    Ivy Insights

    The CW Clinic podcast, hosted by Christopher Warnes, is a highly informative and engaging show that covers a wide range of topics. As a guest on the podcast, I had the opportunity to share my personal journey with Bitcoin and how it allowed me to retire from my corporate job and pursue my passion for educating others. Chris is an exceptional host who asks insightful questions and knows how to get to the heart of the matter quickly.

    One of the best aspects of The CW Clinic podcast is Chris's ability to create meaningful and authentic conversations with his guests. He goes beyond simply asking questions and delves into deeper discussions about personal growth, entrepreneurship, and achieving life goals. His use of stories, first-hand experiences, and easy definitions make the content accessible to all listeners. Additionally, Chris's raw energy and evident passion for pushing himself and others towards success are inspiring.

    On the downside, some listeners may find Chris's direct and no-nonsense approach off-putting. His tough love style of coaching may not resonate with everyone, particularly those who prefer a more gentle or compassionate approach.

    In conclusion, The CW Clinic podcast is a powerful resource for anyone seeking motivation, inspiration, and practical advice for personal growth and entrepreneurship. Chris's authenticity and willingness to ask tough questions create a unique listening experience that can lead to genuine life changes. Despite its straightforward style, this podcast has the potential to be transformative for those willing to embrace it.

    Do luxury watches really “appreciate”? Let's get real. I'm Chris Warnes, owner of Warrior Time (full-time watch dealer since 2017), and today we're breaking down investment vs appreciation—and why “safe” matters more than “moonshot” for most buyers.Using real client stories (shoutout Brandon and his AP 15407ST), we look at how discontinued models can move, why a $120K grail behaves differently than a $5K piece, and what “exposure” you should be willing to stomach at different price points. We'll compare short-term flips at MSRP (GMTs, Daytonas, Nautilus, Royal Oak Jumbo) vs long-term holds like the Rolex Hulk 116610LV or AP 15305 Openworked—if you buy right.In This Episode:-Investment vs Appreciation (they're not the same)- Safe vs Not Safe price ranges ($5K–$15K vs six-figure pieces)- Short-term flip models (GMT, 1908, Panda, Jumbo, Nautilus)- Long-term plays: Hulk 116610LV, AP 15305ST/OR- What “exposure” really means when buying a watch

Crafted in Oystersteel, Yellow Rolesor, 18k Yellow Gold, and 18k White Gold. Dive Rating: 300 meters (1,000 feet). Movements: 3235 in the Sub Date, offering a 70-hour power reserve. 3230 in the No-Date version—the main difference being the date wheel. Glidelock Clasp: Perfect for wrist swelling, offering comfort and adjustability on the go. Market Overview: The Submariner 126610LN holds strong value. Previously, models like the Hulk climbed to $20k but have cooled off, now priced at $14-15k brand new—close to MSRP + tax. Avoiding long AD waiting lists to have this iconic piece on your wrist within 24-48 hours? Worth considering. Our Take: The Submariner 126610LN scores 8.8/10 for its versatility, durability, and classic aesthetic. Whether you're dressing it up or keeping it casual, this watch delivers.

    EP 346: Rolex: Bruce Wayne vs Green Arrow Comparison

    Want to learn more about watches? email us at support@chriswarnes.com We buy, sell, trade, consign, service, source and repair. Do you want to work with us on a timepiece? email us support@chriswarnes.com Today, let's dive into a comparison and review of two iconic GMTs: GMT Master II 126710 GRNR "Bruce Wayne" GMT Master II 116710LN "Green Arrow" (also known as the OG Bruce Wayne) The Bruce Wayne GMT is one of Rolex's newer releases, making waves in the secondary market with a hefty price tag, selling around $30,000. With an MSRP of $10,999 (depending on the bracelet), the hype has cooled off a bit, and it's now hovering around $20,000—still 2X MSRP, which is pretty wild. On the flip side, the Green Arrow has been discontinued since 2018, but you can still find some examples sold in 2019. These are typically available on the secondary market for less than MSRP, though exceptions exist like New Old Stock that was stashed away back in 2018 and just resurfaced. What do I like about these GMTs? Honestly, a GMT on Jubilee feels better to me than a Submariner or GMT on Oyster. I'm not sure what it is, but the Jubilee bracelet just gives it a more comfortable and refined wear. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but I really enjoy the fit. Plus, both these GMTs are available on either Oyster or Jubilee bracelets, which is a nice touch. The Bruce Wayne features a bi-colored bezel with a sleek gray and black design that isn't loud but feels sophisticated on closer inspection. What don't I like? The 2X MSRP on the Bruce Wayne is the only downside for me. I know, as a dealer, I should be all about that hype, but I have to keep it real. The hype-driven, artificially inflated market is a bit played out for me at this point. Notable differences: The Bruce Wayne has an upgraded 3285 movement that provides a slightly larger 70-hour power reserve, compared to the 3186 movement of the Green Arrow. And of course, the bracelet and price differ, as discussed. So, on a scale of 1-10, what would I rate these two GMTs? Bruce Wayne: 9.1/10 Green Arrow: 9/10 I prefer the price point of the Green Arrow, but the look and wear of the Jubilee Bruce Wayne earned it that extra .1 rating. Truth be told, both are fantastic GMTs and make for great daily wearers. Let me know what you think in the comments below—do you agree with the ratings?

    Want to learn more about watches? email us at support@chriswarnes.com We buy, sell, trade, consign, service, source and repair. Do you want to work with us on a timepiece? email us support@chriswarnes.com In this episode, we dive deep into the history, features, and market value of the Rolex Hulk (reference 116610LV), part of the iconic Submariner "116" series, renowned for its robust build and distinct green hue. Produced from 2010-2020, the Hulk has captivated collectors and enthusiasts alike, especially with some later models re-dated to 2021 by ADs—making these editions rare treasures. Origins and Successors: The Hulk's predecessor, the "Kermit" (ref. 16610V), first introduced a green bezel in 2003 for the Submariner's 50th anniversary. The Hulk itself paved the way for the "Starbucks" (ref. 126610LV), launched in 2020, with a new 41mm case and upgraded 3235 movement. Dial Variants (Marks): Collectors often debate the Hulk's subtle dial variations: Mark 1: 2010-2015 Mark 2: 2013-2016 Mark 3: 2016-2020 Mark 4: 2018-2020 (some dispute this, attributing differences to manufacturing variances) Let us know in the comments if you'd like a detailed episode exploring these variations! Key Features: Case Size: 40mm Movement: 3135, with a 42-hour power reserve Glidelock Clasp: Essential for comfort, especially if your wrist swells like mine! Market Value: A few years ago, Hulks fetched prices nearing $30k at peak, 3x over MSRP due to market inflation. Currently, you can find them from $15-25k depending on condition and production year, with pristine models (NOS) reaching higher. Expect to pay around $18k for a well-maintained Hulk. Final Thoughts: The Hulk ranks among my top two Submariners, and I give it a 9.7 out of 10. Will it hit $100k someday? Maybe—if you're lucky enough to own a 2020 or 2021 Hulk and can hold onto it for a few decades, its value may surprise you!

Do you want to work with us on a timepiece? email us support@chriswarnes.com In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Rolex hype models vs. non-hype models, discussing what drives the popularity (or lack thereof) behind some of the most talked-about watches in the luxury watch world. From iconic models like the Hulk and Daytona Panda to the often-overlooked Yachtmaster II and Air-King, we're unpacking what separates hype-worthy Rolex models from the underrated ones. Rolex Hype Factors: Supply and Demand – Limited production and availability fuel demand and price. Social Media Influence – Popularized by celebrities and influencers. Cult Following – Legacy models with devoted collector bases. Iconic Designs – 120 years of unmatched style and prestige. Quality Materials – Rolex's renowned craftsmanship. In-House Manufacturing – Watches made entirely by Rolex, though some, like the Zenith Daytonas, are highly valued due to outsourced parts. Least Hype Rolexes: Yachtmaster II – Discontinued but still not a fan favorite. Explorer (36mm and 40mm) – A solid starter Rolex but low in demand. Air-King 126900 – Affordable and simple but low on hype. Milgauss 116400 White Dial – Less popular than blue or black dials, but recently discontinued. Most Hype Rolexes: GMT Models – Batman, Pepsi, and Bumble Bee all hold high resale values. Submariner Hulk 116610LV – Discontinued and highly sought after. Sky-Dweller Mint Green and Blue on Jubilee – Waitlists and high premiums. Daytona Panda 126500LN – 2.5x MSRP, a collector favorite. Rolex's “hype era” has evolved since the COVID price surge, but certain models continue to outperform. Which Rolex hype models will hold their value long-term?

Do you want to work with us on a timepiece? email us support@chriswarnes.com In this video, I'll share my personal picks for the best timepieces available around the $2,000 mark. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just getting started, these watches offer great quality, style, and wrist presence without breaking the bank. Here's the breakdown: 1. Tudor Black Bay M79540 Available in several dials, though the black dial is a standout for me. Slight resemblance to the iconic Submariner, but with its own unique character. At 41mm, it's a great size that's noticeable but not overpowering. Priced right around $2,000 on the secondary market. 2. TAG Heuer Formula 1 Date (WAZ2011) A classic with a deep connection to motorsports history. Bold wrist presence with a 43mm case size, larger than the Tudor. Easily recognizable design and available new for a bit over $2,000; used models can be found for less. 3. Oris Aquis Date (01 733 7789) Featuring a striking green dial and matching rubber strap. At 43.5mm, it's an eye-catching piece; Oris nails this shade of green. An underrated model from a brand that deserves more attention. 4. Breitling Endurance Pro Available in a range of colors and options, with sizes in both 44mm and 38mm (targeted at women). Powered by "Super Quartz," so keep in mind it's not automatic. Lightweight and great for sports or gym wear; priced around $2,000 new on the secondary market, and even lower pre-owned. 5. Omega Seamaster (2850.5) A vintage, mid-80s automatic model with a 50mm case. Omega has a long history of quality with the Seamaster line, making this a solid option if you can find one in good condition. These watches offer style, history, and a solid build at a relatively affordable price for luxury.

    Want to learn more about watches? email us at support@chriswarnes.com We buy, sell, trade, consign, service, source and repair. Do you want to work with us on a timepiece? email us support@chriswarnes.com In today's review, I'm diving deep into one of the most iconic and coveted pieces in Rolex's Daytona collection – the Rolex Daytona Platinum Ice Blue 126506. Now, full disclosure: I'm not usually a big Daytona fan and rarely wear them. But this one? It's an exception, and here's why. This watch is substantial—being crafted in platinum, it's much heavier than standard stainless steel sports models like the 116500LN or 126500LN Daytona. In person, it's simply striking, an absolute show-stopper worthy of its six-figure market price. The open case back on the 126506 is a feature that Rolex rarely gifts us, allowing a stunning view of the movement. And let's talk about those sub-dials: there's a subtle difference in the brown color on this model compared to previous versions, giving it a unique, elegant edge. The 116 had options for two dial styles, with or without baguette brown sub-dials. But on the 126506, the dials are consistent, offering either style with or without baguettes. Personally, I have a slight preference for the 116, but this piece has truly grown on me. This Daytona feels stealthy, classy, and elegant with its 40mm size and understated appearance—especially compared to, say, the bolder “John Mayer” Daytona. It doesn't scream six figures, which I appreciate. Rolex's decision to include the glass case back, sacrificing a bit of water resistance, was a bold move. Let's be real: no one's diving in this beauty. So, what do we think of this masterpiece? I'm rating it a 9.3 out of 10—one of the highest scores I've given, even topping the “White Panda” at an 8. Want one? Be prepared to wait; getting one from an AD is no easy feat! Tune in and let me know in the comments: What would you rate the Daytona Platinum Ice Blue 126506?

We dive into the details, starting with the blue oxalic anodized aluminum dial, featuring laser-engraved waves. The dial's beauty shines in any light, making it a standout feature of this timepiece. With a 42mm steel case, powered by the Omega 8806 Co-Axial movement, it boasts a 55-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 300 meters (1,000 feet). The MSRP on the bracelet is $8,300, and interestingly, it's one of the few Omega models that doesn't drop in price on the secondary market. This watch is versatile enough for both casual and formal occasions—whether you're heading to dinner, attending a wedding, or just wearing it day-to-day.

While the hype has cooled slightly, these watches still fetch around $20,000 today, which is double their original price—a testament to their ongoing demand. In the review, I break down what I love about this watch: the smooth feel of the GMT on a Jubilee bracelet, the refined yet striking grey and black bi-colored bezel, and the functionality of the secondary 24-hour time zone.
