You’ve NEVER Seen a Watch Collection Like THIS Before!

Next straw. I bet it looks completely different. Oh, yeah. Episode four with this madman. Love this guy. Luxury suit in Dubai with Khalid. We're going to see his personal collection. And I'm scared. Show me. Now, here you go. Let's start. It's not a very organized because it's my personal collection. So I've got some watches. I hardly get time to wear them. You know what is this watch? I have no idea. You know what it is? It's the series of this model. Do we know what these are? I've never seen one before in my life. Guess. Mark knows everything about these watches. Oh, Vacheron. Yes. It's a very rare models. You really don't see them. I'm proud of myself. Wow. These are crazy watches. Yeah. Now, I'm going to show you. You know this brand. Why do you keep them in plastic bags? Oh, because there's not enough space. So it has to be. We will go through it. You will see. What is this brand? This is... It's De Vitton. It's... Yes, that. David Toon is there. Oh, David Toon. David Toon, yeah. We did a video with them in Geneva. I have all different mix of brands. What brand is it? I haven't a clue. It is... Roger Dubuis. Ah, Roger Dubuis. This is Roger Dubuis? They made for Dubai. It's Arabic numbers. Very clear pieces. This is the watch recents that you were talking about. That you love this. Oh, I want this. It's your personal watch, right? Yes, but if I show you more, you want more of these. I know you're a watch lover. I didn't expect this. You thought it's which brand mostly? I thought you have a bunch of Rolexes, Pateks. We are getting there. Of course we are. These are the multi-brands, basically. I have someone who organized the watches for me, but it seems he's not a good organizer. Lang & Son. Yes. This is another type of... Oh, this is another one. This one, yeah. How many watches do you have in your collection? Few thousands. I thought you said a few thousand for a second. How many watches do you have in your collection? Few thousands. I thought you said that again. Hold on. Ask him one more time. Let me just correct my hearing aid. How many watches do you have in your collection? I honestly don't count them. But thousands. I think you have a few. I think he has a few thousands. You will get to know. Let's go through it. Are they all so disorganized? No, it's not. It's organized. Just doesn't have to be scratched. So that's why it's in the plastic. That makes sense. Yeah. Okay. Draw number two. You know this watch? No, I don't know this watch. I'm sure you know this watch. Let me see. These are beautiful watches. Have you seen this before? Yes. It's a... I wish I had my glasses. I'd be able to tell you. I don't know. From the shape. It's... This F. Pigeon is extremely rare. You know how much I bought it? You cannot believe it. $20,000. $30,000. This was given away for the opening of F. Pigeon boutique in Lebanon. And they made 99 pieces, I believe. Out of 99 pieces, only 10 pieces were in Arabic numbers. And the rest, 89 pieces were in English numbers. What do they call it? They call the English Arabic in the watch world. Right. It's crazy, right? And the price went up to $270,000. I had a customer. I never sold it and I'm not selling. Probably today I can sell for $150. And I bought it only for $30,000. So is watches investment? I would say so. Like if you buy the right one. Your favorite. Which brand is this? Moza. It's Moza. How about that? Round of applause for Michael. I love the dials they make. Beautiful. It's amazing. It's beautiful. Beautiful. They are very well known for the dials. So I collect a lot of Mozas. Okay. And here you go. What is this brand? You don't know it. This is... This is beautiful. It's what it is. It's a beautiful. It's Bouvier. It's a Bouvier. It's Bouvier. It looks a bit like an owl, doesn't it? It's kind of owl-y. It's beautiful. Owl-y? Is it a word? No. What inspires you to collect these all over the place? I love the movement. The brand, the model has to give something special that I love it. You know, every brand makes something nice. You know this one. You asked me if I collect Gerald Charles. This is my Gerald Charles. Look. It's a skeleton. Oh, that's pretty. That is very, very pretty. I'm going to show you a watch. If you knew what it is, then I'll be so happy. Okay, let's test it. What is this watch? This is... Excuse me. Was I right? This is a... Which watch is it, Martin? This one, I don't know. It's Christophe Claret. Pretty watch. I believe this piece is piece unique. Oh, okay. I believe this one is piece unique. We've said we're doing people's private collections. There's nowhere to go after this. I mean, this has just ruined it for us. I collect... Oh, I love this Zenith because it looks like... A Hulk. It has history, this brand. I collect a lot of watches with UA logo. Look at this watch. It's Beaumarché only. Beaumarché? Yeah, Beaumarché. But you have... It has a UA flag. It's the name of Sheikh Zayed. It makes it very valuable to have that. It's very valuable to me as well. Right. We call it our father, Sheikh Zayed. Allah rahman. Beautiful. He passed away. It's the father of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. In Abu Dhabi, yes. It's a Pigeon, again. With the Havana dial. Lovely dial. You know this brand? Probably you... Probably not. You don't really see a lot of these brands, but it's still... I loved it. I kept one for myself. Maurice Grossman. I know Maurice Lacroix. It's... This is a different Maurice. Do you have more, George? We're just getting there. It's still not the... Interesting models didn't yet come up. This is another F. Pigeon. It's like a wood dial. I have a lot of Bove watches as well in my collection. I'm pushing these back. And you know, this was Breitling. This is made for Etihad Airlines. Look with the Arabic... Some watches, even I forgot that I have them. For example, look at this. Sheikh Zayed Sultan Al Nahyan. Well, that's a very special one, right? Yes, it's Omega. Allah have mercy on Sheikh Zayed. He gifted these watches, yeah? I have a lot of watches like this. I'm going to show you all very soon. We are getting there. So we skip the rest. We'll go to the next drawer. No, no, no, no. MB&F. Yes. Do you know how I know that? How? Mark told me. See how many MB&F I've got. Very close to your heart. Yes. Nuts. You like MB&F, don't you? I love MB&F too. Really? Crazy. And I'll show you more. Look at the Rolex there. Is that a Rolex? A JJ with... No, that's not Rolex. It's not? We are getting to Rolex. Rolex is a lot of pieces. So I hide it somewhere else. Okay. You see this watch? I had one of the Royal Family members in Dubai asking, please give me this watch. I said, you know, as much as I love and respect you as a friend, but I cannot give away this piece. I cannot find it. Amazing. This is very similar to the Mille Miglia watch. It's a Mille Miglia. Oh, it is? Hey, are you impressed? Are you impressed? It's a very special watch. 250 pieces made. Probably whoever has it is a lover of a Sheikh and people around the Sheikh or from UAE, Emirates, they're never going to sell it. So it's almost impossible to find them. Since I bought this watch many years ago till today, I haven't even seen a second piece of this. You know this watch? The Effigion, right? You know this brand? I'm sure you know it. Just you don't have your glasses on. Parmigiani. Is this a Parmigiani? I have a baby blue dial, this dial. It made Arabic calendar and it's all the numbers are in Arabic. What's crazy though, Michael, is how many watch videos have we done? Probably a thousand at this point. Yeah, probably a lot. And there are so many brands in this video that you've never even heard of. Well, no, I know Parmigiani. That's a very well-known brand. I know because you said in the video it's cheese. So yeah, you know it really well. I think Michael is pretending to make me happy. To be fair, it is past his bedtime. Way past my bedtime. Did we even eat? I forgot to eat. Yeah, no. Maybe it's still jet lag. Look, look, look. Oh, double seal. This watch is, we say double seal. This one is double seal. We'll blur out the numbers. It doesn't matter because it's very old. Don't blur out the numbers. It's my daughter's date of birth, 2009. So I kept one for her, double seal. And it's my another daughter's date of birth. Same identical watch, double seal in 2010. 5980, blue dials, discontinued models. And I have the surprise for you here. 5711A, single seal. It's still the writings are there. I bought in 2013, the first year of my shop, I gifted myself for the opening the shop and getting into trouble and hardworking every day. How much did I buy this watch? I'm going to say you paid $20,000. You are the man. How much did you pay? $20,000. How much is today? $200,000. Say yes, make me feel good. Yeah. $150,000. I wasn't that far off. $150,000 sales, right? Yeah. Brand new. Guys, buy watches because this is crazy. And this is a piece that I wear it on a daily basis. Basically, it's 5712A. Beautiful. Words fail me. I don't know what to say. 5 million we've gone through, huh? Seriously. Look at this. Yeah, it's just some Lange's and Frank Muller and another case of F.P. Jean. It's Frank Muller with the Scheherazade's photo on it. Oh, look at that. This one was to celebrate the 40th Union of the Emirates, UA national day. Frank Muller collaborated with a boutique here, so they came up with this model. Even in gold version and black case, one of each. Completely mental. Some other random watches. This is quite special. I love this. This is the very new model, Frank Muller. The artist did it, so I found it funny, so I just put it to my collection. As you do. Why not, right? I mean, even Hublot's I collect. Many say Hublot and all this. This is like it's made for Dubai. All you see here has something with Dubai and all this. For example, this one. Breitling? Yeah, Breitling. You might think this watch is not special at all, right? I would have thought not. This is made. This is the order of Saddam, the Iraqi president. I know who that is. Yeah, it's Saddam Hussein. Yes, they have Saddam Hussein. He gifted to his pilots, people in the air force. Is it my imagination or is it missing a crown? No, it's on the other side. This was released in the 70s. Yes, I was not even born that time. This is automatic movement. What's the hole? The hole is... No, it's not a hole. It's not a hole? No, it's just black. The original of the story is that they didn't have an automatic chronograph. So they needed to put the crown on the other side to fit the automatic movement onto the caliber. Even very cheap watches I collect. Don't laugh at me, please. Do you have any psychos? Even, even. Yes, I do. Do you? Even GP, you know, it's... Yeah, Giraffe, here we go. Yeah, it's a world time in Arabic. But that's not a cheap watch. No, no, I'm not talking about this specific watch. I think you're running out of good things to show me. You're done with your collection now, right? I'm taking you to the bad things before taking you to the good things. Oh no, there's more. Let's go. There was no Rolex at all now. We start from there. Are you serious? And then we come back to the safe. Please, come on. Just so you know, it's now three o'clock in the morning. We're all very tired and it's just never ending. Here we go, Rolex. Oh. All with the UAE logos. It's written, Wazirat al-Defa. It's next to the UAE flag. Can you see that? Means Ministry of Defense. Those time was given as a gift. Okay. So... I want to know why those two are upside down. This made for the... In 2011, this was customized for the UAE National Day. It's only made 40 pieces. And you have two of them. Yeah. Of course you do. If I come across 40, I'm ready to buy. See, the logos are all different. See here? We should look at every single one in order. Please don't. Each watch has its own history. Can you tell us? Look at this. Guys, we're in another drawer. This is another drawer? They're all the same. Delirium set in. They're not the same. They look the same. Okay, I'm back. They're all the same, Kani. They're all the same. No, they're not. Look at this. Look, look. It's for Saudi Arabia logo. Oh, so Dubai. See? It's Qawat al-Barriyya. It means... Oh yeah, I can see clear as day. I don't know what's the English word for it. I've never seen so many watches in my life. Land Air Force? The Land Air Force? Yes. It shows we are really tired now. The Land Air Force is in the Navy. Land Air Force. No, no, no, no. No one made me laugh this much. Next drawer. But this is... They're all the same. I bet it looks completely different. Mark, what are you doing to me? I love this gold one. Michael. This is the Saudi military arm. Special Force. Special Forces, yes. Marines. Yeah, yeah. And this one is for... Subside down. Oh, this, this, this... This is the Dubai flag. Dubai Falcon. Before the Union of the Emirates. So it is... This is a heck of a collection, 70 years old. I mean, unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, wow. Look at the logos, how different they are. And every watch is made in a different year, for different occasions. These are beautiful watches. I mean, absolutely stunning watches. They are. Conditioned like new. They're brand new, yeah, brand new. Do you ever wear a new watch? Not really, it's just I have dreamed when it becomes a few thousands, I open a museum, a watch museum. This was always my dream from the start. That's why I collected. And each watch, we put it with the history next to it. This was given gift by who to who, on what date, on what occasion. But you should do that. You have more than enough watches for a watch museum. I mean, you really do. Yeah. I have more watches than Patek Philippe Geneva Museum. More number of watches. You have more personal watches than most dealers have for sale. Oh, by far, by far. Next draw. You will laugh again, yeah? I can't handle this. These watches go back to 65 years, some of them. So in 65 years, they're making these watches. I have been collecting them. Even watches are older than my age. Is this the last safe? No. No, next draw. Ah! And everyone's different, right? Everyone is different. It's Saudi Arabia, it's UAE, and some of them is Oman and Bahrain. So the logos are different. So you don't find these watches anymore. Look at the dial mark, honestly. And the Arabic calendars, the day and date. So here, the difference, you see, that's day date. It's the calendar written in Arabic, as far as the numerals. Yes, yes. Look at this. Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Sheikh Mohammed give this one. So for certain occasions, they give this one from the palace. The other one more for, let's say, the worker who worked for several years. These are very different. Yeah, these are even older. I was joking, they're the same. No, no, they're not the same. Look at this. This is truly incredible, though. I mean, really, really incredible. Next. This is Sheikh Khalifa. It's brother of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed. Really? Yes. You have to imagine, they need to be placed in order by Rolex. Yes. They need to authorize it. Then they need to be produced, shipped here, and they need to give it the process. The watches have been ordered by Sheikh Maktoum. Every logo is different. Every writing is different. They're almost in Arabic. You might see all the same. Do they still do this? It's become very difficult. So Rolex won't do it anymore? Not really. I have a piece that Rolex just recently did it last year for the National Day, but it's just engraving on the back on Rolex Daytona Platinum. Oh, look at that. This was always one of my favorite watches. I love this watch. Where do you get all of these? Do you buy them individually or do you buy them as a batch? Everybody knows me in UAE, so I keep collecting them. Everybody knows that I buy. Any watch dealer they get, they bring to me. We know that you buy these type of watches. I've been collecting it for probably even before I opened this shop. Right. I was always collecting. Any time, any extra dollars I had, I put into these watches. I mean, it's incredible. It's my toy. Some people enjoy going to cinema and doing other stuff. I just enjoy spending my money on these watches. It's a great way to spend your money. You have to go to the cinema a lot to buy these. You have to see a lot of movies, right? Tickets for cinema, it's less expensive. A little bit. Yeah, just a little bit. Just a little bit. You have to collect your money. We go back to Patek Philippe. Oh, this is the baby room. There's another room. Oh, this is not the main safe room. Why did I hear that was coming? Mamma mia. Okay, just give me a few moments. I think these are like very normal watches. Not interesting. So I pack them because I don't really use them. So we avoid to get scratched and damaged. Oh, green one. It's like you can have a rainbow full. When was the last time you were in these boxes? Oh, no, I don't really go through them. I just collect. I give it to my boys, add it to my collection. Just one second. You told me I hoard things. You told me that I'm the worst you've ever seen in your life. You are the most minimalist watch collector I've ever seen. Ever. Compared to this guy. Okay, I want to show you something. Oh, you said if I have cheap watch. Rado. Even I have. Oh, yeah. Why? But that looks like a rare one. Has that got a logo on it? Yeah, it has a very rare logo on it. Yes. This is all Patek Philippe. This is mental. I mean mental. Patek Philippe used to make watches for Iraq. And I have them. I have Iraqi watch collectors that they are very new into the watch world. Because they really didn't know much about watches. You know, this is a new market with a lot of money. They are looking to buy these watches from me. 10 times more than what I've paid for them. You watch a lot. Never. When you came back in the day as a guest from the palace, you more probably would get one. Can you get me an invite somewhere? Any one of these places. Yeah, have a coffee and a watch. Yes, this is special Patek Philippe watches. All comes with certificate. They're in white gold, rose gold. Can you believe Patek Philippe used to make watches like this? Different time. We just browse by. But if you pay close attention, the difference in the variations. This is very, very, very, very hard to get. Some of the dials, maybe stone dials. And we just browse by and say, okay, this is... Look at this, the latest collection. It's written Saddam's name on it in Arabic. Well, crazy. What else is in the drawer? We're running out of tape. Some Ulysse Nardin Arabic numbers. Again, Sheikh Mohammed's signature watch. So some pocket watches. I keep collecting all this crazy stuff. Before the camera dies. We're done. And we're not. This has truly been amazing. But in all seriousness, we have to end this because we're not going to have microphones. So we didn't expect this at all. We've got to open one more drawer. I dare you. Oh, gosh. Some jewelry. I'm not going to take you to the main safe now. He probably has one. Do you? Yeah. I knew it. We ended the video because it's our closing time also. Yes, nine o'clock. So these are like... All brand new. So all the sport models. This is why Rolex do not have any watches. You have them all. I have to tell you. I have this one. We are at the lowest inventory level ever. I feel bad for you. Extraordinary. I'm hurting. I'm in pain from laughing. Truly, you have the most incredible collection of watches I have ever seen or imagined. Mark, crazy. Guys, this is the man. This is the man. I can't ever say I'm a watch collector ever again. I am not. I am a beginner. Thank you so much. Hit that subscribe button. Hit the like button. Hit the bell. We're in it to win it. I have to go pee. Bye.
