is the perfect tool watch for me. As always, your videos are the best in many ways.
Ah, they’re brilliant AND it’s so good to know that the P39 hasn’t left your wrist sir! This hobby of ours has its moments (especially now that the mania has well and truly deflated) 😉🥃
I picked up a mint BB58 blue on bracelet and nato strap for $2500. Was an unbelievable bargain and is the perfect summer watch for me. Next up on my list is the black FXD.
No price drops that I can see here in Australia. A used Tudor Ranger on a bracelet will set you back a little over $4,000 Australian dollars. That’s around 2,050 pounds sterling. I’m saving up for the Ranger, but with prices so high here on the used market it makes more sense to spend an extra $800 AUD and procure one new.
I try my utmost to be as anti-hype as possible (…with varying levels of success) - just feels so liberating not having my face (open mouth, perplexed expression etc) on any of nearly 400 thumbnails on this channel 😉🥃
Love watching your reviews man even thought you’re just sitting 🪑 talking about watches! lol. My BBP gets a lot of wrist time. Pelagos 39 is my next purchase so i am glad the market is slowing down for these awesome timepieces
Picked up a AMZWATCH's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MAMACOO I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
About a month ago, I bought a 1 year old Panda Black Bay Chrono that looked absolutely new, 35% lower than MSRP. I absolutely love it, and I don't know if I would've bought it, if the prices hadn't dropped this low.
was blown away by the BB monochrome earlier this year. couldn't find them anywhere at first, but snagged one 6 months later for nearly 1k below MSRP. currently one of my favorite watches in a collection that includes a moonwatch, explorer and GMT.
Wearing my BB Pro, 1 of 4 Tudors I own (all new from the boutique), while watching. Would second the motion - great values and the designs are fantastic. Happy hunting!
Chased down a Tudor Ranger 7996/0. 34mm, date, thin, light, a perfect watch with memories tied to it. I, for one, would love to have them come out with a new updated 34-36mm Tudor Ranger. It would become my daily driver should they ever do it.
The dream Tudor… does it get better than an original “Ranger date”? I’d probably trade a few of my pieces for a mint one 😉 Freaking gorgeous piece man…
I'm really grateful for this video (great video mate) - I honestly kind of ignored Tudor because I just felt that as a brand and as a watch it was over committed: too much hype and too pricey for watches that were so vanilla and beige (great work horse pieces - but pricey work horses nonetheless). The adjustments in secondary prices are very welcome and there genuinely are some bargains that you've highlighted here.
TBH I'm wary of the Tudor super fans who insist on comparing Tudor to Omega so that Rolex can pretend to be worth what people are playing for them verses JLC, Vacheron, Patek etc (and let's be really honest - Rolex is nowhere near that company). Rolex owned companies will always be over hyped good watches.
You're right! You won't experience as much emotion wearing a Tudor compared to other watch brands at a similar price point. I really like Tudor; however, I'd rather pay a bit more for a Cartier, IWC, or Omega
I bought my Black Bay 54 for RRP and to be fair, it represents amazing value because it's become my one 'luxury to me' watch and I'm enamored with it. It's so versatile especially with a collection of straps. I struggle to find fault with it.
I got a newly new bb54 and sold a bunch of cheaper watches so that I now only have the bb54 and a Reverso Duoface medium (plus a square Gshock 5610). I pretty much only wear the bb54
Yes 100% - I have picked up a Heritage Ranger (79910) on a Leather Bund strap and a Heritage Black Bay Dark (79230DK) on the Jacquard Fabric strap - both from 2021- for well under the original retail and right near new Seiko SPB433J pricing. I am always looking for a North Flag with the 5621 movement at the right price.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on AMZWATCH 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
I chased down and bought my 54 at full retail at an AD earlier this year because I dig it and know it’ll be a keeper. Why? Because to me it’s worth it. The majority of the watches I own have appreciated substantially over time, but were never bought with value retention in mind. Buy what you love and you’ll never be disappointed.
The opaline Dial GMT and the monochrome Black Bay are both excellent pieces. I fell in love with the GMT when I tried it on. I have a heritage 41mm Black Bay and it is a great watch. Is it my Rolex? No, but it’s not far off. Tudor is the best value for the buck out there.
I bought my first Tudor Black Bay Bronze and adore it on the leather strap. Fell for the Black Bay 41 Monochrome on the five link bracelet,had the shiny vertical buffed flat to meet the rest of the band , I’m adverse to Rolex flash but want history,quality and little low key quiet look ..
I have two Tudors - a BB58 925 with silver case that I bought to celebrate my 75th birthday, and a BB39 S&G that I was complimented on as being a really nice Rolex! Both bought new at a good price, and neither is going anywhere.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
I bought a Ranger on a bracelet off eBay for $1900 in near perfect condition. I took the bracelet and put it on my BB58 and gave the Ranger to my dad on a rubber strap as a travel watch. The bracelet from the Ranger is amazing.
If you're thinking about buying a new watch, now is definitely the time-and not just on the secondary market. Two weeks ago, I visited an official Longines boutique, and the salesperson immediately offered me an 8% discount on every watch without me even asking. She even mentioned that while more expensive brands are holding up well, watches in the 2-4k price range are struggling.
To be fair that’s how it was years back. I never paid retail even in ADs, used to be able to get discounts on Rolexes let alone all the other brands. The market isn’t tanking it’s just going back to normal.
Funny enough, I spotted one in the wild on a guys wrist for the first time while I was overseas and man did it look good. I’ve been seriously considering adding one (but if they bring out a 36mm with date? Oh boy 🔥)
I love the collapse of prices in these markets. It makes it so much more fun to buy pieces where you’re finally not paying extra for no reason. Imagine a world of fair prices where gouging does not occur. Blissful
I think this may be the right time for me to pull the trigger on what has recently become my grail watch, the Pelagus 39. While still in demand, I've seen prices in the grey and used market dropping recently.
I got my black bay at 25% off at retail recently so this doesn't hurt as much as it could have lol. I really want a Grand Seiko Slga019 and was put on a list when i suddenly realised "why the funk am i on a waiting list for a GS?!" I think this particular ephinany is be oming more common with more and more brands
Great video. You missed a special Tudor though - the North Flag. It had the first in house movement, a non homage design, clear case back, power reserve dial. What a brilliant Tudor!
AMZWATCH is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！
For whatever reason, I've been obsessed with Tudor recently... I just "discovered" the brand (before I've always just dismissed it as a Rolex knock-off, until I found out about the history and ties to Rolex). You have great taste... I've been ogling BB54 and Pelagos FXD. They're both fantastic looking pieces and stylistically different enough to warrant getting both! (FXD > BB58 blue)
Got my Black Bay 58 off Ebay for 2900 including tax last summer. Compared to 4000 from an AD. Total bargain but I feel that this is what these watches should be going for.
Getting Tudors for 2k just feels right, I know what you mean… wish these brands would be more “realistic” with their pricing. Actually had a whole segment of this video covering the subject (thought it meandered too much 😉)
Happy to snap up pre owned Tudors and Omegas at big discounts. Bought.. Pelagos 39 for $3200 BB54 for $2500 LHD for $2850 North Flag for $3000 NTTD Seamaster 300 for $6000 CK859 for $5200 All full set and in very mint condition.
Thank God I didnt buy the 925 yet 😅 Looks like I have to get a Tudor in 2025 with these prices, hopefully we see more discounts. Have a great weekend brother 🙏🏽
The deals are going to get better and better as the months go by AND not just for Tudors. It’s going to be an interesting 2025 😉 Have a superb weekend m’boy!
I've got a 925 and it doesn't dissapoint, very nice watch but my god it will dent up easily!!! Paid half of retail for a mint 2022 in March 2024 and it seems to be holding its value now.
I recently picked up a BB58 from the original owner with box, papers, tag, and crystal plastic for $2,450 on eBay. I don't plan on selling it because I've waited years for the prices to get good. Amazing watch, especially at a steep discount.
I love my MN FXD that much that when the black variant drops in price a little more I'll pick one of those up too. But the Ranger is still the most underrated watch, the 39mm size is perfect imo and I haven't found a strap it doesn't work with.
Spot-on about the Ranger. Spotted it in the wild while away diving in the South of Spain, had to do a double take because it looked so good... thought it was an Explorer before seeing the "12" on the dial. Complimented him too and had a chat about "Tudors" in general (I was rocking the FXD) Stellar, stellar watch. Ever since I've been seriously considering adding a Ranger ;) 🥃
You and me both... one of the 5 main pieces I've been looking at (for months now) is the Blue XX... what a gorgeous, gorgeous machine! Exciting times to be in this hobby ;)
Glad I help out the community? Just sold a new Root Beer GMT for $3,800 on the bay. This was a $6,000 watch at retail! Oh well, it was just time to let it go. I've owned over 12 Tudors and have 6 in my collection. Looking to pick a NOS Black Bay 41 79540 on bracelet. I always track the price of Black Bay Heritage ETA-Smiley models. These were expensive just a year ago. The prices are way down but of course the selection is short. Yes there are some great deals to be had!
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MAMACOO's watches are the most intriguing.
Having loaded a ton of awesome Tudors into the secondary market at much less than I paid, I feel your pain mate! But I also suspect it’s all part of Tudor / Team Wilsdorf’s plan. And a wonderful one for watch fans everywhere.
I got 2 Uncle Straps half links (which are more like 2/3 links) and the Steel Reef in the fly extension link for it. Works great for me. I’ve seen some videos on YT about how the T-fit is not as great as it’s supposed to be. Some people still can’t get the perfect fit with it.
I've bought a number of watches from Japan over the last year (Longines and Omega) and the prices were great. You're right, it's so refreshing. And it's the sheer availability too - the stock levels on the secondary market and it's a joy dealing with Japanese sellers. Been thinking about a P01 for some time … 🤔 Cheers IDGuy. Enjoyed the optimism, the world feels a bit doom and gloom atm, so thanks. Have a good one. 🫡
excellent video and funny enough I'm currently looking at a Black Bay Steel which also falls into this category and can be found for great prices on the used market.
I purchased a black bay heritage smiley when they first came out, I think it cost me at the time £2500 or thereabouts, went for the one on distressed leather strap rather than bracelet. It’s a fantastic watch for the money and stunning to look at with its off the shelf patina. I sometimes think about trading it for one of the GMTs but if I did I would probably regret it.
The Pelagos 39 was so talked about when it was released, and I was denied by three AD's to purchase it due to high demand. Now it's as if the model never even existed
I'd pick up a blue BB when they release it as a Master Chronometer. Then again, there's a thought that constantly returns right before I pull the trigger and make a purchase. That' a few thousand dollars I can put toward a Rolex instead.
I think the Watch Market is now like the Car Market, in that if you buy new, in most cases you are going to take a bath if/when you come to sell it. We are back to normal, buy grey or secondhand, don’t buy anything from an AD 😅 I picked up a brand new, eBay authenticated, Omega Speedmaster (heserlite), 2024 for £4150 last week. That’s a £2450 discount. I think by mid next year, a current model Speedmaster will dip below £4000
Sorry, slightly off-topic as not price related - but I just didn't get the Pelagos 39 until I saw it out in the wild - and was transfixed!! Absolutely stunning in the flesh, I had to go up to the guy and ask him about it (I had been dragged into Ikea, so was pretty bored tbf). That combination of colours, textures and that pop of red - all at a super wearable 39mm. It's just stunning! Prices haven't really softeneed much yet, but it's still a bargain at list price.
Exactly my thoughts on the 39mm Ranger. Saw it on a guys wrist in the wild (while diving in Spain) had to go and chat. Thought it was an Explorer until I noticed the "12" on the dial. Size, all brushed, it looked perfect! I was rocking my FXD at the time so we had some real "Tudor" talk 🥃
@@ID-Guy That's really interesting - I keep looking at those Rangers in the shop window, wondering how they would look on-wrist! Great content, have a fantastic weekend! 🍻
My GMt through eBay in 2023 with an eBay offered discount came in at £2100…6months old, box, papers, stickers still on it. Authenticated certificate. Couldn’t click buy quick enough. Hasn’t been off my wrist since it arrived. Omega SM & Rolex DJ sold on. No longer required.
A few years on, we have plenty of chances now to pick up Tudors that we might've missed...

Two weeks ago, I visited an official Longines boutique, and the salesperson immediately offered me an 8% discount on every watch without me even asking. She even mentioned that while more expensive brands are holding up well, watches in the 2-4k price range are struggling.
It's a saturated market.
To be fair that’s how it was years back. I never paid retail even in ADs, used to be able to get discounts on Rolexes let alone all the other brands.
The market isn’t tanking it’s just going back to normal.
I couldn’t find BB54 for less than 2700£ idk where did you pick up those prices
I would like a BB58 or a gmt version of it but where do you find the second hand options because I would be interested to see the condition in person?
On the Ranger hunt! Did not fancy one until I tried it on…looking forward to picking one up
Funny enough, I spotted one in the wild on a guys wrist for the first time while I was overseas and man did it look good. I’ve been seriously considering adding one (but if they bring out a 36mm with date? Oh boy 🔥)
I love the collapse of prices in these markets. It makes it so much more fun to buy pieces where you’re finally not paying extra for no reason. Imagine a world of fair prices where gouging does not occur. Blissful
I think this may be the right time for me to pull the trigger on what has recently become my grail watch, the Pelagus 39. While still in demand, I've seen prices in the grey and used market dropping recently.
I got my black bay at 25% off at retail recently so this doesn't hurt as much as it could have lol.
I really want a Grand Seiko Slga019 and was put on a list when i suddenly realised "why the funk am i on a waiting list for a GS?!"
I think this particular ephinany is be oming more common with more and more brands
GS is tanking too. That SLGA021 is 50% of MSRP used, and the 019 30% off used (and slowly falling).
@@charleshailey4461 absolutely, great news for people who love watches
I admire majority of Tudors. If they could reissue the 1926 with an in house movement that would be amazing
Great video. You missed a special Tudor though - the North Flag. It had the first in house movement, a non homage design, clear case back, power reserve dial. What a brilliant Tudor!
Pretty hard to find
AMZWATCH is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！
For whatever reason, I've been obsessed with Tudor recently... I just "discovered" the brand (before I've always just dismissed it as a Rolex knock-off, until I found out about the history and ties to Rolex). You have great taste... I've been ogling BB54 and Pelagos FXD. They're both fantastic looking pieces and stylistically different enough to warrant getting both! (FXD > BB58 blue)
Can definitely recommend the 54. Wears so nicely, love the sizing visually but also due to the weight.
Great video as always. As a proud BB54 owner I look forward to the review of yours
The new burgundy metas black bay 41 can be had for around $4k CAD which is absolutely amazing!
A friend of mine picked up a FXD for only 2100 euro. Insane to consider they sold for double that less than a year ago
Spot-on. Think I got mine for 3k pounds 2 years back... oh how times have changed! 🥃
Got my Black Bay 58 off Ebay for 2900 including tax last summer. Compared to 4000 from an AD. Total bargain but I feel that this is what these watches should be going for.
Getting Tudors for 2k just feels right, I know what you mean… wish these brands would be more “realistic” with their pricing. Actually had a whole segment of this video covering the subject (thought it meandered too much 😉)
I went to Meadowhall to try on watches for my big birthday. I couldn’t be bothered to step inside the Tudor showroom!
Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite
Happy to snap up pre owned Tudors and Omegas at big discounts.
Bought..
Pelagos 39 for $3200
BB54 for $2500
LHD for $2850
North Flag for $3000
NTTD Seamaster 300 for $6000
CK859 for $5200
All full set and in very mint condition.
In short, don't chase the hype😂
In short don't chase the hype😂
yeah sure
Love AMZWATCH watch， Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.
Does the Ranger strap fit on the BB54? I mean also with the springbars through it? Thanks! 9:14
Well I guess it's time to subscribe. I keep watching this channel and it's pretty damn good.
Excellent video Sir. Sorry you didn't mentioned the Tudor Royal 41 Day Date, really CRAZY second hand prices
Watch salesman are eating Ramen noodles 🍜 and Macaroni and cheese!😎
Not necessarily, cheap prices means cheap buy prices and higher volume
My favorite watch channel without a doubt.I’m happy to spend my money on MAMACOO watches. I’ve never been let down by their products
Always a good day when your video drops!Great video as always.Can’t beat it for MAMACOO watches！
Bought a BB heritage smiley blue in 2019 and love the proportions and thinner case as well as the non rivet bracelet.
The Tudors are piled up in the dealerships. They’re going to need more cases.
I love watching your videos and MAMACOO to keep myself updated on the world of watches
Thank God I didnt buy the 925 yet 😅 Looks like I have to get a Tudor in 2025 with these prices, hopefully we see more discounts. Have a great weekend brother 🙏🏽
The deals are going to get better and better as the months go by AND not just for Tudors. It’s going to be an interesting 2025 😉 Have a superb weekend m’boy!
I've got a 925 and it doesn't dissapoint, very nice watch but my god it will dent up easily!!! Paid half of retail for a mint 2022 in March 2024 and it seems to be holding its value now.
I recently picked up a BB58 from the original owner with box, papers, tag, and crystal plastic for $2,450 on eBay. I don't plan on selling it because I've waited years for the prices to get good. Amazing watch, especially at a steep discount.
I love my MN FXD that much that when the black variant drops in price a little more I'll pick one of those up too. But the Ranger is still the most underrated watch, the 39mm size is perfect imo and I haven't found a strap it doesn't work with.
Spot-on about the Ranger. Spotted it in the wild while away diving in the South of Spain, had to do a double take because it looked so good... thought it was an Explorer before seeing the "12" on the dial. Complimented him too and had a chat about "Tudors" in general (I was rocking the FXD) Stellar, stellar watch. Ever since I've been seriously considering adding a Ranger ;) 🥃
Watching the prices of iwc’s drop is great, I can’t wait to pick up an xx.
You and me both... one of the 5 main pieces I've been looking at (for months now) is the Blue XX... what a gorgeous, gorgeous machine! Exciting times to be in this hobby ;)
Best Tudor Design of all times for me personally is the North Flag!
Glad I help out the community? Just sold a new Root Beer GMT for $3,800 on the bay. This was a $6,000 watch at retail! Oh well, it was just time to let it go. I've owned over 12 Tudors and have 6 in my collection. Looking to pick a NOS Black Bay 41 79540 on bracelet. I always track the price of Black Bay Heritage ETA-Smiley models. These were expensive just a year ago. The prices are way down but of course the selection is short. Yes there are some great deals to be had!
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MAMACOO's watches are the most intriguing.
Having loaded a ton of awesome Tudors into the secondary market at much less than I paid, I feel your pain mate! But I also suspect it’s all part of Tudor / Team Wilsdorf’s plan. And a wonderful one for watch fans everywhere.
I recommend the Tudor Heritage Advisor
BB58 navy blue is still my favorite.
Same. I’m going to get one of the t-fit clasps for mine when it’s available
I got 2 Uncle Straps half links (which are more like 2/3 links) and the Steel Reef in the fly extension link for it. Works great for me. I’ve seen some videos on YT about how the T-fit is not as great as it’s supposed to be. Some people still can’t get the perfect fit with it.
@@theenavybluemonster I have a T-fit on a BB58 UTC and like it so far. Great options though! Thanks for the recommendation.
MAMACOO！Every time you exhibit one of these watches I become super tempted to get one.
I've bought a number of watches from Japan over the last year (Longines and Omega) and the prices were great.
You're right, it's so refreshing. And it's the sheer availability too - the stock levels on the secondary market and it's a joy dealing with Japanese sellers.
Been thinking about a P01 for some time … 🤔
Cheers IDGuy. Enjoyed the optimism, the world feels a bit doom and gloom atm, so thanks.
Have a good one.

Where is the bb54 going for 2-2800 usd? Not eBay that’s for sure
excellent video and funny enough I'm currently looking at a Black Bay Steel which also falls into this category and can be found for great prices on the used market.
Great video!
This was a great video.
I’d take a Pelagos FXD, a BB Pro, and a Bronze BB very happily. Perhaps I need to go watch hunting.
Oh and I love the Diet Pepsi above the Diet Coke by a lot so one of those too.
I purchased a black bay heritage smiley when they first came out, I think it cost me at the time £2500 or thereabouts, went for the one on distressed leather strap rather than bracelet. It’s a fantastic watch for the money and stunning to look at with its off the shelf patina. I sometimes think about trading it for one of the GMTs but if I did I would probably regret it.
Yes, one of each please. 🙂 Had my eye on a White, GMT lately. 👍
Who makes the leather wrist strap shown at the 1:55 mark?
The Pelagos 39 was so talked about when it was released, and I was denied by three AD's to purchase it due to high demand. Now it's as if the model never even existed
I'd pick up a blue BB when they release it as a Master Chronometer. Then again, there's a thought that constantly returns right before I pull the trigger and make a purchase.
That' a few thousand dollars I can put toward a Rolex instead.
Are prices also down on the Tudor Royal? If so by approx how much...
I think the Watch Market is now like the Car Market, in that if you buy new, in most cases you are going to take a bath if/when you come to sell it. We are back to normal, buy grey or secondhand, don’t buy anything from an AD 😅
I picked up a brand new, eBay authenticated, Omega Speedmaster (heserlite), 2024 for £4150 last week. That’s a £2450 discount. I think by mid next year, a current model Speedmaster will dip below £4000
Summed it up extremely well sir ;) think I did reply to your previous comment but again well done for grabbing your Speedmaster for a steal! 🔥
Sorry, slightly off-topic as not price related - but I just didn't get the Pelagos 39 until I saw it out in the wild - and was transfixed!! Absolutely stunning in the flesh, I had to go up to the guy and ask him about it (I had been dragged into Ikea, so was pretty bored tbf). That combination of colours, textures and that pop of red - all at a super wearable 39mm. It's just stunning! Prices haven't really softeneed much yet, but it's still a bargain at list price.
Exactly my thoughts on the 39mm Ranger. Saw it on a guys wrist in the wild (while diving in Spain) had to go and chat. Thought it was an Explorer until I noticed the "12" on the dial. Size, all brushed, it looked perfect! I was rocking my FXD at the time so we had some real "Tudor" talk 🥃
@@ID-Guy That's really interesting - I keep looking at those Rangers in the shop window, wondering how they would look on-wrist! Great content, have a fantastic weekend! 🍻
My GMt through eBay in 2023 with an eBay offered discount came in at £2100…6months old, box, papers, stickers still on it. Authenticated certificate. Couldn’t click buy quick enough. Hasn’t been off my wrist since it arrived. Omega SM & Rolex DJ sold on. No longer required.
