    Take with a large pinch of salt, a dealers agenda will always be to buy low/sell high. He’s a businessman and not doing these videos for his health (obviously).

    I went to a Independent dealer to do a trade to buy a Rolex and they did not want to know . Best way is Ebay or Chrono 24 to sell watches . Also Auction house good place to buy . I remember when dealers sold used watches below retail . Maybe those days are coming back ? think people need to be honest with themselves on why they want to buy a Rolex , is it to wear or to make money ? If its to make money then buyer beware , dont listen to the hype . Also getting a Rolex watch Serviced is a long wait so maybe consider CPO with a AD . Avoid Consignment , its a scam

      Your attitude gives greedy watch dealers the time of there lives.. every high value purchase especially a ROLEX has an investment aspect no matter how cheesy the comments get .. no offence to the watch dealer but look at that..... he agreed...😂 with you.. and so he should because easy clients like you make life easy.. thank you and good night.

      ​@@garyuk761I disagree. For buying an item with a high price there is really only two justifications. You need it or you don't care if it blows up in flames tomorrow. Anything else is financially irresponsible... which to be fair seems to be the norm these days.

    Great advice. The scammers will always be 2 steps ahead so even if you try to cover all bases they'll have thought of another way to catch you out. Paul Thorpe has given a lot of awareness to the types of scams pulled. Better safe than sorry - rather sell to a dealer with a proper reputation and you can sleep at night

    Since the "USA incident", I've noticed a definite increase in online content extolling the virtues of credible /reliable /reputable grey market dealers. Buy, sell, consign, whatever - I think AF did a lot of damage to the market overall, and to grey market watch dealers in particular. Lessons for all sides of the supply chain to learn.

    Price matching doesn’t work there’s too many variables. Even if it’s the exact same model what year is it, does it come complete or just the watch by its self, what’s the condition and how’s it compare. Yes prices are negotiable ofc but sometimes just having these popular models in stock and knowledgeable staff is all you need.

  • @PabloTBrave
    @PabloTBrave Před 10 měsíci

    A company can't be the best for buying and selling , they need to cover costs /make profit somewhere . You do need to trust the conpany is legit, but solely on the price element If upgrading the key is total cost to switch. Dont be hung up on one side of the transaction or the other as its the total deal that matters.
