Jeweler tries to scam us with a fake Rolex...WTF!? | CRM Life E71
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2022
- Since the recession began, we have seen a surge in fake watches come through our store...but nothing like this! Another dealer was trying to sell two Rolex watches to us, but after Ms. CRM opened the packaged when they arrived, Charlie made a startling discovery.
We definitely did not expect another grey market dealer to try to scam us. Was it an honest mistake or deliberate? You be the judge when you watch episode 71 of CRM Life!
The watch market continues to correct, albeit at a slightly slower pace. Even though we're not popping the champagne bottles yet, we did start selling Patek Philippe watches again, which have taken a severe beating since the market started correcting in the start of the second quarter of this year. These were pretty big heavy hitters, the Patek Philippe 5990 and 5711 in rose gold.
Lots of people are calling us about consigning their watches. Even though we have never consigned a lot of watches in the past, we are starting to do it again given the current environment and greater market risk of holding high end pieces longer. If you want to consign your watch with us, email us at support@crmjewelers.com.
Also, please like and share this video. It'll help it perform better in UA-cam and, by the same token, help our business do better. We are truly grateful for your support!

After a long night of work and a few hours of sleep, I wake up, put on my CRM sweater (since it's Friday) and coffee in hand (in my CRM mug of course), I put on my weekly episode of CRM, a way like any other to commune with the angels of Paradise who are surely all riveted in front of their cosmic screen. What do i see within the first 5 minutes? Carlos who concludes a deal on the phone with Batman watching over him (my favorite painting synonymous with CRM since my first episodes). Then, the Angelic Natalie walks in, bringing with her the incandescent light of the Sun. We then folllow Carlos who parades like Charlie Chaplin to show us shorts straight out of a Salvador Dali canvas. Not over yet. We now witness Betty, our favorite Princess Leia, who is on the verge of shedding a tear because of a gift that only her emotional candor deserves. No shortage of beauty yet: Raysa, whose silent beauty served as a model for God to create the grandeur of Eve, is seen (or admired) on a motorcycle with her rebellious husband... and finally, a juicy deal involving a watch released straight from the furnaces of heavens, entertains us. Here are the first 5 minutes and I haven't even had my first drop of coffee yet! Let's stop wondering why CRM is what it is. Business, human warmth, hypnotizing beauties and emotion... all within a few glorious seconds. Folks, It's friday night! It's CRM time! And what a show! I can barely keep up! The various questions that embellish the video are definitely a plus. Whoever came up with that idea had a brilliant stroke of inspiration. The segment around the 33 minute mark, where Carlos gets his hair cut by Sandra, is one of the times I've laughed the most since I was stung by the CRM bee. The levity, familiarity and hilarity of the moment sums up what i'm sure many of us love about this unique family. I can't get enough of these sweet little family moments. And as for Dan, my ultimate leader, the one that no storm can bring down, his talk on the future of the company and how to diversify the offer is one of the MAJOR reasons why CRM will endure . Dan is the solution. Dan is the backbone of the business. Like the Batman canvas which represents the store well, Dan is the dark knight. The Watchful guardian. On another note, the segment on the watches that each of the gang appreciate was a gem! I had just suggested such a segment this week. Another person asking the same question is proof that we fans are all one big family. A family that shares its disgust at the obvious deception that a dark watch dealer has tried to orchestrate (around the 42:00 mark). what affects our family by proxy should affect us all! Was it intentional? My gut tells me to listen to Charlie and Betty. He's the Boy-King, next to the throne and She's the hand that rocks the cradle. They know. God! I wish i could see the wrath of Carlos unleash on that... that... oh well, let's not get sucked into a negative spiral. This is a happy time! A happy time which is clouded by the assertions of Charlie who claims to want to retire before his dad! Charlie! Don't joke like that! My tattooed CRM heart can't take it! You are not only the present of the store but also its glorious future! Without CRM, the Worldwide fellowship of watches would lose its bearings, its rudder of values. There is a secret passage in the Bible about watches and the effect CRM has on people. Specifically in the End Days meant to be a passage to a better world. A world in which every day will be Friday. In which every day will be CRM day.
By the way, the green cap at the end suits Sandra superbly. Anyway, no color can do justice to her incandesence, her human warmth... but green is a good start :) See ya!
Now Episode 71 is complete. The blessings of your words are infinite. Just read your dissertation to Sandra whose happiness meter just went off the chart. This has become a Friday ritual for us. By the way, I was about to order your merch last week and got sidetracked. Will do it now. I apologize. Lots of balls being juggled over here. LOL. Have a blessed weekend with your sons and thank you for your inspiring words once more! 🙏
@@Crmjewelers No, Dan.. no! Please do not waste a single second of energy on my order. You have more important stuff to take care of. The last thing I want is for you to stress about me. You'll do it when you'll do it. I have my CRM Tshirt my CRM mug. I have your videos and your encouragement in your responses to my comments. I've got all i need. When you all think about me, if you ever do, i'd like for you all to have a smile. Not hurry up about an order. Just reading that I made Sandra happy, if only for a brief moment, fills my heart with joy. You gave me that. I love you all. CRM forever.
@Magic Mike71 too late LOL 😉
@@Crmjewelers I knew you'd write something like that... :):):) Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dan, but i meant what i said. Don't hurry anything just for my sake. Heck, you're the one giving me gifts! Matter of fact, you give us all an incredible gift each friday with your wonderful family, values, time, inspiration and videos! And you, my friend, inspire me more than you think with your incredible leadership. I'll never say it enough. "What would Dan do?" should be on the back of a CRM T-Shirt for inspiration... God bless you for the strenght you and your family give me! You are using this sacred Miami business to spread something good out there. God is speaking through you. I hope you realize that.
Thank you my brother. Really appreciate your inspiring words. 🙏
Lol "We are all security here" LOVE IT!
Man, you guys are humble and seem like great people! Huge props to your team!
Thank you my friend for your kind words. Without family, none of this would work.
Most disrespectful thing to do is to wear sunglasses inside and even more wearing them when you’re talking to someone inside a business with them on. You don’t look cool wearing sunglasses inside a building. Take them off and show respect.
I just got done working 10 hours, digging a French drain in a crawlspace.. Trying to figure out how I can get $20 of McDonalds to feed 6 people. Why am I always watching this?
excellent!its called "aspiration".,,, which comes next is perspiration and inspiration...as in breathing in respiration....you must discover magic....and the karma of retribution....rule1."think it, so it be....rule 2. "the law of giving and recieving" youtube 43minutes..in your words you have the power to create or destroy, you must cultivate ultimate positivity and careing for others, only thru the loss of yourself will the flow of the universe come through..you must lower your internal resistance to recieve gifts from g-d....
@@lunam7249 very well said!
Fantasy is better then reality tv lol
So you can start your watch hustle
Why mc donalds when you can get bread for 3 dollars an one pound ground beef for 4 dollars. So for under 10 dollars you can get enough food to last couple days
“We’re all security” aka they stay strapped, gotta protect your stuff with all of this lawlessness
#TRUTH
packin' heat !!!
9:28 Can see Carlos printing. Gotta love it
💯
Yet another great episode CRM 👏
Bit late watching this week but it was well worth the wait 💯❤🙏
Thank you my friend 🙏
Really enjoying the Q&A format!
Carlos: "The GMT is fake"
California guy: "Hunh"
The California guy seems so nonchalant about his GMT being a fake. If he was legit and actually cared about his reputation in the business, he would be apologizing for letting something like this slip by. Maybe he's legit, but careless. Or maybe he's so naive he can't detect a fake. Probably he's just a scammer hoping to slip a fake one past you guys.
Totally agree , he would have sold the fake .
there is nothing sadder than a man approaching middle age wearing skinny jeans, yellow sneakers and "flexing".
I enjoy your family and I wish I could have a family like yours but it didn’t work out for me. Just know there are people out here who are envious of what your family has in spades “Love for one another”. It took six heart attacks for me to learn some lessons in life. Thank you for sharing your family !
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. Sorry to hear about your misfortunes and health. Rest assured that you have a family in spirit here for you in Miami. 🙏
@@Crmjewelers that’s a sweet sentiment, thank you.
So happy to watch another great video from our whole family. Thanks for keeping us all entertained and always making us laugh and smile. My pop's had to go to hospital last week, he's so old school and so strong (my pop's) just kept saying "I'm fine, I'm okay". But, had to go because his heart was beating so low, slow. They had him wearing that hospital "Gear" , once he had enough he calmly got up and put on his street clothes and sat back down and said, "what, why do I have to be naked". Lol
Thank you so much my friend. God bless your pop and may he continue to be a special part of your life for many years to come. 🙏
Seven: #2 on the sides, #7 on the back! 🤣
I’m surprised Carlos didn’t break out the simple green when he demo’d the cleaning product haha.
Best advice I’ve ever heard someone give to you a teenage/college kid. Party is there at every age.
We are all security. Movie quality line! Great video guys. I'm definitely buying that cleaning pen.
LOL, thank you Jessie.
I love this Channel! I was down in Florida 3 hour drive from crm and I had to stop in to meet them and say hello. Glad I did. They weren’t recording when I was in but everything was running like they show on the UA-cam episodes. I talked to Charlie and Carlos like they knew me a lifetime. Willy even went and got Cuban coffee from next door. (Which I stop at after and had a Cuban sandwich) Betty yelled at us because we didn’t wait for her to have coffee.Lol
thanks for keeping the show real!
Much Love from Chicago
Thank you my friend for all your support and for stopping by to meet the fam. 🙏
another fire video......ya gotta shout out the editor..love ya content ..much love from queens ny ...big up to the camera man
I have been watching your older videos. I love the story of you hiring the bouncer and teaching him the trade!
Carlos, congrats on selling the Patek 5990! Hard to do in today's downward trending market. Now the pressure is on Charlie to match you in sales this month.
What’s your opinion on the cleaning pen?
A perfect end to any week, another great show.
I really appreciate that!
I'm watching the old content because I've already seen all the new stuff, and I miss the Q&A's in the vids so bad :( They're actually quite interesting and pretty funny. Dios los bendiga, hermanos CRM, saludos desde México!
Thank you Alan. We want to bring the Q&As back. 👍
It is obscene that watches should cost this. They are not anywhere close to being worth it. This is why society is broken.
I love being able to watch these on a Friday afternoon.
Thank you my friend for watching. UA-cam was nice to us this Friday LOL.
@@Crmjewelers 😁😁😁love to make you smile Betty . Keep on smiling if you don't you're doing it wrong✌😂 love you all guys .
U.K. 🇬🇧 🫶🏻 👋🏻
That watch is gorgeous! The royal blue is eye catches laid on that gold setting 👌🏻 perfection!!!!
Great Video as always!!!!
👍👍
You guys are what "Family" is all about! Thanks for a great channel.
Thank you my friend! 🙏
@@Crmjewelers man your voice is so annoying.
Love that starfish jewellery 😍 stunning pieces!
Very famine and light looking. Beautiful 👌🏻.
At 43:27 the watch cleaner sales guy is promoting a Swiss brand watch cleaner for $62 + the cost of the towel. Carlos uses soap & water with a toothbrush for free to clean his customers' watches. The sales guy should have done hs homework to know Carlos already has a watch cleaning solution.
Really love the flags on the back of the bike! Appreciate the support!
Once he said South LA that's when you know it's a trash item. That guy knew it was fake and tried to hustle you.
those shorts are fire!!! is that a local place near yall?
at 57 seconds......Eric Lynch...LOL. Long live Eric the actor! RIP little man!
Ack! ack!
You guys are true good people, your going to change the 17 y/o kids life by shouting out his new company and not asking anything in return, much respect to you guys, good to see there are still good people out there!
Thank you James. We love to help others out like that. 🙏
You hear Momma, Poppa is always right. That’s a good woman who knows her man. Though we are not always right, that support wow and the passion in which it was said. I do have that from my wife. Almost 22 years and it is like we just met yesterday to me. Love CRM and all the best to you.
@CRM. How can you tell if a dial has been replaced? And if you change a dial how does that affect the resale value? I bought my first datejust a vintage 16233 champagne dial. I almost bought a 116233 because i prefer the hidden crown bracelet but it had a silver dial. The seller showed me a champagne dial they could put on the 116233. But I wanted my watch all factory. I prefer champagne dials. Can you tell if a dial has been changed and does an after market dial still considered a "real" rolex?
Well put together episode🔥..much appreciate CRM family🙏🙏
Thank you so much Saeed. Have a blessed weekend! 🙏
lmfao at the hublot guy
The one jeweler I’m trying to visit when I go to Miami for the first time.
Thank you my friend. Looking forward to it. 🙏
"The biggest brain?! They gave it to me!!" Hahahaha, love it. Great work guys and gals, keep it up! Wish you the best🙌🤘🙌
👍👍🙏
Haven't even seen the episode yet. As soon as I saw the title, I thought, '' do these people know who the f@#$ they are dealing with?"
It was shocking to us too 🤷
0:52. 😂 Nice to see Eric Lynch aka Eric the Actor from the Howard Stern show sending a great question from his grave 😂. RIP Eric the Actor
I cringed when he rubbed the bracelet with it folded on itself.
Lmao Eric Lynch. RIP to the Eric the Midget actor
Ack! Ack!
That fuggin Batman Picture is too fuggin hard!
Keep it up guys ! I love your content and the super honest CARLOS!
🙏
Eric Lynch comment at the top of the video 🤣
Good video , good honest guy here and it's the only way to go .....Allways be straight with your customers and nearly All will be straight right back and if not you don't need them people!!
Hey CRM! Ive said it many comments prior. You guys are a joy to watch! Ive also said this.. you NEED some other special timepiece brands like some Omegas, IWC, and Breitling in your inventory. You would open up an entire bracket of customers! Start with some rare and prized models like a “Snoopy” Speedmaster, a Navitimer GMT with its E6B bezel(flight calculator), a Big Pilot with the Green dial, etc. this will bring in the $4-$9k customers that also have the $50k for a DD 40 and they will eventually trade in/up or add your higher end brands to their collections. As a loyal subber, i think CRM needs to be just slightly more than the “big 3” brands. Theres already another, younger YT Miami based watch dealer(y’all know em) and theyre like CRM, focusing only on the “big 3”. It limits your customer base tremendously! I know your goal and direction to specialize in high end elite brands, but CRM can grow exponentially if you just carry a few more brands that have strong pedigree…those $4k-$5k, $6k-$9k guys like us are out there ready to spend it! Those brand of watches also can be elite as well! You can have a customer come in and buy his DJ 41…walks past the SpeedMaster on display ….the one that went to the Moon and is continuously used in Space. The one watch that every Aviation Geek and every Baby Boomer wanted in the 60’s and worn in EVERY NASA based space movie to this day will say, “ oh, ive always wanted one of those….il take the Speedmaster too!” Or the guy coming in to buy a $6k Navitimer picks up an DD 40 as well. Ya never know! …you can blow the doors off of CRM. As a fan and future customer soon(SoFlo based), id def be the guy to have more reason to come into the store to see/purchase more variety for my collection knowing theres options for a SeaMaster in the $4k price bracket. Try it out with a “Snoopy” SpeedMaster a Planet Ocean or a SeaMaster Aqua Terra. Youl see! Anyways…sorry for the yapping, sleep deprived.
❤️ yas!
Hi Joe. I agree with you 100%. We definitely we need to add these other "Sub-Big 3" brands to our inventory. Unfortunately, adding more brands would mean that we have to spend a lot more capital on inventory. We are a small, family owned company despite how things may seem on social media. That means that we need to be very selective in what we allocate our limited capital to. Luxury watches, however you spin them, are a high inventory, low profit margin expense. They're beautiful and allow us to make attractive, engaging content with them, but they're still a challenge to work with when your capital is limited. That is why our first priority is to develop e-commerce and additional, higher margin revenue streams coming from non-watch-related jewelry. That would make our business a lot more robust and resistant to recessionary pressures, as well as make it easier for us to add other brands. Please let me know if that made any sense. Sorry for the ramble.
This is what terrifies me if they try to give you guys a fake we’ve no chance
That's why reputation is a big part of all this. 🤷
@@Crmjewelers you bet
Great video!! Question for Carlos: what one watch do you regret selling and wish you kept it and why?
Hi Derek. Can you leave this question in our last community post about the team AMA?
@@Crmjewelers nope
I really love you guys. Ustedes son la fundación de una familia Latina inmigrante que siempre mantiene ese amor y soporte en toda extensión de la palabra. Un beso y siga haciendo lo suyo. U’tede’ son duro’ como se dice en RD. Love you all!
Muchísimas gracias amigo 🙏
It's what I always tell my sales team. Shavings make a pile man.
Charlie, talk more about rolex SD43 and Deepsea James Cameron. Are they difficult to sell?
Love your videos! Thanks
Adverts crazy on this one guys! Jeeeeeeze
We don't mess with that Glenn. UA-cam places ads on the videos based on their algorithm and user behavior.
Or just pay for UA-cam premium..
Its all about limiting liabilities and maximizing cash flow, Most people who have no business sense first think that making it means owning it. Possession and control has a lot to do with it
#TRUTH
I can't believe how similar the Omega watch on gussl is to the original one.
Dads teaching his kids about loss you know one of those kids going to get that watch lifted
Ouch
12 was SUPER strong on that 21 sub. 22's going for under 12 in moda
homie got robbed for 6 watches and stiil hasnt learned when to be on guard.
Re the chrono pen. Sure it worked, but so would any other brush and shammy micro fibre
Hi Carlos, love your channel, so interesting, love the watches, out of my price bracket though but I loved the Leopine shorts, Ill get a pair when I get paid. If I come into some money Ill buy a watch from you.Keep up the great work.
🙏
Wasnt too shocked they was fake 🤣🤦🏻♂️🛎🛎🛎🛎
That gmt is looking clean!
That Cookies jacket is crazy
“And pushes the succulent out” 🤨
Heyyyy every time I go to Miami, I usually stay at the Sofitel and I always make it a habit to visit Gables Cafe a cuban rest, 7360 SW 24th St, Miami, do you know if its still around its been a while for me since last visit..they really have good food there. Love your channel
Thank you my friend. Yes, Gables Cafe is still there. If you ever want to stop by and drink a cafecito with us, we're here for you. 👍😉
@@Crmjewelers my treat...
Hi, CRM. Long time no speak. Hope all is well. Question: Was the GMT an average fake, or a high-end fake? Thanks
Low quality fake just watch the video he explained it ...
Yes, crappy fake.
That crono pen was just ridiculous of a gimmick. No smart person would want that.
Imagine CRM Jewelers having their IPO ? damn.
Haha the guy showing off that the yellow on his watch doesn't match the yellow on his shoes.
Hublot guy gave me sketchy vibes.
I started with a milgauss as my daily beater and a vintage 18k cellini as my dress watch.
Buy what you like and what makes you happy. Stop worrying about what others think...
One of them was real but I would have been so pissed, I would have sent both watches back and told the guy never to contact me again.
That AIS Collective salesman is full of it. No one needs to buy some overpriced cleaning product. The little rant about Japanese and Chinese products is very biased too. The Swiss think they don’t make any mistakes. It’s all marketing talk.
It's scary when they get the cyclops right
The road glide is fire 🔥 those sb's on Carlos too
👍😉
How were you able to tell this gmt was fake? Just curious
Bro I’m from Swansea in South Wales 🏴 I watch you every week too, your family have such a wide fan base you not even aware of!! Big love and god bless you all 💯💯💯
Thank you so much Jack. I really appreciate the love from the other side of the pond. 👍🙏
@@Crmjewelers I feel like my and my fiancé are right there with you all!! Such an inspiring family 💯❤️
That's inspiring for us that you feel that way man. Thank you so much!
I gotta get one of those pens for my job
I have a question for the boys. As someone who wants to get into the watch game, who is in the jewelry market (small time) what’s the best way to start? Consignment to build a virtual collection, or save up to buy small and work my way up? And are you guys hiring because I would pause my life to come sell watches for you guys day and night. You can keep my in the basement and feed me leftover baked shrimp and caviar 😂 you don’t even have to pay me just let me sell watches !
BIG W
Everybody is Pumped!
Food looks good what was the name of the restaurant with the fried fish?
La Camaronera
Big fan. I’ll be in Miami this summer I want to stop in and say hi to Carlos. Seems so down to earth. Just don’t roast my first Rolex, 126900 air king. :)
Come by and say Hi, Mike. Carlos promises not to roast you. 😉
What were you guys looking for on the fake GMT that helped you identify it was fake. This would help us (your viewing audience) as well
Most of the time you can just tell. By the way it feels in your hands, the hour markers, the way it winds, the numbers on the bezels are sloppy most of the time. A combination of all the above
@@nainfuego Correct, the bezel color was off...the blue was very off.
That guy selling the cleaning product has no idea what he's talking about. No one is going to buy that overpriced 'swiss cleaning' shit.
I’m very happy with the purchase from CRM Sandra and the team have incredible service. Im definitely will buy more watches from them in the future. Thank you
Thank you so much my friend for all your support. We're extremely grateful for clients like you. 🙏
The kid should have got 6 guns before the 6 watches. And no bitches in the house, rule #1
I talk like a sailor but not with sales customers! I can’t believe how much the Swiss made cleaner salesman is cursing. Unprofessional….period.
#SimpleGreen for life my brothers.
i love watching these watch shows. But, there is know way in the world I would spend that much on any watch, that just tells TIME. People are just paying for a name, nothing more....But, these shows are very well put together
Got the watch, but Where can I get that Batman Wall clock ?
swizz made microfibre cloth must be good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hublot guy seemed stoned out of his mind. I'm probably wrong, but something about him was off.
There are some very high quality fakes out there. However if an experienced CRM dealer can just look at the watch and spot it is a fake this was not one of them. The question is then if the person selling the watch did not spot it and was supposedly another experienced dealer he is either incompetent or a crook.
Some of these super fakes are almost IDENTICAL, even down to the movement. It’s insane, and scary.
What did you notice on the GMT to know it was fake ?
Great show. I seen that watch was fake just the way she held it was not heavy enough. Looked hinky too. You need to get a TV show.
The Barrichello model I had in 2009. The second model, the first Barrichello was not as nice. Fact, you ask him do you know who he was, and his answer is no, means that the people that buy and can afford these watches have no class. I bet they can’t even button up their shirt 😂 Ps: wearing sunglasses in a shop is so cheap and rude. Is like chewing a gum while you are talking with somebody.
you guys need to do some sneaker vlogs.. you all got that Miami drip!
Great idea! 😉
