- New Grey Market Episode: "My Plan to CRUSH $130 Million in Sales in 2024"
• How I'm Going to Sell ... -~-
This week on GREY MARKET I take some customer calls, get a visit from a fan & customer for some repair work, and of course, have some fun calls with our friends @NicoLeonard & @grandcaliber9999.
Some amazing new watches get delivered to the office, I give our new sales guy Alex some feedback and go over his numbers for last month.
I also have a monthly meeting with my execs about our sales figures for last month, our goals, and how we're going to reach them. A constant battle in our office is Wholesale vs. Retail and things are about to get messy.
Next week on GREY MARKET sit in on one of our partner meetings where things are known to get crazy!

Anyone catch the bloopers at the end?? 🤣
Love your content bro I’ll be buying my watches from you soon
Reality TV gonna come knocking soon!
moreeeeee
Dude! I love this show! Best channel on TH-cam.
I'm gonna look out for them. Are you watching the euros 🙂 football (not soccer) 😅🥳
I’ve watched a bunch of watch sellers on TH-cam and I have to say Roman is the most genuine by far. You can tell that he is just a good dude first and foremost, watches aside.
This is better than most reality shows on tv and I'm learning about a business I have no connection to but it's fascinating!
38:56
I lost it with the delivery of, “that is a beautiful outfit right there, Michael.”
Then watching Michael, with less than a handful of watches, carefully sizing up those boxes. “...I’ll be back for those.”
Man these are made like a TV show. Big thumbs up.
you guys missed at 56:00 anna saying he needs to be up my a**. lmao 🤣
59:23 Some good insight into the margins of the industry in this section. Based on the given data, "$1.1 mill" in wholesale revenue vs "$558k" in retail rev, "27%" overall margin, and only "$59k" more profit (assuming gross) on the wholesale side.
You can work that out to about 25% margin on the wholesale sales, and about 35% margin on the retail sales.
Good to know when you're negotiating with your dealer.
Michael’s outfit killed me ! There should be a separate segment on “what is Michael wearing today!” Gold.
Hi Roman, can you add when the people speak their names & their role? Especially in the grey box.
Good idea
Rich people will always remain anonymous
@@sarahconner9433 no he mean the employees names and roles
@@benjaminrivas2831 ohh your correct.. Thank you....check out " Trax NYC going in on ben baller and Greg the jeweler"
@@sarahconner9433 greg the jeweler has a good content of watches and she deserves more suscribers
At least you arent on here raising money in a pnozi scheme way for your new store and Richard Mille on credit!!!! One of the only legit real Watch channels left
Who was doing this lol
@@MoAli-wm4of timepiece gentlemen
@@tajtahmeena8635 this comment aged well lol ... The hate for that dude seems to only have grown... I've seen a few vids posting evidence of his shiesty dealings and overall I agree with those saying he's got a shitty attitude. He had to raise money to replace that 1.5M loss from that robbery in LA, which I think I heard somewhere was not fully insured, resulting in a big L ..
@@MoAli-wm4of they’re not bad guys. I’ve had a great experience with TPG buying. That fundraising thing was bogus, but I don’t think it was malicious in intent. They have phenomenal customer service and I can only recommend based on my experience.
A recurring theme I see with Roman is despite the fact that he runs a $100 million company, he has a sense of humility and doesn’t let his emotions get the better of him. You deal with a lot of egos in the luxury business and it takes a lot of composure to keep a cool head. Also, a lot of business schools fill your head with this idea that management is a philosophy. No, this guy gets his hands dirty and you can tell he understands every aspect of his business. If the shipping department was short staffed, he’d roll up his sleeves and work there if he had to. I hope he writes a book.
This series is the best thing on TH-cam. Please keep it going!
Roman that was the best "week in the life" episode I had ever seen on ANY watch channel. Keep it up, love how you have give background info about your colleagues, and have overarching story lines, it makes it super interesting
Great Alex you're doing well, keep that feeling and passion to work.
I appreciate you 🙏
Automatically like this video before watching it, I have that much faith in Adrian and Roman!
Same
Same here 😆
Always!
Definitely
I wonder how much times a day he says” I’ve been doing this for 18 years”😂😂😂😂
I mean, that's def something I'll say all the time too. That's an accomplishment and he has all the bragging rights he deserves, he work for it so he can say whatever the fuck he wants.
Today he said "having done this for 19 years "
I been a piece of dogshit for longer sooooo
I been said this on another vid. He is relentless in reminding ppl, it's a bit of reflex at this point. At least he changed it up and said 19 years one time lol.
Next year the big " 20 years "
I’ve recently found this channel, and have instantly became addicted. Mainly bc Roman is like the most legit guy I’ve ever watched. Just the way he does business, the way he treats his employees/customers, and even the way he is a boss to his employees is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. After you watch just 1 episode of this channel, you can see exactly why this guy is so successful. Just so beyond impressed.
Nico is the wolf of wallstreet of the watch business. He hittin that coke double lines before doing a videocall
Roman has been so long in the game he knows what requires to do!!! This is too good - Roman and co. are producing a bloody Netflix show, this is very interesting as oppose to others. Well done guys!
That cop is definitely high on ice lmao
45:08
Roman: Hustle doesn't stop, new month you're at zero
Alex: I've been living my life like that...while wearing a $900 Balenciaga hoodie!! This kid Alex is the best!!
@Aly O what brands are worth the quality?
it's a rep
@@DGRWPF yea I noticed that too
Really enjoy the editing, backstory, personal view, side comments, such great added value to get everyone's insight. Your desk camera is soft focused on you and targetting the pictures on the wall, really Roman I never thought you were the kinda person that needed to use diffuser filter to hide the wrinkles...haha
Nico always look like he did more coke than Pablo 😂
Assuming he's from Nethterlands he's using some other substances
@@degree33 he lives in Belfast NI
@@degree33 We don't just smoke weed, we enjoy other substances too.
Ohh u kno these guys party hardddd I use to hustle on 47 st it’s part of the culture
@@jameshyres633 ?
Watching Adrian's facial expression changed a lot during the deal discussion is so funny.
Don't even need to watch the video to give a like.... And I rarely gave likes ever but this and Timepiece Gentlemen got me!
Congratulations on 50k subs, your channel has exploded in recent weeks. Took me a while but I’ve seen every single video you’ve ever produced. Keep up the great work, love it 👌
this is good enough to be a NETLIX reality series - good Job guys!.. keep it coming!!!
I can spend my entire hours watching your Chanel over n over again, great content..🙌
Love this new series and the collaborations with TPG, Nico and watch Eric, you guys are killing it
I could watch 3 hours of this, please do longer cut 🙏🏻
Every time I watch you videos made in the office I think I'm getting emails, I keep hearing YOUR computer !!! lol
Awesome! Video! Great to see a real company and not just a puffed up flipper! You are the Man!
That's a nice 10usd green fruit of the loom sweatshirt with some writing on the chest. This guy knows how to live a frugal life.
The 8 people who gave a “Thumbs Down” are Authorized Dealers.
TV show quality seriously. Y'all are killin it. watch the subscriber count go crazy now. About time tho y'all been doing this for a while!
1:03:37 of awesomeness! And the best part no ads ✅...... Wootwoot
I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying your day to day videos of business in your world, Roman. Im a big fan of watches, and you, as well. Your professionalism and knowledge are inspiring to anyone who owns any kind of business. I follow many of your fellow TH-cam Channel enthusiasts, and some of the others do not speak well of others in your industry. I admire how you treat everyone, with whom you have contact. Excellent content and huge congratulations on your success. I would enjoy a bucket list visit to Luxury Bazaar someday for a purchase. Cheers mate!!
"Is sideways" Anna had me rolling, 👍❤️. Pura Vida
Hi, Roman. Just a suggestion. I would recommend using a barcode inventory system, this would allow you live logistics on all your inventory, repairs and pending. If you need some help setting it up, I can help. Love your show.
Next Level TH-cam ! Without any add 😱
WE dont have anything Like this in Germany... Awesome Work guys
It had ten adverts. You must have an ad blocker
Wow!!! now you are taking it to another level, loving it!!! and please let us get to know Michael!!
Nico nailed it: You guys deliver a better customer experience than so many ADs. And if you want the watch and you have the money, you get the watch. That’s not gonna happen with an AD in most cases.
This is so true
As a logistics supervisor who works for a supply company, looking at your storage/shipping room.. I laughed. Lol.
That Patek is beautiful. It reminds me of a Zenith Elite Moon Phase Ultra Thin, which is pretty much my favorite watch on the market right now.
That client call... it almost sounded like Kevin O leary
I love how Alex always looks at the camera like in The Office lol
Damn my head is spinning!!
Loved seeing how Roman runs the business, truly amazing and driven bunch of people!
Would love to be part of the team but I’m across the pond as they say!
Anyway, back to my 8-6 job as a god forsaken traffic warden!!
(Hangs his head in shame)
I’m currently thinking about starting up a business with my best friend and I hope we can make a success of it like Roman and his team 💯
I love Sales and i love Watches. Time to rethink my career.
Roman! We love ya here in GA. Keep making these videos please. You are a role model for many of us !
Lou
Adrian is one of those people I just didn’t like from the get go. I stand by that.
“The customer is not an interruption of our work, the customer is the REASON for our work.“ ❤
Man my dream is to work for a company like this unfortunately in Australia you don’t get much opportunities just constant learning about the watches is so freakin cool love it good job Roman.
You need to be in Melbourne or Brisbane and the opportunities are there ... Waiting to be found by You .. best of luck my man
This day in the life episodes are the best keep em coming
I switched from listening on my phone while running errands. To treating it like a TV show watching it on the couch off the big screen. Absolutely a game changer.
Still grinding and working for my first watch! You and Anthony are the best watch mogul channels on the whole TH-cam! Keep doing what you’re doing guys!! ❤️❤️
Thanks Roman for few points I got from your video conversation with Nico. I sell German made luxury product and you got me thinking about possible mistakes we are making chasing a sale and losing perspectives of what we represent.
Roman, like you're just an awesome guy man...like I wish to have a friend like you..
Roman with the original duck camo 90s. Favourite sneaker in my collection respect bro
Hi Roman: The Patek 5207P that recently sold at auction for $1MM you mention was a *piece unique* made by Patek for (and owned by) Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, former Sultan of Oman - with a unique one-off special all platinum bracelet. A 'normal' PP 5207 should sell/auction for well under under $700,000 - all in, including auction house premium (and one, still new in box, just sold for that amount at Phillips)... Best, Todd Levin
Man, I wont be surprised if you guys get picked up by History channel or one of those for a show.
I think Roman has a better chance of getting picked up, way less look at me and agression.
Best episode yet guys! Loved the insight into the strategy, I hope we get to see that partner meeting :-)
Awesome content... you make it feel like one watching is part of the crew, I let it run on my tab, while I am trading. GF is happy to know that she does not need to hear about watches since I get my daily dosage worth here !!!
This is the way to do a blog in the watch biz, great show. Other than having to watch nico, really enjoyed it
Your videos are probably the biggest education I have now 👍
Why have I just found this series. This is amazing. I would kill to work with these guys .
When I finally make it. You guys are my 1st stop. Getting that gold AP and a red dial yellow gold Rolex with diamond bezel. And maybe even a champagne dial yellow gold presi
BRILLIANT video. Nice to hear the detail and the way you will get there. can't wait for the next one.
These episodes are awesome. I sincerely enjoy watching them. Thank you 👍😊
Great videos I like the style, once the boarders are open be a pleasure to meet use guys at the IWJG show.
Love the series. Glad it's a weekly thing. Thank you
That GT performance bike takes me back to being a kid, that bike is so fucking awesome.. Man the memories that we forget and then get brought back to the light are sometimes bad, but ones like this that are awesome just makes my day. Awesome bike man, great taste
Thanks for this Roman & team.
HHOOLLYY SHIITT that part at 38:55 fkn killed me OMFG 🤣🤣
Awwwww shiiiid. I binged watched the other 2 episodes yesterday. This dropped right on time.
Damm Roman, the intro of you talking about $100M business is 🔥🔥!
Richard Miles ...the new guetto watch .... to match with a Cuban link necklace 😉
I just wanna say this content is amazing and keep it up. I'll be tuning in again next week!!
Keep doing it Roman, its a truly joy to watch! спасибо за контент!
Great job you guys , the videos are getting greater and greater every week.
Groundbreaking look at the watch business. Love it.
HAHAHA!!! Americans are one of a kind! I'm just 38 seconds into the show and have to stop just to drop this comment! Roman get in to the warehouse with his "florete" offering a duel. Michel response: First I thought he will put his pants off and show his "florete". But then he shows a gun. And Romans reactions was like "Oh, look at that" and carry on with business as usual. Here in Europe you have one of your coworkers showing a gun and we will be all running towards the emergency exit door. Hahaha... unique, there is a reason I'm such a fan of Roman since day one. This guy is fantastic.
The production of this video is exactly why my generation won't ever pay for television ever again. During the filmed clips, the interjections of the "clarification" clips was done perfectly. Nothing in this video was overly simplified, or felt to slow the pace, but made me as a viewer, feel like I was a fly on the wall during the meeting with a friend whispering what the fuck everyone was talking about. Fantastic editing, content and delivery.
Roman you have to revamp your website brother to make it more inviting to potential retail clients.
Great video. You can see how popular these videos are where people can really see what it is like to run a business like this. Really enjoyed the conversions about retail vs wholesale and it will be interesting to see how this goes going forward.
These are great. Such good watch channels now. Roman the OG
Love the way you dol business and deal with people immaterial they do business or not with you...you have your head right on your shoulders....It would my pleasure to meet you someday....and btw your watches are just amazing
Dude very great show. Love to see logistical issues and the other members of your team. It’s like getting a open back watch; to watch seeing the gears tune in your company. Great show... other member of your team are the jewels that keep your gears working. Behind the scenes is the way. Your movements are decorated and well placed. Continue to continue.
You guys are killing it!!! Please add subtitles for your phone conversations, makes it easier to follow along!
There is no subtitles for nico. He makes up his own language 😂
These gray market episodes are the best!!
Love the content Roman, really inspiring and educating. Regards from Switzerland!
Love your videos, not sure why you don’t have a million subscribers. I’m from HK, and a mecca for luxury watches. What you said is spot on, SA judge you based on what you wear.
Great behind the scene exchange of business owners getting to a consensus to be successful.
Watched .03 seconds and smashed that like button!! Can’t wait to watch this
My favorite part of the video was you giving sales advice to your new salesperson. I’m in sales myself and while it’s obvious to me hearing it reinforces it. I feel like watching your video and Marco and Anthony’s help me with my own business.
Hello Roman, instead of the Loudspeakers, get a 2 way radio instead you can use anywhere in your office.
This show reminds me of Pawn Stars, it's a pleasure to watch Roman, well done!
Best episode yet ! The quality and story telling has improved hugely! Netflix please take this show !
Funny how Adrian’s stance on Roman’s peace’s never changed
i just subbed and finished watching # 1 and 2 perfect TIIMING*
I liked how in the other 2 épisodes you would put a pic of the watches you're talking about... that was nice
@1:03:33 ROMAN: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS SOLDDD!?!?!?!" IM CRYINNNNGGG HAHAHAHAH LMFAOOO
