I have this watch . Overpaid for it last year . Definitely feels special on my wrist . I own a panda daytona as well . Panda feels fake because of the weight difference. Get a lot of looks from those who know and not much attention from those who don't . I like that aspect of it. Weight of the bracelet is very heavy all around which doesn't give you that dig into your wrist feeling from a top heavy deepsea . Very well balanced because of that . Worst part , 3k a year to insure it which is a must at this price point.
Congratulations mate such a great watch to own.
I bet the SS Daytona does feel very light in comparison, both incredible models to have in the collection!
100% you need insurance in pieces like this for sure! 👍
You are easily my favorite watch authority on RUclips. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated 👏
proof or it didn't happen
@@robb6391 thank you mate I really appreciate that! 🙏
Thank you very much for a great video with an excellent explanation. Personally, I think it is a beautiful watch, but the one with diamonds is the cream of the crop. I'm curious about the platinum day date with the same dail color
I know the investment/pricing reports are popular, and channels need to give the people what they want, but I'm glad there's still time for videos like this that set aside the financial aspects for a few minutes to focus on the real qualities of these watches.
Thanks Bob I really appreciate that, so glad you enjoyed this new format 🙏
Great breakdown! Happy to hear your thoughts. One thing that did surprise me a bit was you not feeling comfortable to wear it out drinking, but wearing the Pikachu instead. If anything I'd imagine a yellow gold watch would attract much more attention than a platinum watch that to the uninitiated looks like a "regular" steel watch. Your decision of course. I'd think twice about even wearing a Tudor out on a night like that personally, so for you to wear the Pikachu shows you've got more confidence than I! Great vid.
Thank you mate so pleased to hear you enjoyed this one and thank you for watching!
Yes very true, though the Platinum is quite a considerable step up!
Just found your channel this morning… great stuff!
Welcome to the channel! So glad you enjoy the content, thanks for watching! 🙏
Top notch video as usual Charlie!
Thanks mate glad you liked this one! 👌🏻
Loved these 7 days vids mate. Both The Pepsi and this look amazing on you - I think the tats accentuate the colours on the watches. Great vid - different class!
Thanks mate I really appreciate that! So glad you enjoy this new series.
Hope you’re well! 👍
Agreed. A very honest review. Keep em coming! Would love to see a vintage 1675 review.
Great review. The brown bezel seems to frame the dial to make it look smaller. Totally agree, the full ice blue dial is the way to go. Never understood the combination of ice blue and brown.
It is one you wouldn’t think goes, but it does work!
The best watch channel keep up the great work
Thanks mate I really appreciate that! So glad you enjoy the channel 🙏
Great video as always! The presence is mainly in our heads. It’s fun, but definitely perception vs perspective hehe
Thank you I appreciate you watching, glad you liked this one!
Yep. No one cares what watch you wear.
Thank you very much for a great video with an excellent explanation. Personally, I think it is a beautiful watch, but the one with diamonds is the cream of the crop. I'm curious about the platinum day date with the same dail color
Thank you mate I really appreciate that - so glad you liked the video. Yes it is hard to beat the Baguette dial model isn't it.
The Day-Dates are also incredible, though not as popular as the Daytona range.
Another great honest review. Thanks 👌
Thanks Joe, glad you liked this one - appreciate you watching! 🙏
7:00 Totally agree!!! I wore it and found the dial superior versus the new version.
👌🏻 Stunning dial isn’t it!
Enjoyable video Charlie great watch great in the Sun light when we see the Sun!!!
Haha yes on the rare occasions it does come out! 😆
Great video Charlie! Thank-you!
Thank you Daniel, glad you enjoyed this video 🙏
Good to see you Charlie.😊 Missed you. Best wishes from Pakistan.
Thanks mate and appreciate you watching all the way in Pakistan!
Interestingly wearing. Right handed watch on my right wrist - being left handed- the knobs don’t push into my wrist like it does worn on the left wrist. I always take my watches off to adjust time or date anyway and I bet most left hand wearers do also.
The weight is wonderful on the wrist. Feels like money…
It sure does, you certainly know you are wearing something special when you feel its presence on the wrist 👍
It’s a stunning piece, and I agree if I was fortunate enough too be able to purchase this I would pick the diamond version.
Such an incredible dial isn’t it, you’ll get there one day 🤞
The ice blue dial is completely unmatched IMO. Even the Tiffany blue doesn't compare.
The thing about the Playtona I can't get passed is the chocolate bezel and subdials. I love the ice blue matched subdials on the baguette version.
Lovely looking watch Charlie and great honest review as usual, it would be nice to see some changes to the submariner range a few different colours would be good , see you soon mate and thank you for the video . 💥💥👍🏻
Thanks Paul glad you liked this one and appreciate you tuning in once again! That would be great wouldn’t it, fingers crossed for next year 🤞
how is wearing you stock good for its value
Charlie, when I go up to a 40mm size this is one of the watches I would consider, with baguettes of course. Life is so boring without diamonds. Thank you.
Excellent choice you have great taste! Hard to beat the Baguette dial isn’t it 👌🏻
I think out of all the watch dealers on RUclips yours is the best channel but can you do longer than 7 mins at least double that please
Really appreciate that mate thank you!
I’ll see what we can do 👌🏻
Charlie I wouldn't care how heavy that watch is. I love that watch ! 👍
Great Video !!
Thanks Doug! Really appreciate you watching - incredible timepiece isn’t it
Would you say the premium of newest Platona over that discontinued one is worth it ? Both def feel special enough to me
They are both very special models indeed, it is best to go with which you enjoy most and if you can justify the premium on the new one for the changes it brings 👍
I have tried one on- you are right about the weight! But it is a boss of a watch.
Oh yes definitely top of the range! But incredibly heavy 😆
The only missing mandatory feature (for me) is the use of ceramic coated pins in the bracelet. I do not understand why they have not added it for the new version with such a price point on a such soft metal.
Great review. This piece is my grail.
Thanks David glad you liked this one - great one to aim for 👌🏻
Charlie, what are both options (standard/ diamond) selling for in the market to dealers these days?
If you want to get in touch via the website we can discuss your options.
All depends on the reference, year and condition.
Www.theluxurywatchcompany.com
@@thehonestwatchdealer if you have to ask..........😛
The dial is beautiful.. is it heavier then the tudor bb chronograph?? Awesome video and platona🎉
Incredible isn’t it! Oh yes much heavier 👍
Thanks Charlie, this is a beautiful watch and one that for those who are fortunate enough to own will be enjoyed no doubt. As for the cost, well it’s all relative and no different to anything else of true luxury and indulgence so no point in negative remarks in that regard. Anyone who can afford to buy it can probably afford to lose it too so wouldn’t wouldn’t worry too much like those commenting about the cost. Gorgeous watch, thanks for sharing the experience.
You are exactly right there! Stunning watch isn’t it, and I really appreciate you tuning in to watch the review! 🙏
Great content Charlie the platona and gmt meteorite is my grail watch sadly both out of my reach.
Both incredible models! Hopefully you’ll manage to get either one some day! 🙏
Nice vid mate. Which one is more comfortable and sits better on the wrist, Pepsi or this one? Jubilee VS oyster?
Thanks for watching mate! Got to go with the Pepsi due to the sheer weight of the Daytona 👍
Beautiful piece, although on the margin my heart belongs to the WG blue dial version. You should do a review on that piece!
Ah that is an incredible timepiece! I’ll see what I can do the next time we get one in 🙌
Hi
Charlie, I hope you and your family and everyone at LWC are all keeping healthy and you are having a positive bank holiday weekend. It's a truly amazing master piece another great positive video enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend best wishes
Thank you Karl, all good here thanks, hope you are too!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🙏
Cool piece
Stunning isn’t it!
I’ve got a registration with my AD for the platinum DD but been thinking of changing it to the Platinum Daytona. What do you think?
Ah yes the Daytona is very hard to beat! All depends on your tastes and which you like the best 👍
I love it, and I’m still waiting to try the deep sea 136668LB. May be get one in and wear that for a week….lol
Haha that would definitely make a great video!
Only dealer channel that’s watchable. Seem to be honest in reviews and not hype machine or watch market dead negative bs channels.
Thank you mate I really appreciate that! So pleased you enjoy our content 🙏
Very lovely dial ❤ .
Incredible isn’t it 👌🏻
Which one do you like more Platona or John Mayer? Also which one do you think is more sought after?
Oh that’s an incredibly tough one! Likely of equally desirability!
Weird that i only pressed olay on this video as i was scrolling cos i thought "is this guy a Paul Thorpe wannabe" cos of the tats.
Glad i pressed play. Alot better than PT , hope this guys not got dubious affiliation now.....
Good vid👍🏾
Thanks Troy really appreciate that! So glad you enjoyed the video and welcome to the channel 🙏
One of my grails.. i love to see this on a brown oysterflex same color as the bezel would be killer
Oh now that would be insane looking wouldn't it! 🙌
Platinum is special. Unique look and feel. Makes gold look cheap, but only if you know the look.
Yes definitely for those that ‘know’ 👍
Can you pls review the new 126500ln black Daytona?
I'll see what I can do! 🙌
My friend has a pre-ceramic Daytona and every time I put it on it feels small for me. I feel better with my 41mm sub. Mybe the cermamic would give a bit bigger feeling of a watch.
Possibly! You Will have to try one on and see how it feels 👍
@@thehonestwatchdealer thanks 🤗
This watch looks fire 🔥🔥🔥on your wrist
Such a stunning model isn't it 👌
I've tried it on and the weight is truly unbelievable!!!
Definitely can’t imagine the weight until you try it on! 🙌
I daily all my Rolex's .... Datejust 41.... Blusey and 42mm yacht master YG 😊
That’s the best way Douglas, wearing and enjoying them - great collection you have! 🙌
Rolexes...
I have the new version. The display caseback is amazing. Extra good finishing on the movement. Ways way more than a platinum DD.
Congratulations mate such a great model to own! Enjoy it, and yes the clear caseback is incredible isn’t it 👌🏻
Lots of watches in all sorts of price ranges have the see-thru back glass piece/ but how many watches can say that the “entire” watch is solid platinum? Not many. It would be interesting to weigh the back piece of the previous model and multiply times the value of platinum to find what Rolex removed in terms of value. This glass piece also reduces the weight of the watch which is part of its unique charm.
If I was buying one I would buy the true solid platinum Daytona - without the cheap piece of glass. It would be interesting to know what Rolex changes for say a typical crystal on the front of a Daytona if it got cracked. Nothing like they would charge for a solid platinum back piece. The extra links are I believe somewhere in the area of $3,500 or more. That back price from Rolex is probably $10,000 - the glass back - hundreds of dollars. Just a way to reduce the cost of materials for Rolex.
Checked on the net and to replace a glass crystal in a Daytona is only around $250 with gaskets and labor etc. so the glass is worth maybe $100! The value of a solid platinum back piece is likely in the multiple thousands and interesting to know what Rolex would charge. I will take the solid platinum back all day long….
@@jeffreykilpatrick3592remember that they placed a gold rotor in the new model, plus finished the movement in a finer manner. Probably makes up the difference for many enthusiasts
@@jeffreykilpatrick3592 I am rich boi
This last version has a solid platinum back - while the newest version has a piece of glass replacing that solid platinum back piece. Fun to see the guys once but after that I prefer being able to say simply/ the entire watch is solid platinum. The price did not go down because of the watch has less platinum - in total. Good trick by Rolex. They did it to remove the platinum back piece otherwise why not put the observation back on a submariner or a Stainless gmt? Because the stainless back piece is cheaper than even the glass back. But a solid platinum back piece is worth many times more than a piece of glass…. They cheapened this grand piece.
And it is not mineral glass it is a sapphire crystal.
Great video beautiful watch 👍👍 I love to gay a panda 🐼 Daytona. Watching you from san Francisco
Great model to aim for! Glad you liked the video and appreciate you watching in San Fransisco 👌🏻
Is platinum as resistant to scratches as steel? Or more or less?
Steel would be much more scratch resistant 👍
@@thehonestwatchdealer thank you - I like your quick responses:-)
@@apoplexic23 Not a problem mate, you are very welcome!
I tried on a platinum day date and I couldn't believe the weight of it, so special unfortunately I'll never get to own one, just in the process of moving some money around and hoping to purchase a deep sea, this will be my sports watch next to my panerai luminor
So incredibly heavy aren’t they, you can’t imagine until you try it on!
The Deep Sea is a great choice, will go great with your Panerai 👌🏻
Beautiful watch. Wouldn't wear it in the UK these days, though. Asking for trouble. :-(
You did well not to wear it out on a boozy night out. Surprised you were comfortable wearing the Pikachu to the pub, actually.
Ah yes it certainly can be dangerous in certain areas, got to be careful!
Thank you for watching 🙌
Mate Charlie : can you make a video on Rolex Daytona 126503- 0003 ( oyster steel and Yellow Gold)?
I’ll see what I can do! 👍
Nothing will beat the Pikachu! 💯
Oh you are right there! Haha
I have the black and white dial…they both wear small…it’s really 38.5mm.
Both great models to have in the collection! They do wear small yes 👍
How much is the market on these now? Beautiful but i always found it slightly feminine
Sure if you want to get in touch via the websites we can discuss your options regarding year, condition etc 👍
www.theluxurywatchcompany.com
So, how much for that used daytona ?😊
You can find this one listed on our website:
www.theluxurywatchcompany.com
It’s interesting that this watch is actually only 38mm, not 40mm!
TPG style
Did you use the chronograph to time something ?? 😅
His daily knuckle shuffle?
I’m satisfied with my black on black stainless Daytona, just wish it had the exhibition case back. The brown bezel on blue is just not it for me 🤷🏼♂️
Exhibition case back on on the Stainless Steel models would be incredible wouldn't it - fingers crossed for one day!
Would you say a that watch is a good investment
Should hold its value in the long run 👌🏻
Whats the current market value of this?
If you want to get in touch via the website we can discuss your options on this model.

@@thehonestwatchdealer thanks, but the reason i was asking because i will have one soon. Wanted to sell it. So wondering +- what would be fair price for those. On chrono the price varies 100 to 300k US$.
So not sure
@@Qwerty-xc5rn Sure no problem, if you reach out to us on the link above we can let you know 👍
Your left arm got any bigger from all the weight?
Haha it feels like it 😆
‘You guys’
Was screaming at Charlie to make this video 😂😂
😆👌🏻
I’ve gotten more looks from my gold watches than any time I ever wore my platinum Daytona. Wears very small. If it didn’t have the words “ platinum Daytona “ in front I would brobably trade it.
Yes I suppose at first glance it would appear as Stainless Steel for the majority, but yes it does wear very small doesn't it.
135.000 ?!?! The Platinum Diamond piece is actually available from 85.000 £ at Chrono 24 . . .
I thought the exact same thing, doesn’t go for anywhere near £135k
@@mikestanley5919 I thought so. The expert has a different opinion. . . .
Do you sell anything other than Rolex?
Primarily we stock Rolex, however do get other brands in from time to time.
I know I can’t afford a Daytona. But it doesn’t speak to me that much.. I’d rather want a GMT Master than this.
Same happened with Speedy vs smp300, I do not like chronos I guess.
Yes everyone has their own tastes - you like what you like!
You would have to have some serious balls to wear this out at night in the States!!
Yes got to be careful where you wear timepieces like these 👍
It's a beautiful watch I just don't like the brown bezel
Yes it seems a lot of people agree with you!
Look at the surface of the caseback, the daytona wears so good, the day-date on the other hand is horrendous.
It does wear incredible 👌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer From my experience, the most comfortable watches are the Daytona and the GMT. You really appreciate the large contact surface area when you wear them in precious metal, such as gold (or even platinum). Helps distributing the weight on the wrist.
@@joggle4321 you are spot on there! 👌🏻
A very unique and rare piece! Honestly I've never seen it in person, but this watch doesn't cut it for me. It doesn't look as elegant as the pikachu daytona or even the panda dial.
It’s certainly not for everyone! Though it does look much more incredible in person 👌🏻
Another nice piece to put away in the safe forever ....
As i cant imagine anybody without a team of security guards wearing this on a night out in london .....😮
Or any other largely populated city of multi cultures..😮
It is an incredible one to have in the collection that’s for sure 👍
Thank you ☺️
Crypto is about to explode.... I really want a WG 40mm Day-Date .... black or White dial... oh and out of interest do you take Bit Coin for payments? Just curious 👀 😀
Stunning model to aim for! Yes we do accept BTC via the website 👍
@@thehonestwatchdealer Wow ! Great 👍
That's incredible.... and with the way BTC is going to go a win win 😃 Talk soon.
Doug
@@douglaswilliams774 haha yes indeed! Speak to you soon 👍
Going out for drinks …be careful you don’t get jacked.
Got to be careful wearing this one yes!
🤌⌚
👍🙏
I own this piece. Like it….but I don’t love it. Simply waaayyyyy too heavy to wear.
I owned a diamond dial platinum Daytona I paid £45k I found it uncomfortable and heavy I traded it soon after.i now wished I kept it ..Only for the increased value..
Congratulations mate! Definitely one to save for those special occasions 👌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer Thanks! My other issue is related to personal security. Makes me really nervous walking around with something of that value on my wrist. I have it insured. But would still prefer to not tempt fate.
yeah mate, me too, I own 10 of them actually
@@walkerb1734 yes very true it can be very daunting wearing them in certain areas unfortunately 👎
'One million percent' 🙄
I find it extremly ugly. Cheap looking dial color, ceramic color i wouldnt even mention on what reminds me. White gold, black dial and red hands was the best daytona.
Ah yes it’s certainly not to everyone’s taste! 🙌
All Daytonas are too small.
They can be for some people!
No they aren’t. We don’t need more huge watches.
The stop watch function is irrelevant in 2024. But if you did want to use it, then it's awkward and hard to see. But I guess we are in a time of form over function, so this watch is down to your theft potential. What a sad entitlement
£135,000 for a watch... I'll pass and await my Seiko Alpinist... also it's got a date and 200m water resistance.
Too bad he can‘t sell the watch to you, now he has to shut down his business
@@BVB-borusse I'm sure someone else will happily spend the £135,000 on the Platinum Daytona with diamond dial. Wont be me though!
😂😂😂
If ur buying this for £135,000 ur dealers wiping his hands with you 😂 can be picked up for £65k now £100k was Covid price
@@chrisking1908 The £135,000 was diamond dial version (his personal favourite)... That said, I think I'll pass on the £65,000 Daytona non-diamond platinum too and stick with my Seiko Alpinist. My preference as less heavy, less bling, with date complication and better water resistance.
My honest thoughts are…
Who cares about what you wear lol
Keep my money for other purpose :)
The Daytona truly is a timeless piece, isn't it? 🕰️
It sure is!
