@@thehonestwatchdealerI've been thinking of pulling the trigger on a panda daytona at 25k. You think it's a good buy or is there still more room to drop. I've heard you guys are buying them at 20k now ?
Strange! Charlie would not buy the black Explorer II from me! "I'll buy anything if the price is right." He just was not interested. I like to read comments from folk who have tried to sell watches to dealers.
His employee relayed the message from Charlie, not interested. We did not reach the price discussion. These videos are designed to sotfen the audience in to a buying mindset.
I think the key is, if the price is right, and you’ve also got to look at the inventory that he has and what he can buy and sell for, unless you’re willing to take 20% on the dollar
Really interesting take on the types of Rolex buyers. I noticed that you didn't mention the Yacht-Master Blue & Rhodium (40 & 37mm) dial versions. I personally consider them amongst the most stunning and under-rated models in the Rolex catalogue.
Have a YM2 s.s. with a nice white dial. Love the countdown scale she has. Makes a great egg timer with flyback when I don't use the scale for regatta races.
You're lucky! I can't afford a Rolex yet. I finally paid off my home a few months ago and now have less than $70K in the bank. The Sky Dweller I want is close to $45K. I'll never be able to afford one.
Submariner here. Definitly a achievement watch. Reach some goals, it unlocks somehow. Love it and the stuff I did to get it. Also a good story telling opener.
@@KM_1983 so what's the achievement? It's a £7,700 watch. You've got teenagers working in McDonald's and driving around in cars more than twice that price. So what's so impressive about owning a Rolex submariner?
@@frankdux5693I got one and I get compliments all the time or notice people staring at it. Also here in Canada it’s going for 12-13 grand it’s not an impossible feat but most people are not going to spend money like that on just a watch so calm down
I love the way you explain the type of people that are interested in each watch. It’s a great way from someone on the outside of the watch world to make sense of what is going on within. Keep it up man I love your videos!
Hi Charlie! Big fan of your channel (along with my wife)! Recently picked up a Datejust 41 Smooth bezel + oyster bracelet combo, in the mint green dial. Your analysis (and classification of the buyer) is pretty accurate haha, me and the wife were having a good giggle. Currently, my 50/50 daily watch alongside my moonwatch. Keep up the good work and much love from Singapore!
Good pick , in my humble opinion you should go to the white gold bling bling bezel ,personal taste it’s diferent , but they look much atractive and if you want to sell it , they go quicker
he is like a magician and tricks all models form his magic drawer .. really really nice and thanks for the clear and bright explanation of all these beauties
One of your best videos Charlie. Liked how you described watch with individual 👍I’m a S&G buyer generally. Not too flashy but love the combination especially on Jubilee bracelet. In last month+ bought M126231-0023 and M126713grnr-0001. Big fan of Oyster-flex Daytonas also and Skydwellers
What about the 116520? It breaks my heart how the ceramic Daytona has completely taken over and now the steel bezel is looked down upon, despite the fact that for decades it was the absolute darling of the collection, with buyers willing to wait years and years for an opportunity to buy one. Any thoughts on this?
love your channel mate, came a long way. However I think when it comes to the skydweller. I think that you missed out something crucial, and that is that skydweller wearers also want this model because it has the most complicated movement that Rolex make... something I feel that also applies to what you mentioned before about the white gold sub ,that only people who know about the industry and the horology of watches will recognize and appreciate :) loved the video though :)
Wife bought her 1st Rolex from AD. 31mm two tone yellow gold on jubilee with diamond bezel. Watch looks discrete indoors under low light, but in the sun or bright lights it’s very noticeable. Great channel BTW!!!
Great video updates, quick one for you when you mentioned about people who store watches. Would you recommend using watch winders if a watch is kept for long term consideration?
Thank you mate, I really appreciate it! Yes so definitely use them, but don't keep the watch on them constantly as it will count as wear on the movement. 👍
Nice video Charlie. What would you recommend for a young professional? I like full yellow gold watches that I can wear both formally and casually. Thanks!
Gotta say, I waited until you got to the submariner lineup and I loved your review and you were spot on, you were absolutely spot on with respect to the black stallion no date and so glad it is one of your personal favourites because it is the one in my collection and it is such a phenomenal piece, I don’t know why I wasn’t subscribed earlier, but you are a gentleman to listen to and I do appreciate your insight
Thanks so much for your insight. I'm looking to buy my first Rolex as a daily wear and I'm deciding between a smooth Datejust with jubilee or oyster bracelet. Your assumption is a perfect match! Question though - does the Jubilee offer a wider range of bracelet fitment sizes due to the smaller link length? The only bad thing about my old Seamaster is the lack of micro adjust which is hell when my wrist swells, so I want my next watch to be comfortable.
The thing with the blue Sub is that Invicta has the exact same watch, someone came up and said hey is that a Invicta watch? Sold it and got a Bumblebee Sub.
This is the best video I have seen on the range of Rolex watches, this is a classic video . Thanks for such great narration. I found it to be very informative and interesting
Hey Charlie, I'm just wondering what would be a good watch going into college. Could you help me with narrowing down the options? I am thinking of either the explorer 2, black sub, or a dayjust smooth bezel with an oyster bracelet.
I’ve got a no date sub and am looking for a second watch. Does the 39MM white dial OP fit for a dressy/weekend watch? The white Daytona is a grail but I can’t pull the trigger on that one just yet.
Personally I’d consider the white dial sportier, but presumably dressier than a Sub. It really depends on how dressy you want it to be. In the end it’s still a steel oyster bracelet watch and will be less dressy than a million other options on a leather strap. Still a nice watch though!
My only luxury watch is a Datejust with full jubilee bracelet and a fluted bezel. I've worn it daily for over 15 years and love it! It obviously looks great for weekend/evening wear, but I love it so much that I wear it any other chance I get too.
That’s so amazing to hear mate! You clearly have a real connection to that watch! Wear it and enjoy it, that’s what owning a luxury timepiece is all about! 🙌🏻💯
Had a steel & gold Daytona, but sold it to fund a Royal Oak purchase. I liked how it wore - never had a more comfortable, solid feeling watch - but just never bonded with it.
I would like to wear a Rolex at my wedding, and at first was thinking about a full yellow or white gold. Do you have any tips for this sort of occasion? It can be any model or material too.
Any tips for going to an AD and #1 choice is a blue skydweller? Determined that’s my #1 that I really want but know it’s very sought after as well and don’t want to get laughed out of the AD. thanks
Yes so with this being such a highly sought after model, it would be unlikely you will be able to get this model as your first watch. You may have to build a relationship and buy a few other less desirable pieces to get offered this one down the line. I hope this helps! 🙌
@@thehonestwatchdealeryea i mean i get it. It’s just a huge turn off honestly when I know people are just looking to get it to flip it and make money.I got 16k saved, have 0 interest in flipping it and want to keep it for life so it just sucks to “lose” out to people who potentially are just buying it to flip it.

So pretty much everyone that buys any of them is doing pretty well in life. Lol. I have the datejust w smooth bezel (but I also have a wg fluted bezel if I wanna switch out for more classy look.) and a day date. The datejust is def the more everyday pending if I'm wearing wg chain. And the day date is when I'm wearing my yg chain more on dressy occasions. I wear the datejust also if I'm driving the cayanne turbo. Then the daydate when driving the 911 turbo.
I have the black dial Panda daytona & a root beer. The only rolexes i wanted to own... how guys & gals spend so much money on 10+ rolexes is insane to me... u can literally get a tudor. Same quality for a 3rd of the price. If your going to spend that kind of money, get a patek, AP, vaserone or FP journe...
@rayshac3450 I thought about the white dial 1 for awhile. But when I saw the black dial in person, it called me lol... But the white dial is very beautiful as well
@@markusstevensakabiginfinit9523 I got mine from Ernest Jones in 2007 when it was still very difficult to get on waiting lists. I used to phone around for months on end putting my name down and then all of a sudden they started to call. Within 18 months I had 3 Daytonas (2 white dial and 1 black) And a DeepSea Dweller. And what made them purchases even better was the 10% Discount card that I had from being a shareholder in Signet group (£20 worth of shares) who owned Ernest Jones Jewellers. I kept a White for myself, Let my pal have a White, Offered the Black to another pal for cost price (he didn’t want it) so I sold it to a watch dealer for a £900 profit and also sold the SeaDweller for list (I earnt the 10% as profit) If I could have afforded it I would have kept them all. 🙁
Thank you Charlie for this! Would love you opinion on the “palm motif” for the Datejust. For myself, 33 year old guy, self employed farmer. First Rolex. Thank you!
Maybe an idea for a future video, but it would be cool to do a video where you try on different models and dials to see how they look on camera. The Pikachu always looks great, but other model and dial variations would be cool to see as well
Ok first things first. I really enjoyed your video. While it is the first that I have viewed of your's, it will not be the last. I loved your content and style. You are easy to listen to and down to earth. I am always watching .. "Watch" videos and you have a new subscriber. Super job.
Bought my first Rolex this past June… 2005 Bluesy and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady Date with Diamond bezel for my wife …then went on to buy the 2023 Datejust with Mint green dial fluted bezel and oyster bracelet in July. August was a 2017 Datejust in white gold with a Rhodium dial and Jubilee bracelet. September was a 2023 Yachtmaster, October was a 2010 Polar White Explorer II (which was the one I went to buy to begin with back in June), and November was a 2008 Milgauss with a white dial …. The one that started it all for me, as far as buying a Rolex was concerned, but I never pulled the trigger on buying …. Went a little bit ham this year 😳
Proud to have a Blusey as my first watch from my AD as a 30th present to myself; stunning. I really want a Wimbledon and an OP 41 celebration to complete my perfect trio. Then if I’m greedy I’d like a motif datejust, a Sub no date, and one day a Daytona Panda or white gold.
Great video! What about someone that adds a diamond bezel instead of the fluted bezel on the datejust or day date? Is that very rare for a guy to do and more popular for women’s watches?
Submariner and Jubilee. When I looked at it, I remembered the hard work to achieve that level. My favorite Submariner is Hulk. My favorite Jubilee is white gold and cyan dial with them arabs number ١٢٣.. How bout you Charlie, what's your favorite watch 🤙
Hi Charlie. Can you comment on good choices for the modern woman who is tall and has 7inch or greater wrist and what are some suggestions for great watches.
Hi Lisa, Some great choices for Ladies watches these days are the Daytona range, slightly larger than the typical Ladies watch however they are becoming more and more popular as a Unisex watch 👍
Charlie, great video! I have the wrist for a deep sea and pursuing one. Can you share the key differences between to 126660 and the new 136660 both in black
Excellent video. There's just one thing I'd like to metion. Rolex being elusive to a big chunk of watch lovers has kinda changed what people would likely pick. Its like if rhe AD calls and says I have a sub (date) and I wanted a no date version, chances are ill just take it because I'm not sure if ill get the one I want anytime in the near future. So my first Rolex was the SD 43, followed by the explorer 2 polar and I'm getting a GMT master II sprite tomorrow. I wanted a Batman but I picked the Sprite on the jubilee instead. But the video is spot on otherwise if people had to pick without being made to wait an eternity. Hoping I don't regret my decision of buying the sprite instead of the Batman. Thanks for the video!
Thank you mate I really appreciate that! Glad you liked the video 🙏 Sounds like you have a great collection already - the Sprite is definitely a good one to go for! 👌🏻
I want a white Explorer II to go with my Batgirl and blue Pelagos (daily). I don't think I'll ever get a panda. Jubilee bracelet more comfortable. Also have a Breitling Aerospace that I've had for decades (old daily).
@@thehonestwatchdealer sorry to ask a followup, but I am considering purchasing the mustard or a bluesey, they are similar in price locally, and I will def be wearing it. Which do you think holds the better long term investment potential? Thank you again for all your videos, I have learned so much from them.
So the GMT would be more of a collectors piece, and a new Bluesy would be one for wearing. If it is to wear, which ever you will enjoy the most will be the best to go for 👌@@jonathandavidmonroepelosi2716
Charlie, you've really helped me tighten up my game on Rolex purchases! Switching gears, any insights on Vacheron Constantin Overseas? Would the stainless steel model with the blue dial be a decent long-term buy??
So a guy who's done well for himself, owns his own business or has a high up job. And wants a watch. Such insight.
"This is a guy who's got $30k to drop on a watch, possibly due to poor financial judgment."
I enjoyed the video, but I was kind of thinking the same thing as your comment.

@@markusstevensakabiginfinit9523 I got mine from Ernest Jones in 2007 when it was still very difficult to get on waiting lists. I used to phone around for months on end putting my name down and then all of a sudden they started to call. Within 18 months I had 3 Daytonas (2 white dial and 1 black) And a DeepSea Dweller. And what made them purchases even better was the 10% Discount card that I had from being a shareholder in Signet group (£20 worth of shares) who owned Ernest Jones Jewellers. I kept a White for myself, Let my pal have a White, Offered the Black to another pal for cost price (he didn’t want it) so I sold it to a watch dealer for a £900 profit and also sold the SeaDweller for list (I earnt the 10% as profit) If I could have afforded it I would have kept them all. 🙁
Thank you Charlie for this! Would love you opinion on the “palm motif” for the Datejust. For myself, 33 year old guy, self employed farmer. First Rolex. Thank you!
Yes it is a stunning model, quite a small market as it is such a rare dial - should be a good one for the future 👍
Maybe an idea for a future video, but it would be cool to do a video where you try on different models and dials to see how they look on camera. The Pikachu always looks great, but other model and dial variations would be cool to see as well
Hi Aaron, a great idea, I’ll see what I can do 👌🏻
Ok first things first. I really enjoyed your video. While it is the first that I have viewed of your's, it will not be the last. I loved your content and style. You are easy to listen to and down to earth. I am always watching .. "Watch" videos and you have a new subscriber. Super job.
Thank you mate really appreciate that! Welcome to the channel and so glad you like the content! 👍
I’m 70 years old & never wanted to own a Rolex Daytona⌚️🙏
👌🏻🙌 Thank you for watching!
You are gay
I've never seen the appeal either. If I want to be flash, I'd take a gold day-date
@@SomeoneSmarterthats because people arent tryna be flash when they wear a daytona. They try to be trendy theres a difference
To each his own.
You left out the Milgauss and Air-King -- and I suspect we Milgauss and Air-King owners are just fine with that 😉.
What would you say about the air King? It’s my favourite and is never on thoses lists.
I will try and cover the Air-King in the next video 👌🏻 stunning model though, very different! 👌🏻
Bought my first Rolex this past June… 2005 Bluesy and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady Date with Diamond bezel for my wife …then went on to buy the 2023 Datejust with Mint green dial fluted bezel and oyster bracelet in July. August was a 2017 Datejust in white gold with a Rhodium dial and Jubilee bracelet. September was a 2023 Yachtmaster, October was a 2010 Polar White Explorer II (which was the one I went to buy to begin with back in June), and November was a 2008 Milgauss with a white dial …. The one that started it all for me, as far as buying a Rolex was concerned, but I never pulled the trigger on buying …. Went a little bit ham this year 😳
Haha sounds like you have built up quite the collection in a short amount of time! Congratulations mate, all stunning models 👌🏻
are dj 36 jubliee & gmt oyster strap interchangeable ?
Unfortunately not, as the cases are different shapes and sizes 👍
Really interesting.
This watches channel keep on going better days after days.
Thank you so much mate, really appreciate that! 🙏
Proud to have a Blusey as my first watch from my AD as a 30th present to myself; stunning. I really want a Wimbledon and an OP 41 celebration to complete my perfect trio. Then if I’m greedy I’d like a motif datejust, a Sub no date, and one day a Daytona Panda or white gold.
Such a Stunning one to get as your first watch, congratulations! Really great list of watches to aim for too, you have great taste 👌
Great video! What about someone that adds a diamond bezel instead of the fluted bezel on the datejust or day date? Is that very rare for a guy to do and more popular for women’s watches?
It’s a tough one, increases the RRP and reduces the market drastically for the watch Can be tough to move on 👍
Outstanding well done Charlie great video as usual mate speak soon 👍🏻💥💥
Thank you Paul! Hope you are well mate, speak to you soon! 👌🏻🙌
Love your channel mate. Great video! Thank you for creating wonderful content.
Thank you mate I really appreciate that! So glad you like the content! 🙏
I daily my panda! Even go hiking with it!
Very nice! Stunning watch mate 👏🏻👌🏻
7-3/4 wrist circumference here... i want a rolex for my bday. explorer 40 or sub? Would the explorer 40 be too small?
It might be an ok fit, the best thing to do would be to try it on if you can before pulling the trigger 👌
Submariner and Jubilee.
When I looked at it, I remembered the hard work to achieve that level.
My favorite Submariner is Hulk.
My favorite Jubilee is white gold and cyan dial with them arabs number ١٢٣..
How bout you Charlie, what's your favorite watch 🤙
Some excellent choices! Can't beat a Hulk 👊
The Pikachu has to be up there for me! 👍
Really enjoyed that Charlie, great selection of watchs hulk for me.
Great choice mate, the Hulk is such an iconic model 👌🏻💯
Do you accept crypto as a payment method? And do you sell new/unworn Rolex’s?
You are spot on on the exp2. I own 2, black 216570 and white 226570. I like my Rolex to be apart, daily and discrete.
Congratulations mate, stunning models, enjoy them!
Hi Charlie. Can you comment on good choices for the modern woman who is tall and has 7inch or greater wrist and what are some suggestions for great watches.
Hi Lisa,
Some great choices for Ladies watches these days are the Daytona range, slightly larger than the typical Ladies watch however they are becoming more and more popular as a Unisex watch 👍
Loved it! My 1st Rolex was an explorer 2 42mm and now I just got a Batman! 💙
Congratulations! Both stunning models 👌🏻
No thoughts on the yachtmaster 40 with the rhodium dial??
Such a stunning combination, I will try and cover this one in a future video 👌🏻
My first Rolex was a Date Just , stainless steel fluted with a Jubilee bracelet, white dial with Roman numerals and it was my daily watch.
Beautiful timepiece mate, a really stunning combination! So glad to hear it was your daily, imagine it brought you so much enjoyment 🙌
Whats the ref. number of the one youre wearing?
I wear a 116518LN old reference Oysterflex Daytona with the stunning ‘Pikachu’ dial 🙌🏻💯
what about the (in my opinion supirior) Milgauss 116400? (i prefer the white dial, and then id gor for the black. Z-Blue just isnt it for me)
I’m going to cover the Milgauss in the next video of this one 👌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer Thanks!
Charlie, great video! I have the wrist for a deep sea and pursuing one. Can you share the key differences between to 126660 and the new 136660 both in black
Thanks mate I appreciate it! Great choice to go for, I’ll see if I can do a comparison video sometime soon 👍
AR coating on the 136660 underside, no divers extension, chamfered crystal, bezel a tad thinner, that’s it . Got one 😊
I've had my Submariner Oyster Perpetual non date for 50 years, and it has served me well.
Congratulations mate such a stunning model! Great to hear it’s still going strong!
Great information. I think you’re spot on in your client assessment.
Thank you Robert, really appreciate it, thank you for watching 👍
No mention of the Millgauss?
Excellent video. There's just one thing I'd like to metion. Rolex being elusive to a big chunk of watch lovers has kinda changed what people would likely pick. Its like if rhe AD calls and says I have a sub (date) and I wanted a no date version, chances are ill just take it because I'm not sure if ill get the one I want anytime in the near future. So my first Rolex was the SD 43, followed by the explorer 2 polar and I'm getting a GMT master II sprite tomorrow. I wanted a Batman but I picked the Sprite on the jubilee instead. But the video is spot on otherwise if people had to pick without being made to wait an eternity. Hoping I don't regret my decision of buying the sprite instead of the Batman. Thanks for the video!
Thank you mate I really appreciate that! Glad you liked the video 🙏
Sounds like you have a great collection already - the Sprite is definitely a good one to go for! 👌🏻
Great video! Great demographic breakdown. You forgot the James Cameron DSD.
Thanks for watch, so pleased you liked it!
I’ll try get it in the next one! 👌🏻
I want a white Explorer II to go with my Batgirl and blue Pelagos (daily). I don't think I'll ever get a panda. Jubilee bracelet more comfortable.
Also have a Breitling Aerospace that I've had for decades (old daily).
Very nice collection 👌 The Explorer II is definitely a good one to aim for 👍
I like your RUclips sugestióna and content but when Ineied to contact appears invalid
Hi mate, you can try and contact us through the website:
www.theluxurywatchcompany.com
i have a breitling avenger limited and a tudor black bay, but i feel like that is not well enough for myself. i will try a rolex soon.
You’ve got two great watches in your collection mate! A Rolex would make a fantastic addition, good luck with your purchase 🙌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer thanks mate
Cracking good video Charlie! I think that's pretty spot on
Thank you mate! Appreciate that glad you liked it 🙏
Another great Video Charlie, It was a pleasure doing business with you recently regarding the Sub Date, Top bloke to deal with some good advice
Thank you for watching Darren! Hope to hear from you again soon 👍
excellent video!! What are your thoughts on the ROLEX GMT Master-II 16713 Brown (mustard)?
Thank you mate I appreciate that - very nice watch and rather rare these days! 👌
@@thehonestwatchdealer sorry to ask a followup, but I am considering purchasing the mustard or a bluesey, they are similar in price locally, and I will def be wearing it. Which do you think holds the better long term investment potential? Thank you again for all your videos, I have learned so much from them.
So the GMT would be more of a collectors piece, and a new Bluesy would be one for wearing. If it is to wear, which ever you will enjoy the most will be the best to go for 👌@@jonathandavidmonroepelosi2716
Saw what about me, I have an Explorer, Submariner Date, SS Daytona, Milgauss green crystal and a Batman GMT?
Oh wow, such a great and varied collection! You definitely know your watches 👌🏻
I was waiting on you to say - the type of client who buys this model tends to be a total 🔔 end.
Haha never! 🤣
Great video, really enjoyed and loved the insights.
Thank you, really appreciate it - so glad you liked the video! 🙏
What about the sprite and the twotone/full gold GMT's?
I’ll try and include those great models in the next one! 🙏
Good to see u…you make my Sundays
1st comment. hehehe
Haha thank you for tuning again! Glad you liked the content, appreciate it 👍
Loved the video, Charlie. You have great inventory. Best wishes from California.
Thank you mate really appreciate it 🙏
Great interesting video. Was waiting for the Yachtmaster 2 review
Thank you mate I appreciate that, I’ll see what I can do for next time 🙌
in your opinion what does a 36 day date in white gold, oyster bracelet with smooth dial say about the person wearing it?
Ah I will try and include that on the next one 😉
you can just let me know personally @@thehonestwatchdealer
hey! what would you recommend for a young business owner? around 9-15k for a first rolex
Something like a Submariner would be a great starting point for your first Rolex. Can't beat the flagship model 👌
@@thehonestwatchdealer thoughts a on gmt2 two tone gold jubilee? really liking the mix between sportiness and class.
Spot on with the submariners!
👌🏻🙌
Love this channel!
Thank you mate I appreciate that!
Charlie, you've really helped me tighten up my game on Rolex purchases! Switching gears, any insights on Vacheron Constantin Overseas? Would the stainless steel model with the blue dial be a decent long-term buy??
Thanks David really appreciate it!
That is a stunning model, and one of the Holy Trinities, should be a great long term hold 👌🏻
Do you like the white dial at all?
What do you think about the sprite?
Such a fantastic model, great ones to go for!
