That is not how supply and demand works. More watches in the bank means less on the market, demand might have decreased due to crime but obviously not by much if you look at the market versus MSRP or prices a year ago.

Some traders enter the market with the intention of predicting market movements. They trade what they want to happen, but the excellent ones enter the market with no expectations, ready to watch and act when the timing is right.
The prices largely follow the stock market. When prices are going up, people are in line to buy. When prices are falling, people are lined up to sell. It's not complicated, folks.
For me it was inevitable the watch market was going to crash, alot of people making alot of Money on massively overpriced watches... if Rolex themselves see a watch at 45k retail, why should it be worth 100k?... always going to happen.
The watch market peaked and this is the beginning of the decline. It isn't a dip. People with money can ride this out for quite a while but anyone that's overextended is going to be hurting until the economy takes off again. Who knows when that will be.
Say you paid 300k for a watch list price 90k. It will be 30 years before you get your 300k back. Youve all been played for suckers because of YT. The dealers have made millions, youve lost the price of a house. Dutch Tulip Bulbs folks.
i think most people may buy a watch because you can not buy retail. so have to go to grey market, watches should never be an investment but for pleasure.
The second hand market or grey market was always inflated from the start a watch no matter what kind is only worth what people are willing to pay for it and that IWC and ceramic panarai are absolutely gorgeous
The war certainly isn’t the only factor, but this dude clearly has wealthy Russian clients that can’t buy right now. Grey market stooge like him almost certainly is deeply invested
michael just pointed out the most overlooked concern for the watch market going forward. SAFETY and as the economy continues to deteriorate more and more wealthy will be very cautious and not show off their wealth. nobody wants to be a target.
that has been happening for decades in a lot of countries. A robbery in a jewelry store and Michael is panicking, imagine if he lived in a South American country. He wouldn't leave the house.
Nice work Michael! Great questions… spot on. Dealers are a bit delusional right now, what interest would they have in talking down their assets… none🙄 They’re going to ride the Titanic down because they’ll have have to make the hard decision to or sell these assets at losses or for nearly no profit.
It is going to be like comic books and baseball cards. It went up in price out of nowhere and came back down. Comic books and baseball still have value, but the hype and flippers rise up the price. They both went down to normal value after the hype went away and are still around as niche hobbies.
It was also becoming hard for the dealers, the amount of money they had to spend just for a small margin was too big. Plus correction is the word you are looking for, not crash.
Why is the margin small? He said that someone with a 140k watch could sell it now for 120k. But the dealer buys it for 90k, that looks like a big margin to me? Or is it normally even higher?
@@Irishboyz Yeah, because overheads these days are quite large. You still make money, but investing $100k to make perhaps $10-20k is, IMHO, not worth it.
@@mitchellkepel6269 The gray market seller could maybe buy it for $90-$100k from someone, and price it for $120k. Which is already not a huge margin considering the large investment in just one piece. On top of that, if someone wants a 10% discount, you’re at $108k, meaning you’re making $8k to $18k (which is not a lot in the watch business), but if someone wants a 20%, or 25% discount, you’re losing money. Gray market resellers work on volume, and relatively small margins (especially on the most popular models), so when you combine a drop in margins with a lack of sales volume, it’s bad news. With that said, the way most grey market resellers were doing business, we can all agree that it’s their fault that this market correction is occurring. They just wanted to push the prices waaaay too high, and they reached the price ceiling.
The Octo Finissimo the most underrated watch this days, peolple don’t know how classy that watch looks and even has a record for the most thin watch made.
Sooner than later you will be able to get that GMT at your local dealer with no wait as the flippers clogging the lists will vanish once they realize there's no profit for them anymore.
@@samuelburton5576 So you expect the prices to crash within a month? Nothing goes up or down in one straight line. It took 4 years to reach these prices with all the printed and free money. Follow the trend, the trend is down. Considering what's going on in the world and higher rates the market will go down further from here. Give it time until the Autumn of 2023 to unfold completely.
@@samuelburton5576 Stock market, Crypto market, and watch market have been behaving the same for last 4 years pretty much. The question should be what is going to change this trend? Hey you know so well, go buy some pieces since it's already hit rock bottom right?
The prices will continue to go down to list and less for most watches as the flippers get out of the market and try to get rid of what they have ASAP. The real watch collectors are not that many to inflate the market this way.
Most who had money dont anymore, every day things will keep going up and most will eventually have to sell for less than they paid. Same with cars, houses and other expensive things.
The way the watch prices went up clearly did not make sense. What goes up like this will go down. Look at Chrono for any watch and the inventory is 20-30% higher than couple weeks ago. There is a lot dumping going on especially with flippers.
Thank you Michael 🙏. I bought my first Rolex from Seth. I’m really happy with the watch and Seth gave me the best customers service. Very professional. I’m looking forward of buying another watch from him soon.
That's not quite true is it. Rare models and models that are discontinued will always have a premium. Otherwise we'd all be driving round in Ferraris from the 60s as they'd only be worth $10k.
@@SimulatorWhiz How delightful of you ti chip in. He did say that, yes. However if you'd bothered to read the rest of his sentence, he said '...or any luxury watch...' So tell me, what exactly is your point?
so it's like any controlled market. diamond dealers keep dimonds in short supply to keep the price high, just like the watches. The watch dealers dont want people flipping watches because it would hurt the sale price. makes sense to me.
The reason the stainless steel watches shot up so much was because all the diamond jewellers bought every steel Patek, AP and Rolex they could get their hands on to ‘ice out’. Then the optimists realised and sold theirs with a view of making a quick buck and buying a replacement at MSRP from a AD but the covid lock down and the manufacturers limitations lead to low stock and high demand so the prices went through the roof.
Even with low inventory, Seth is always cool. With rates going up, investors are pulling money out of hard assets & its not the oligarchs that sets the watch market.
Really like how honest he was at the ending. Speaking out that he thinks the market will probably go down a little further isn't good for his business but honest..
Oh come on guys, the dip in prices is NOT because of the war. Let’s keep the narrative real and this would be an even better channel than what it already is.
100% truth. That really bad deflection. The economy was down treading in Feb, the luxury market typically peaks a few months after that turn, then implodes. This is the start of the implosion. 'nothing is crashing' two weeks into a crash which typically takes 4 months to bottom out. War ending, will not change the economic constraints. Russia gives up tomorrow, we aren't going to suddenly reverse embargos and sanctions. Thats wishful thinking, they can't truly believe that.
We went from Michael buying 150k in watches from Seth's store to a wachless Michael on a crashing market with a bearded Seth with no store just a seller.
2 years of watching and enjoying the crazy prices of watches, then boom the market has collapsed!! To be fair to Michael, he’s always said the prices couldn’t be maintained. Reminds me of the move the Big Short “we are in a itsy bitsy gully” 😀
When Seth decided to sell his business a couple of months ago, you knew that this was the top of the market... It is called "90210 watches" all of a sudden for a reason. Because his original company he sold.
Michael doesn't look like himself. His whole demeanor. He is a super nice guy and he actually loves his watches and now the stress to walk out the house with them. The smash and grab thing is happening everywhere now. It's craziness and stupid. Hang in their Producer Michael. Don't stop driving your cars. 👊😎
He's in a tough place because his business is in LA so he can't easily escape to a safe part of the country. Plenty of paradises without crime for the wealthy here in the USA but none of them are in California unfortunately...
You've gotta wonder how much of the smash and grab people are illegal immigrants and refugees. Maybe we should stop unknown individuals from flooding into our country so we can figure out what the hell is going on? A lot of these smash and grab people are part of black market eBay operations. We need law and order restored now.
The 'smash and grab thing' as now travelling around the world. In the UK we have today been treated to the appalling sight of a Labour MP espousing the defund the police mantra.
Greedy gray market dealers (that doesn’t mean the guys like Seth and Roman Sharf, rather the newcomers wanting quick money) shot themselves in the foot, pushing prices higher and higher made them hit the price ceiling sooner rather than later, which is now affecting everyone for better or for worse. This isn’t a dip, it’s a market correction towards realistic prices, and you know that ADs don’t give a damn about this since their prices are fixed anyway. We could be expecting a relatively normal market in a year or two. And remember, watches aren’t investments!
I’m not going to shed a tear for the greedy speculators out there who thought they would take advantage of the collective hysteria and naivety of other fools who were just ASKING to get scammed! You’re absolutely right, a watch is not an investment! It’s something you should buy because you like it and you can afford it, and you are not going to go into debt to acquire it!
Ofcourse macroeconomic factors influence the price in a certain market, but people need to understand the sine wave of price. The market goes from underbought to oversold. anywhere inbetween people will say it's crashing or skyrocketing. While you should only really use the term crashing for when price reaches a new all time low or skyrocketing when price reaches a new all time high. Also price depends on supply and demand and when price reaches a new high alot of people are likely to sell off their investments, causing panic amongst investors when prices drops a little so they start selling too. Eventually it will reach a point where the most investors feel comfortable buying again and the whole process repeats. It's been happenings for decades
Its not the war. Its the federal reserve and interest rates. Money policy is tightening. Profits are tightening. Stimulus and cheap money has dried up.
When people stop wearing expensive watches eventually people will stop buying as the fall in demand will adjust the market. Dealers will have expensive overheads if they sell fewer watches so be forced to reduce their prices , they can hold out for so long but eventually markets will adjust. The lesson of the Dutch tulip boom of the 17th century will always be revisited .
Seth has aged- you can tell this crash/correction is stressing him 🤣 dealers are all lying about how much this is dipping- ask him the price he would pay for a watch right now, most dealers aren’t buying watches today. That’s a scary thought
Seth does not have a poker face, his demeanor and body language showed fear, he knows the bubble has burst compared to previous videos where he was joking relaxes and happy
Isn't it funny how difficult it is to talk about Prices and Values when the dealer is always trying to scalp you by 50%? 😂 "Well see.... The CONSUMER could maybe still pay 140 for this watch, but a DEALER wouldn't buy it for 90..."
That second watch in the beginning with green looking strap had awesome dial colour.. to achieve that charming colour you have to blend two colours pink & yellow
Watches are waaaaaayaayayayay over priced. No one was paying 2018 prices, then people wanted to pay 50/100/300% more 🤔 hype markets are crashing( sneaker, crypto,stocks,jpeg,etc)🤷♂️

This reminds me of the Dutch Tulip Bulbs which went up above the average labor annual pay and suddenly crashed. They literally couldn't sale a single bulb. Dutch Tulip Bulbs were a popular recreational item among the wealthy like watches. Dont buy watches as investments. They literally can ruin you financially if it crashes. Buy watches that you like and can enjoy.
If they were investments, then at a minimum Warren Buffett would've talked about it. But, he's simply too smart to 'invest' in art, vehicles, watches, etc.
The "Tulip Bubble" was caused by people trading tulip bulb futures (promissory notes for bulbs yet to be produced) with no oversight or accountability.
Watch market crashing hard. Dealers trying for damage limitation but it just delays the inevitable. Also interesting Michael fearful of wearing openly in Beverly Hills.
What is being said about pricing on these watches is that the “asking price” is super high, but that is not what they are actually selling for. Crono 24 is not the actual prices for these watches
@@sirgeorgioalastrata4104 but for it to be safe nowadays, it has to be patrolled by armed guards like as if it was Kabul or Baghdad. A place that once was deemed the safest, where men would flaunt their new gold watches in safety, and where mistresses would go on lavish shopping sprees with wads of cash while wearing diamond colliers, is now like the backstreets of Kabul. And that's just the main shopping street. No armed police guards can ever guard all the residential streets. Back in the 70's home security was basically non-existent. Nowadays every house has cameras, safety doors, alarms etc... all for nothing because these career criminals know that Commiefornia will not punish them. So on Monday they get just a slap on the wirst for burglarizing a home, and on Wednesday they happily continue with some casual car break ins...
California chooses to protect criminals over law abiding citizens. Who in their right mind wants to protect criminals and make communities less safe? The literal definition of a government is to protect its people.
We all love Michael, but that isn't sad. What is sad is that 80% of the US money supply was printed in the last 2 years. Inflation is going to make life really hard for normal people. Michael will be fine not wearing a watch for a while.
Flippers will flood the market and prices will continue to drop a a result. Most work with a buy to sell system and therefore they can't afford to wait. I've seen Rolex GMT Batman at 16k from the previous 22k price on Chrono.
Well given that Seth is the "Grey Market" and trying to save face saying it's a small dip is comical. Off camera he's shitting bricks because he's getting hosed with all those Over Hyped Watches and the market is crashing right in front of his eyes. Only getting worse with inflation at 8.5%, gas prices rising, crypto crashing, stocks crashing, and a recession lurking in the closet. Kudos to you Mike for asking him hard questions and putting him on the spot. In it to win it! Stay safe out there Michael.
Well this has aged well lol. All those watches have lost another 20-30% in the Grey Market and continue to crash. Let's see how old boy Seth is feeling now.
I'm going nuts here. The war in Ukraine would have nothing to do with the watch market going down. Indirectly, sure, the economy as a whole has gone down for a number of reasons, including a war in Ukraine.
So the root beer GMT is an example of a watch that’s come down from $30k to $25.5k = 1) dealer being greedy to begin with if he can drop $4.5k and still make a decent profit and 2) a dealer who knows what is happening in the wider economy and shitting himself
The Russians won't be buying luxury watches or anything else for a very long time, even if Putin pulls the troops out of Ukraine tomorrow afternoon. The sanctions are going to there for decades to come. Sorry for anyone who was making money off of dirty Russian money.
Hopefully every normal business owner who wants to come across as genuine and authentic in order for him to FURTHER his business by being a kind person, which, in turn, leads to more trust and more sales. So basically most small business owners.
Yeah, the War in Ukraine is the issue with the markets, not the Federal Reserve creating more currency whilst products are not being created as quickly.
The crazy principles of the stockmarket reflected in watch prices. At least in the stockmarket, the intention is really to profit. You don't buy stock to look at it and admire its beauty. It's a fictional item that has value. In the watch world, it spoils the essence of watch enthusiasm, where profiteers take watches away from watch lovers.
You can see the pain in his eyes. That's what you get when too many people speculate on something, there are going to be a lot of people holding the bag.
Everything is crashing. We are at the beginning of a HUGE recession. If you haven’t already noticed it. Stocks are down, watches are down, real estate is coming down everywhere, I’m not gonna lie it hurts but it’s good. All these things have been blown up artificially. These bubbles have to burst. It’s utterly ridiculous and had absolutely nothing to do with supply and demand anymore.
The lesson is only buy an expensive watch if, it is spare money, you desire it and it looks good on you. If the watch appreciates in value; that's a bonus.
That should have been the rule everyone follows. Watches are NOT an investment, they're an expense.

Some traders enter the market with the intention of predicting market movements. They trade what they want to happen, but the excellent ones enter the market with no expectations, ready to watch and act when the timing is right.

The watch market has crashed. This dealer is trying to sugarcoat the situation.
@@sohayibsadie9543 its been skyrocketing for years and a fall of 5%-10% is what you call a crash? You are a smart one

The prices largely follow the stock market. When prices are going up, people are in line to buy. When prices are falling, people are lined up to sell. It's not complicated, folks.
feels like 90% of people in the comments don't know how markets and economics work yet all seem to be experts in investing.
For me it was inevitable the watch market was going to crash, alot of people making alot of Money on massively overpriced watches... if Rolex themselves see a watch at 45k retail, why should it be worth 100k?... always going to happen.
The watch market peaked and this is the beginning of the decline. It isn't a dip. People with money can ride this out for quite a while but anyone that's overextended is going to be hurting until the economy takes off again. Who knows when that will be.
Say you paid 300k for a watch list price 90k. It will be 30 years before you get your 300k back. Youve all been played for suckers because of YT.
The dealers have made millions, youve lost the price of a house.

Glad to see some channels followers knows Economics.
Well, whenever prices go up, due to expectations. It's still a bubble.
its all hype thats all
The lesson is buy a watch at retail and enjoy it without trying to chase its resale value and you’ll be much happier.
💯
Inly way to buy retail price is via AD but they will never sell to the average public only very very VIP customers
Anyone who's paid $150k for a watch that was list price $40k and a year before was $80k who's now stuck $30k?
Darwinism has passed you by.
i think most people may buy a watch because you can not buy retail. so have to go to grey market, watches should never be an investment but for pleasure.
Straight to the point Michael! They were hoarding them and betting other dealers on prices daily, and now people no longer want to buy from them :)
The second hand market or grey market was always inflated from the start a watch no matter what kind is only worth what people are willing to pay for it and that IWC and ceramic panarai are absolutely gorgeous
Did Seth just blame it on the war🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Mind blowing.
The war certainly isn’t the only factor, but this dude clearly has wealthy Russian clients that can’t buy right now. Grey market stooge like him almost certainly is deeply invested
michael just pointed out the most overlooked concern for the watch market going forward. SAFETY and as the economy continues to deteriorate more and more wealthy will be very cautious and not show off their wealth. nobody wants to be a target.
its going to be a dark future ahead...

Nice work Michael! Great questions… spot on. Dealers are a bit delusional right now, what interest would they have in talking down their assets… none🙄 They’re going to ride the Titanic down because they’ll have have to make the hard decision to or sell these assets at losses or for nearly no profit.
Maybe I’ll wait to buy a luxury watch. Sweet deals on the horizon. When Seth stops buying watches you know there’s a problem.
Smart move
It is going to be like comic books and baseball cards. It went up in price out of nowhere and came back down. Comic books and baseball still have value, but the hype and flippers rise up the price. They both went down to normal value after the hype went away and are still around as niche hobbies.
@12AX7 EL34 You’ll have to wait otherwise there would be minimal markup in the secondary market.
...dead easy, right, @12AX7 EL34?
It was also becoming hard for the dealers, the amount of money they had to spend just for a small margin was too big. Plus correction is the word you are looking for, not crash.
Well said
Why is the margin small? He said that someone with a 140k watch could sell it now for 120k. But the dealer buys it for 90k, that looks like a big margin to me? Or is it normally even higher?
@@mitchellkepel6269 if a retailer doesn't double their money, they think they're losing money... Crazy ☠️
@@Irishboyz Yeah, because overheads these days are quite large. You still make money, but investing $100k to make perhaps $10-20k is, IMHO, not worth it.
@@mitchellkepel6269 The gray market seller could maybe buy it for $90-$100k from someone, and price it for $120k. Which is already not a huge margin considering the large investment in just one piece. On top of that, if someone wants a 10% discount, you’re at $108k, meaning you’re making $8k to $18k (which is not a lot in the watch business), but if someone wants a 20%, or 25% discount, you’re losing money. Gray market resellers work on volume, and relatively small margins (especially on the most popular models), so when you combine a drop in margins with a lack of sales volume, it’s bad news. With that said, the way most grey market resellers were doing business, we can all agree that it’s their fault that this market correction is occurring. They just wanted to push the prices waaaay too high, and they reached the price ceiling.
First comes the luxury goods market…. Then falls everything else.
Completely agree. The luxury goods market is a leading indicator for the economy. There’s a lot of correction coming. In watches, cars, homes, etc.

The way the watch prices went up clearly did not make sense. What goes up like this will go down. Look at Chrono for any watch and the inventory is 20-30% higher than couple weeks ago. There is a lot dumping going on especially with flippers.

so it's like any controlled market. diamond dealers keep dimonds in short supply to keep the price high, just like the watches. The watch dealers dont want people flipping watches because it would hurt the sale price. makes sense to me.
The reason the stainless steel watches shot up so much was because all the diamond jewellers bought every steel Patek, AP and Rolex they could get their hands on to ‘ice out’. Then the optimists realised and sold theirs with a view of making a quick buck and buying a replacement at MSRP from a AD but the covid lock down and the manufacturers limitations lead to low stock and high demand so the prices went through the roof.
Not true
Even with low inventory, Seth is always cool. With rates going up, investors are pulling money out of hard assets & its not the oligarchs that sets the watch market.
Really like how honest he was at the ending. Speaking out that he thinks the market will probably go down a little further isn't good for his business but honest..
Oh come on guys, the dip in prices is NOT because of the war. Let’s keep the narrative real and this would be an even better channel than what it already is.
Well recession is soon to come
100% truth. That really bad deflection. The economy was down treading in Feb, the luxury market typically peaks a few months after that turn, then implodes. This is the start of the implosion.
'nothing is crashing' two weeks into a crash which typically takes 4 months to bottom out.
War ending, will not change the economic constraints. Russia gives up tomorrow, we aren't going to suddenly reverse embargos and sanctions. Thats wishful thinking, they can't truly believe that.

Greedy gray market dealers (that doesn’t mean the guys like Seth and Roman Sharf, rather the newcomers wanting quick money) shot themselves in the foot, pushing prices higher and higher made them hit the price ceiling sooner rather than later, which is now affecting everyone for better or for worse. This isn’t a dip, it’s a market correction towards realistic prices, and you know that ADs don’t give a damn about this since their prices are fixed anyway. We could be expecting a relatively normal market in a year or two. And remember, watches aren’t investments!
Shoot * otherwise, 👍🤔
I’m not going to shed a tear for the greedy speculators out there who thought they would take advantage of the collective hysteria and naivety of other fools who were just ASKING to get scammed! You’re absolutely right, a watch is not an investment! It’s something you should buy because you like it and you can afford it, and you are not going to go into debt to acquire it!
Makes sence. If a business copy its competitors, they both will suffer
roman taught the others how to hustle , he is no saint. he admits to hoarding and adjusting prices
Roman isn't a greedy gray market dealer? Really?
Ofcourse macroeconomic factors influence the price in a certain market, but people need to understand the sine wave of price. The market goes from underbought to oversold. anywhere inbetween people will say it's crashing or skyrocketing. While you should only really use the term crashing for when price reaches a new all time low or skyrocketing when price reaches a new all time high. Also price depends on supply and demand and when price reaches a new high alot of people are likely to sell off their investments, causing panic amongst investors when prices drops a little so they start selling too. Eventually it will reach a point where the most investors feel comfortable buying again and the whole process repeats. It's been happenings for decades

😂 So true.
When people stop wearing expensive watches eventually people will stop buying as the fall in demand will adjust the market. Dealers will have expensive overheads if they sell fewer watches so be forced to reduce their prices , they can hold out for so long but eventually markets will adjust. The lesson of the Dutch tulip boom of the 17th century will always be revisited .
Recession will burst watch price bubble. Dealers hold large inventories bought at historic high prices. They will sooner or later forced to sell
Seth has aged- you can tell this crash/correction is stressing him 🤣 dealers are all lying about how much this is dipping- ask him the price he would pay for a watch right now, most dealers aren’t buying watches today. That’s a scary thought
Is there a video setting that’s off or does Seth have a bad spray tan???
nothing wrong with dealers sitting it out for a while watching and waiting. that makes perfect business sense.

Buy watches that you like and can enjoy.

So the root beer GMT is an example of a watch that’s come down from $30k to $25.5k = 1) dealer being greedy to begin with if he can drop $4.5k and still make a decent profit and 2) a dealer who knows what is happening in the wider economy and shitting himself
I’ve always wanted one of these…you save up to buy one then the price doubles, or more, its frustrating for people that just collect watches..
The Russians won't be buying luxury watches or anything else for a very long time, even if Putin pulls the troops out of Ukraine tomorrow afternoon. The sanctions are going to there for decades to come. Sorry for anyone who was making money off of dirty Russian money.

The crazy principles of the stockmarket reflected in watch prices. At least in the stockmarket, the intention is really to profit. You don't buy stock to look at it and admire its beauty. It's a fictional item that has value. In the watch world, it spoils the essence of watch enthusiasm, where profiteers take watches away from watch lovers.
You can see the pain in his eyes. That's what you get when too many people speculate on something, there are going to be a lot of people holding the bag.
