Why I Quit Watchfinder

You are watchfinder! without you there's no sense to watch the watchfinder channel.

Like this genuinely funny guy. I will give his new channel a spin

We know that voice! Cool.

I preferred the microphones, it was a good schtick. You'd have thought they would offer you a stake rather than have you go. I hope greed isn't hidden in here somewhere, its bad for your soul.

We will gladly follow you on your new path - you are - with a distance - the best in business 🙌🏻

just tell us when a watch is shite.
happy to be here mate
good luck.

The iconic and witty voice has returned. I shall follow it.

This guy is the man. He brought me into the world of watches and I'll continue to follow him wherever he goes.

It is also fair to say you quit a company which promoted Rolex! Your now ex company, and many out there never actually tell the consumer what a brand new Rolex costs. The problem with high end brands, is them in general terms. They advertise a watch, but they cannot fulfil consumers, or normal folk like me. You are basically put on a list if you can be verified, as a customer/consumer this involves documentation, your income, you past present and future, and if you are from lets say Dubai posting on tiktok, instagram and “wealthy enough to own the brand”, post it on a vid, you are most welcome to quite cheap and affordable Rolex’s, and others brands, but not to the level that non ethical company does.

Ridiculous because they sell their watches at half the price the secondhand market does. Meaning, as a company which claims to be non profit, bs, allows consumers to literally go crazy, purchasing these Swiss marvels, yet do not get involved somewhere along this chain.

Rolex is a predatory company, and their ethics are a disgrace.

True fact is, more Rolex watches are sold on sites like watch finder, than Rolex can produce. Why, false advertising.

And arrogance is Rolex.

Which also owns other brands which you probably are wearing. Shhhhh, Tudor Hype!

If anything, they destroyed what watches are about. Telling time, and about time someone out there spoke out.

Seeing more people dumping their smartwatches for mechanical or quartz ones.

Good to see your face bro

How can something youve created not be yours? Was it taken from you underhandedly?

What the fuck. I just watched toy story 3 today. Thats so weird. Guess thats my sign to subscribe.

I knew your voice sounded familiar

Whats the watch at 3mins?

I never watched that other channel and only ever seen yours here. Occasionally the older ones from the other channel pop up where you’re on it. But the newer videos from over there, dude trying to talk like you now 😂😂😂😂😂

Whats the Cartier at 6.15?

Funny as hell Andrew....Good Luck from the USA

Happy joy-joy feelings, good fortune, health and lashings of happinesses...

I'm howling with laughter at the way you're talking about AP and PP watches :D. "Dribbling morons" and "begrudgingly adopted red-head"!

"Hey, we could RENT them a watch and treat them like subhuman scum." - Rolex Exec (Probably)...

Change is good

Watch finder arse holes , I rang up once to px my ap ,such an obnoxious twat on the other end of phone ill never ring again

When you said a sponsor here and there I thought you were going to say “an avante gard eyeglasses company!”😂

You are extremely Funny! Been loving your channel

Not being a watch afficionado, what was with the reference to Breitling? Are they not good watches?

Belated congratulations, Andrew. Commiserations to Watchfinder for losing a trailblazer.

cant imagine watchfinder without your voice 😊 its their signature

As a casual viewer I thought you WERE Watchfinder. You'll do just fine my G

Quite late to the party, but I did always watch Watchfinder to hear you talk, so my subscription to this channel is obvious.
Looking forward to the future, Andrew :)

right on bro!!! Next, you should make watches!!

ready for it

Glad to have found you again.

You did well in the past and managed to not out shine the master for 13 years, as Robert Green would say. Now is time to be your own man and you have a new follower. Thanks for making exceptionally well produced videos.

All this time I thought you oned the business 😮 man your knowledge, reputation and voice are worth millions !

I am typically not one to go onto Social media and trash talk. However, I feel that I need to share my recent experience with Watch Finder last month. (April-May 2024).

At the end of April 2024, I sent in two nice Rolex watches, both from the 1970's. Watch Finder requested pictures, so I obliged. I sent in all sorts of high quality pictures, including the watch movements, dials, and case back information, etc. After I got the all clear to send them both in, I did just that. I sent in both watches at the same time, and both watches were received within one day of one another at a warehouse in Texas, both watches being received by the end of the week. I knew that there was going to be approximately a 5-7 business day turn around. I waited about one full week before reaching out since I hadn't seen a status update or status change on their website. I wanted a status update and wanted to know when I'd be paid. I called and spoke with a Manager in NY, and he stated that he'd have to look into where my watches were an get back to me. I waited a couple of days, and no one had called me back. I called their shop in NY and inquired about the status, since the status on their web site hadn't changed at all. I spoke to a nice person, and he said that he'd have to call me back. He did call me back later that day, but gave me very little details, and said that he'll have to talk with a manager and have them get back with me. So I waited about 3 more days and no word. I called their store back, and left a voice mail, but no one called me back. I waited another day and called back, but instead of pressing option 2 for selling, or option 3 for after care, I pressed option one for sales. Sure enough, someone finally answered. I was very calm and was just wanted an update. The manager I spoke with told me that he wasn't too sure on the status, and that he'd have to call me back. The manager called me back later that day, but stated that the authenticator rejected the one watch, due to it "being beat up." I asked for further clarification, and the manager was pretty rude at this point and said that there was some paint missing from the dial, and that the hands were "beat up." Mind you that both watches are from the 70's, and are in pretty good shape and have some patina. I mentioned that when I sent the pictures in, that they were accepted, and I was told to go ahead and send the watches in. And now you're telling me that the watches are not good enough? I was like, ok fine, just send them back to me.

So about another week goes by, and my watch still hasn't arrived. Plus, my other watch was showing as "pending authentication" on their web site. This time I called and asked to speak with a manager. I wanted to know where my one watch was, and why my other watch has been siting in the pending queue for almost two weeks now. About a day later, I checked the web site to check on the status of my second watch, and it too was showing now as being sent back, with no further details as to why. I called and spoke with another manager after jumping through all of the phone tag games and finally got a manager on the line. When I asked about my watches, he was quite rude and said that they were both being send back to me and that he didn't know why. I was like, fine, just send them back with shipping insurance and send them back today. I was tired of the run around and just wanted my watches back. I got both my watches back in the mail within two days of each other. I checked the backs on both watches just to make sure that they didn't swap out the movements, and I do not believe that they did. But as far as the run around, and no explanations as to why they jerked me around, I never got a straight answer. But I finally did get both of my watches back. I will never go through Watch Finder again and highly suggest that you don't either. Feels like a scam operation.

Congratulations! I love your videos… excellent content, great information & your sense of humor.

Watchfighter is your new name

i can't believe you didn't have your own parking space

The summary of the Rolex section is "Rolex is super cheesy and people will soon get tired of it".

Well damn... I was wondering why Watch finder had not popped up in my feed in a while. Glad I found you in my feed today, subscribed of course.

I am excited! This form of content is more engaging than watchfinder ever was to me. Watch Finder would be something to have quick videos to pass the time talking about the sophisticated watches. But I am happy to see you on your own platform and I think this is more entertaining and I will be interested to come back and see more. I really enjoy watching Foamer Simpson and how professional him and buckets are. As far as fashion stuff goes I watch their channel but all my first channel I’d watch heavy and still do is MikeRich23. I love Nike footwear and have always been infatuated with watches since my first chunky G Shock. Thank you!
