Totally lost with the comments on here. Guy buys new Lamborghini or Porsche and the first thing most owners do is get the paintwork ppf protected. This is no different.
Ive fitted over 100 of these kits for friends and associates from Invishield, Styx, and others.
The key is to add a micro amount of fairy liquid for lubricity and we are talking dab of a finger amount and always dip the tweezers in the solution before raising the part to apply, as this eliminates any marks on the underside of the part and also it won’t stick.
Always pat the part, never push with the tweezers and never try and push out air bubbles, over 2 days they will be sucked away by the compression of the film on the surface.
Ive protected AP Royal Oak chrono full bracelets and many precious metal pieces and if done correctly, it’s impossible to see from over 2 feet.
To me I understand the purist thought, but if this is something that’s a longterm investment, imagine after 10 years pulling the stickers off and you have an absolute immaculate John Mayer underneath…
NEVER use coatings, I ceramic coat Supercars and HyperCars and like this on paintwork, any error and it’s not coming off…
You mark a front fender and you peel the film off with no damage underneath and apply a new bit of film, hence additional parts for when you do damage a link, the film will be marked but not underneath, so you just reapply a new part. Who wants to keep polishing a watch and devaluing it?
While I’m not likely to add protective stickers to my watch, I have to say I don’t understand the visceral antagonism some express to doing so. If the stickers don’t affect the look of the watch I like, the watch might get more beaten up with hard use without them - we all agree that watches are to be worn - and the stickers can postpone refinishing and protect the appearance of and investment in the watch, what’s wrong with using them? I can’t “really” appreciate my watch and wear it the way it was designed to be worn unless I do so without stickers? Seriously? The objections seem to me to be “purist” for purity’s sake. Great episode, Avi. You’ve got more patience than I!
Avi your podcast was outstanding and provided so much value. You should definitely continue these videos. The viewers of this content are real buyers and not here just for production value. Please come back and continue!!
Very helpful video! I am installing one now at a rose gold Daytona as we speak. Thank you for making this
No, I've worn my GMT Master 16750 for 40 years, 24/7, 365 for the first 22 years and 30+ years as my one watch. Tim Mosso of Watchbox told me that if I had told him that the watch was kept in a box for 40 years, he'd believe it. So wear, enjoy and maintain your watch and stop worrying about a few scratches. Watches can be polished.
is there a chemical reaction of the adhesive and the watch metal which changes / corrodes the watch in the long term?
First congratulations on the amazing watch 💯 a grail watch for me and second please do a update on how they look after a week or so I was looking at these myself but maybe just a clasp one 🤔
You got it!
Avi, that card you quickly dismissed and set aside at the start of the video most likely has a QR code on it that when scanned provides installation instructions.
Question. if the stickers are water activated doesn't it automatically make them also non water-proof ?
I am on the fence about this - I just picked up a yellow gold skydweller and I am not sure if I want to do this or not.
Don’t. Not worth it.
he said “Now bend over”, I said “I’m subscribing” 😂😂😂😂 I’m so childish 🤷🏽♂️😭😭
Ooh very interesting.. There must be a few Bamford Rolex out there in the wild and I bet they are collectable.
They're definitely out there, not many but I see more of the DLC ones available.
@@greymarketpod I have met George and he's a nice buy. I've often thought all the Bamford Rolexes must be a very collectable thing.
Excellent content
Loved this video
Keep it up
Thank you! Will do!
Is there stickers on the sides of the links?
Will u doing an update on this re how effective in a month or so?
Sure, I'll post it in a few weeks.
I liked watching this. Don’t know that I would use it. However it was interesting. I would have maybe put it on my buckle when my 36mm date just was new.
Yeah... might remove them everywhere but the buckle in the near future.
The same here, I’m keeping the stickers on the clasps but that’s it. As the rest of the watch it loses its lustre with the stickers on.
I recently received a Tudor and did not even realize it was stickered up first. Lol
I use this on all my rolex watches. The start to peel eventually though. One hard rub against the lugs and the film starts to peel from the corners. Still, it's a good product. Better than the competition
Had the same experience. Decided to remove them because it was looking crappy.
Glad to see you back Avi. This seem like a decent product, and as to its price, well that's just relative to the quality. As you said there are less expensive brands out there, you get what you pay for. Thanks for letting the community know how to protect their watches.😊👍
Thanks for the continued support!
@@greymarketpod
It's an absolute pleasure Avi😊
Are you guys still doing podcasts?
Real menu is a must!!!!
I wanna try this so I can wear my Sub to work. I am a maintenance guy and I constantly beat my Seiko to death and don’t want to do it to my 50th birthday present. I just want to enjoy my watch and not crush it.
Give it a try! I would recommend any brand really, they're probably all the same.
I put a Hybrid ceramic wax that i ues for my car
It would be a value added service….
I feel like taking the bracelet off would have made things easier , really cool segment tho❤
You're probably right! Thanks for the support!
Really enjoy your content, Avi! Keep up the good work!
Great video Avi. I was just wondering whether this product devalues the watch? Also, what does the watch community say about these products on watches? Keep up the great content. Lots of love from Australia. Abs.
For the amount you paid for that watch the company should use a factory hardness coating
recently i was trying to trade in my 126613lb for a 126710blro comes with a jubilee bracelet. Initially when the watch technician inspecting my watch was saying that there were some scratches on my sapphire crystal and my bezel, he said they will deduct about $700 dollars from the agreed price to make up for the damage, so i told him to go ahead to remove the protection film. And to my good surprise, both my watch crystal and bezel look as good as new (those scratches were on the protection film) and the deal went through smoothly. Of course i have some watches that i have no intention to sell or exchange for another watch, but there are some other watches in my collection that i might consider selling and trade in later, so protection film actually worth the investment from my experience.
Is this the film that you used?
I get the concept, but isn't part of the joy of owning a gold watch the tactile properties of touching the gold? Doesn't it feel a bit plasticy if it's covered in film? I'd be tempted to go bareback
If offered at a fair price I’d have this done
Watch condom. Just wear the darn watch! 😂
Just wear it.
Painstaking to me !
What happens if you swim with the watch. Does the film come off?
It did not when I tested it.
😂😂😂
It's a true paradox to have 50K available to spend on a watch and have to put a piece of plastic on it so it doesn't scratch. Really unfortunate.
You might as well not wear it if you're so afraid of scratching it. Plastic is not the way to go.
That's an option.
But when you pay 50k for a watch you want it to look it’s best
@@greymarketpod Still love the content. It's great that you're doing different things on the channel.
amzwatch I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
anyone who puts protective plastic on their watch should just keep it in a safe, or sell it
would agree
But then how do you wear it?
@@greymarketpod if i hit one of my watches on something i cry for a few days then get over it
@@Jayphobiaut what If you could avoid the scratches & crying 🤔
Imagine hitting your watch and laughing screaming “you’re no match for my watch we’re immortal “ 👹 👺 😈 😂
I’d say if it’s your daily watch and you put stickers on it, then it’s quite redundant. But if it’s a really rare piece and it’s not for everyday wear but for once in a while but you still want to experience it but not leave scratches on it then it’s all good. You need to have a core reason and decision. I have a watch in my collection that I don’t wear because from the start I made my decision to not wear and put scratches on it because it’s a display piece for my graduation. And I wear the hell out of my daily wearer. Don’t get me wrong, I love my daily wear but that is the watch that I trust the most
Trust me, any kind of protective film will dull the watch and make it not pop as it should. If you are too scared to scratch it, then these kinds of watches are not for you.
Agreed. Ended up taking it off.
@@greymarketpod🤣🤣
In Toronto canada I buy a super super clone I bring it to a rolex expert he say it was real rolex . Unbelievable. Your super clone look just like mine. You a expert but a regular person like me will never know. Imagine on nkuwan
