    Right place right time for the guy wanting advice! The ability to stop your day and educate him without an ego or being "too busy" is why i support you guys. Likely made his year learning from you two. Kudos!

    I loved, I mean LOVED LOVED LOVED that time you took to talk to the kid in Ariel's store who was looking to understand how to get his start. Not for the info you gave him, even though that was cool to listen to, but for the fact you shared and how you shared.
    He obviously struck you a kind of way that made you want to take the time to connect, and watching his face as he listened it was obvious that he really was listening, really did appreciate it, was soaking it in.
    What a way to help a young kid not just maybe get a start in watches, but in whatever line he ends up - to realize that there are people who will get in his corner if he presents himself right.
    I fucking loved it. LOVED it.
    Great episode guys.

    The first Patek - he’s probably making £120k because he bought it at retail - the client cultivated a relationship with an AD which involves making losses on other pieces and generally spending your time visiting them to land these pieces, now you’re mad he’s cashing in on that and you’re only making your margin that you would on most other pieces ?

    • @GBMM7
      @GBMM7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Im glad someone said something. Really tacky take from Adrian. Sounds like a little child who didn’t get his way. Wonder if Adrian would think the same way if he bought the watch and had a dealer saying “ahhh broo your making 120k on that not fair”. Pretty sad you should just keep those comments to yourself. Making 10K on a flip isn’t bad FOH with that.

    • @adriantaskin
      @adriantaskin ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Let me clarify…
      There is absolutely nothing wrong with making “7k” on a watch. Your missing the point…it’s basic math to make 3% gross margin on a watch that we will have to polish, and stand by and honor with our guarantee and warranty…will most likely result in a negative should a 6 figure perpetual calendar require ANY sort of mechanical maintenance. It’s a risk management on every level we must adhere to…your only seeing the 7k upside but not looking at the potential downside of covering a Patek Perpetual calendar under warranty…

    7K net on a possible 120K retail watch is not enough, you will end up losing much more on that watch. Just my own thoughts, I think Rolex Grey prices are going to fall a lot more. The Jewellery Godfather is brilliant !! I would chose the Grand Seiko over the Pepsi.

    Business’ should pray to be lucky enough to have an Adrian on there team. As a tradesmen myself. For someone equally skilled but in my individual Industry easy $50 an hour maybe a base hourly for when there’s no work and then when it’s the busy season switch to a percentage etc. Finding employees like him but in hour specific field. He can sell 10k + and 100k plus watches. Anyone that could roofing and Renovations jobs for me and come to work everyday. No reason an employee should not be able to make that if given the chance. Minimum 6 figures if you work hard. Harder in my area taxes are insane

    Netting 7 to 10k on 1 watch is not something to complain about at all. Of course that's not the goal in mind or something you want to aim for but I don't understand the issue in this case. Hell I'd rather make something than nothing and 7k is a good profit if you ask me. There is plenty to go around. 4500 to the company and 2500 to the salesman. Everyone should be happy and move along to the next piece no complaints but that's just me 🤷🤷‍♂️

    Seems like 7k profit for just selling it isnt a bad deal? EVen if the owner is making more thats not a problem at all. 7k for "doing all the work" here isn't too crazy. Make it 10k for the service but just selling it that seems very fair. You dont get the "short end of the stick" because he bought it a good price and now its worth more. You spend the same time selling a lot of other watches for way less profit?
