I really like that you say how much you'll buy it for as well as the price you'll sell it at 👍 Other dealers never do that. Total transparency, very cool
I commend them too for being so open but I was offered no where near 17k for an unworn SD blue dial so bit confused on the pricing here….mine was a 2023 too. Love the channel though 👍🫶
Charlie has his finger on the current pulse of Rolex resale market. His transparency is reassuring. If I ever buy from the gray market, I’d hop a plane across the pond and go directly to Charle.
Does anyone buy a watch because they like it anymore!? Personally think it’s nice to buy a watch from AD regardless if you could get slightly cheaper second hand! Obviously if thousands cheaper that’s different
Totally agree, I registered for a DJ41 with the Wimbledon dial, two tone Rolesor, fluted bezel and Oyster bracelet. Got the call from the AD and paid the retail for it! Absolutely love it and it's my dream watch, didn't even think about resale as I bought it for me to enjoy and appreciate, it's my first ever Rolex and I'm chuffed to pieces! 🎉
Steel Sky Dweller with a Blue dial on Jubilee - Incredibly difficult to obtain at AD. It doesn't matter much between 32x (discontinued) and 33x references if you are looking to buy grey. This particular model should slowly creep back up in price over the coming months and is certainly one to hold for 5yrs+ - It's a VIP watch that Rolex AD's only sell to their heavy spenders.
Charlie, first off I just want to say I love your videos and your content. I subd! Second off your video on omega and falling out with the brands pricing couldn’t be more true. I bought several omega watches and still own than and although I love and appreciate them for what they are I always wanted a Rolex and when I just purchased one a week ago the date just 36 on fluted and jubilee… the build quality and styling are indeed two diff levels and I’m glad I paid the extra money for getting the Rolex over a new white speedy I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Nothing beats a beautiful Rolex! Thanks Charlie and I hope you have a wonderful prosperous holiday season my friend!🎉
So glad to hear you’re enjoying the content mate, I really appreciate the support! Congratulations on acquiring the DJ36, it’s such a stunning timepiece and a great addition to any collection! Wear it and enjoy it! 🙌🏻💯 Have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year 👍🏻👌🏻
I was in Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex today, Goldsmiths had a full window of brand new Rolex watches that were available for sale that day. They were basically all the watches that you say to pass on!
Great video as always. My prediction is that this time next year, the only watches you'll be paying over retail for will be stainless steel GMTs, the most desirable Daytonas, Tiffany OP, Celebration OP and some Subs. Everything else you'll be paying less than retail, with you selling them at retail or slightly below.
Our current stock always remain the same price online after an increase. Any new stock in we will have to pay a higher price so of course will sell for a higher price.
Love your channel! I was recently offered by my AD after waiting quite some time to buy the two tone Daytona with black dial with diamonds at the hour markers, and I absolutely love it. You are spot on in this video at 10:50 that the watch is simply stunning. The diamonds are smaller so it’s not so blingy and the combination of gold and steel and black with diamonds is just a masterpiece. This is a keeper forever. Keep up the great content!
Love the details of your video about the retail price and the secondary market price. Sadly, the Yatch-master 37 on my wait list has no value on the secondary market. Great transparency video.
The Yacht-Master 37 is a slow mover in the market, however, if you like it you should always buy it! Market value is irrelevant if you’re going to wear it and enjoy it 🙌🏻💯
Great video Charlie as usual, full of sensible honest advice to people , I’m glad it was a longer one as well this time , thank you mate and I will see you soon 💥💥👍🏻
Well played for being so transparent on your pricing, Kudos to you guys! Love the videos but this one really took it up a notch compared to the competition, no smoke and mirrors 👍
Hi mate, Unfortunately, due to recent market trends and the Rolex RRP increase, you would expect to lose money on both of these combinations. You’d stand to lose a lot of money on a full everrose gold piece and only lose a little on the two tone - so two tone would be the better option 🙌🏻💯
@@thehonestwatchdealer hi! Thanks for your answer. Do you think even loosing money on the daytona oysterflex everrose sundust? And what do you think about the grey, which watches give the best value among everrose full and 2 tone pieces?
Rootbeer in Canada goes for 24500-26000 depending on year and condition. It’s a definite yes in Canada. I’m not sure why anyone would sell you the most in demand rolex to loose 1000-3000 pounds when you can sell them yourself in a dozens of watch groups. Batman/girl, mint green dj, sprite, root beer, steel Daytona, Skydweller in blue or green are all easy to sell.
To clarify, you are saying even if a DJ with one of the top four dials, if it’s fluted on an oyster you would pass? So in other words, the jubilee bracelet is a must?
Glad to see the profit draining out of these watches. This means flippers are not picking them up and people who actually want the watches to wear can get them now brand new at retail from an authorized dealer.
@@thehonestwatchdealer yep, it arrived yesterday, collected now and just getting used to it. It really stands out. Worn it all day around Reading. Have to admit I’m very aware when wearing it out.
The GMT Sprite is still trading at above retail price! Such a special and collectible watch! The 126610LV is also solid and an incredibly sought after timepiece. It really all comes down to your own personal taste 🙌🏻
great video again! thank you very much. I was wondering is it not possible to start a discord? I would get in right away! Until the next video, keep up the good work with your videos
@@thehonestwatchdealer You're welcome, I follow more watch youtubers and many already have a discord. exchanging ideas, opinions about watches, questions that people may have. there are many possibilities. look forward to it!🫡
@@thehonestwatchdealeryou bet. I’ve never bought watches to sell them, but I certainly have bought from both authorized dealers, boutiques and from the grey market. Just depends on the watch, my standing with the particular watch brand and market conditions.
First time watching your video. Informative, thanks I believe the most important thing to buy a Rolex is to enjoy the aesthetic look of it, rather than buy and flip it for profit (i mean from a consumer perspective, not a reseller perspective 😂) I got offered a TT YM with black dial earlier this week I love that watch ❤, despite you said to pass if AD to offer… I am not buying to flip for profit but to enjoy the watch
Glad you enjoyed the video mate, that’s much appreciated 🙌🏻 Buying to wear is what owning a luxury timepiece is truly all about! If you wear it and enjoy it you can’t ever go wrong 👍🏻💯
I have Sea Dweller and a James Cameron Deepea. Bought bought new from my AD . I love these watches and couldn't care less what they are worth now or in the future !!!
Amazing reviews. When I do come to buy my 41" Wimbledon fluted bez, Jubilee. I'll be straight on the phone to you pal. I just cant see any other watch that I Iove more. For me it's a headturner with class Thanks again for such an honest and well informed chsnnel🙏
Thanks so much for the support mate, it's really appreciated! 🙌 The 'Wimbledon' is such a classy timepiece - when you're ready, give us a call, we're always happy to help 👍
Congrats on acquiring such a stunning timepiece! Most clients we deal with want a plain dial in the Oysterflex range, however, that model still trades for around retail 👍
Thanks for the total transparency and insight. Rolex did this to themselves really. Now the only models that will sell for them are the ones that net customers a profit. Everything else will be discounted in the next few years.
10:50 Glad to hear your positive comments on it. I've been registered for this particular piece for a couple of years and wore it for the first time at the AD (exhibition piece) the other day. I'm glad I registered for it now because it looked amazing on my wrist. Hope I can get it soon though it would be for my personal collection rather than for flipping I'm afraid to say!
When you say “top four” dials are you referring to resales value? In my opinion those dials aren’t wardrobe flexible or I’m I just not getting what you’re saying.
Hi! So I have just discovered your channel - great content! I have been thinking about buying Rolex Dayjust 41, fluted, jubilee bracelet with blue dial motif. The seller offered me $17,000 for this timepiece. But I watched your video on discontinued watches and I started reconsidering if its really worth it? I like the watch itself and would like to buy for just wearing it, but I also dont want to overpay. Any piece of advice?
At the current conversion rate that’s £13,400 and is inline with the prices we’re seeing online. Most clients choose the plain dials, however, so it can prove a slower seller in the market! But we’d always advise that you buy what you like and buy to wear, that way you can never go wrong 🙌🏻💯
I am getting a 2024 unworn gmt 2 steel n gold with box n papers, was offered 14.5k from grey market seller the other day, they sold one for 16.5k last month.
A really unique and stunning timepiece! 🙌🏻 Currently there aren’t enough available on the secondary market to give a true indication of value. Certainly has a niche following, we don’t get clients requesting one as often as other models 👍🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer Looking forward to it. BTW, I have seen you wearing Oysterflex Daytona for many episodes. Would you consider doing a full blown episode just for entire product line of Oysterflex Daytona?
Really stunning timepiece! Unfortunately, we don’t have one in stock right now but feel free to reach out to us through our website and we can notify you as soon as one arrives at the boutique 👍🏻
I would buy the Yacht Master Chocolate dial , it looks stunning and i dont mind the loss . Also the TT Daytona Black Dial , i think it looks more Masculine than the white Dial . Also are the DateJust fluted Motif Dial’s are they worth Keeping ?
As long as you’re buying what you like, a loss makes no difference 🙌🏻💯 Fluted Motif dial DJ could be a good one long term, but in the current market people much prefer the plainer dials 👌🏻
Me and friends live in Florida, and we are always asking ourselves what are the ways we can buy a watch from you? We fully understand that we can wire the money, as we do here in the US to other dealers and they just send us the watch thru FedEx, period! But what is the exact ways it works From you guys? Thanks!
We send watches to US clients all the time! There are plenty of options available to you at checkout. Once payment is complete, we ship direct to you with our fully insured and tracked courier service 👍🏻
Is there import taxes to pay? Or once I wire you the money is there anything else I am responsible for? That is the real question. I find your prices with the dollar to the pound to be better than most prices here in the US at times. I have bought many watches from various Grey dealers here in the US and just wire my trusted dealers, and in 1-2 days I have the watch with no tax as long as it is a wired transfer. Is this the same for you guys or is there an import tax I am responsible for? Thanks for helping me out here! Also what is the best phone number to contact you and what is the best British time for you guys!
Do you have any knowledge about the grey/used markets outside UK? Specifically in Norway, but also in other areas. When I buy a watch, I'm just happy if it keeps it's value. I'm not into this for profit (we have index funds for that...). My local Rolex AD didn't want to put me on the list for an Explorer 124170 in March 2024.
Glad you enjoy the videos mate, much appreciated! Such a stunning model, still proving extremely popular in the market, currently trading above retail, solid buy! 🙌🏻💯
Hi can you clear this up for me. You said GRNR you sell for about $20.5k no tax US and Rolex AD price is $18.5k US after tax but your still saying buy grey market? Thanks and love your videos!
@@better_together-w4m No doubting that. But these cunning ADs try to get an inexperienced customer walking in through their doors spend a fortune on other stuff in the hope of getting the piece they want. Those in the know go straight to the likes of Charlie.
Can you provide thoughts on the Deepsea James Cameron? (Black/blue dial) I’m looking to invest and unsure what the market is like on that model? Cheers
Got myself a bruce Wayne gmt today from Rolex AD boom 💥 ordered it on oyster bracelet instead of jubilee . I have the sprite left hander on jubilee so I can switch them around also
Yeh I texted my AD on the morning of they got launched . What are they currently selling for on the grey market in your opinion? I’m curious although i wouldn’t sell the AD would not be pleased
@@Johndoe10007 Yes there is a very large premium on these at the minute, as is usually the case with new releases. This however should drop quickly over the next few months to come down to more realistic levels.
Crazy how right as this gets uploaded Rolex finally raised their RRPs across the board lol. Good content. I still say the moment they release the root beer GMT on Jubilee I"ll be all over it lol.
@@thehonestwatchdealer I knew you paid under list, I didn’t realise you also sell it under list. I bought from my AD for 12.7k, and I love it, but ouch
Another great video Charlie and as always super informative for anyone looking to get into the range and awaiting a call from an AD to pass on a piece that can be purchased from the grey at a better price 👍
Two stunning models! The steel Sea-Dwellers we buy for below list. The Datejust 36 is a good buy but only depending on the combination! Can't go wrong with a Fluted/Jubilee Blue or Green dial 🙌
@thehonestwatchdealer for the sea dwellers does that include the 136660 James Cameron? Also love your videos, very informative and entertaining. Hope to visit LWC when I'm in the UK.
I really like that you say how much you'll buy it for as well as the price you'll sell it at 👍 Other dealers never do that. Total transparency, very cool
Exactly, people understand you need to make your margin on the sale
Thank you I appreciate that and so pleased you enjoy the channel😃
Facts, you seem trustworthy mate. All the best
So yeah unbelievable but the flipping is pretty much over
I commend them too for being so open but I was offered no where near 17k for an unworn SD blue dial so bit confused on the pricing here….mine was a 2023 too. Love the channel though 👍🫶

The TT rootbeer GMT is now retailing at £14750 not £14300.
December 23, it was £13600 rrp (!)
I do love your Sunday night videos, highly entertaining
Really appreciate that mate, so glad you like them! 🙏
Does anyone buy a watch because they like it anymore!? Personally think it’s nice to buy a watch from AD regardless if you could get slightly cheaper second hand! Obviously if thousands cheaper that’s different
Totally agree with you.
It’s not just about the watch it’s the whole experience you get when buying from the AD
Also agree. Price isn't everything.
No, it's harder to get a Rolex in small city. Plus so called waiting listing.
Totally agree, I registered for a DJ41 with the Wimbledon dial, two tone Rolesor, fluted bezel and Oyster bracelet. Got the call from the AD and paid the retail for it! Absolutely love it and it's my dream watch, didn't even think about resale as I bought it for me to enjoy and appreciate, it's my first ever Rolex and I'm chuffed to pieces! 🎉
@@Gattsu1986
Great stuff!
The fact that the watch will always be in your name on the Rolex registry is a nice touch also.
Wear it and enjoy it bud.
So is the datejust II sought after with the dark blue and azaro blue dial ?
Thanks for being so honest and straight up - a rare thing in today's times.
Thank you I appreciate that 🙌🏼
Thanks Charlie for latest updates regarding passing or buying. Always enjoy your thoughts and opinions.👍👍
My pleasure glad you enjoy them 👍🏻

You should always buy what you like. You never lose that way 👍
If you like it, that’s all that matters! That’s what owning a luxury timepiece is all about 🙌🏻💯

On the polar explorer I’m confused, why pass? As if you got it for 8500 that’s surely better than buying in the grey at just under 10k?
Let me guess- Buy: Pepsi, Daytona. Pass: Everything else
Let me guess, someone doesnt watch the video
I was in Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex today, Goldsmiths had a full window of brand new Rolex watches that were available for sale that day. They were basically all the watches that you say to pass on!
It’s not just Essex, this appears to be a trend across the UK…👀
Any steel pieces?
Great video as always. My prediction is that this time next year, the only watches you'll be paying over retail for will be stainless steel GMTs, the most desirable Daytonas, Tiffany OP, Celebration OP and some Subs. Everything else you'll be paying less than retail, with you selling them at retail or slightly below.
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed! Intriguing prediction, only time will tell 🙌🏻
feed back on the GMT Meteorite being sold these days at around $55000 US? Safe buy or will go below retail?
Very hard to say short term but should be a good one to have in the collection for the long term! 👍
Will you adjust prices now Rolex have had a price increase? Or does their price increase make no difference to the grey market?
Our current stock always remain the same price online after an increase. Any new stock in we will have to pay a higher price so of course will sell for a higher price.

General question:
Out of all Everrose or 2 tone Everrose, which do you think would be the best buy? Both in the grey or in an AD?
Hi mate,
Unfortunately, due to recent market trends and the Rolex RRP increase, you would expect to lose money on both of these combinations.
You’d stand to lose a lot of money on a full everrose gold piece and only lose a little on the two tone - so two tone would be the better option 🙌🏻💯

Rootbeer in Canada goes for 24500-26000 depending on year and condition. It’s a definite yes in Canada. I’m not sure why anyone would sell you the most in demand rolex to loose 1000-3000 pounds when you can sell them yourself in a dozens of watch groups.

To clarify, you are saying even if a DJ with one of the top four dials, if it’s fluted on an oyster you would pass? So in other words, the jubilee bracelet is a must?
Jubilee and fluted is the best combination to go for, currently only the wimbledon and mint green would be over for you to sell now 👍
12:50 the white dial is the nicest in my opinion.
Why am I seeing the Rolex Sky Dweller 336933 over list, but you're saying it's underlist?? I'm currently on the list for this watch

@@thehonestwatchdealer Looking forward to it. BTW, I have seen you wearing Oysterflex Daytona for many episodes. Would you consider doing a full blown episode just for entire product line of Oysterflex Daytona?
Tried to find that Explorer 2 (white) on your website and couldn't :/ would love to grab that one
Really stunning timepiece! Unfortunately, we don’t have one in stock right now but feel free to reach out to us through our website and we can notify you as soon as one arrives at the boutique 👍🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer perfect! Will do :) thanks!
Informative update on some of the Rolex market, enjoyed it Charlie
Glad you’re enjoying the content and finding it useful mate, much appreciated 🙌🏻
Hi, is datejust 41mm half gold mop with diamond a good investment model? Thanks.
Really phenomenal timepiece! Unfortunately, the retail is too high on this model, we would buy for under and sell for just over 👍
Thank you Charlie. So much great advice!! Keep up your excellent work sir!
Appreciate the support mate! Thank you 👍
What about the new Bruce Wayne GMT master? Pass or Buy?
1,000,000% BUY! Really stunning and sought after model in the current market, trading at above retail 🙌🏻
In Mar 2024 i bought a Jan 2024 ym40 rose steel (black) at 20500sgd. Retail was 23550sgd. Was it a good buy?
Great buy! Congratulations on acquiring such a stunning timepiece 🙌
Nice channel! I like your bold no joke advice on what watches to buy or NOT buy!
Thank mate 😎
Thanks for the support mate, it’s much appreciated 👍🏻🙌🏻
I would buy the Yacht Master Chocolate dial , it looks stunning and i dont mind the loss . Also the TT Daytona Black Dial , i think it looks more Masculine than the white Dial . Also are the DateJust fluted Motif Dial’s are they worth Keeping ?
As long as you’re buying what you like, a loss makes no difference 🙌🏻💯
Fluted Motif dial DJ could be a good one long term, but in the current market people much prefer the plainer dials 👌🏻
Many thanks - great advice. The Roman Numerals are coming back!
Did you see the GQ mag article on the Patek that just sold for £13.6m? What are your thoughts on it?
Can someone help.
I have a GMT2 2016 with B&P
Have someone wanting to give me £1,500 and a Tudor B Bay pink.... Thoughts
Me and friends live in Florida, and we are always asking ourselves what are the ways we can buy a watch from you? We fully understand that we can wire the money, as we do here in the US to other dealers and they just send us the watch thru FedEx, period! But what is the exact ways it works From you guys? Thanks!
We send watches to US clients all the time! There are plenty of options available to you at checkout. Once payment is complete, we ship direct to you with our fully insured and tracked courier service 👍🏻
Is there import taxes to pay? Or once I wire you the money is there anything else I am responsible for? That is the real question. I find your prices with the dollar to the pound to be better than most prices here in the US at times. I have bought many watches from various Grey dealers here in the US and just wire my trusted dealers, and in 1-2 days I have the watch with no tax as long as it is a wired transfer. Is this the same for you guys or is there an import tax I am responsible for? Thanks for helping me out here! Also what is the best phone number to contact you and what is the best British time for you guys!
Hi Charlie! How about dj41 jubilee fluted bezel black bezel and sub no date is it a buy or pass?
Two stunning models! Black dial Datejust’s are currently under retail. The Sub No Date is currently above retail, so still a good buy 👍🏻
Please do mention your thoughts on the steel Submariner dates. You skipped over these. Does this mean a 100% buy? Still trading above retail?
Still a good buy! We purchase for over retail and sell for over retail 👍🏻
Would love to hear your thoughts on the SS Rolex models like the Batgirl / Sprite etc. I appreciate these videos, thank you!
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed! All SS Rolex GMT models are a really solid buy, all are currently trading at above retail price 👍
Hi Charlie ad is offering 41 date just rose gold chocolate with diamond this expected. Pass or buy
Popular model in the current market, could be a decent buy 👍🏻💯
Thank u
Do you have any knowledge about the grey/used markets outside UK? Specifically in Norway, but also in other areas. When I buy a watch, I'm just happy if it keeps it's value. I'm not into this for profit (we have index funds for that...).
My local Rolex AD didn't want to put me on the list for an Explorer 124170 in March 2024.
Love your videos ; )
What's the current state of play on the Submariner (no date) please?
Glad you enjoy the videos mate, much appreciated! Such a stunning model, still proving extremely popular in the market, currently trading above retail, solid buy! 🙌🏻💯
Hi can you clear this up for me. You said GRNR you sell for about $20.5k no tax US and Rolex AD price is $18.5k US after tax but your still saying buy grey market? Thanks and love your videos!
So basically spend over £100k at an AD to be eligible to buy a “hot piece” to make 2-3k “profit”.
People don’t buy Rolex’ to make money. They purchase them for the love of the pieces.
@@better_together-w4m No doubting that. But these cunning ADs try to get an inexperienced customer walking in through their doors spend a fortune on other stuff in the hope of getting the piece they want. Those in the know go straight to the likes of Charlie.
@@pjchling8088agree, but most of us have done some research/homework to know what to say Yes to and No to
@@pjchling8088I bought my son a tudor black bay 36 with discount and got a call for a gmt 4 month after.. just got to have luck with the ad
@@pjchling8088 you think anyone that can blow 100k to get a rolex doesnt have access to youtube?
Can you provide thoughts on the Deepsea James Cameron? (Black/blue dial) I’m looking to invest and unsure what the market is like on that model? Cheers
Watches aren’t investments - buy it because you like it - no other reason.
The JC is a very popular model and we sell lots at LWC. You should always buy what you like 👍🏻
My advice would be not to invest in things you aren’t knowledgeable about. Great watch to buy and wear though.
Got myself a bruce Wayne gmt today from Rolex AD boom 💥 ordered it on oyster bracelet instead of jubilee . I have the sprite left hander on jubilee so I can switch them around also
Congratulations John, such an incredible model amazing you managed to get it so quickly! 🙌
Yeh I texted my AD on the morning of they got launched . What are they currently selling for on the grey market in your opinion? I’m curious although i wouldn’t sell the AD would not be pleased
@@Johndoe10007 Yes there is a very large premium on these at the minute, as is usually the case with new releases.
This however should drop quickly over the next few months to come down to more realistic levels.
So what’s stopping anyone from selling on their own if he’s always reselling them for profit off your selling price?
What about Air King? I already got a call from my AD
Great information Charlie it’s good to keep up with the ever changing market
Thank you so pleased you enjoy them 👌🏻
Hi Charlie, got offered a DJ 41 white dial, baton hands, fluted on jubilee from the AD, what you think buy or pass?
Don’t buy it because you are obviously a sausage
Beautiful model, a definite buy if you want to wear and enjoy it! But if you want to make profit, we’d offer below retail for that model 👍🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer Thanks for the reply, what about on the second hand market i see online they are going for around 10,500 gbp
Crazy how right as this gets uploaded Rolex finally raised their RRPs across the board lol. Good content.
I still say the moment they release the root beer GMT on Jubilee I"ll be all over it lol.
Thanks for watching mate! A Jubilee Root Beer would be such a stunning combination!! 🙌
So you sell the 2024 unworn, two tone, fluted, jubilee wimbledon under list?
Yes that is correct. Thank you for watching 🙌🏼
@@thehonestwatchdealer I knew you paid under list, I didn’t realise you also sell it under list. I bought from my AD for 12.7k, and I love it, but ouch
Another great video Charlie and as always super informative for anyone looking to get into the range and awaiting a call from an AD to pass on a piece that can be purchased from the grey at a better price 👍
Thanks for watching mate, appreciate the support 🙌🏻
You haven't covered Date Just 36 blue or green Dail or Sea Dweller?
Any advice on them as I might get them in a couple of weeks.
Two stunning models! The steel Sea-Dwellers we buy for below list. The Datejust 36 is a good buy but only depending on the combination! Can't go wrong with a Fluted/Jubilee Blue or Green dial 🙌
@@thehonestwatchdealer what are your thoughts on datejust 36 mint green smooth bezel with jubilee bracelet?
@thehonestwatchdealer for the sea dwellers does that include the 136660 James Cameron?
Also love your videos, very informative and entertaining. Hope to visit LWC when I'm in the UK.
