·A fun series launched today on YouTube. Simon Freese is trying to buy a Rolex by buying, fixing and flipping watches...starting at 100 pounds.

·Looking forward to seeing Simon strip and fix the watches. Will be interesting to see how long it takes him to work his way towards the final target. Maybe a bit longer than expected due to the ridiculous fees eBay is imposing on watch sales.

·Great Idea, Wheeler Dealers with Mike Brewer also does the same with his Dream car series.
It's got to be worth a try, not that I can refurbish watches with my sausage fingers but, a bit like flipping cars or houses.

·I just came across this series from another thread. I’ve only ever heard wonderful things about Simon so it’s really nice to watch him tear down and restore pieces like this. I really appreciate how candid he is about the prices and costs in each video. It looks like he’s up to a net worth for the project so far of about 386 with the most recent sale. I will enjoy seeing where this goes.

·Yeah, I was trying to not come across too opinionated… I don't expect there will ever be a Rolex featured in the series but I'm looking forward to watching all of the watches that he refreshes 'for cheap'. Again, he's very clear about the fuzzy accounting he's using 😀
