For watch obsessives, a Los Angeles Lakers playoff game in May 2023 marked more than Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner’s first public outing — it was when photographer Renell Medrano was spotted courtside wearing a vintage Audemars Piguet Bamboo. The rare piece came from @veryspecial, a Miami-based vintage watch collective redefining how a new generation collects.
Founded in 2023 by Adrian Douzmanian (@dza3000), Sage Elsesser (@sageelsesser), Mike Tran (@mikextran), and Juan Lavalle (@juandiegolavalle), Very Special blends insider knowledge, community, and a healthy disregard for industry gatekeeping. Their by-appointment-only showroom has quietly become a destination for collectors like Hailey Bieber, Zack Bia, and Angelo Baque, all drawn to their mix of trustworthiness, taste, and authenticity.
What started as a group chat between friends turned into a full-fledged operation reshaping the pre-owned market. They speak to a new kind of collector — one who values story and style as much as status. For Very Special, it’s not about chasing hype pieces; it’s about putting special watches on special people.

VS FIELD NOTES:
CHOW YUN FAT / JOHN WOO
THE KILLER / A BETTER TOMORROW
In the latter half of the 1980s, Chow Yun-Fat, who had broken into the mainstream as student-turned-gangster Hui Man-keung in the TV series The Bund, teamed up with director John Woo to forge what would become perhaps action cinema’s greatest creative partnership since Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune. 1986’s A Better Tomorrow, with Chow Yun-Fat in a supporting role, was ground zero of the Hong Kong gangster renaissance: it defined the nascent genre with its heavily stylized action; its dense urban setting which oscillated rapidly between lush and varicolored and hazy and dilapidated; its operatic cadence; and its themes of brotherhood and betrayal.
In 1989’s The Killer, where Chow Yun-Fat now played the title role, John Woo’s vision of the Hong Kong gangster film crystallized. Influenced by Jean-Pierre Meville’s Le Samouraï (where Alain Delon sports a Baume & Mercier on the inside of his wrist– perhaps for another field note), The Killer strips down the plot slightly, focusing primarily on the relationship between two characters: one a killer (Chow Yun-Fat), and another the cop pursuing him (Danny Lee). Only six years later we’d encounter a similar dynamic in Michael Mann’s Heat. Indeed, these films, more than just defining the Hong Kong cinematic golden age, would serve as blueprints for the modern day stylized action film.
Rolex Submariners and Tag Heuer 2000s are the most common watches you’ll spot in a John Woo film if you’re watching closely. Chow Yun Fat himself wore a classic Rolex Explorer ref. 1016 throughout the 90s and 2000s; in A Better Tomorrow and The Killer, as well as in his subsequent collaborations with John Woo and Ringo Lam, his timepieces were mostly undersized, understated and anonymous, appropriate to his characters’ less flashy aesthetics. — Instead of focusing on one or another I focused on the partnership between John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat in the 80s.
