Public channels, private books
CRM Jewelers, Bob's Watches, Luxury Bazaar, The Honest Watch Dealer. They are not hiding the tape. They are using it as advertising. The prices are already in the open.
Social squawk. Asset prices.
Wristwatch Social
An out-of-the-box asset pricing case study
Jewelry stores already publish a live book. They just do it on YouTube. This prototype turns that public squawk into a dated buy and ask book. The figures are spoken prices, not invented numbers.

Every dollar on this page was spoken on a public jewelry-store channel. We did not make the figures up. Extraction can mis-hear a line, but it does not invent a print. Social feeds last aggregated September 1, 2026.
The board at a glance
Seven models, one afternoon of speech
Before any single piece: this is the shape of the whole tape. Wide bands are the models the rooms argue about. A blue dot to the right of the orange one is a desk paying above its own asking talk.
Where each model trades
The bar is the middle half of every price spoken about that model. The dots are the median buy and the median ask on this snapshot.
- Middle half of quotes
- Median buy
- Median ask
Medians, not averages: one $155,000 sentence should not move a model. Open the tape to see the quotes behind any row.
Why we built this
The street already talks. We price from the tape.
Grey-market jewelers and watch desks run public YouTube channels to promote their own stores. On camera they say what they will pay, what they will sell, and what they will not touch. That speech is a pricing feed for physical assets. Most people treat it as entertainment. We treat it as a market. Every print on this page came out of those rooms. Nothing here is a mock.
Machines do the listening
Speech recognition has already turned those rooms into text. We read the caption tracks and run extractors over the speech, so every spoken dollar comes out tagged: brand, model, buy, ask, pass, dealer, clip.
A book a desk can scan
The output is not a transcript dump. It is a book: one board per house, that house’s own models down the side, median buy in blue and median ask in orange. Outside-the-box thinking with a usable board.
House by house
The spoken book
One board per house, and each house gets its own models. Blue is the median buy, orange the median ask across every line spoken about that model. Click a house to open its whole tape, or a Rolex model to open that piece.

Product cut-outs are for identification. Where the staged set had no photo of a named colorway, the bezel of the reference piece was recoloured to the right one rather than showing a different watch.
Inside the feed
What the tape is made of
Not every spoken dollar is an offer. The extractor separates what a desk will pay from what it wants, and keeps the source attached to every line.
Kinds of spoken price
Blue is money a desk will pay, orange is money it wants, crimson is a hard pass.

Under the hood
How the tape becomes a price
Same move we use on talent work: ingest messy public signal, keep provenance, rank it so a person can actually use it.
Nothing on this page was typed in by hand. Seven jewelry-store YouTube channels are walked with yt-dlp, which also pulls the caption tracks YouTube's own speech recognition has already produced: that is the listening step, and it is what turns hours of dealer talk into text a machine can read. From there a money matcher catches every dollar figure, the words around it decide whether the desk is buying, asking, reporting a sale or refusing, and a watch vocabulary resolves which piece is being priced from references, model names and the nicknames the rooms actually use. Every row is hashed and stamped with the video's publish time, so a re-extract inserts what is new instead of rewriting what was already said.
01 Harvest
- yt-dlp
- channel + video metadata
7 jewelry-store channels, walked video by video. Publish time comes along, which is what every price is later dated by.
1,115 videos
02 Speech to text
- YouTube ASR captions
- VTT
The machine listening step. YouTube's own speech recognition has already transcribed these rooms; we pull those caption tracks rather than re-running audio.
1,115 transcripts
03 Money and intent
- pattern extraction
- intent lexicons
Every dollar figure in the text is caught, then the 180 characters around it decide what kind of price it is: a buy, an ask, a sold, or a hard pass.
6,070 spoken prices
04 Which watch
- reference vocabulary
- nickname map
126710BLRO, Speedmaster, Pepsi, Batman, Hulk. References, model names and the nicknames dealers actually use all resolve to the same piece.
30 named pieces
05 Date-stamp and dedupe
- fingerprint hash
- append-only
Each row is hashed and stamped with the video's publish time. Re-extracting inserts what is new and leaves history alone, so the book never quietly rewrites itself.
2 passes kept
Speech recognition also mishears money: a dealer saying “fifteen five” comes back in the captions as $155,000. Figures that sit far outside their own model’s range are held out of the headline buy and ask and marked in the tape, rather than being deleted from it.
What is not running yet: a language-model pass over the windows the pattern layer flags as ambiguous, to read intent where a lexicon cannot. Every figure on this page came out of the deterministic pass above, which is why the board admits its own noise rather than smoothing it.
Dealers passing

The book has their numbers. This is the sentence each number came out of: one real line per house, with the desk that said it and the clip it is in.

Another 2,777 spoken prices never got a house attached: the desk said a number without naming a brand the extractor recognises. They stay in the tape rather than being quietly dropped.
