Is it just me who thinks it’s suspicious that the person who lost the $25k watch wouldn’t call the cops first about the theft and instead decided to pay money to get his watch back?
Trust the process had mine done it’s as thick as carpet now … he’s in the ugly ducking stage now it falls out an regrows best money I’ve ever spent ….. only thing he done wrong he should have shaved is full head and started a bit further into is own hair
I was wondering what wa going on the last few episodes...it's like transplant kinda thing? reading the comments somebody says that it grows back eventually? How does it work and how much does it cost?
This is the second time Roman’s gone all the way to New York, gone to Ariel, and wasted his time 😂 he wants to get in on the districts hype so badly but he’s an outsider. Also 1800 for that panerai is an insulting offer, offloading your expenses to the seller, half of which are done in house by staff to justify lowballing like that is ridiculous.
@@RL-ww5ev if you have an in house watchmaker doing your service you’re not paying per service you have them on salary. A strap for a watch supposedly worth 1800 is not 1700 dollars (the difference in the market price and the offer price). I can do simple math.
The Strap argument is also invalid because a "sweaty" rubber strap is literally the easiest issue to solve and even if you insist on replacing the band, it is a couple of hundred maximum.
Love this video. This is why I started watching your channel for this kind of content. (I did start with what’s on my desk) and I do miss watches and whisky but love this everyday buys and selling type of video.
Vis a vis that Panerai deal. $1k profit on $1800 purchase is excellent. New cars net only a couple K profit. Good to remember when negotiating your next watch purchase. There’s plenty of room to move.
in addition to that, the people who are watching the hawk tuah girl, are not the same people who are buying high end watches. the people who watch the hawk tuah girl and similar things, don't spend money on anything and are only interested in quick bursts of entertainment. no matter how brainless it is. don't even try appealing to those people.
Please take this in the right way, “Unique” means being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. Most of these watches are mass produced and in no way unique. This won’t put me off watching these videos, love the content. 👏🏼👏🏼
Alex, don’t sweat the mooches bro. Those guys will never be happy no matter what you do for them. Tell him to kick rocks and go sell it himself and he can make all the profit himself. Service and Marketing are expensive and then commissions and shipping plus fee’s depending on how it’s purchased and where listed ….. save time and sleep and forget him or you have to absolutely mind fuck him and play his own game better than he does - make him a stupid high offer but contingent on several things that you make up 😂 Love the content and wish you all well - can’t wait to come visit and buy something.
These guys would blow up if they did daily vlogs like these and not once every other month but 2 or 3 times a week they get way more views and more audience...
Post a white paper of how you come to your prices and post on your website. You'll no longer need to explain and sellers/ customers now has visibility. Also have a form on the website when you fill out details of the watch they're trying to sell and an estimated price range is shared (ie. KBB).
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the amzwatch has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
Как же приятно иногда услышать русскую речь, чувствуется какое-то родство даже) Было бы здорово увидеть кусочек где вы торгуетесь на русском, хоть 2-3 минуты)
Imagine selling something for something for half the price of its value to buy something for 25% over the value. How much longer do you expect this business to last?! No thanks I’m good lol
Of course is a rip off for that guy Panerai, because you will sell it for at least 40/50% more, i will never sell to grey market dealers as this is the solution like pawn shop…
@@survivalSC Agree totally, and they have to earn money of course, but paying or selling Panerai for that amount is insane...better hold it than do it like that.
@@vladansretenovic1952 I agree. But at the same time when you buy a Panerai you know your going to lose most of the money. It’s not a watch that holds any resell value. Maybe 25 percent of you need to sell pretty fast. You have to love the watch and not care what you get if you need to sell lol
don't get how Alex thinks his rationale makes his ridiculous offer any better, guy just looks bad here. Seems like bottom line is don't sell your watch to these guys
4:50 I watch this shit every fucking day. Imma be a dealer soon making deals with yall… coming from a stone setter out of San Antonio Texas mane !! Grey market MOB baby know what I’m talm bout !!!!
So you bought a dj for 2000, then paid 750 for service and lets put the costs up to 3000 with shipping etc. Then you list it for 4 995. Its almost 40% margin or 65% mark up however you want to call it. You have high margins while you cry you dont make any money on rolexes
He said after negotiations, they will sell for about 4,000. Their list price is not the final price. This is a very typical margin for watch dealers, if you don’t like it, sell it yourself. People have no idea how the watch market works, but yet everyone is an expert on social media.
@@tomdragon5272 so they post the the watches with a price that is 20% higher than the real value they estimate. Nice! They can do whatever and however they want but since they cry that margins are low, life is tough for them, say to people to stop using chrono24 while later they use it themselves and they post it widely on social media i can comment as well. Especially while i am not offending anyone.
Its is actually worse than that...the watch will not be serviced to the tune of $750. Why would it need service for such a high price if it is working correctly??? They can see if it can be set correctly and if its in working order when they get it. Why would it need a service after that??? It won't even be opened up to make sure its authentic because that is a problem they can fix later if it ever was the case especially with something so cheap that costs $1800 for them. They will also not change the strap unless it absolutely needs changing. Those are just points they use to lowball offers coming in so that they can make maximum profits on the resale. Alex said they change all straps on used watches but I do not believe that one bit. A client could have owned a watch for years and worn it a handful of times. Does that mean they will change the strap just because it is preowned??? Yeah right.
@@rajbasra8423 “ It won't even be opened up to make sure its authentic because that is a problem they can fix later if it ever was the case especially with something so cheap that costs $1800 for them” - this tells me you are a complete moron. Do you really think they don’t verify watches and not open them up?
Love how they're using an extreme case to dispute how they lowball collectors. I've also tried selling a like new complete modern VC overseas to them, they offered me the lowest price from any other dealer I reached out to, like 4.5k less than my next worst offer. Stopped wasting my time reaching out to LB to offer anything ever again. What they also don't realize is that by lowballing collectors they alienate us from ever wanting to buy from them too. My experience was not with Alex though, who seems to at least make some educational communication effort with the customer. The previous dude who was handling buying never bothered answering anything.
It's Awsome To See Kevin Go From Selling Cell Phones To Killin It,, With All Kind Of Designer So Fast,, Stay Humble Dude.. The Core Team Guys Are Ballin "Shootin The Shit" That's Half The Show, Roman's Knowledge Is The Other Half 🤙
i wonder when the Luxury watch market will collapse because there are so many rolex and APs out there. its just crazy to see how they sit on those watches...i dont get the idea behind watch flipping
I miss the old days of this channel. Now I feel like it's all about complaining about TH-cam comments, petty stuff and justifying their prices with a dash of random "TH-cam shenanigans".
When they were talking about views and popularity i finally get why everyone hates Vookum and Buckley. They hate that a kid came out the blue and blew up soo quick that everyone had to talk down on him , just because he gets soo many views and followers smh. And Buckley been doing this for years has a dial named after him which no one really does
You see how much y'all complained about views and others being more viral then you guys. If you asked yourself you know why. You have too much pride that's why those people don't care they'll do whatever to get views you won't
I think people are used to grey market dealers that do nothing to the watches when they flip them. They don't service them, they don't polish them, they don't add links, they won't add a box. They are just grimey flippers that just do it as quick as possible and the next person isn't getting the best watch they could have and these flippers give the grey market a bad name.
Love the longer episode!!! Thanks LB...appreciate you guys as always🙏So glad to have this content to watch⌚️✌️
If Adrian wants more subs we need a week by week hairline update.. .
Adrian's shedding hair faster than Luxury Bazaar is shedding employees 😂
Feels like an old school episode from before the challenges, keep these up 🙌🏻
Is it just me who thinks it’s suspicious that the person who lost the $25k watch wouldn’t call the cops first about the theft and instead decided to pay money to get his watch back?
I think it cause the cops would took the watch till everything in the investigation was done! I could be wrong though! It does look a tad suspicious!
@liam0asis most likely because the watch he"owned" was stolen in the first plane and he couldn't insure it so paid a ransom
It's all fake drama to garner views
Click Bait Title😮
It could be the adrenaline of the moment . But it’s important to never leave any valuables behind.
Just came to checkup that hairline, still MIA
😂😂😂
I thought it, you said it!
Trust the process had mine done it’s as thick as carpet now … he’s in the ugly ducking stage now it falls out an regrows best money I’ve ever spent ….. only thing he done wrong he should have shaved is full head and started a bit further into is own hair
In 1 year hes gonna be chillin
I was wondering what wa going on the last few episodes...it's like transplant kinda thing? reading the comments somebody says that it grows back eventually? How does it work and how much does it cost?
The watch market is dead! Unbelievable, but true! 😂😂
That's how an episode should start
17:45 "Thats because youre old" 🤣
Alex's part is a quality content!
Love that this video is a little longer, especially the part where Roman and Adrian are buying watches at Midtown.
I had you guys sell my IWC and the process was great , easy. Thanks for your help and enjoy the videos.
This is the second time Roman’s gone all the way to New York, gone to Ariel, and wasted his time 😂 he wants to get in on the districts hype so badly but he’s an outsider. Also 1800 for that panerai is an insulting offer, offloading your expenses to the seller, half of which are done in house by staff to justify lowballing like that is ridiculous.
Completly agree.
How do you know how much their expenses are and what would be a fair offer?

liked the chilling around with sales team and Adrian interacting with them all joking around.

Best episode you made this year! 🔥 More videos of Roman buying watches. 💪
Adrian being level headed and calm as always.
Gotta love seeing Alex getting in his bag 😂 but the breakdown was phenomenal 👌 17:55
That gold ap with factory diamonds is chefs kiss good.
Marcus is sharp, he understands the mentality about building a community.
the long videos are more engaging and make me want to watch compared to shorts / quick hits!
Vis a vis that Panerai deal. $1k profit on $1800 purchase is excellent. New cars net only a couple K profit.
Good to remember when negotiating your next watch purchase. There’s plenty of room to move.
Once again love the content, keep it up ❤
The answer the Adrian's question is your not do anything wrong. The problem is the watch community is tiny, miniscule, compared to the rest of YT.
in addition to that, the people who are watching the hawk tuah girl, are not the same people who are buying high end watches. the people who watch the hawk tuah girl and similar things, don't spend money on anything and are only interested in quick bursts of entertainment. no matter how brainless it is. don't even try appealing to those people.
@TNTahir I find it funny ppl think he's a smart guy he's a spoiled brat now
Love the uploads, you guys rock
Always worth the time
They are playing with the matrix’s on TH-cam boys . Smart’N up!
Entertaining video as usual gents. Love the quality of the video. Was that filmed with a new camera? Very crisp! Regards from Vancouver Canada. 🤙🏻
And now my boy is saying a pearl master is bad, in fact didn’t even know what it is. Hard to watch fr. *TEARS FOR MARCO* 😭
This is the kind of episodes we like! Great content!
Lol Adrian is lowkey a huge hater. He acts as if he’s job is something so spectacular and nobody else could do it.
Loved the longer eps. Reminded me of the first season
In the U.K a preowned Panerai 1950 Luminor with box and Papers is £4,450. Excellent condition with a 2 year warranty.
Please take this in the right way, “Unique” means being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. Most of these watches are mass produced and in no way unique. This won’t put me off watching these videos, love the content. 👏🏼👏🏼
Love the ZB shirt. Who knew Adrian was a fan.
Alex, don’t sweat the mooches bro. Those guys will never be happy no matter what you do for them. Tell him to kick rocks and go sell it himself and he can make all the profit himself.

Love the content and wish you all well - can’t wait to come visit and buy something.
I must be missing something here 33:48 Those do not go together at all 😂 good try though alex
Adrian's hair is making a come back. Lets make it viral
It’s stabilized…
Is it tho???
I'm sure he previously said he was heading to Turkey to get it fixed
These guys would blow up if they did daily vlogs like these and not once every other month but 2 or 3 times a week they get way more views and more audience...
They're hitting high on the drama bar like they're trying to get a TV reality deal
That man looks like the goodwill Ironman with them shoes on 😂🤣😭😩
I paused to read the text message, resumed video, then Alex read all our minds
You gotta go easy on Adrian man ! He might get a stomach problem 🤣
That was an entertaining episode!

Thanks for wearing a hat Adrian.
It's not easy to run a business when the commodity is tanking in value. I feel for you guys.
what happened to that guy Marco?
He got caught sniffing romans socks
Had a slap fight with Kevin and lost went back to eating poutine in mother's basement
Marco “resigned”. He said no bad blood but he for sure left LB out on a few deals
Marco been left LB... he didn't like how the business is run
Fired
Imagine selling something for something for half the price of its value to buy something for 25% over the value. How much longer do you expect this business to last?! No thanks I’m good lol
Look at Alex trying to act like a boss and explain profits and costs. Back in your box boy and let the adults talk
Great episode.
FYI. panerai is dead and never ever ever coming back.
I love mine I also know I’ll never get my money back so I keep it and wear it.
What happened to that grey market series?? After S2 it just stops or am I blind? I want to see more!
That’s basically what this is…exact same content
@@chexcollects Oooh ok, I am used to playlists etc so i was like : nooooo I want more! :). Will view the rest.
The stolen watch 🤔…… so the guy checked out of his hotel & forgot he had a $40,000 watch in the safe 🤥
Since when does Alex know how to speak or get words out of his Mouth without looking deeply depressed ?
Blood sweat and tears. You mean family in the business to hand it down. Nothing wrong with that.
1800$ for a naked Panerai is crazy,doesn’t matter if you pay shipping and changing strap it’s still a pathetic offer
Not when it’s a 3,000 watch.
Y’all literally sold me a beat up GMT LN with scratches all over the bracelet
So instead of dealing with the customer support to get a resolution, you went to the youtube comments?
Sounds like bs to me.

40 percent is not a high markup. And it’s not a easy sale. They talk all the risk buying then having to sell it. Pay commissions and have overhead.
A Rolex you can get paid about 90 percent of what it’s worth if it’s one that sells fast.
