John Buckley on Rolex dials, watch deals and cracking TikTok

Today's guest, John Buckley, casts a long shadow over the world of vintage Rolex. He's a veteran of the New York watch scene who has seen trends come and hype go, which makes the fact that he's TikTok famous somewhat surprising. Buckley's TikTok's follow him on his visits to the dealers of 47th street and gives you a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing of watches far removed from the white glove service of the boutique environment. Gem-set Daytonas sit in plastic pouches, waiting to be plucked out by John, who will inevitably ask, "how much is this $60,000 watch." We find out what John thinks about the watch market's state, why he's on TikTok and why a reality watch TV show might be coming to a streaming service near you.
