This SHOULD Be Illegal in the Watch Business | Dual Time Podcast #23 - YouTube - Roman Sharf

Roman Sharf and Adrian Taskin criticize forced buying bundles used by some watch retailers, where customers must purchase less-desired watches or jewelry to gain access to sought-after models. They discuss the risks of these arrangements, argue that the secondary market can be a better alternative, and question the proliferation of limited editions and certain brand marketing strategies. They also examine watch-flipping courses and the risks often minimized by instructors, including debt, fakes, fraud, and market volatility. The conversation concludes with concerns about buyers backing out of deals and sellers misrepresenting altered or rebuilt watches as original.
