EP 417: What a $50,000 Watch Buyer Actually Cares About

EP 420: Is Audemars Piguet Still Worth Buying Today?

Audemars Piguet was one of the hottest brands during the peak watch market years. Royal Oaks exploded, prices skyrocketed, and everybody wanted an AP. But the market changed. In this video, Chris breaks down whether AP still makes sense to buy in today’s market and why the answer depends entirely on the reference. From buying, selling, trading, consigning, and sourcing watches every day, we’re seeing a major shift in how collectors approach AP. Because today, buying “just any AP” is not the same thing as buying the right AP. Let us know in the comments: Do you think AP still makes sense right now? Which references would you buy?

EP 417: What a $50,000 Watch Buyer Actually Cares About

Most people think a $50,000 watch buyer is focused on the watch, but that’s not how it actually works. At this level, the decision isn’t just about the watch. It’s about trust, risk, and long-term ownership. In this video, we break down what serious buyers actually care about: - Why the dealer matters more than the watch - How high-level buyers think about risk and downside - What ownership really looks like 5-10 years later- Why subtle watches dominate at this level - How does buying behavior change as the price increases This isn’t entry-level buying. This is how experienced collectors actually think. If you’re moving into this price range or want to understand it, this is what matters. Let me know your thoughts below.

EP 415: Why the 116610LV Hulk Refuses to Cool Off
