    I work in the luxury industry, admittedly not in watches, but I choose Omega over Rolex because I always buy used, I have no interest in retail, and whilst I appreciate the value in buying Rolex from an AD (if they let you) buying an Omega at 50p in the £ is far better value to me.

    Disagree with the Omega comment. The co-axial movements and build are better. In another example, I bought a Seamaster 2254.50 in 2018 and it's doubled in value since then. I do agree that Rolex def holds its value much better and is obviously the more coveted watch.

    If you sell a Rolex, and the buyer bring the watch and warranty card back to the SAME AD, or another branch of the head company, then they will know you sold it when they check the serial number on their database.

  • @westendwatch
    @westendwatch Рік тому +2

    Love your videos , nice pace , packed with info , no waffle :-) . Agree with you on Rolex retaining more value than Omega but not that Omega are lower quality or inferior design . The Rolex market is supported by a lot of buyers who aren't really that interested in horology. If you're a fan of historic important classic iconic watches what are your options for , say, a steel chrono and a steel dive watch:
    Speedmaster £6500 from any Omega shop, Steel Daytona £25K from the grey market
    Seamaster £5500 at H Samuel probably, Date Sub £15K from the Honest Watch Dealer
    I'm sure you could give us a nice 30 minute video reviewing pros and cons of those four watches but we can agree there's not a bad one there and they will all last for decades . However the Rolex duo is costing you 40K while the Omegas are 12K . Sadly it is also possible to lose money on Rolex as anyone who's bought a Rootbeer in the last year has discovered.

    Charlie. I think most people that read about watches on UA-cam find you a decent and genuinely nice guy.
    You run a business, and it's Rolex based. You fill a gap in the market due to the over demand at ADs.
    Fair enough. However your comments on the quality gap between Rolex and Omega, as I am sure you now realise. Are just not right. Is Rolex more in demand - yes. Is it harder to get, with a few exceptions - yes. But side by side is it a better built watch, a better set of movements v Omega. No.
    We all like you. But just because there isn't money in Omega for you. You shouldn't make such unsupportable statements on the build of the watches.
    Thank you though for your other insights. You are a good guy.
    Cheers.

    Phenomenal content - super helpful, thank you! Can you share your insights on how to decide between a 2023 sub date or no date and the Sea Dweller? I Have a 7" wrist and go back and forth wondering if the sub is too small vs. the larger/hefter SD43. This would be my go to daily wear but of course want to have long term value and low risk if I preferred another Rolex model later on.

      So regarding Sub date or Non-Date it should all come down to your personal preference. As the Subs are the flagship model they will always be great ones to hold on to, as they are highly liquid when coming to sell.
      Make sure you try both on at the same time to see which you think looks and feels best when deciding between a Sea-Dweller or Submariner. 👌🏻

    To be honest a rolex is a nice watch but id say the name makes up 80% of its hype because there are other brands that make more artistic, complicated and more rare watches. Patek for one! (certain models) rolex has the simple elegance though and they have proprietary metals.

    I can understand where that gentleman is coming from with his comment "Rolex watches are boring". He probably meant that Rolex is offering pretty much the same models all the time and hardly ever make any changes in the designs. However I think they don't have to. You don't buy a Rolex for its innovations. You do because they are well made, keep their value and are instantly recognizable.
    I tend to dress formaly and I have a skinny wrist (6 inches and a quarter) so a 36mm Datejust with a fluted bezel is my #1 choice. I'd love a GMT Master II but it's not really dressy and too big for my wrist. The Day-Date 36mm would be great as well but too rich for my blood.

More bang for your money over Rolex especially if you can get 20-40% discount. 🤔Speedmaster Moonwatch was only watch to pass all requirements for NASA Moon Landing. Saved lives for Apollo 13 Mission. Winner of NASA Snoopy Silver Award. Speedmaster Professional Co-axial Master Chronometer Chronograph movement is above Daytona🤔.

    The prices will be extremely strong, no they wont be , if you go and purchase from an AD, it will be RRP. No ned to go grey and pay premium. The market is good..... for buyers.

      it’s true but if Rolex didn’t play games and just allowed people buy the watches they want to buy then this wouldn’t be a problem. Flippers serve a valuable purpose for when your AD won’t let you buy the watch you want you can pay the premium to buy it

    I'm not totally convinced that the market is as good as you are saying. Obviously it DOES depend on location, and the affluence of an area, but I live in the Cheshire area, and a local pawnbroker has a Rolex Sea Dweller, for £8450 reduced from £9500, and still not selling. Totally understand that people who have a 'physical location' / shop / store, HAVE to charge more! Rent on premises is hideously expensive and staff don't work for nothing!

    Hi Charlie. I had actually stopped viewing all watch related YT stuff because 99% of it is clickbait and BS...you are like a breath of fresh air. May I ask a question please? You had a previous video, which you made prior to the new releases ; in that you said that the best premium for oysterflex Daytonas was the Pikachu.
    Now that the new releases are out, in the strict sense the Pikachu doesn't exist anymore. But do you think that the current closest thing ie YG, golden main dial and black subdials will attract a similar premium to the Pikachu?
    Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

    quick comments about the Omega boys 4:50.
    First of all, as a watch enthusiast I can understand why you prefer certain brands instead of the other. What people failed to see, Rolex is a different kind of luxury watches compared to the others as it will be considered as an asset. For a few reason, such as price retention, you might even gained money from having one.
    Now, before anybody jumped to conclusion, well the "Rolex enthusiast" is not a watch lover then, as they buy only to sell. In some ways, yes. Although, the grey market is thriving due to the brand, but you can't help but notice there are a few omega's and RM's and etc as well in the market.
    So basically, nobody is stopping you from buying other brands, but just so you know, Rolex can be bought as an investment as well. Hence, like in the video said, the watch is a liquid asset, in many ways you can park your money.
    Now if you ask me why is Rolex is the very few brands that gets treated as an asset compared to Swatch watches, we might have to do another discussion for that.

And to those that say Rolex is boring fail to understand the classic evolution of the brand as opposed to the flavor of the day approach, the road to failed business models are littered with many brands that gussed wrong.

    It doesn’t matter how confidential he is. Buy a Rolex from an AD, the AD records the 8 digit number and it is listed under your name. Sell to a grey market dealer, it can be tracked back to you. 100 dealers lost their franchises last year for selling to flippers. My AD took a picture of my papers. Took off all the stickers etc.

    4:48 saying that the market is sound is a bit vague. The market is good for certain Rolex models atm but not all. I have an oysterflex YM-42 in white gold. Gray dealers are refusing to buy it.
