MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO: share.epidemics...
Shoutout to everyone chasing the dream. Since last year I've cleaned up my act, living more frugally and am halfway towards the deposit I need to buy my first house. I know some people have billions and can invest in amazing watches but for me to stop renting is a huge deal and I'm very proud of myself because I know I can get there. Watching these videos helps keep me motivated too! So thanks and good luck to everyone, aim high!
Congrats man keep it up
FANTASTIC !!!! Go & stick to your dreams & make them real....YOU CAN DO IT !!!
Good job brother
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the positive comments!
The real profit is wearing your Rolex everyday and enjoying it.
As a Rolex owner, I completely agree. Well said my friend👍!
Looking at your wrist and appreciating the brillant time piece . I feel u sir indeed i do.
True
Amen to this😆😄😄
Exactly! My grandfather bought a Rolex Submariner REF# 1680 in 1970. He Never took it off until 1984 and gave it to my dad when he graduated. My dad never took it off as well until he passed it along to me which was when I graduated in 2014. I haven’t taken it off, except for servicing. Now it’ll be passed to my son when he graduates! Keeping the family tradition going! Love my watch, not just because it’s a Rolex, but because of who wore it.
Seth is a top honest guy, who knows his trade very well. Love the videos in his shop .
Fuck you
No thanks i am straight.
I have a submariner that was purchased by my grandfather in Switzerland in 1970 for $300 bucks. Its now worth $13K.
CME4 Sheepdogs nice man 👍
That's a keeper for sure
$300 in 1970 is about $1,980 today, still a great buy ( or is it overvalued today? )
@@tonysmith6849 I think its because they call it "vintage". But about 10 years ago it was worth about $3K. So, it's gaining in value. Which is nice.
@@outabeat Out of curiosity, how often does a watch of this caliber need to be "maintained" by Rolex, and how much would that cost?
The more you spend, the harder it is to tell the time.
iPhone
@@ele7d exactly, its like buying art. All the craftsmanship and hours that have gone into making such a piece, thats what you pay for.
Ha, good observation. They put so much crap on the face it becomes a bit ridiculous.
Can't agree more
Brandt L haha
UPDATE: That Rolex Hulk was discontinued by Rolex this year at Basel World. The resale value (overnight) went from 12-14K to 17-25K depending on reference year.
Lmao came to the comment section looking for someone to say your exact words 😂
I just watched a video where Michael bought the Hulk as a gift for someone about 3 months later for $12,500. That person is happy.
How do you tell which reference year is better or worse?
Update it’s now 25-35k
UPDATE: It’s now around $20k in 2023
Richard Mille... Great looking watch... Yeah, if you're going for that whole "Legoland gift shop" look.
As a reference, Michael thinks Jacobs are nice lol. Flashy dresser with tons of money, but not really one that falls under 'traditional class'
The value of Richard Mille watches are going to crash and burn in the future. Once their design is out dated their value is going to drop like a rock.
haha i can see that
They also don't hold their value. Same as Jacob & Co those are just to make a statement of "I have fuck you money".
One of the worst brands - can hardly see what time it is!
If donald trump had a love child with austin powers. Groovy baby.
Ha nice one
🎯
😂😂😂
Hhaha
Haha, you made my day...
Can’t get enough of Producer Micheal and Adam such a genuine team!!! Love it
''I dont have one of these...I have a white gold diamond one'' classic.
Michael humblebrags so well
Forget about investments that's what makes you a snob, go for what you like
Paul Knowles Hey Paul, how are you doing
Michael seems like a really nice guy - not looking down his nose on people less fortunate or resourceful than himself. Basically the kind of guy that treats everyone equally well. Undoubtedly an ability that's instrumental in his success in life.
Perfect submarinerstore , cant say more, its just perfect
Michael, please can you do a video on how i can get money first?
same question here
@RS2002 have you used your methods?
TheRunningSloth. Real estate investing is a good option for creating wealth, especially if you want to have control over your investment, compared to relying on the stock market to do well with your money.
I think He’s referring to the BRRRR method: Buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat. Buy property below market value, add value, find tenants, refinance to pull equity out, use that equity to repeat the process.
Definitely works if done right.
yesss
Go wash cars and slowly start hiring people.
Just hit my first milestone this year after 20 years and Michael, you are exactly right. Work very hard, doing something you love and the world is yours! I just bought two of my favorite Panerai watches, who knows what awaits in the future. Love your channel!
When he says “stop it” all I can think is Austin Powers... 😂
My Submariner model 1680 has gone up significantly in value. I still wear it every day, and would highly recommend any of the older Submariners. It is not flashy. Can be dressed up or down, and overall is a fantastic timepiece.
Great video. This gentleman is a great salesman and he doesn’t offend people like Yoshi or whatever his name was. People should enjoy buying watches from this place. He also educated us a little bit on the subject.
At least Yossi Dina has good merchandise. This guy sells pre-owned stuff at exorbitant prices, many without box and papers. Check out their website - I'd never buy here.
Yep. I have to agree with you here. I feel that you could work a lot easier with this man.
aeroAdvocate Dina’s stuff was also used, but served “cold.” The guy had no class.
Lmao how does Yossi offend people?
@@pollutedmindmusic snowflakes get offended easily by anyone that doesn't kiss their ass, I'm assuming that's how lol
Watches are definitely an emotional purchase. I get a tiny buzz when I'm at Macy's and find a nice replacement for my Casio at $14.99
Lol
Wow you spend over 100k on a watch that’s insane lucky man! I just totaled my vehicle in a hit and run and I’m stressed over that. Crazy the difference in how people live. Your a blessed man!!
I have the exact same 20 yr old Rolex Sub in steel. I think the key to a watch retaining its value is maintaining the service of the watch. If you don’t maintain the watch it will degrade and lose the crisp operation of the watch. It is always great to see Seth and learning from his background. Thanks Michael for finding this gem of a person and exposing us to him...
One thing I like about this video with Zeth and Michael is that it's educational. One of these days, If I do have enough money, I will definitely go to Zeth's store to buy some pre-owned watches.
This guy, I assume who owns “essential watches”, really knows his stuff
e99783 he’s been selling watches since he was a kid. He started selling swatches on eBay when he was in middle school and moved up from there.
Salesman completely disregarding time value of money, inflation and + Opp. Costs...
Dustin Di Iulio yup
Dustin Di Iulio it’s also something you use and enjoy during that time though
The usd value has gone down about half of what it was 30 years ago. So yeah inflation rate does account for profits and losses but he's a salesmen. He's there to get you to buy watches not help you with your finances. The fact of the matter is that he doesn't know what will be popular in 10+ years. All of these watches could be out of style soon and we wouldn't know.
This video is so dumb. And so are the comments. It's like listening to pre-schoolers explain why the sky is blue.
"This watch cost more than it did 30 years ago".
"WHAT?????🤤🤤 NO WAY!! subscribe".
Making 5k for putting 20k down over five years. Totally ridiculous!
Love the guy who educates about the watches. Seem like a honest guy. I would buy watches from him.
Michael I love you but I can't even afford a new battery for my Fossil watch HAHAHA
That's really bad haha
Well if it is a joke then it is fine but if it were real life, i think you should reconsider what the fuck have you been doing all your life to not afford a fucking battery
If you can’t afford a battery, you probably don’t have a job and you probably have no fix appointments so what do you need a watch for? Use the device that you uploaded your comment with :)
What a shame
I cant afford for casio poor problems hahahahahah
This guy looks like Donald Trump's eccentric brother
@@Nahzuul Love Donald Trump's decisions for our country. At least he is not someone who will double our National Debt as Obama did. Or HRC who would rather commit treachery than breathe air. Or Bill Clinton who sold US Missile secrets to the Chinese.
RIGHT? HAHAHAHAHAHAH IM DEAD
He is amazing, fantastic, briliant, if I were a woman I'd kiss him
Gay
@@Closeoutracer dont run with politics on this one. hes trash. there, we cancel eachother out, moving on.
Does inflation not exist? How can something “hold value” if it’s price remains the same over a 20 year period.
Yeah. If it is the same price as it was 20 years ago then that actually means it lost value.
Well, yes and no, in those 20 years you had the opportunity to wear and enjoy the watch, and then still sell it for the same amount of money you bought it for. Objectively, due to inflation the watch technically did lose in value, but subjectively you won’t feel this as you got to wear it, and still sold it for the same amount of money.
I bought my slightly used Submariner with ceramic bezel and date 4 years ago for 6k.I was going to take the Daytona next to it for $9500. Now my submariner is going for 10k and the Daytona for 18k. Il never sell any of my watches but its cool to see it not only look the same but to be worth more.
Love essential watches. They’re one of the best brokers in the biz
Mr Carlos @Carlos_1uptrades has helped me and my family abundantly. I really wished I had known him earlier by now I know I would have made more than enough. I invested with him and made $6,000 in a week trade reach him @Carlos_1uptrades to start earning also.

4 minutes in, I'm tipping they're a second hand watch dealer
Agree

The jeweler that sold me my first Rolex about twenty years ago told me that if you buy a Rolex, you will never lose money. Thus far my two tone Rolex Sub with the diamond dial and blue sapphire 6, 9, 12 was around $5,000. I’m certain that I could get that today! I’ve worn it carefully and to date I don’t have a scratch on it and have loved every minute I wore it. Michael, Seth, you have been spot on with you advice the entire time you have had the channel.
Hey Michael I’m 16 and your such an inspiration. Please keep making videos, I love them all.
no one asked tho
Go study kid

@@carlo_g_1014 i hope u get rich,but more than that i wish u a happy life
Michael and the camera men are a solid duo.. there's nobody like them on youtube
Proud owner of a 116610lv. Discontinued 2020 hulk 🤙 green is my favourite colour
I like these kind of videos jewelry and watches
Seth is great, very on the ball. -Should do more vids with him in future. Maybe a different setting though that shop a bit dingy
Seth is also completely disregarding inflation and repair costs... "This watch was 4K 20 years ago, and it's 4K today, so it retains it's value" which is a completely bullshit statement. Inflation causes money to lose value over time, meaning that 4K watch would today be priced at around 6K since the dollar has lost value and normal items have become more expensive.
I have had a bad go with watches , I am 53 and bough a $600 Citizen Eco Drive t 200 mtrs wr and the max of my budget I loved it . Approx 2 weeks later I helped my dad lift a lounge through his back door and scratched it deeply on the brick work. It was never the same so I took it to a pawn shop and got $90 for it ,and I had the papers and certificate for it.Then my Bro bought me a Rolex ,I guess copy and when I put my jacket on ,the sleeve had a zipper on it and my fault, It went over the winder and as I stretched my arms it pulled the winder pin out and I didn't know .Now that watch is sitting in front of me now . I have only worked as a shit kicker but I do have have a lot of valuable hobbies but always sell too cheep as I have health issues ..We will leave it at that .Your videos are fantastic ,please keep them coming Kind Regards ,Bradley..
also love this shop owner! such good entertainment
Always wanted a sub mariner ever since my grandad had one as a kid because he was a huge James Bond fan. My grandad kept his on the classic black and grey nato strap
James Bond wore Omega Seamaster, not Rolex
Shawn Powers The newer Bonds wear seamasters but previous Bonds did wear Rolex.
@@kingpowers93 Sean Connery wore a rolex sub. lol. Omega is only recent.
In 2019 you wouldn't get the rolex submariner 16610 for 6,500 dollars no way!
Don't let this fool you, watches are almost never a good means of investment outside of a small handful of models that increased in value because of marketing.
Consider that if you buy a watch as an investment, you can't use it, meaning you can't enjoy it. Plus, watches require servicing and care. It's easy for Michael and the store owners to hold them, but they're highly educated on the subject and enjoy/do it professionally.
Plus, Michael is friends with store owners that will sell it to him for a fair price. In reality, you will be very hard pressed to find non-shady dealers who will sell you without a high premium.
There just a watch no better than a Casio in relation to time accuracy
Honestly I've just been looking for a reason to buy a watch that I can't afford, and I think this might be it.
it's amazing listing to the pricing from 2 years ago they are like half price from today's pricing
.
An entertaining episode, Michael, but I would have loved to hear more about the Patek’s and Rolexes test were highly collectible.
Great job Michael and Adam! love the fact that Michael still concerns about resale value. This shows that regardless of how rich you are, you still need to be wise when spending money. I am also impressed with how Seth can remember all his watches prices.
The resale only matters when it comes to people like Michael who buys and sells.
Very entertaining and informative. I enjoyed Michael, Seth and Adam. Great personalities, all of them. I started watching this video awhile ago and finally got back to it. After watching I subscribed.
seth. I love this guy. very down to earth watch seller, very honest. I like him a lot. thank you for this video guys. x
Is it just me or is Michael killing it with that jacket? Cool jacket!
Shay I have to agree the jacket he‘s wearing is fire 🔥
Depends what your style is.. I wouldn’t wear any of the flamboyant outfits he does
He does seem like a naff merchant, but a nice guy, all the same.
@MrKayaker69 I personally wouldn't wear it, not my taste. But I think it's stylish in a unique way. Definitely suits Michael.
Hi Michael it’s Paul from Melbourne Australia, just went to a Rolex and other brands dealer in new and used watches, a used with box and papers never worn 2022 Rolex submariner the shop is asking $35,000 Australian dollars. My jaw dropped. That’s $26,038 USD, Brand new on is just under $13,000 Australian and just under $10,000 USD. My life dream is a Rolex watch. Love yours and Adams work.
Richard Mille cost a Lambo

Always keep the baddest bitches on commando (salute)
guess what, both will depreciate lol
Every time i'm in my trap i move like Rambo
What about Omega Moonwatches ? It would be super cool to have a episode about those, love that watch!
You can get them on the grey market cheaper than retail brand new .
They seem like a relative bargain. You won’t make money, like a Subbie, but it’s a cool watch with a great genuine back story. I’ve seem them, new, for £2600 new in the last 6 months.
@@itsallrobbish where were they £2600??? I want one

There was a waiting list for the Rolex Daytona, 15 - 20 years ago.
Omega Speedmasters are a good buy
Which ones? I own the professional and the Olympic model.
This video will be the benchmark of all watch investing videos. Perfectly done,
Omg I was wishing to see this store again thank you Michael
I like these kind of vids ... ya know , shopping and stuff , not the house tours or wtv
Hi Michael, bought a watch today from Seth. We spoke for a bit on the phone. Turns out we had dinner together two years ago (lots of people there) in LA. We didn't know each other but over 2 years later through your video we figured out that connection.
This is a Casio G shock, it starts at $130....you can get into them at about 50% of retail.
AlabamaPanther 1776 you’d be surprised what some G-Shocks are worth
$120k
Is the most expensive g shock watch made so far custom
I have two and I love them both. Damn near indestructible i get compliments on my gold and black one all the time
Notification squad!!! I’ve been waiting for this video!
leeets go :D
Haha
I might never be able to afford one of these watches but I love watching this show.
never say never !
i’ve been watching michael for years. 2 months ago my “dream” watch was a 2,000$ bulova. This week i purchased my first ever rolex, a 41mm datejust jubilee with factory diamonds in the face purchased at essential watches. Seth was my salesman and i told him i wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for michaels inspiration. I genuinely never believed i would get to this point. I thought i’d have a rolex one day in my 30s... and I just turned 24, and it was always just a dream to me. As the guy said before me.. never say never!
24:48 the guy almost flings the watched across the room xD
Michel u should have been an actor ...u look majestic like the definition... OF A GENTLEMAN...UR AWSOME
She was Austin powers...how did you not know that. How do you think he made his money.
Monish Nasa yeah he’s the character that mike Meyers modeled Austin Powers after. The producer of SNL is who he modeled Dr Evil after.
Oskar Jakobsen you’ll get the joke soon
He’s a Gene Wilder lookalike :)
Awesome*
I bought a 2010 2 tone diamond dial daytona new for 13.5k. sold it this year for 25k.
I wore the hell out of my Rolex watch for 10 years and sold it for a 11.5k profit.
Can't go wrong with Rolex.
I would be happy with any watch 🤣
⁰⁰
Get a g shock, they're god-teir mate.
00:45 thank you Seth and Producer Michael.
The Batman, Rootbeer, and Pepsi Cola GMT are going up in value and the hottest Rolex in demand currently. Not to mention the white and black ceramic dial Daytona.
Buy Adam the Rolex Submariner Michael. Its only $6,500....that's pocket lint for You.
Adam wants to buy his own watch. He doesn’t want a gift.
Daan Made in Holland how do you know?
As a joke Michael should get Adam a good fake rolex and gift it to him in a video and watch if Adam notices its a fake. LOL
Hah okay so you become a millionaire and treat $6,500 like pocket lint, we'll see how far that gets you.
@@KiLLahD48 I said it because they always joke about "5K" for stuff.
The Rolex is slightly higher & it'll keep raising in value so it'd make a wonderful gift.
Rolex Submariner-The Hulk i love it
not avail
I bought a Tag Heuer. 10350 $ retail. Brand new with 28% discount.
People call me stupid, because for that money I would get a Rolex. What they don’t understand is that I didn’t wanted a Rolex, I wanted this watch.
Too expensive for a Tag? I don’t care! I love the watch, I enjoy the watch and I will never sell it.
I got a very good deal, so I’m super happy.
Such a fun video, yet really informative. Top marks again. Regards from England.
rolex sports model ie daytona, batman, hulk, pepsi, coke, rootbeer!
1 year later and hulk prices went to the moon
Seth is such a Rolex guy. He never ever mentions Omega...
For a reason. I'm an Omega guy and it's awesome that the brand is now back with full vengeance offering insane watches at a great price. Imo Omega watches are better than Rolex in terms of design and quality (within the same price bracket).
But in terms of resale value, ALL Omegas will lose money. This is why some people like Seth won't bother with Omega.
Omegas don't hold its value
Brian Herren Lol. So right!
@@alexl6433 Hence the title of this video.
Melrose Avenue shopping spree please ♥️🔥
You are requesting this in almost every video! Damn. Do it Producer Micheal 🎉
yes
For me the best rolex is the cellini prince 5441/9 ... Speaking recently with a great collector he told me that the little appreciated 2005 prince collection will be the strong point of future investment for rolex ... The prince has a good caliber 7040 manual and is the first the only one in the history of Rolex with a visible case back
OK has retained its value, but it has to be calculated and the 9,000 dollar inflation 20 years ago is about $ 14,000 in 2019.
I've been thinking the same stuff !! In the early 1960s you could go to the movies for 50 cents and a load of bread was like 50 cents. My parents would take us out to eat at Mac Donalds for 40 cents for a hamburger that costs what today? Plus we went
to the movies after the hamburgers, try that today.
Rolex sport have gone up in value significantly more than inflation since 1960s.
Michael, you must be British Rock Star to afford these time pieces! That's right, Keith Emerson is still alive!😂
If you save $200 a month for 3 years you can afford a submariner. It's just a matter of opportunity cost. You have to decide in life where you want your money to go, but realistically anyone with spending discipline can save up to buy a Rolex.
A real guy with real information. Just subscribed. NUFF SAID!!!
Michael lives a life that is Rich and enjoyable both!
in some cases if a watch has already gone up too high in price there is chance that it has reached its limit and it stops growing in price.
Of all the Watch/Jewellery people you feature on this channel Seth is by far my favorite. Cheers!
What about the BLNR (Batman)? In the space of 5yrs since release its doubled in value - and will go even higher now that the Oyster has been discontinued!
Yup, they've jumped in price by $2000 on the grey market in the last week.
This guy should be working at Yossi Dina's ... Will definitely be good for his business 😁.... Heck I want to buy one, even though can't afford one.😝
We’re Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band... We hope you have enjoyed the show... J/K Michael. You are a wonderful find today!
My dad got a submariner like maybe 15 years ago for like 1.1k it's worth like 10k+ now easy.
Yeah, and what about the best investment car? I'm pretty sure a used car salesman could give you some good tips too!
Bro, u nailed it haha....
The tips in that video from the sales person were bang on. Some watches will be worth nothing while others will hold their value. He even tells you that some are for buying with the heart. He is honest.
The missing piece is inflation and there's not even a nod toward it.
I'm confused. The seller didn't say anything about the HYT watch (15:53) which has two small pumps pumping the green liquid around. Its relatively unknown but a really cool watch with a never before seen movement.
If you wear that old submariner (5 digit) you have so much more style because it's a lot more elegant then the bulky new one imo.
As an FYI to anybody wondering: $3500 in 1999 would be roughly $5275 today.
Never thought that shopping for watches could this entertaining... good job!
Never seen Michael in the same clothes twice
BigD u should see his closet tour
He keeps the tags on, and takes them back to the shop next day!
But he did! czcams.com/video/zxxvXMd6YLE/video.html and czcams.com/video/vNxs6Fw29Gc/video.html
Wrong, he wore the same black and red jacket in his XMAS video
we miss Peter Marco
PAS he’s to busy hanging out with Floyd Mayweather
I told him in one of his Instagram posts and he replied to stay tuned
King Pin juicy
I cannot imagine how cozy does this spancky new jacket feels with the shoes, pants and the strap. Like a ski suit.
Put 6.5k in to a watch, wait ten years and make 1.5k....seems a poor return to me
Mr S see what your saying however there talking about owning a watch, enjoying it and not paying for that as it will go up in value........ so it’s good value. That’s the point
@Top Dog investing in IRA funds is a wiser decision than putting the money into the bank/credit union if you're looking for a moderate return on your investment. Banks pay very little interest
The point of wearing a watch and the price increasing is really an investment. It may not return you 50% but it will give you the experience of wearing a real watch.
@@aakashkedem6372 "real" watch, expensive watches doesnt make it any more real than 50$ watches.
It's not really an investment, but it's not a loss, that's what's so special about these watches. Most luxury items lose value over the years. 99% of cars, forget about it, terrible investments. As opposed to just putting the money in the bank, you can always wear the watch and enjoy it.
have to get my timex valued, I could be sitting on a gold mine
The fact you don't already know the value shows how little importance it is.
U might be I hope so
I never understood why dealer's day Franck Mueller watches are dead I have a Sub a Sub no date AP etc. But when I wear my Casablanca I get TONS of compliments!!!
Go for a Grand Seiko if you’re looking for a good investment watch! GS watches are top notch quality and better than most Swiss luxury watches.
I agree.
Don’t kid yourself just because they’re cheaper, Swiss watches are serious quality
Thank you for doing this video, I’ve learnt a lot!
Looking back this guy was right about everything
Being in the watch industry i love this video. All facts were spoken. Great content.
hey! this is a sort of unexpected comment but why not. i'd like to know if I could ask you some questions on how you got into the watch industry, it is a lovely area and it definetly is a place im aiming to go to.
