Rolex Discounting BIG Pieces - Discontinued Dial Price Trends - My Dream Watch - Honest Dealers Q&A

Is a damaged Rolex Daytona worth less after repair? Are ADs offering discounts in the current market? What is the average age of Rolex buyers? I also discuss market trends, including the prices of discontinued models. I cover all this and more in my Honest Watch Dealer's Q&A.

Hey everyone,

Incredible news, my YouTube videos are back!

They say that spreading the word makes a difference, and honestly, when you guys get involved, wonders happen. Thank you very much to each and every one of you who helped me with the recovery of my videos.

My heart sank when I saw the videos taken down, and I felt totally helpless. But today, I received an email from YouTube clarifying that the false claims have been removed by their legal support, and I want to thank each of you.

I especially want to thank everyone who reached out and supported me during this tough time.

Thank you very much.

All the best,
Charlie

When Charlie drops these, it’s the sweet spot of my Sunday. I’m 1, 000, 000% pulling the trigger on this content.

4:44 100% agree with that. Good watches are meant to be heirlooms not sold on. Both of mine are exactly for that purpose.

Regarding the stickers question - in Canada at least, an AD isn’t allowed to have a watch leave the store with stickers on. They show you the fully-stickered watch, and then remove the stickers in front of you.

It was different in 2005 with my Sub and in 2015 with my Daytona, when I took the watches home and removed the stickers myself. When I got my Batgirl in 2021, the process had changed, as described.

If Rolex replaces the crystal on a watch the microscopic coronet at 6 o’clock has a sideways S at the bottom of the coronet. Denoting it’s a service crystal.

I wish Rolex would sell an oyster flex bracelet for the submariner.

The boom of watches is slowing down but returning to normal levels in a healthy way.
During these crazy times, I rediscovered the value of brands like Longines, Tissot, Mido, and Hamilton.
They have a more honest proposition.

Whilst most of the pieces spoken about on your channel are above my tier of watch ($15k+), love the content and delivery of information you provide. Honest facts and professional insight from someone passionate, and always humbly prefacing / identifying any subjective opinions .

Thanks Charlie. Great information as always!

[alexwatt]

Great content as usual. But it's about time you showed everyone what's pink and under the desk!

[DanLeahdizon]

Interesting, I would always think the blue motif is more attractive than the normal blue dial based on videos. Guess i just havnt seen it in person then.

[MarkMphonoman]

It’s only a damn watch. Getting it serviced properly is a must.

[adrianc]

Great video, insightful and on point 😊

[gavinwhite]

Great content, loved the info about the oyster straps, as well interesting to hear you talk about Patek and AP.

[AndreaDoesYoga]

[paullewis]

Hi Charlie your information and watch collection are awesome,
One thing I suggest tell you when you tell about your watch thought images, Replace your images and AR 3D model it's give awesome experience to your viewer and client.

[Greggieboy]

Killing it Charlie, blinding video as always!!!

[robertoceferino]

Bundling is against Rolex rules for their ADs, so I don't think we'll see that being done overtly. It'll be a nod and a wink type of thing.

Some of the patek model references you mentioned are discontinued
