Rolex Datejust – Reference No. 116234
A timeless classic fit for all occasions, while common to some and iconic to others. And the one we have here reference number 116234, is probably one of the more unique and beautiful Date-justs recently made, sized at 36mm with a clean white dial in Roman numerals and iconic white gold fluted bezel and classic jubilee bracelet with a fully integrated strap buckle.
The date just was first introduced in 1945 as the Jubilee Date just, Reference 4467, and originally released with this five-piece metal link bracelet, which the has become a staple of Rolex, and was at first only available in 18-karat gold and in 36mm.

Rolex GMT Master II - Reference No. 16710
Просмотров 8 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Today, we discuss another distinguished classic in the Rolex GMT library, a category in the brand which began its story in 1954, with the introduction of the reference number 6542. The Rolex shown here is 16710 commonly known as the Coke GMT, produced from 1989 to 2005 which makes the model more neo- vintage than new. Where the Coke bezel lacks in popularity compared to other more famous GmTs, ...

A true every day watch that should be appreciated by all types of watch collectors and enthusiasts, as one of the most iconic dive watches that packs all the bells and whistle for an actual dive-able watch that is very assessable at a reasonable price point. More specifically, the one we have here is the Japan made version, where the SKX model itself was first introduced in 1996 and has been di...
Rolex Sky-Dweller - Reference no. 326934
Просмотров 3 тыс.Год назад
One of the most complicated movements in Rolex history with a number of patents registered from this watch alone. Perhaps one of Rolex’s more storied dilemmas, and we will get to that in the video. In fact, in terms of functions, this watch shows a 24 hour time to allow for different time zones and also shows the month in the most clever ways with the 12 hour markers representing the months of ...

A historical timepiece marking an era that Rolex provided a rare generation of short lived vintage pieces. The Tudor Chronograph Reference number 79160, also known the Tudor Big Block, and I will explain why later on in this video.

A rather more eye catching watch amongst Rolexes recent line-ups, featuring colourful dials produced from 2020 to 2021, but marking a short lived episode in the Oyster Perpetual’s history. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Reference no. 124300. While this watch serves a few features that we will go through, I would first consider and recommend this watch for those younger at heart and bolder enthusias...

Rolex Daytona Reference no. 116509

The white gold Rolex Daytona reference no. 116509, probably the ultimate subtle timepiece targeted towards personal satisfaction, and a very specific watch for enthusiast that only needs to answer themselves or those with a keen eye. The watch will appear like a steel Daytona to most, especially with a blue dial that is not a bright or loud for someone to recognise at first glance, but packs su...
IWC Portugieser Chronograph - Reference no IW371446

A subtle but essential piece to anyone looking to build a diversified watch collection. The IWC Portugieser - Reference number IW371446 (mis-quoted in the video as IWC371466). From the name itself, you might think it has something to do with Portugal, but actually the watch’s roots came from pocket watches, as the original design of the Portuguese was first introduced in the 1930s at the specif...

The Rolex Daytona Reference no 16523, a two tone sport Rolex that offers a niche satisfaction and maybe the best choice right now in term of balancing daily use, luxury and to some extent comfort and a peace of mind. Today we will be discussing one of my favourite two tone combinations in this Daytona from the year 2000, featuring a steel and yellow gold two-tone with a stunning and matching si...

I have this exact watch and never saw this video until now - great job, I just watched it 2x in a row! lol!
the fish. oh no
It’s a work of art ❤
I have this with the blue sunburst dial and oyster bracelet. It’s beautiful
Buonasera quanti euro costa il 79160? Grazie anticipatamente.
The cost varies in model and condition as well as whether the watch has box and papers. You can message me on IG with more details, so I can try to help :)
good job my watcher
Im surprised this daytona isnt as popular as the whiye dial steel models. Shows people just go by hype.
I bought one in the 2000 and kept it in the box it was sold in. Wonder what it’s worth now.
Poor fish…
168.017, surely?
I love the your piece on the Jubilee bracelet! Do you have a reference number for the bracelet and the endlinks you can share? I'd like to see if i can get myself one. Cheers!
great video- I super this Coke model, perfect color combo very classy, elegant
REF. 79160 !!!! not 71960
My favourite swatch watch GK229 got it back 1996 and everybody asked me where I got it from ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m Collecting swatch watches and have collection of 16 all limited edition ❤❤❤❤❤. Love them All
Perfect watch, it’s my go to.
Actually the businessmen who requested this watch were Portuguese, hence the name
I kept my eyes on this piece for years and elected to pull the trigger as soon as I learned it was discontinued. It’s spectacular. The blue dial is stunning. The case is NOT the same case as the yellow gold version or the stainless models. The lugs are symmetrical and curve downward. It’s actually quite similar to the new 2023-2024 redesigned case. It’s a perfectly proportioned and beautiful watch in every way!
All of the more recent precious metal Daytonas, including the ones on the Oysterflex share the same case design with the symmetrical lugs. The most recent steal Daytonas also have very similar case design, if not identical. The newest Daytonas do have a different case back design.
One can tell that you put a lot of effort into this video. Extremely nicely done. Superb videography. Deserves more views!
Thank you for your support 🙏😁
I have a 1990, best daily watch on the planet! I see yours also has the seconds hand with the lume pip slightly further towards the end of the hand than the typical seconds hand. I see this occasionally in the early 90s but not really after 1995 or so. I with this made our watches slightly more valuable 🤣 Maybe we need to nickname these "error seconds hand" versions haha
Thanks for sharing this👍 It amazing how error is good think on Rolex🤣😎
Nice! Wish I still had my 1995 example. Thankfully, I now have a 16570 Explorer 2 Polar, which is a great watch.
That’s a great watch and the polar white goes well with anything👍
I wish you still had THE REAL THING
Beautiful watch. I have Pepsi and Sprite
Thanks, yes the Pepsi and Sprite are both spectacular. Perhaps this means you need the Coke too., in order to make the softdrink trio of GMTs 😝👍
@@timothywong824 Sounds like a great idea 😄 Pepsi is my son’s and Sprite is my daughter’s. Maybe I should get a Rootbeer 🤣
Dope collection 👌🏾
I think this is a gorgeous watch. I have an opportunity to buy one but I’m worried about it holding its value. I have a stainless and black that keep increasing in value. What do you think about value of two tone?
Rolexes will always hold a certain level of value. Although two tone generally less value retentive than steel ones, I would not pass on one that you like, especially if it is a more rare dial in good condition. Hope that helps!👍
very rarely see the slate dial - beautiful
How do you shorten the length of the band. It seems hard and complicated.
It’s quite difficult and another reasons why I think this strap has design flaws. You will need to actually tug quite hard and risk stretching the hole, so I do not suggest changing the length often. Hope that helps!
Thanks
Nice Thom Browne
What is the price
Been on the hunt for one of these
Love the 5513, a compact design with the advantage of a gloss dial. Thanks for posting.
I have the watch and it’s way better in person. I like it more and more the longer I’ve owned it. I also own the platinum and those are my 2 favorite Daytonas, even though the yellow gold green dial gets all of the hype.
Absolutely 😎👍
Nice video. Got mine on the oyster flex. Yellow gold, black diamond bezel! ruclips.net/video/_MawkDJQrb0/видео.html
Ma786sai Dua is this black tapisierrie dial in Matt or have a slight gloss to it?
It’s slightly gloss but not apparent as the dial pattern is very intricate. However, the three chronograph subdials are more shinny😁
Ma786sai Dua Magnificent
Absolutely right! I’ve owned mine since 2017 and it has become my daily worn watch. I own 3 Tudors, the FXD and also the 41mm BB with the red bezel but this bronze demands most of the wrist time. Well done vid!
Make a video on getting an original Rolex
How many grams do this watch weigh
The watch is not with me, but it if I ever get a chance I’ll weight for you😅🙏
Really enjoyed this video Tim
A Man and His Watch ... a nice introduction to wrist watches, but this book has a lot of mistakes, here're three examples: Page 82: Edmund Hillary wore a Rolex on the top of Everest. In fact, since 1933 Rolex sponsored the Himalayan expeditions and they used the right words, Rolex worn TO the top of Mt Everest. New Zealander Edmund Hillary carried a 33mm SMITHS wrist watch ON top of Everest. This British-made SMITHS can be seen in the British Science museum in London. Page 103: Omega Alaska Project Speedmasterwas never used in space In fact, in 1977 the Omega Alaska II Project Speedmaster was worn during Russian Soyuz 25 & Soyuz 26 missions to Salyut-6 space station. It was even used during a spacewalk in July 1978 ! Page 104: Schirra's Speedmaster was the first watch in space (1962) In fact, in April 1961 Yuri Gagarin wore the first watch in space, a Russian-made 17 jewels Shturmanskie #MoonwatchUniverse
I have been desiring this watch since its release date back in 2013. Last February I finally got one of these and words cannot describe how beautiful, Technical yet elegant it looks with a leather strap. This is a speedy on steroids.
Beatiful watches!!
Absolutely stunning piece
What does this watch go for if one were to buy ?
I haven’t seen many around on the secondary market but I do not think it has appreciated substantially. so the difficulty perhaps is finding one😅
I have this watch with black dial and white sub dials! This gets a lot of attention whenever I wear it; not many people know what it is and fewer have ever seen it.
Ready for this? My Local AD Was Smash and Grabbed the Rolex Case Last October "All Expedition watches" . But the thieves Missed One Piece. They Literally left the Best for ME! 326934 Blue Sky Dweller AT RETAIL! The Only Draw Back? No Papers which means the 5 Year Warranty is through the Store and No Extra Links. How detrimental to the Value would you say it is not to have Papers and the extra links? Thanks for the Great Vids!
Wow….it always good to get retail. I’m not a market specialist but I’m thinking you will loose around a quarter of the market value, but if it’s for your self wear and it fits already, the paper is not really critical, as long as you know it’s brand new and a trusted AD👍
cool
Wearing daddy’s watches again?
It fits all ages depending on your style😎
How you get a hand on one
Pls do one for the time adjusting 101
Will do in the very near future😄
