  • WatchBox Client Advisor Armand Johnston sat down with collectors and friends Josh Polansky and Brian Schnoll to talk the journey of collection building and how they arrived at their current collections. Together they explore the evolution of their collector preferences, the importance of trying on timepieces before buying, and the watches they love from the industry’s biggest names and independent innovators. Among the pieces they discuss are the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Patek Philippe Calatrava, Rolex Daytona, Day-Date, and GMT-Master, and Cartier Tank and Santos.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment and show. I am an actor, Barry Ratcliffe, I guest starred on marvels Hawkeye, and I have been collecting for about six years, and I am so thankful for people like you in this world that are open to sharing and providing such beautiful information about the art of watches. Thank you again so much for lending your expertise and passion for horology

    A conversation about collecting from three people whose different life experiences inform their tastes is good.
    That they are friends who are comfortable enough to riff, agree, and agree to disagree is even better!
    Give us more of these conversations!

      @@skatemeyer also to elaborate for anyone reading the passing comments. The reason hype pieces suck is because you can't wear them out and enjoy the same type of freedom you once did. Also, you start finding that twats start liking the brand and you become associated with fools. There's a good feeling wearing something only a few people like, much like the Seiko crowd was etc

    Totally agree with you guys talking about how Rolex steel and gold just feel somehow different and heavier than other brands. Tim Mosso always says that Rolex steel watches feel like other brands gold, and Rolex gold watches feel like other brands platinum. Seems like everyone on CZcams bashes Rolex, but deep down we all know Rolex just does it better than anyone. They’re like the Toyota of luxury watches.

    Is it just me or has the watch industry and the voices within it really been mentally hoodwinked if they are all raving about the ability to buy products from a company, as being this amazing aspect of a brand. The fact that you CANT just buy a Rolex by walking into an AD doesn’t mean that cartier is doing something special, it means that Rolex, et al; is doing something ridiculous that customers should not tolerate

  • @watchmunch3240

    I would disagree that the market will never change, prices are already tanking. When interest rates going up even more to control inflation and governments around the world needs to pay for COVID by raising taxes, this is when the fun will begin. We are heading for another recession where QE will not work this time.
    Also for me, try things on will be to buy a rep. Wear it for a few weeks or months and buy the gen if you don't like it.
