Yes. This is one incredible watch. I've never held a watch like this in my hand. That is one incredible watch. Yes. That is- incredible watch. It's the finest watch I've ever held in my hand. I've never seen anything like it other than photos. Carefully. Do not drop it. Keep it in a safe deposit box. Good.

@convoku All of that is true. Consider that this is a man who's obviously spent a good portion of his life in the field of horology and antique timepieces. You can feel his appreciation practically seeping through the video.

Plus, you know, it's a pocket-watch worth as much as a nice house.

when the guy told him 6,000 dollars the appraiser looked offended...

[Ultranothing]

@suics Well, yeah, this guy has a near sexual-attraction to horology.

What a great appraisal...An excellent Appraiser with an unsuspecting and sincerely suprised owner.

2:45  "I''ve never seen anything like it... other than pearls." ?

One of my all-time favorites. The appraiser was genuinely thrilled to be able to see and touch the watch and the owner was dumbfounded when he got the appraisal. Keep you "csi's" and "law and order's". This is good t.v.

6000 bucks for a fucking Patek Philippe antique watch, the troll who appraised this watch must have been a fucking con man or has Down Syndrome, he didn't see the Patek Philippe logo instead he saw Micky Mouse, you can only get a shit one for that price, this watch is in such great condition, looks amazing and above all timeless.
