Y'know I've never met a woman who was even vaguely into watches. At most a Cartier tank, though more usually a "fashion brand" as an accessory to general jewellery stuff. I've known many women big into cars, including working on the oily bits, fishing, hunting, gaming, carpentry, martial arts, pretty much every hobby out there. About the only other women free zone I can think of would be stuff like model trains and the like.

Even among men it used to be extremely niche. Now you always had lots, even most men wearing one, pre phones anyway, but it was almost always one and often a gift and a gold(or plated) dress type watch, a digital or a generic diver type. Actually collecting was the reserve of weirdos and nearly always older guys. I remember on my first browse of London dealers way back in the day where guys I talked with were surprised a guy like me in his twenties had an interest. A fair chunk of the more recent interest seems to have been the investment angle and the bling factor as it's about the only jewellery men can wear on a daily basis since tie pins(and ties) and cufflinks went the way of the flesh and among younger men, or at least younger men started to take interest.

Wibbs TBH that "how much I make from yourtube" is a standard video most of them make at around the 20k subs mark. At that stage the money is enough not to make a mockery of doing it but not enough to make anyone jealous or feel they are paid shills.

Ah right Fitz gotcha. I didn't know that. I suppose my main Tube channels would be history, cars, science and the like and most aren't "personality" driven.

Yeah the "cute girls playing bleepy games" streaming thing seems to be a thing alright. Simp city by the looks of it. Not a shock either. I mean there are men who pay and pay enough to sustain the porn industry when it's all a free click away. To me paying for something like porn is akin to going to a dive shop to buy an aqualung so you can pay for air. So many poor buggers paying for some "connection" or something. Maybe I'm over sensitive, but I find that terribly fcuking sad.

I ain’t on instagerm or fakebook (and cool enough to use slur names for them) but has he a few watches for sale at the moment?

I see stagnation “at best” for the next 12-18 month (which is the same as 15 percent drop given inflation levels).

Market will find its own level. Sellers are still unrealistic. While there are lads thinking second hand speedmaster are “5k no offers” the market can get fucked as far as I am concerned. These were 20 percent off retail 2 years ago and selling brand new for 3.5k. Ye were stupid enough pay full retail for a speedmaster then don’t expect to recoup 80 percent of it second hand.

I’m surprised he didn’t add in the Rolex’s he’s currently selling just for any eager buyers .

Yes he’s a new & old model airking and an OP he’s been spamming for sale over the last few weeks .He’d be doing you a big favour by letting you buy them though.

scwazrh · 26-08-2022 11:53pm

There it is Lads. He told us in his most recent video that the time to buy was now cause the prices will go back up …Here’s his post now proving his point..

No shortage of self confidence and believing his own BS

lol, seems his understanding of statistics is about as superficial as his understanding of Quantum physics and relativity. Read the axis there Oisin, you are inferring trends from tiny changes of around 150 euro. Also with inflation at 10% any flat slope is actually a 10% loss, but look he is creating his own reality.

unkel · 27-08-2022 9:15am

The latter isn't entirely fair though, is it? If you stick €10k in a Rolex which stays flat in value or if you keep €10k in your bank account, both lose 10% per year in inflation at the moment

The opportunity cost of money is negative so it seems, precious metal, crypto, classic cars, stock market, pension funds, antiques, all gone to sh1t

The inflation loss is a loss, doesn't matter what the oppertunity cost is. The 10k you have in a Rolex has 10% less buying power every year at the moment. (yes buy more watches, or other investments, but the point of an investments is if you needed the money for something necessary not flipping into other investments, and that money will be worth less) Stocks doing ok so long as you stay out of the hype stuff and good time to buy index units. Property strong. Gov bonds are really good at the moment 4-9% and are iron clad. Plenty of inflation beating investments so long as you are willing to go medium to long term. Watches are also becoming more and more illiquid too.

Sure watches are subject to the same economic conditions as everything else....but they are also a bubble asset for the last few years, so a correction back to the historic growth curve is a long was to drop and we have not seen it yet.

893bet · 27-08-2022 10:54am

Jesus.

Those graphs of the last month are symptomatic of the overall problem facing the industry driven by retard YouTubers like Timepiece gentleman “todays price is not yesterdays price” approach.

The very idea that you can monitor watch prices on a daily/weekly or even monthly basis is a new phenomenon. And using a platform so open to manipulation like c24…..foolish.

He is trying to “call the bottom”. If he is right he is an oracle. If he is wrong no one will really remember. Its just important to remember regardless if he is right or wrong he is a **** tool of the highest order.

scwazrh · 27-08-2022 5:00pm

If he is right he is an oracle. If he is wrong no one will really remember

Without a doubt . if he’s wrong he’ll delete his post and pretend it never happened.Anyone remember his posts slagging of Conor McGregor ?

McGregor got his solid gold yachtmaster II and posted a pic with a comment of “ the biggest gold Rolex they make “ to which Oisin screen shot it and posted “ who wants to tell him he’s wrong “ and “This lad knows nothing about watches “ and other such smart arse comments.

He quickly deleted the posts when it was pointed out that it is indeed the largest gold Rolex they make

j2 · 18-09-2022 12:49pm

Has he gone and reposted the controversial video with the French woman? Seems like an odd move after that has died down.

Sure he’d do anything for a bit of drama now.

I notice there’s no big value watch unboxings lately with him , the grey sellers are obviously wise to him now .I’d imagine he’s on a cash up front basis since the nico dramatics .

I note very disappointing views on the Venice video....no Rolex in the title and nobody watches. Actually the views are not great at all given 60k subs....7k views on that Zero West Oscar nominated documentary??? Hardly worth the 100 hours he says he put into it.

As for the French Girl re-upload, thats classless.

scwazrh · 18-09-2022 4:38pm

I could tolerate his personality enough to be able to watch his videos when the video was about a watch or his earlier ones set in other cities , but certainly not interested in his “lifestyle “ videos . The low views would suggest I’m not on my own.

Agreed , uploading again the video with the French girl is classless and borderline harassment of her . She made it very clear she wanted nothing to do with him or his channel.He’s being true to form

j2 · 05-10-2022 5:29pm

Anyone watch his producer Michael video? Surprised it was originally taken down, it wasn't anything to get too fussed over. Producer Michael has a taste for watches that aren't everybody's cup of tea, surely he can acknowledge that? The majority of watch collectors would prefer Oisin's tastes, that can't be a surprise to anyone!

893bet · 09-10-2022 1:49pm

I tried to watch his “response” to watch gringa video but could t suffer his arrogance.

Her video was well thought out and edited. His was a lazy arrogant dismissive response.

Yep couldn't make it through either, such a smug, self righteous response as he puffs like a twat on a donkeys dick of a cigar...Get the feeling he is trying to get some of that angry victim white male, misogynist, raciest subscribers going.

I watched it through as it’s car crash viewing . He starts with she’s my great friend and I like her so much and then is completely obnoxious towards her.I don’t think it’s an act either , he seems naturally a disrespectful f*cker towards women.

Im not a fan of gringa but she’s only giving her opinion like all the other YouTubers are on the same topic .

Wibbs · 09-10-2022 5:16pm

I take it he's still pushing the notion that it's business as usual in the collecting watches game, sorry the used car dealer roll up roll up buy your investments here flippers game? I'm still on hodinkee's email list and latterly I've been getting emails about discounts on their pre owned watches, own brand straps and other tat. Don't recall anything like that a year ago, or before.

It's been a while since I went to their site, but one thing I noticed right off the bat after being away for a goodly while; the comment sections are way down on the numbers of a few years ago.

unkel · 31-10-2022 1:41am

Back to what he does best. In Bologna.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt128SJQh78

The DJ41 does looks far too small on him though in above pic, doesn't it? The AP ROO looks a better fit. Never tried one on, must go do that.

Fitz II · 31-10-2022 9:18am

Anyone that can make it all the way through that should get a medal. The DJ41 looks fine in that pic to me.

Cyrus · 31-10-2022 11:14am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119814480#Comment_119814480

was gonna say, looks fine to me as well if im honest, the dj41 is no shrinking violet especially with the jubilee and fluted bezel.

scwazrh · 31-10-2022 1:18pm

The datejust is a very noticeable watch , lots of wrist presence and bling in that configuration.

41mm is not small on anyones wrist .if the likes of Dwayne Johnson can wear it and look well proportioned the rest of us in the real world will be fine. I doubt anyone here has a larger presence than him .

unkel · 31-10-2022 2:08pm

Might be a big lad, but his wrists look about average size to me. O'Malley's wrists are substantially bigger than average. Like that guy from Edinburgh watches. Most watches he wears look far too small on him too. But I seem alone here in these observations 😂

unkel · 31-10-2022 2:14pm

Here he is with a 40mm bluesy. Love that watch but it wears like a 36mm on his wrist:

Cyrus · 31-10-2022 5:21pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119815382#Comment_119815382

The rocks wrists look average , leave it out Unkel 😀

he is 6 feet 5 as well as being the most electrifying…..

He would eat an o malley for a pre work out snack wrists and all.

unkel · 31-10-2022 5:38pm

He's a huge lad of course, but his wrists don't look big to me. Same with Arnie, he would eat Dwayne for breakfast but doesn't have big wrists either 😂
