Andrew's quip about the drop in the Patek 5740/1G's current price vs it's peak price in May 2022 being "a bigger hit than Candle in the Wind, and twice as tragic", is pure comedy gold. His best yet IMHO.
He went out to get smokes. But then they put the price of smokes up drastically, so he had to get a second job which meant he had to go overseas, smokes went up even more… Terrible tragedy.
Paid RRP at my AD for both my Sprite and Tudor Chrono. Never considered flipping them, even at double RRP. That’s not why I bought them. No sympathy for those greedy types that have been left with their trousers around their ankles.
In the olden days, say 2017, you could possibly get 5% off on stainless, 10% on bimetallic, and 15-20% on gold. Speaking as a return customer. No discount on Daytona
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch 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.
And this video Andrew is why I followed you over from WF. Best commentary, absolutely top comedy and your quotes...lmfao! Far too many to list but some below have isolated a few of the best! Awesome as always...long live AMW!
MaMaCoo You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
Great Video, loved it. BUT I did have a laugh when you reviewed the VC watches - as I own both of them. When I purchased the O/S it wasn't a hype/popular piece. I brought the O/S from the local AD several yrs ago, it was in the display window, and straight away I said that is a great watch - went back a week later and brought it. Got the 222 late in 2022, and it's also a great watch. I would prefer the hype went away- as hopefully it is. Both great watches and plan to keep em for ever. Funny how one can end with hype pieces without trying .
Well most of this is because Grand Seiko inventory (new and used) are heavily traded in Japanese yen, which is now at a 40 year low against the US Dollar. So the question is... will the Japanese yen fall even more? That will automatically discount the GS further.
@@thelifeofpablo6626 Yes that's true, in Europe if importing a watch from Japan as an individual then the savings aren't much. But, with the weak yen -- a ton of "tourists" buy watches for cheap in Japan tax-free, fly back to Europe without declaring them to customs and then flip these watches to grey market dealers. So the overall market still depreciates.
I have no idea where you come up with all the analogies but they’re always gold 😂 it’s like you have deep knowledge of everything to make these connections 😂😂😂
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the mamacoo, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
I watched Watchfinder channel, and didn't know you left already. That's why I had different 'feels' with the narration over that channel. anyway good luck with this Channel Andrew!
Great content Andrew, loving the new direction since you began flying solo. Watchfinder was good too but it was a channel I used more for education. Where AMW is a place I’m entertained regardless of watch content.
Just love the way you present yourself and those watches, I was into both high end whiskies (going up steady) and fine watches, I am glad I drop watches to concentrate on whiskies as with you confirming how much watches dropped after the false inflations… knew it was coming soon or later.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 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.
Have a look at the GP Laureato. The Gen 1 pieces were 1200 despite being twice that new. GP is always half when you walk out the store they say, but the Laureto was one I never saw that cheap. Roland Ranff (RIP) told me about this.
Black bay chrono is crazy it's like people bought these as a substitute for the Daytona, I've got a good relationship with my AD, I wanted to start customer profiles for my step sons, I took the eldest last year for his 21st and this year the second eldest turned 21 and was adamant he wanted the chrono and I sourced him an absolutely mint pre owned for sub 3k, what a steal and if he wants a rolex of something less obtainable down the line I'll just get it on my account
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.
You’ve mixed the new and discontinued Daytona platinum, showing the graph of the discontinued version but photos of the current model with transparent case back, which trades at a much higher premium.

Jabbing Ocon is always gold when it comes to clicks. One video of him clipping Charles in the Miami F1 pitlane after disregarding his mechanic’s stop sign got over 8 million views on IG and over 3 million on TT. “5 second penalty for Ocon”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've got a 222 and the gold Overseas with blue dial, and i really couldn't care less about the resale price is. I've even got another VC on order. Basically if the resale price of a watch bothers you, you can't afford it,
@@killsbugsfastreallfast Agree. My point is that purchasing something utterly useless like a mechanical watch shouldn't come at a cost that even slightly concerns one. I only buy watches - I don't sell - so when I purchase a $75K watch I've already mentally written off that amount. When I'm gone my wife may be more interested in the resale value, but I won't be worrying about it... 😏
@@richardpeters4086I don’t doubt it. It’s just that I became excited when I saw the gold Overseas, but then remembered that even with a price drop, it wasn’t going to happen. Good on those for whom it can. 👍🏻
The V.C 222 will always do well. I tried finding a new one for 4 years and then gave up. These plummeting watch prices is one of the reasons Anthony Farer (Timepiece gentleman) got in trouble. He was buying some watches for 200K then when they dropped to 75K he lost his shirt.
@@yeraulddah3982I believe coz it's due to watches being speculated as "investment".... My opinion is that they should not be treated as investment to make money but more of an investment into the person's experience and joy of wearing them.
The IWC Petronas is absolutely hideous. How can you seriously have a meeting and think that this is a great design? Please try harder next time. Thanks.
how do you feel about the future value of the GMT II with Meteorite dial? It's feeling for $54K US, a full $10K over MSRP.... is this going to sustain going forward?
Or you could do what I did and buy a model that flys under the radar… Just picked up a new unworn Sea Dweller 43 for $700 AUD over retail. And in my view it is the best Rolex made. Absolutely stoked!!!
I can’t have a Chronograph with only 30 min sub register, every event I usually time including my commuting is more than 45 min, the only thing under 30 are cooked to perfection 12 min ribeye steaks 😂

As ever Andrew, you made me watch the upload all the way to the end despite there not being one watch I was interested in. Good work fella :)
love that you've brought the same level of wit and humor as what previously made the watchfinder channel famous!

Got a never worn Tudor Panda full set last month for 4k$, added an evergreen rubber strap & Nirvana
“…and a 5 second penalty for Ocon.” Best joke of the video 😅😂
Fun fact, Ocon receives a 5-second penalty even when you think Ericsson hit you. (to get the joke even more niche)
Hahaha was just about to say the same thing.
Quite liked the swimming pool Platinum joke too 🤣
Very entertaining commentary. I hope your channel continues to be a great success
Probably your best video yet - and I couldn’t keep up with the puns!
They haven't hit the bottom yet. When all Rolex are available at 30% off boutique discount, then we're dancing.
You will be waiting a long time for Daytonas to be available at 30% discounts. Maybe lady DJs (ie the 36mm models).

The Cash reference makes me wonder if a VC employee ever brought a 222 home one piece at a time.
One of your best and wittiest video yet. You made me laugh out loud a couple of times.
What an amazing outcome for a beautiful watch. Always a pleasure to see amzwatch work your magic. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us!
I buy a watch for the watch, not for profit
Same here.
And that's exactly how it should be.
100%
Totally agree
But a lot of people for these were jumping on the "investment" bandwagon
If you want an investment, buy stocks, bonds, start a buissness

My dream watch has always been a Daytona but I have to say I love that omega speed master, it’s beautiful
I concur. I love the Speedie in most of its iterations - even the Snoopy SE, but, as a bit of a purist I favour the original moon watch version.
@@thesummerthatwas76 I must confess the Snoopy is becoming more appealing.

Grand Seiko has taken a pounding. Waiting for the white birch to drop a bit more ..
Has the snowflake plummeted as well?
And that's a Sad Truth Andrew didn't mention. GS, at 50% below RRP is about right!

Spending such amounts on a watch is modern idolatry. I don't mean that figuratively.
