So on this video we're gonna be discussing the latest trends in the watch market and
in my opinion, personally after years of blue reigning supreme on the special editions and
all the hard-to-get watches, green is the new blue.
[opening music]
So it's been quite some time now where every single watch in the watch market that has
a blue dial brings a premium.
For example, the two-tone Sub or even the all-gold Sub usually has more of a premium
with the blue dial.
Let's not even talk about the stainless steel Royal Oak whether it's the self-winding or
the Chrono.
When you add the blue dial into the equation, I mean we're talking 5 grand more.
So for sure it's been quite some time that blue is the hottest color in the watch market.
But it seems to be that nowadays green is taking over that.
I mean, have a look at the Daytona.
I just did a video on recently, how that green dial has made such a big difference in the
watch.
It's unbelievable.
We're talking fifteen to twenty thousand dollars premium.
How about that AP Perpetual Calendar in stainless steel with the green dial?
Untouchable!
Not to mention the chrono version steel AP, with the green dial.
So honestly, I feel that it's safe to say right now in 2019 here in this hot ass summer,
green is the new blue.
How about that Day-Date rose gold with that olive, green dial?
It's a banger with that green dial.
Anything anniversary now has green to go along with it.
How about the Hulk?
I remember there was time where I couldn't even sell the Hulk.
Guys' wives would sit there and look at it and they just plain go, “I don't like the
green!”
Or guys would tell me, “I don't like the green.
It doesn't match with anything.”
It's safe to say, that green reigning supreme right now.
These green dials they're gonna cost you a premium.
For example, the AP Perpetual Calendar in stainless steel with the blue dial, again
hot watch, blue dial, is gonna run you $60.000.
Throw a green dial into the equation, you're talking 170.
I mean the prices are crazy.
The proof is there in the price.
Green is the hottest color right now.
Let me give you another example, Daytona yellow gold.
A nice looking watch.
It's gonna run you anywhere from 25 to 30 g's.
The second you drop that green dial, 50.
I mean, obviously they're being limited made, it's not like there's a lot of them.
Same thing with the Hulk.
They didn't make as many Hulks as they did the standard Sub.
But green is here to stay and I'm not gonna lie.
I like green.
In the past for example, the GMT remember with the green dial, the yellow gold one,
a lot of people never liked it.
I always liked it.
I mean, for one green is a great color.
It's the color of money.
It's the color of wealth.
It's the color of all sorts of stuff, fertility, and so on and so forth.
There's a bunch of Buddhist meaning behind it.
But green I always liked the contrast and it always pops especially in gold.
Another thing I tend to notice is that green is not only hot on the dials of the watches.
I also notice that a lot of the special editions that have the gemstones in green tend to get
more of a premium than the other ones.
For example, the 5711 in all platinum with the green stones on the bezel seems to get
a bit more of a premium than the blue and the red.
So if one of your grain watches happens to have green incorporated in it, you better
get it soon before they become unobtainable.
So feel free to comment below how you feel about green being the new blue.
