Hey teddy i'm 17 and just got my first mechanical watch. I look at it everyday and feel so happy.
That’s fantastic! Enjoy it and thank you for watching!
Happy birthday! 🎉🎉🎉 What kind of watch did you get? 😎👍
i'm 117 and still haven't got my 1st Mechanical watch 😢 .. fml 😭 ......... 😂
What watch did you buy ?
@@mono_log_ which watch did you get 😎👍
I appreciate Rolex for what it used to be in the 1990s when I first got mine: a tough, well made, accurate and reliable tool watch that had a bit of status, but nothing too flashy. Just simple, understated quality. That you could go into any jeweller in New York, Copenhagen, London, Sydney or Hong Kong and get - at worst - at retail and quite likely a 20% discount. But a combination of brilliant Rolex marketing, increasing wealth throughout the world and clearly not too great increase in Rolex production numbers has seen us land where we have been for the past ~15 years...
Exactly.
Teddy, I'm not sure what I would have don't without this channel. It has completely opened me up to a new hobby. Over the last year I've amassed a watch collection I'm very proud of. Thank you for inspiring new young collectors like me!
I really enjoy that Teddy spends time on these subjects and not just the latest hot movements - it really is food for thought and I love it thank you Teddy!
If Hublot had all the visible screws in their watches aligned symmetrically and / or orderly, it would help their reputation and image tremendously
The thing is they are actually screws. AP has fake ones.
The finishing isn't great, and I've heard stories of the inside of the crystal in Big Bangs getting condensation when worn in the rain.
why would you want the screws aligned... i mean do you even know it is inspired by porthole. even ap royal do not have aligned screws(check the caseback before you scream...)
@@jordanbell4420 total bullshit, I own two and wear them in the ocean all the time.
@@chancebanana These people have never seen a porthole. If Nico is foaming at the mouth about something, it must be true.
Side note- when I went to Las Vegas a few months ago…the Hublot AD was the nicest staff…showed me anything I wanted to try on….the guy was a watch guy…some of there pieces were surprisingly very beautiful….
Idem à Genève ou à Cannes. Ont est toujours super bien reçu dans une boutique Hublot. Et toujours beaucoup de choix si on veut prendre une montre le jour même.... essayez dans une boutique rolex...
50% of the Hublot hatred in the world is because of Nico Leonard 😐
And 100% of it is because those people never had a Hublot on their wrist for a while.
I hate hublot cause their screws don't line up and some of their watch cases have plastic in them
@@ohbennyboy Thats not a Hublot specific thing. Most of the brands have this. In Cartier watches screws don't line up as well, yet it is considered a class brand. In a lot of rolex watches crown is not symmetrical, it is in a tilted state, yet Rolex is Rolex. There r a lot of reasons to hate Hublot but these r not the ones as these issues r with most of the companies.
No. 100% of hublot shit watches created nico
Hublot passes off cheaper movements you can get in much cheaper watches as something special. Then they just have guady af designs.
Excellent points Teddy, appreciate your comments about Rolex‘s lack of transparency. 👏🏽
Every point hits the mark; your grasp of these issues and your willingness to address them so candidly speaks very well to your character. But this is all now - I'd love to hear your thoughts on the next 5-10 years.
big marketing problem for me are the 2022 wearers of rolex (influencers, investors, shady people in general).
Investor is now a negative term? I do agree on the last part though. If someone is selling a quick rich scheme, he'd be wearing a Rolex as social proof of his "success".
@@phoenix5054 not investors in general but people that buy a rolex just by investment thoughts. i agree on you though, the quick rich wearers repell me a lot too.
About Rolex and innovation I would say what I saw on other leading brands in other segments. They usually fail when trying to innovate because of their own huge heritage. It is not they do things wrong. Customers expect from them exactly what they do like a Fender stratocaster or a Rolex daytona. Love your content by the way Teddy. Great job.
I picked up two Shinola watches, one for me and one for the Mrs, over 5 years ago. They were in a Nordstrom Rack store and I talked the guy into selling both to me for $300. Sticker price for these two quartz watches was over $800 at the time. We really like them, mine is a PVD squared face, and works great. I would look at places like that as you can often find them reduced in price.
I'm the proud owner of the INVICTA Pro Diver. It is in my regular wrist time rotation. Even as "cheesy" as it is, I love it.
The issue with Shinola is that it was affordable. Most people who live and work in Detroit could not afford anything they offer other than maybe the leather baseball. They should have an affordable brand that the working person can afford., Shinola meant quality and affordability back in the day. Today it represents the gentrifier, the outsider and developer who doesn’t live in the city but exploits it.
BOOM!
Excellent explanation and breakdown of this.
yeah, I went into a store the other day and wanted to get a nato strap. $80!!
@@joseherrera8489 At first, I was like, “$80 doesn’t sound too bad…” And then I remembered we’re talking about Shinola here
@@vincent67239 Haven't tried their nato straps, but their leather quality is far better than the majority of the brands out there.
Hi Teddy I really like your videos because you share your perspective instead of just stating the specs. Can you please do a video to discuss the popularity of Rolex and the hype that is causing an increase in watch robberies across the US, especially in California? I feel like many people work hard to own a Rolex but then realized how dangerous it is to wear them in public. The watch then just gets stored to keep safe. What are your thoughts about wearing luxury watch in public in the current climate? I know many people who owns a Rolex but won't wear them because of fear for their safety. Thanks
I love my Shinola Runwell. It looks great and runs well :) I'm from Michigan and appreciate that they employ something like 400 people in Detroit regardless of what their marketing issues may have been. Also they have a couple of outlet stores where you can find some great values. I'm sure someone will have a problem with that, but it is one way to cater to the more price conscious and get good watches onto more wrists.
They make shoe polish
I'm not American, and I don't care where a watch is made in, so i dont really care about any controversy. Thing is, other watches in the price range are either bad or ugly for the most part. Runwell has a simple but elegant design, it runs well, and is reasonably sturdy, that's why I love it.
I pretty much agree with all you points. Great video as always
Thanks so much! With Panerai, going down to very small amounts of WR on what are essentially iconic dive watch designs on some models, and generally what seem like cost-cutting measures, while having a watch priced well above the Omega range, is one that's turned me off. With Rolex, yeah, everything you already said, and just what flex culture has done with Rolex, and how Rolex has *handled* their well-earned success with what feels like less than, well, class, and honesty...as much respect as I've had for Rolex historically, and as much as I love some of their watches, for now, they've really soured on me.
beautiful presentation😊 simple, honest and straight forward
You could’ve called it “when marketing ruins a brand”. All three brands with a perception problem put all their eggs in the marketing basket. Hublot did it too early, Panerai reach it’s pinacle and fell down to earth unable to get past the image and Rolex is up in the high atmosphere waiting for the fall (gonna make the biggest crater when it hits the ground). All three brands attract customers with socially unsavory traits. It’s very hard to escape that trap after you fall into it.
Mate you’ve no clue what you’re talking about.. Rolex made and continue to make some of the most collectible and sought after pieces that attract the most established of watch collectors out there… just look at how much some of the vintage models fetch at watch auctions. All brands rely on marketing but marketing can only get you so far if your product and how it’s presented aren’t solid enough. Rolex been on top long before this madness started and it’s not going to bulge.. wishful thinking on your part.
Rolex absolutely will not crash and burn. The very thing that watch wannabes have beern criticizing Rolex for (not increasing production on their stainless watches) is what's paying off for them now, even as the grey market takes a tumble.
Unsavory traits? Like being judgmental and being bigoted
Fun video and very insightful. Love!
Lots of pro golfers have watch deals and the two that Hublot endorses (Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed) both bolted to the Liv Tour. I feel like that's very on brand.
We need more videos/ places where we can talk about things we don't like in watches but in a constructive way. Being overly positive all the time is maddening. I was in a stream last night dedicated to that, on purpose, as an objection to toxic positivity. That's a new phrase for me but the concept really hits the nail on the head, especially in these times. We're people, we have opinions and some are negative. I see no reason why we can't share them too, if done respectfully.
I agree with most of the points Teddy mentioned on why some people love to hate on Rolex but here’s my take on it:
1- Frustration from not being able to get a Rolex at retail within a short period of time. This then turns into bitterness towards Rolex, and jealousy from those who were able to buy one.
2- People being fed up with whole flexing and hype culture, and speculators who only care about investment value . Rolex is not the only brand that suffer from this, PP and AP are in this camp as well. But because Rolex watches represent over 90% of the above, they get the most hate.
3- Childish fanboys of other watch brands that envy the success and hype surrounding Rolex. So they click on every article or video that has “Rolex” in it’s thumbnail and start spewing hatred in the comments section. Some Omega and GS fanboys are particularly guilty of that. Other examples of this childish fanboyism are Apple vs Android and Playstation vs Xbox.
4- The too cool for school/indie type of people who like to be different and therefore hate anything mainstream. Rolex will probably be their main target for hating.
On the other, you’ll rarely find an established and long term watch collector/lover who doesn’t admire and respect the history, achievements and success of Rolex.
Teddy,
Love the vid mate.
What watch do you have on your wrist in this video?
Beautiful video. thank you for this.
Always interesting 👏👏👏
This is very helpful. Thanks!!!!
Excellent video, thanks
Well done Teddy - balanced and delivered with reason.
Brilliantly researched as ever.
Need help. I’m deciding between Tudor black bay 41mm or Panerai 1084. I know two diff watches but my fear is Panerai too much bling and will get damaged easily
I think that it might be interesting to see the opposite side of the coin, a video on what you believe are the top 3-5 brands universally *loved* and why you think they receive such acclaim and are held in high-esteem!
Richard Mille anyone? xD
‘As humans we tend to like the negative ‘. Well said. I’ve never seen so much anger and hatred in the comments for many watch videos on CZcams. It’s staggering.
Excellent video!
Hey teddy I’m looking for a new watch, and I’m considering a stuhrling watch and I want your opinion on the company
Great video. Love my 16610. The ad games really should stop. Either way. Great points made
I’ve had a panerai 1940 for about 8years, love the design, movement is nothing special and you could get it in 43mm, which I did. Now they do a great looking green dial but not in a “smaller” case, then I saw their prices! Wow almost double what I paid. So I won’t be swopping. They’d sell more by offering 40-42mm cases across different models but the price would need to be realistic too.
When it comes to luxury products, dropping the price often doesn't 'help' the brand. I think they need to re-emphasise their quality, and be more attentive to what their fans want.... that and realise that their Due line was a huge mistake.
Hey Teddy, really enjoy your videos and I know lots of effort you put into each video on your channel. By the way, which brand on your wrist in this video? Omega Diver 300? or Tudor?
👆👆Thanks for watching and Commenting send a direct message right away we got something special for you Giveaway✅🆙...
I believe a Tudor BB58 in blue... But not sure. Please tell us, Teddy!
The problem that I have with Rolex is that repairs almost have to be performed by one of its authorized servicing centers because of its strict control over parts availability, and when repairs are performed they will not return the replaced parts and insist that the parts be "traded in."
They will also probably replace parts that don't need replacing like the hands and dial if the lume is gone, rather than just re-lumbing it. Then polish it so it looks like new. Losing any patena that made the watch unique to you.
like the stache teddy, keep it coming :)
Can you do a full review on Fossil Group watches? I recently started looking into the brand last year and just want to get your take on Fossil.
Thanks Teddy!
The role of marketing in attracting customers that give a brand its image can’t be underestimated. The brand ambassadors are less significant than the impression that existing customers might have other potential customers. How some watch enthusiasts will always say seeing a Rolex on someone’s wrist is not a sign that wearer isn’t a fellow watch enthusiast. Same for Hubot, footballers people with more money than knowledge. Panerai, muscle men of the 90s making superhero movies with out the costumes.
Great Insight on this one. I’m not too worried about Rolex’s availability as long as I can get a Tudor without too many issues but I just love their designs more personally. Being from Chicago I truly feel Astor+ Banks represents a much better option from an midwestern manufacturer then Shinola. Cheers!
Exactly how I feel about Monta being from St Louis. Cheers!
Too bad they have no watch you can currently purchase. They're all either sold out or pre-orders.
i dont really understand how people can be happy to pay 3-4k for a watch that is obiously the second-rate Rolex. I do not mean that because of the brand Tudor but the features and workmanship.
From Chicago too and Astor + Banks is high on my list of watches to buy once I graduate from school!
@@rudiausbuddeln I’d imagine because it’s made with amazing craftsmanship as well as in-house production calibers
Hey teddy just recently discovered your channel and I’m thinking about buying my first proper watch soon but need advice from you or anyone in the comments. I want a nice diver watch for going out and everyday wear. Budget anything under £500. I normally wear a lot of black/grey/whites etc so anything that will go with that would be great. From your videos I really like the seiko 5/ seiko presage cocktail time/Laurient bambino(for dress occasions)/and a lot of watches I cannot afford lol. Any help from anyone would be appreciated :)
I think if you go to his dealer website you can schedule a consultation.
Being from MI I’ve always wanted to pick up a watch made in my state, but Shinola wanting 800 for a quartz watch nixed that. Detroit watch co. Has some nice designs and uses Swiss movements but at their price points I’m almost better off buying an actual Swiss Made watch. Detroit Mint makes affordable watches but their styling is hit and miss for me.
Looking at the background reminds me you’re from Cleveland Ohio & it being Lake Erie. When will we see some diving videos reviewing divers watches? Just curious & just a thought. I’m West of you in Lorain Ohio right on the lake like you. I know it’s not your typical style of reviewing watches, but I think it’ll make your channel grow even more when involving the Lake. As you & I both know, Lake Erie is one of the main attractions of our areas. Would be awesome to include it with your channel. Take care Teddy!
I have never been a fan of Panerai until they launched their 40mm series. Plus they have the quick strap release which quickly allows you to change strap and style. I am seriously considering getting one( Luminor 40m with P.900). Not too sure about what is wrong with the movement as it seems people are complaining about it. Any idea?
Do people really hate Panerai that much? I know there's some skepticism about how "in-house" their movements might really be but I don't hear much about their designs being all that crazy. I would agree their models/references is confusing but that's a lot of brands. I will agree folks hate Hublot with a passion on the watch forums I'm in, be it design and then price but not much love for that brand but clearly they're doing something right.
Well at least offering a Panerai with just 30m WR is pretty ridiculous…
And the price
Search for Panerai and Perpetual Downgrading and you'll get an idea. Many people think they make cool watches, many people think they make too big watches etc. and some people love the older models and are really disappointed about the direction of the brand.
@@PatricksFinanzen Exactly. It would be fine in a dress watch, but it is styled like a diver. What makes it worse is that they claim it's to keep the watch thin, and yet the Radiomir 574 (which I'm currently wearing) has 100m WR and is only 0.5mm thicker.... baffling
@@ollik8192 Eh there's plenty of other watch makers out there making watches that are too big lol. Hublot or even some of the Omega Planet Oceans come to mind. I can see the disappointment in the movements and of course yes Panerai hasn't released anything recently where i've seen folks or fans of the brand cheer.
My first automatic watch was a preowned Hublot Big Bang 311.ci.1170.ci. I’m local if you want to do a review on it Teddy
Teddy what are you thoughts on Ingersoll watches? Are they part of this list? I don't hear much about them on CZcams.
good stuff man
👆👆Thanks for watching and Commenting send a direct message right away we got something special for you..
Agreed with this segment. I'll stick with my Hamiltons, Seikos, and Glycine brand collections. They don't cost much, but make a great product.. However, I do see a Fortis, Brew, and Dan Henry watch coming soon. When I retire from the military, I will get a Grand Seiko. 🤙
Shinola can be found in department stores outside the US. Was just in Hamburg and the store had a big Shinola display.
Atmos clocks at 1:19. Great clocks but highly temperamental. You can shop around for deals on older models.
Completely agree with the fourth point of why people dislike Rolex. Sure, Rolex sells a ton of watches right now, but what about 10 or 30 years from now? There might be a point where people grow tired of the models.
Pattek knew this and made the decision the discontinue the Nautilus, before the bubble bursted
Just ordered my 1st Panerai Luminor 44mm . Proud to be a member of the exclusive Paneristi club !!! Unique, well built and classy. I'm sure it will look good on my 7.5inch wrist !!! Chunky yet oozes class !
GMT? Love my sunburst dial. Regularly get comments about mine. I can't see myself buying another panerai, but happy I did.
What an amazing video. I am very familiar with watches from 3 of the brands mentioned in the video..🤣. I absolutely love Rolex and since I have a good and long relationship with the AD, I have been able to get the models I wanted. I just got my first Panerai and I love it because people that are not familiar with watches barely recognize the brand. They are different from everything else.. My 15 years old has a Shinola that got from his grandfather. The kid wears the watch everywhere, and that watch has taken an insane amount of abuse. It still works and looks great. Let the haters hate. 😁.
Which Panerai Ref did you buy? Anything you wish they would change? Love the unique look of the case,
@@joshs3916 Pam 1314. Luminor Marina White dial. My only complaint is that you can't hack the movement, but other than that I love the watch.
@@hugohernandez3651 They hopefully will add hacking later on fingers crossed
Was completely unaware of Shinola until now. Thanks for giving me a new brand to hate Teddy! 😄
Jokes aside, their prices are outrageous lol. $800 for a quartz watch that basically looks like a Timex Weekender? What the hell?
My wife exclusively wears Shinola but I won’t wear it. She likes a few at $600 or less. They are large on the wrist imo and also imo more fashion watches than other brands. Quality watches but to each their own.
I like very much everything made in the USA. So I would encourage companies like Shinola, Monta, etc. to develop their own movements. America lost legendary brands like Hamilton, Ball to name a couple which is sad. Why can’t we bring back the greatness of the American precision manufacturing?
@@drnick40because despite his reputation, Reagan era economics gave companies the freedom to do whatever they want to increase profits up to and including moving everything overseas. If we actually spent money to subsidize American production again, maybe that would happen, but neither political party is willing to actually do that because “it’s socialism”
You just reminded me of a great night out at Peabody's Down Under many years ago.
Hublot, imo, makes nice watches, but they are just way, way overpriced. I think if they were priced near Rolex (retail) / Omega, they'd be quite well liked.
İt would still be too much but ı agree a price cut would be very nice
İt would still be too much for some models but ı agree a price cut would be very nice
I wish Teddy would say what watch he’s wearing for the day for the video!
#2 for Panerai is the same for Stowa, IWC, Lange, and Laco correct? I never heard of people having issues from them for the same reason. In fact, it seems that the connection is a selling point. I bought a Laco from you, and considered the history but was ok with it.
On Shinola, I really like their look and being from Michigan, I don’t mind supporting jobs in my state (even if they’re a tad pricey for what you get). Honestly, the questionable marketing is less of a gripe for me than how much they lean into the 47mm sizing. I’m a tall guy with about a 7.5” wrist, so they don’t look awkward on me, but I’m the minority…
I may not have heard of the brand, but I have definitely heard the expression of "not being able to tell shit from Shinola" 😂
Excent post Teddy! Abraços from Brazil!
This Video was extremely entertaining
For the same reasons people hate Hublot, they should also hate Richard Mille.
Surprised Tag Heuer wasn't mentioned. They get a ton of hate on CZcams, social media and watch forums.
I was looking to buy a 126330/blue/oyster steel. I first wanted to get from AD, after talking to a few AD. I gave up bc 1. The nearest AD is in St Louis which is 2 1/2 drive one way. After talking to them, they kindly refused to sit down with me to talk about getting a watch. They said I have to buy from AD from my state,in Louisville, which is 3 plus hours driving. Buying a Rolex from AD now takes at least two trips. I gave up the idea and ended up buying from EBay professional dealer, at a 3k markup but I was okay with that after all things considered.
i want a deep sea ...i enter some online competitions and dream on. maybe one day ...Marathon next. interesting to hear your thoughts on the naked watchmaker collab ..a perpetual calendar for something in the region of 10k.
I'm buying a phone soon Teddy, for my new job. ...best knowledge and review on the net. Loved the Watchfinder and Co interview ..the best two on the net for me. that kid has such a great way with words ...very eloquent in his descriptions.
Big love and thank you again.
Anyone know what watch Teddy is wearing?
I really like Shinola designs, but the prices like you said.
I think all the hate on Shinola is misplaced- they were essentially a micro brand originally when they began selling the quartz watches. Today they offer a wider range of automatic options. I also think their pricing is reasonable for what they offer (similar to some of Longines lower priced offerings). I think the problem is with people that don’t appreciate the Detroit tie in. If Detroit assembly is important to you, Shinola makes sense. If it isn’t, Shinola does not. I am from Michigan and I feel it’s fair to say that Shinola has become the go to entry luxury brand for the upper-middle class working professional. I often see Shinola watches on the wrists of local doctors, university professors, and mid-level managers.
8:26 Rolex "Daytona": Let me market it with Abu Dhabi circuit. LOL
What watch are you wearing Teddy? Is that a Longines zulu time?
Are you wearing a tudor black bay in this video?
I don't really know anyone who hates Rolex. Most seem to hate the insane hype for mass produced items in a market with plenty of competition.
That's how I see it I think folks hate the availability and the prices in the secondary market which are indeed nuts. Rolex watches are great at retail prices or even perhaps for some with a small markup but the current availability and prices are frustrating to say the least.
It’s a more involved relationship with the brand given the added factors of allocation and their reputation that transcends the category. Whenever I post about Rolex there is always comments regarding being sick of seeing them. Whether you like rolex or like they deserve respect for what they have done for the product category.
No , most people don't hate the hype. They hate the extremely toxic behaviour from AD personel , or the under the table/backdoor sales practices , or the years long purchase history based allocation system
Hate is a too strong word but I wouldn’t wear one for free. Just don’t like the look of any of their models.
I dislike Rolex for the very misleading marketing claims they've made over the years, we made the first waterproof watch, no you didn't, we created the first automatic movement, no you didn't, each watch takes a year to make, no they don't, I could go on and on. Let's not forget Rolex never made a single watch, just assembling third party parts until they bought these sub contractors.
I honestly don't know enough about any particular watch brand to hate any of them. Other than the brands i see celebrities wear of which James Bond be the most familiar in my mind with Omega, i can't honestly list a watch brand that's not tied to some famous celebrity. Thus i can't say i know any other really and can't hate on any. Barely own two watches for under $150 and at least their time keeping seems accurate. Just here to learn a thing or two to help me understand an accessory piece I should at least know more about.
I own three Shinolas. I almost owned a fourth, but returned it due to lack of QC. Here's my beef: I purchased a Black Blizzard which came with a black bezel and numbered in white. Within a few months of daily wear the numbers were rubbing off, and had rubbed off completely within 6 months. I have an office job. I'm not banging my knuckles every day. On the other hand, my Smokey Bear and White Hurricane are great watches. I sent back the Forged Carbon Monster in February this year because it looked like a return (the box had a graphic torn off, the watch was crookedly jammed in the presentation box, the strap looked like it had been worn). I love the story of providing jobs and training to Detroit workers, but I no longer have confidence they are providing quality, so much so that I started looking to see whether the company had been purchased or had a management change.
I've seen a few Hublot that I would certainly wear (if given as a gift or at an extreme discount)
Agreed!
I'll willing to bet money that they are classic fusions. The only respectable watch from Hublot.
@@souradeepsil4402 isn't that the one with the cheap movement inside?
@@Storm762x39 It may be that I'm remembering it wrong, but I think the Big Bang has those "cheap" ETA movements. I may be remembering wrongly.
@@souradeepsil4402 I see. I thought the "Meca 10" watches were their only in house movement watches. Which for that price, they need.
When I see Hublot watches I see Invicta except Hublot costs 500 times more.
When I was a kid in the 50’s - 60’s in Cleveland, OH, a popular saying back then was “You don’t know sh*t from Shinola.” So, because of this association I could never own a Shinola watch.
What will be the future of hologram or nft watch 🤩 .... plz share it ... I see futuristic shape changing 3d watch on "3dtime" collection of Opensea ...
You’re from Cleveland me too :)
Please tell me price of country. us dollar ,singapore dollar or australia dollar.
I want to like Shinola so bad but I read a comment someone wrote about them a while back that I just can’t get out of my head that said “Shinola makes some of the best $200 watches out there; they just don’t cost $200” 😂 I do like their new divers though, i’ll wait to see what the consensus of them is.
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
Is there a video you’d recommend from your channel for wedding watches, nice classy watches for $400 CAD or under? Or more so budget friendly dress watches
$400? Take my advice and spend the money on better food for the wedding. They'll talk about the food for much longer than your cheap $400 watch. Trust me. That's if they even notice it!
Lol trust me as a culinary worker and those being alot of the guests on my side thags my biggest concern.
The spot alone for the after party I’m making sure is booked, as the chef was solid in the top chef stuff for my city in Canada lol and generally someone I know
Nail perfectly the Rolex case, a question why Rolex (and the others) does not align their prices to second and gray market? thank for the video

hi Teddy, does Richard Mille worth the price as compared with the established brands? thank you.
👆👆Thanks for watching and Commenting send a direct message right away we got something special for you..
Ofc the aftermarket prices are severely inflated, but RM is totally worth retail. Just calculate how much you need to design, test and produce a Richard Mille level world record breaking watch completely in-house, add sponsorship, ads, rent, equipment, salary, equipment upgrades and maintenance, staff etc. All watches are limited and production level is limited specifically to keep prices high and thus customers satisfied. There are roughly 50 000 RM owners total in the whole world.
While established brands mostly just take more time to polish a watch to make it more expensive.
Dare I say, Shinola is like the Invicta of luxury brands (and I doubt if it could even be claimed as a luxury watch brand) 😂
Seriously, Shinola watches are uniformly better than Invicta.
True, over-marketing can and is usually a bad thing.
Stayed at Shinola Hotel 2 weeks ago. Great stay. Locals call the watch the Detroit Rolex. My knock on them is too many quartz versions. Not sure why a serious company bothers with battery watches. My Accutron battery died on me during a flight to Moscow. 1979. Took it to watch store for new battery. Silly me. Watch store owner asked to see my now useless Accutron as it was the first one he’d ever seen. I bought an automatic Slava from him with days of the week in Cyrillic. Very cool. Still have it. Needs service thought. But lesson learned. Never owned a non-mechanical watch since.
Anyone planning to time travel to 1979 USSR should keep in mind that they won't be able to find a battery for their watch.
For everyone in the real world, modern quartz batteries can last a very long time and you can find replacements for most of them (and do the replacement yourself) at any grocery store. There are also solar quartz watches that will never need a battery or a service, basically for several human lifetimes.
I’d also say the fact that original Panerai’s were Rolex cases and movements is another recent topic that has led to hate of Panerai. Officine Panerai created the dial but their heritage is standing a bit on Rolex’s shoulders
That was at a time when pretty much everybody was using someone else’s movements.
« In house » was not a concern nor a trend.
How about a video on the best blue dial watches under 2k?
