    You guys should make this a regular feature. Watch chat was so interesting.

    These guys are the real deal. No flexing bullshit. I stopped watching channels who talk less about watches and more about what fancy car they just bought.

    • @adam_kano

      agreed, and they would talk about the same rolexes all the time

    I enjoyed the dialogue between 2 experienced watch dealers talking the details on each watch! Hope to see more joint collabs throughout 2024.
    P.S. First time seeing Federico talking more then 8 minutes in a video!

    PP rhodium plating cut off was not 2006. There are 2009 production models that were still rhodium plated.

    I had an alligator strap custom ordered from Cartier a few years ago, while expensive, I don’t think it was $500-700 expensive. I’m sure you can go up to that price since they have a ton of options.

    • @johnriesling2207
      @johnriesling2207 5 місяців тому

      unless someone is selling a watch, i never understood buying the OEM gator strap. you can buy good new real gator straps for as low as $15 on the secondary market. you're going to wear it and throw it away some day. might as well buy cheap and buy many different colors.

    8:16 Funny, but Fed’s take here is the common opinion in the watch collector circles from my experience. The moniker “The Wart” comes to mind, though I admit I always get confused if that refers to the Aquanaut or the Nautilus…

    Super interesting vid ya boi, Fed the man! Freaked me out when you popped that bezel too. 😮 😂
    Beautiful GMT and Sub. Also, that Aquanaut is pretty amazing. I’ve never a big fan of the Aquanaut but those older ones with the tritium look damn special (plus, nobody ever got me one for H.S. Graduation 😆).

    Very nice conversation. My "collection" (emotion) is 1960s sports pieces from the Golden Age, but I also have modern ones but these are not "collection" for me, because there is way less emotion, modern ones are more functional). So them exchanging on vintage and modern is very interesting.

    Don't worry about getting an alligator strap from Cartier. Plenty of alligators can be found in Florida around golf courses that will make a donation to the Del Ray strap making company...

  • @dannysimenauer5745
    @dannysimenauer5745 5 місяців тому

    Adam, question about buying a vintage watch with its original papers and adding the box later. Specifically if the watch and papers are dated from 10 or more years ago, and you buy a box made today, does the box add any real value since the age doesn't match?

    • @mentawatches
      @mentawatches  5 місяців тому +1

      Always best to find a period correct box, generally not a crazy expensive endeavor!

  • @frankphilpot3492
    @frankphilpot3492 5 місяців тому +4

    Adam, this just reinforces the fact that you are absolutely the preeminent vintage watch expert.
    Great episode 😊
    The watches were fantastic! Especially the vintage Rolex you have on your wrist and the MB&F LM101😊

    Excuse me, is that an Airstream trunk? What the hell is that and where can I get one?
    PS you should be able to tell the rhodium vs the solid white (grey) gold by the color. Rhodium is extremely white, grey gold has a yellow tinge to it. If you have either that you know for sure to compare against then you should be good to verify it.

    So cool to relax with guys who truly love watches and aren't out to make a quick buck like all those other dealers I still subscribe to. Subscribing to those "other" dealers may change soon in this early 2024...!🤔
    P.S. Love your coffee table "trunk".....so airstream....!!!!

    OK, is no one going to mention the (gray) elephant in the room?!?!?!?!
    Why is that unholy Hodinkee Travel Clock doing front and center in both of your videos.
    A copy of the Le Coultre travel clock that normally costs $80, recreated by Hodinkee for a mere $5,900.
    A clock that inspired so much hate that Hodinkee had to remove it from their website for awhile.

    • @bhopsantiqueshop
      @bhopsantiqueshop 4 місяці тому

      I have a lecoultre travel clock on ebay right now. Seems like a huge bargain for the travel clock enthusiast 😂

    • @mentawatches
      @mentawatches  4 місяці тому

      Yes but…bet you’ve never seen another! Took us awhile to find it :)

    • @milagauss8887
      @milagauss8887 4 місяці тому

      So, what was the reason for displaying it? It is in both videos at different spots in the room. So, it was clearly intentional decision.
