I have to say that being a watch retailer and authorized dealer,it breathed new life into my job after seeing the film. I agree with the fact, when people walk into my store and ask. "Why do I need a watch, when my cell phone can tell time?" This raises red flags, these people are there to waste every minute of my time. Time that could have been well spent with a potential buyer who will enjoy a fine watch. Thank you for posting this inspiring video and I wish Tom Bolt years of success for showing the underbelly of the vintage watch collector's world. I have found a new appreciation for my job...hand6.gif Cheers, Simon Last edited on Fri Jul 31st, 2009 01:14 am by Simon_Leung |

Thanks for sharing this film but, are these people really watch collectors or are they watch investors? I might have missed something and/or be completely wrong by what I took away from watching the film but, I believe that collectors should be less worried about resale value and more concerned with the art and craftsmanship that a watch brings to those who appreciate them. While that was important to those in the film, I kept getting the money theme over and over again. Perhaps I was reading more of that into it than was actually there. As a long time collector, I enjoy all watches. Yes, I own 2 Rolex, a number of Omega and other higher end watches but, I also collect and wear, not so high end watches too. I do draw the line at plastic watches though... To be on my wrist, I must be made of better materials. Just my impression but, did anyone else come away with that feeling? Again thank you, Graham for sharing. Clyde |

I haven't seen Graham's video post yet (sneaking a 3T peek in the office) but just as a rejoinder to Clyde......yes, the moment one buys a great collectable or luxury watch, one should never expect to make money on it-----at least not in about 8 years----but the joy of ownership is the best reward a watchosaurus should ever have. When I buy watches, my goal is not to make money on it but to enjoy it, carry a romance with it and in time, pass it on to my sons or nephews. Buying a watch to make money on it is probably missing the whole point. Will watch the video with a nice drink later. Thanks, Graham;). |
