  • you can easily get a rolex 16013 two-tone in Singapore for less than $6500 SGD... which may include box and papers. And yeah, actually watch lovers can tell if it's a semi-vintage watch base on the design alone, lol. The white goal (stainless steel model with gold bezel) is actually a way more timeless look...

    • Well when you have a large collection you can only use one watch of the time so service intervals will increase. I have at any given time at least 50 watches, I buy watches all the time and also sell. Sometimes I service a used watch I buy but very rarely I use a watch so often over the years that it actually needs service. I have a timegrapher to keep track of how a movement is performing.

    • Not really, if you have a large collection you dont have to service that often becausee they don't all get worth that often. Many say you should service only when they stop working.

Even bought it at the Panerai store in Beverly Hills. Rodeo Drive. Brand new. They even gave me an alligator watch band too.

I watched the episode last night from this very store where you treat Adam to a very nice watch (after unceremoniously tossing his old black watch in the trash behind the counter) very decent of the owner to have gone Dutch with you splitting the cost, but as he said, you guys have certainly impacted his business.

  • Some nice pieces - some great brands have lower resale prices and this can be used to your advantage in picking up some serious bargains. Breitling, IWC and Zenith for sure. There is also the advantage that an older watch will have some wear so you don’t need to be as careful as you would be with a pristine new watch. Guys this is win win for sure - enjoy wearing the piece from day 1 and keep a chunk of change in your pocket. Should you not get on with it you can pass it on and not take a bath.

  • I don't have a lot of money and can't buy watches like the ones shown on here but I like the videos and nobody could do a better job at it. Only have a few G-Shock watches and all digital. I likely couldn't use and keep watches as shown on here working very long especially with a 100 pound jackhammer going or working a wood lathe machine and the normal work I do anyway. Anyway I still like looking and seeing amazing watches and never in my life would I have expected a mechanical windup to have its own generator to run something like LEDs in the watch. I always thought that mechanical watches would be a thing of the past. I wish I still had my first digital watch I got when I was younger. I'm sure some of the wealthier people collect retro digital watches but never seen any doing so.
