The Gray Market is in hot water. The Timepiece Gentleman disappears and clients wonder what gray watch dealer might be next. And to top it all off, things take an unexpected turn with Charlie on the yacht!
As a new hurricane sets its course for South Florida, an even bigger storm is brewing in the luxury watch reseller market. The popular YouTube driven brand, The Timepiece Gentleman, unexpectedly falls off the map...literally! Their store is deserted and their main Instagram pages and website are down, while team members, including founders Anthony Farrer and Marco Nicolini, stop answering phone calls.
Even though we haven't collaborated with TPG or really do business with them, concerned clients and dealers bombard us with questions about the missing YouTubers, asking us what we think about the entire situation. What will happen to all the watches individual clients and dealers sent them on consignment? What about the members who sent them $2,000 each for access to wholesale pricing and other benefits? This is why we devoted a portion of CRM Life episode 14 to address these concerns and provide our opinion on this unfortunate and unpredictable situation.
Will all of this collapse the Gray Market altogether? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Come join the CRM Jewelers in our new adventure. Get close and personal with high end models from luxury brands like Rolex, Richard Mille, and Patek Philippe, see in-store client interactions, and listen to interesting business phone calls, while getting a raw glimpse of the CRM family in action.
Like we promised during episode 13, we brought back the Q& A and answered some of your questions in the end.
Let us know what you think and would like to see in future episodes. Oh, and Charlie announces a little surprise for our YouTube followers on this episode as well!

Are iced out watches headed for a down trend? See below...

This video, we're gonna be talking about bustdown watches. Has the iced out trend finally started to melt?

So bust down watches or “iced out watches,” however it is that you like to call it had been very popular for the last twenty years, or maybe better yet, maybe like 15.
However, there's been a history throughout this trend and I'm gonna go over first of how it started and where we are at right now.
So in the beginning, there was only thirty six millimeter Presidentials iced out.
These go back all the way to No Limit with Master P all the way to Birdman and the whole Cast Money Squad. That's what really started off with the bustdown watches.
So after the 36 millimeter Presis, the next phase was when people wanted the watches bigger. It went to a complete different opposite from the small 36 to these large case 48 mm Breitling Super Avengers and Franck Mullers.
Even then they have aftermarket bands, back then for those Super Avengers to make them as rocky as possible.
I'm not gonna lie, they looked pretty good in those rap videos back them. I mean, it wasn't my favorite watch in any way, shape or form, but that's when the real flooding of the watches occurred.
After that, the next trend right after that was stainless steel 42-millimeter Offshores. That's when they really started to break out and say, “Wow, wait a minute!” Now they're starting to ice out really fine watches, you know?
It was a little bit ballsy and brave at that moment to get a stainless steel AP 42, drill holes in it and ice it out.
Now, these trends go through a wave and they go getting bigger and bigger till the top of the wave, right after that, they said, “Hey,” Presidentials 41 millimeters, those are the next ones that started getting drilled out and all iced out.
Let's not forget the Yacht-Masters with their size also became a very popular watch to ice out in that time.
So now comes the part when things really started to get crazy. From there, the iced out phase started moving into the 41-millimeter AP, both chrono, non-chrono, both steel and golds.
And that's when I really started to worry and I said, “What are they gonna do next? They're gonna start busting down Pateks?”
Sure enough! Patek Nautiluses, everywhere started to get bust down. That's w

It is no secret that polishing a watch removes metal, but when it comes to a gold watch, removing too much metal can be one costly experience!
So in this video, we're going to polish a $40,000 gold Rolex watch that's not in the best shape to determine how much gold it actually loses in the process.
For this, we sought the help of the best watchmaker we know, Chrono Sky (Instagram link below).
https://www.instagram.com/chronosky/
It just so happens that in a prior video we has already calculated the weight in 18K gold of this watch (Rolex Yacht-Master II reference 116688) to be 210.6 grams, so we'll also provide what percentage of its gold weight the Rolex watch loss.
You'll learn some interesting things from our findings, which will help you save a lot of money with the maintenance of your gold watches going forward! Oh, and you'll also get to guess how much gold the watch lost from polishing.
Happy Guessing!

A billionaire client of ours surprised us last week with a briefcase full of some very exclusive consignment pieces. Some of the watches you will see we hadn’t even seen before!
In fact, hours before this video was released, we had already sold the Richard Mille RM11 Roberto Mancini edition. We are positioning ourselves more strongly every day to help our client ssell watches from their collection. Whether it’s because they no longer want a particular piece or for financial reasons, using the reach of our socials to do this makes a lot of sense...especially during times like these that the luxury watch market is weak.
Which was your favorite piece in this consignment collection?
We will be releasing more content like this in podcast or live-stream format a lot more often going forward.
If you’re thinking of selling your watch, go to https://www.crmjewelers.com/services/watch-purchases/.
If you want to consign your watches at our store instead, please call us at 305-349-4000 or email us at support@crmjewelers.com.

This one is probably going to earn me some hate messages!
But why do sunglasses matter...especially when it comes to my videos?
For me, sunglasses are an important part of men's fashion. They're one of the few accessories that go on your face. They're a form of expression, a way to show who you are and even your mood. When it comes to eyewear, I'm more a fan of the luxury designer category.
I love cool sunglasses just like I love watches, even though I do not trade them like I frequently do with timepieces. Most of the glasses that I buy are hand-made by companies that just focus on making designer sunglasses. Even though not every single person is a fan of watches, everyone loves sunglasses!
Let me cover first the best models of designer sunglasses that I love and use, then answer a few questions I get asked a lot.
