You really have to know what you’re doing you’re gonna get screwed. It’s really big now on TikTok, these watch dealers and all these watch Forums telegram and Discord

They make it sound so easy you can buy watches and sell them for more profit

Anybody a collector?

Yes, I am into watches , I have been into them for years I buy and sell them but always keep a few. I am really into Patek, Vacheron and AP. I have turned some really good profits over the years. I will post some of them in a bit. I use 3 different Grey Market dealers. They have a better in than actually dealers. There are 5-7 year waiting lists on some watches but I can get them faster on the grey market. My everyday wearers are my AP Royal Oak and my blue Vacheron Overseas.

I haven't worn a watch in maybe 30 to 40 years. I don't wear jewelry of any kind. I can't stand anything like that on my body.Its like wearing a turtleneck sweater for me just drives me crazy. I'm weird I know.

I do more for investments, I have made a lot of money over the years on watches. I do like wearing a watch though. Nice ones. Watches over the last 30 years , the right models, have made a lot of people a lot of money.

Wow I figured you were talking 100s of dollars but you talking 1000s. I had no idea about this.
No, those overseas you see, they range from $41-60k if you can find them. The Royal Oaks 50-70k..... Nothing I have is over 100k , the models are key, depending the model it changes drastically, I have two blue ones, they look alike to the naked eye but there is a 20k difference in them. There are models of these that are hundreds of thousands eve millions.
