Welcome to Watch Grok. Come join me on my journey as I dive into the wild world of watch collecting. Hopefully this will be a place where we can all learn and grow together. This is meant to be a place for learning, entertainment, and growth as we delve into an appreciation and love of horology. The world of watch collecting can seem intimidating, and off putting, but my goal is to share my journey and insights to show that anyone can become a collector! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey!

thank you for the Beautiful watches and the beautiful video ❤
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for sharing! Watches and their stories.. 💪🏽💪🏽 Don’t beat yourself up with the pip. Sometimes their souls need to rest. Happy Holidays ✌️
Thank you, and happy holidays!
Amazing 🎉🎉
Thank you!
Congratulations on your latest acquisition and welcome to the club. I got mine on Valentine’s Day 2024 from my AD after just a wait of 4 months. I absolutely love it, it’s clean easily readable design, the yellow crown contrasting with the green letters of the brand and how it flies under the radar from the average person on the street who can’t tell it’s a Rolex watch, my go to one now. I enjoyed your video although I disagree in the terminology you used to describe it; for I see ithis watch as a unique time piece just like the Milgauss, which I too was interested on it due to its originality. The green crystal, orange lighting rod made for another great piece that’s not run of the mill, and since I’m a huge Avgeek this new version 126900 was the one made for me, a happy aviator!
Thank you and congrats to you too! Yes, flying under the radar is one of the things I love about the piece. The Milgauss is another great one! I love my z-blue Milgauss.
This could be my first Rolex 😍
Haha yes, it’s a great one!
I’m on the list for the Air King with 4 local ADs. In the meantime I bought a Pagani Air King homage and am absolutely in love with it. If I get the call from one of the ADs I’ll gladly pick up the Rolex, but if they never call I’ll be happy with my homage. I won’t chase ADs and I won’t overpay in the grey market.
I love the deus
It’s great!
@watchgrok 💖
that GS katana
It’s an amazing piece!
The vintage look of Tudors are very handsome, but at the same time becoming tiresome. I decided to purchase the Pelagos 39 because it has a more modern simplistic appearance.
Hmm, the P39 definitely does look more modern and it is clean and simple
Im sorry but ur stories seem so farfetched is crazy. A daytona on request, a Tiffany blue 2 weeks a starbucks walking in is just literally impossible at least where i live miami. Unless ur paying money yo ur ad behind closed doors it doesnt even matter if you have 100k in history ur not getting a Tiffany or daytona unless you pay money on the side.
I can see why you would think that. For the panda I did have a good amount of spend with the AD. For the OP, it was a different AD which I had been talking to for almost a year and they pulled through for my wife's birthday. Starbucks was a different AD; I had purchased a piece previously from the AD and it was a right time right place sort of deal :)
How much money do you make?
I’ve done okay for myself, I just enjoy watches 🙂
I wish my 5520v came in that box 😔
Yeah… it’s a new box
@@watchgrokthey cut costs on the new box and the leather vs. crocodile strap
the ice blue looks so bad and cheap, i really prefer the green dial more, dark green.
Fair enough!
Not sure why but I expected your collection to be of cheaper watches.. Perhaps the relaxed / informal introduction. I particularly like your jlc and katana Dress watches more my thing. Enjoyed the vid Cheers.
Haha thank you so much! My goal is to step away from the normal aloofness that watch collecting has around it and make it more approachable!
Skydweller + President (5 digits) and your collection is complete 🎉
Good suggestions!
I picked my air king up 2 weeks ago for my birthday and I absolutely love it. I love the fact that no one notices that it is a Rolex
Congrats and wear it in good health! I agree!
It'd have been better if you let us hear what winding sounds like instead of talking.
I’ll see what I can do about some ASMR
Had no idea this one was endorsed by G.C and I don' really care.! I saw it on my local AD's site and thought it was beautiful! I've had the Speedmaster moon watch (1976 production year) for 41 years and it still runs. I want to add another one and this one fits well!
Haha, that’s fair. Yes, it’s a beautiful piece
You must be absolutely LOADED
Haha, watches are just a passion of mine. 🙂
They could take some lessons from Omega, the packaging is mediocre at best. However, it's a nice timepiece.
Haha yeah, they have improved, but still isn’t the best.
I picked the Hawaiian version - did you see the Pepperoni and Hawaiian on sale now in an auction is going off the scale? these watches are special !
Congrats! Haha, I did. Yes, these are special pieces!! Wear it in good health!
Entertainer endorsement is a waste of money.
Haha, fair point
well thats a bunch of R watches alright.
Haha, yes…
Add a green strap and make it a perfect Google edition :).
lol!
Sorry but I'm not a fan of ANY watch that doesn't have a date on it. I don't understand why people buy these kind of watches.
It’s a fair point. For me there are times I prefer it so I don’t have to worry about setting the date after the watch has been sitting for a while.
Just bought mine yesterday. Love it loads.... I think the airking is celebrating 80 years in 2025. One wonders if there will be an update?
Congrats and wear it in good health! It’s quite possible. I’m excited to see what they come out with next year!
Very impressive collection!!
Thank you very much!
You must live where people generally can’t afford a Rolex
Not really, I live in an area where the competition is pretty fierce, but there are 7+ ADs relatively close to
Hm
🤔
Hello buddy. Really nice collection , for me that I live in Brasil is so hard to get one of this watches , I have tissot Prx that is my main watch . In the other Hand great video and taste ! :)
Thank you very much! That's a great piece and glad you are enjoying it!
Eclectic Rolex collection. Like yours my own also includes the Daytona Panda and the 40mm YM blue and the Batman…though on the jubilee because I find it more comfortable. My Datejust is the blue dial iteration with the fluted bezel which brought me into the Rolex world a decade ago. In place of the Sub I procured a Pelagos 39 because I prefer the lighter weight and found it quite easier to wear. Never particularly cared for the design or ascetics of the Milgauss nor the Airking. Marvelous collection yours.
Thank you! Oh interesting, I have a Pelagos 39, and I find that the size is great but I don't find myself wearing it too much.
Another Rolex might fit.
Haha, yes... keeping my eye out :)
Congratulations to you on the State of your Watch Collection, it really impressive that you managed to acquire all the pieces in 2 years time, it's a Significant achievement. I have been waiting for a Date Just 41 in Fluted/Jubilee Configuration for over 2 years now, sadly my follow ups with the AD's are not yielding any results.
Thank you very much! That's interesting that you have waited so long for that particular piece. For date justs, I have heard being open to a couple different configurations can help with the process, but also you should buy the piece you really want. I would recommend dropping in to ADs when/if you travel as well as trying to talk to other ADs as well. For cadence, if you can I would drop in every month or so, so that you are top of mind for your SA as well for when that configuration comes in. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get your piece soon!
Just discovered your channel and I have been binge watching all your videos, needless to say I’m really enjoying your content. One thing that has intrigued me are the watch books on the background of your videos, maybe you could make a video showcasing the books, I think that could be interesting.
Hi there, and thank you so much for your support! That's a great idea! Maybe one of these days I'll go over the books I have. I'm slowly collecting more from brands when I can as well. Please feel free to make any other suggestions for content that you would like to see on the channel!
Can you post a link for your time grapher?
Hi there, this is the one I use! amzn.to/3Aih4MQ
Can you please share a ballpark what kind of spend you did to be allocated the panda daytona?
Hi There, I picked up several pieces across multiple brands before I got the panda daytona.
Beautiful collection. I love variety of dials
Thank you! I am definitely keen on collecting watches that have some contrast and are on the fun side in terms of dials and contrast.
@@watchgrok I also think that polished center links is the best thing Rolex offers when it comes to the bracelet. Imagine wearing a watch for 20-30 years. Those center links will be covered with scratches like no other. It’s going to make the bracelet more unique. I think there is a reason why white gold Pepsi with meteorite dial comes exclusively with oyster bracelet. If you think about it, once center links matches with the dial you’re are going to have a work of art on your wrist.
@@cookingwithwatches That is an interesting perspective and one I did not think about... That is actually one of the pieces I am looking to get and that is a fair point. I appreciate you sharing your view point and providing another perspective on scratches on polished center links!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection with us!!
Thank you so much!
Very nice collection. I have a no date sub and Air King. I’d love to add an OP41 green to the collection. Been waiting for so long, I don’t think it’s going to happen.
Thank you! Those are great pieces! I think it will happen, just gotta be patient. Out of curiosity, how long have you been waiting? The green dial OP41 should definitely be possible if you have bought those other pieces from the same AD.
Nice video on Rolex. My favorite piece is the Yacht Master. I plan on purchasing the rhodium dial for myself. Rolex is KING 🔥
Thank you! That is definitely a standout. The rhodium dial is 🔥
Interesting collection. I have four Rolexes but none are in your current collection.
Thanks! Which Rolexes do you have in your collection?
Awesome collection, just to compare, what’s your wrist size? Im not sure if should i go for the OP Green 41 or 36? I know that what runs little bigger, right?
Thanks! I have about a 7.5” wrist. The 41 wears pretty well for me.
@@watchgrok ok mine is 6.75” i think 36 might fit little better, anyhow thanks!
Of course! You are probably right.
Why stop at 7?
Haha, I did mention I have a couple more I may collect, but I have my eye on other pieces too outside of Rolex 🙂
Would you consider an Explorer 2 for your collection?
Hmm, I had considered the polar explorer 2 but it lost its appeal. I can appreciate it, but probably not for my collection. I do really like the lume on it though.
I received the exact same watch today from my AD after a 3 year wait and no previous spend history.
Congratulations! Wear it in good health!
Crazy. Waiting since almost 5 years without historie. Last week i was there they told me it shouldn't take long now. 🎉
@ you need to hound them and drive them mad 😂
@@Madeinlondon67 for real? I see you also have this RUclips big that the @ doesn't work.
@ ?
Very nice 👌 love the blue dial with the bezel combination it looks great
I agree!
Just found and subbed to your channel on the Windup Watch Fair video. Great content 👌
Thank you very much!
Is the box of the latest model with the rocket 🚀 the same or this one has a better anniversary box 📦?
Not sure what box the new version comes with.
It comes with standard omega wooden box the light brownish one. For the price of the new one omega should make a special box for it like the apollo 11 50th anni.
3:03 is it a scratch?
It actually rubbed out!
