Hello All,
I am proud to be releasing a new series on my YouTube Channel - "CONFESSIONS OF A WATCH DEALER."

Learn some of the nasty tricks about dealing in watches...

The Watch Snob says Vintage Watch Dealers are "one level above cocaine dealers."

That is probably a bit harsh... but enjoy some of the antics of the watch dealing faternity....

(No direct links due to some minor swearing issues).

You say you use the name "Archie" instead of your real name in order to save your self from being black listed from watch dealers.

Then why @ 16 seconds into the video do you show your face?

There are no videos at that link. I don't know whether to complain or be grateful.

The latter. We learn "dirty little secrets" like dealers will always try buy a watch from you at less than it's worth. I'm shocked! I would have sworn they always offered exactly what it was worth or more. Anyway, that little gem of a secret took 8 minutes and about 50 F-bombs.

I had a feeling it was silly of me in that other thread to argue in favor of posting links to his videos.

"If I was actually caught revealing these secrets, other watch dealers would not deal with me again. That's the reason I've chosen the name Archie. It's because my real name I try to keep a secret."

I think it's more likely the other watch dealers would refuse to deal with him because of his implication they are all too stupid to figure out the guy who goes under the pseudonym "Archie" in his videos is the same guy who publishes e-books under his own name.

Stupid is as stupid does.

What possessed you to watch a second one? Were you really expecting it to get better?

Now here's a watch video that is genuinely interesting and informative. (I agree with some of the commentators that the audio mixing is problematic, but whatever.) Ironically, it is featured on one of Archie's websites. I just linked straight to Youtube.
