Video Description

In this video I share the top 50 mistakes when buying a watch, no matter if it's super affordable or ultra luxury. Join me for an essential guide to buying watches that will help you to avoid making the same missteps I've made over the course of my watch collecting journey. From hidden costs to look out for, to scams and grifters to steer clear of, this is a comprehensive list for everyone and anyone, from the budding watch enthusiast, to the most seasoned watch collector, and advice that's an accumulation of my nearly two decades of watch collecting experience. As always, these are my opinions only, so please use your own judgement and experience when making a decision about a watch.
