Is it still watch collecting at this stage or more of some kind of fear of missing out and compulsive buying? A collection is built slowly and carefully. You take the time to appreciate each watch or two before getting another. Yes I can afford to buy 15 Rolexes. Will I be buying them all in the same year? Certainly not. Anyway that's simply my humble opinion
This is why i don't understand why a true watch enthusiast would put up with this. I like a handful of Rolex watches, but playing the game and getting treated like we are fortunate to spend money with them just takes away from the watch for me. I bought my Pepsi in 2005 and boy was service from all AD's different. Shame, real shame.
I brought the same watch and a lady datejust ref 279173 as engagement watches. My then fiancee now wife and I both love the elegance and legacy behind the datejusts. I don't wear the watch very often, nonetheless it reminds me the meaningful event in my life every time I lay my eyes on it.
Bought that same exact one from a show room floor from my AD for a a gift for someone. My first Rolex was a date just and that one is a classic that will never her old
The roman dial DJ is my favorite model and I am planing to buy one, but with oyster bracelet and smooth bezel as first option, oyster fluted as second! Enjoy it is amazing.
Great watch!!!. I actually found it along with the 41mm blue dial DJ just 3-4 months back. And now its impossible to find both watches anywhere. Maybe I should've just bought it right then and there XD
Just put a 20% deposit down on a 36mm exact same setup. I originally wanted a 41mm. Damnit your video has me 2nd guessing myself. The only issue with a 41mm is they cannot request that from Rolex but they can for the 36mm. I’m ordering from a AD in Tampa, FL.
Removing stickers & plastic is a policy? Since watch was covered on the delivery tray did they allow you to inspect before they filled out the warranty card?
damn.. I can remember time's when boutique's in Germany had problems selling their Rolex's. they offered big discount's. these time's are gone .. it's nearly impossible now to just walk in a store buy one and leave with your Rolex. they have become collecter's item's and trade object's like stock's .
I got 20% off when I bought my two tone Datejust in California in 1989 without even asking for it. Total cost was $2700, and that seemed like a fortune at the time. I still have the watch and all the paperwork etc.
@@check2000 over the long time when interest rates were practically at 0% some people have " invested" in Rolex watches as a brand , too. btw. my comment was from over 2 years ago. sure, a reply now is different . times have changed rapidly.
Hi Niko, same thing over here in the states...the two ADs that I've bought Rolex over the past year - they removed all the stickers and didn't give me the option of keeping at least some of them on. I wold have liked to keep the clasp stickers on to prevent scratches at least for a while.
how beautiful to know another culture on the other side of the world... and see the luxury of living well I am from Ecuador South America and luxury is not similar to the Middle East congratulations on your channel
So lucky, this is the exact model and spec of my dream watch. Hopefully one day 🙏 I will be in a position to own one. Thank you so much for this video.
@@RJ-xh4xb Please don't comment when you have no idea what you're talking about. Read my comment again. I said fluted bezel. That is in white gold but the rest of the watch is steel. "Fluted" and "jubilee" means I'm talking about the same watch that you see in this video. I said $9,900 because that is the asking price in US dollars before tax. The title simply includes the tax. I have purchased literally millions of dollars in watches. I'm a huge collector. You have no idea what you're talking about. Class dismissed.
I can't find a Presidential watch in L.A., CA, but boy they aren't short of any of my favorite ones there. MY 2007 came with the green label on the back of the watch and had no plastic on it back then, as far as I remember nor did my wife's.
I was shocked. We have exactly the same watch. I got it a few weeks ago. I saw it at my Rolex store and bought it on the spot. I think it’s a beautiful watch, that people overlook. The AD removed all the stickers for me, but left on the protective tape.
How are you doing with your watch? I've heard that the 32xx mechanism is not very good, and it often has problems with low amplitude and inaccurate timing
I just picked up a Wimbledon dial! I was in the market for a different dial and then the green Roman numerals caught my eye and that was it. I went with a two toned jubilee band and a fluted bezel. Hope your just as excited about your purchase still 4months later.
Hi. You should go into a store and add your name to the list. Seddiqi staff are nice.. I didn’t have any history with them and I got mine in a few days time.. even if they don’t have stock you should be able to get it in a month or 2
@@mathemagicianwhizzkid1056 where is that may I ask ? And been to the big Rolex store ready to purchase and felt like I was rushed out of the store and the staff were quite rude in my opinion. Which I wasn’t expecting bare in mind I’m wanting to buy a 10,000 dollar plus for a watch !
@@coleharris-simms8253 I actually called the Seddiqi multi brand store in Burjuman Center.. They said they will arrange and call. Luckily there was one piece available and the guy arranged it for me. You can also try visiting that store, all the staff were very nice and I am sure they will add you to the wishlist
Hey Michael, the datejust 41mm I bought was for a friend. I own only the 36mm, but I tried both several times of course. Currently I would prefer a 41mm with the blue dial, cause the dark dial makes it look quite small. With a bright dial I think 36mm is better. Overall 36mm is also a lot more comfortable. So if you like to wear shirts usually I think 36mm is fine and more comfy, combined with shorts and t-shirt what I usually wear a 41mm blue dial would be better.
@@TheDubaiExpat I agree, dark colors make the dial smaller than it is. I will go for a blue as well (same config than your 36) but in 41. I hesitated a hell lot, more than a year to finally decide to go for the 41 and eventually go for a 36 when I get older. I would say the 41 is more sporty and the 36 is more dressy. What do you think?
Thanks for the video. I would figure they would remove the plastic for you. I would also figure they would use cloths gloves and not exam gloves to touch the watch. I saw a video of the Rolex purchase in Singapore and it was so much different. Maybe this guy was new.
You are so lucky you can buy Rolex’s at AD. For my job i get to travel a lot so i have visited lot of ADs but nothing is ever available. All I want is a Sub 😩 i am in Dubai next week for the first time. Lets see if i can get anything. Great channel and love the content.
This is ridiculous. U think I’m gonna spend $10,800.00 and be forced to remove the stickers on my watch. If I purchase something I’m gonna do what I want to the watch. No one is gonna tell me I have to do something to the thing I purchased. This is why I’ve been turned off by Rolex. Keep the watch. It’s over priced any way
Hello Sir. I am a watch lover from Madagascar 🇲🇬. Since I was a kid, I always wear Swatch, that's where my passion begins. As I grew up, I had some Seiko and Citizen, then Tissot, Tag Heuer, and more "not very expensive" brands like Longines or Baume & Mercier. As I get older, I became more successful in business and I begin to collect luxury watches like IWC, Omega, Cartier. But now, I want to have a Rolex. Where do you think I will have the best chance to get one (in Dubaï or anywhere) ? After that, the next goal is Patek and AP.
Nice vlog ngl I prefer raymond weil to rolex tho. But if I was offered a rolex or a Raymind weil s a gift I'd choose the rolex sell it for £12k & by a Raymond weil for £1k and put the £11k towards A BMW.
I dont agree on the stickers removal, its your watch and you paid for it so if you need it with all stickers maybe after u need to sell its your choice!

That white dial with the Roman numerals is a very handsome watch, timeless.

It’s an addiction basically. Thankfully, having to play the waiting game and courtship with the AD’s helps to regulate the frequency of purchases.
Love this dial. Can't wait to get one (36mm, smooth bezel and oyster bracelet... I prefer subtle rather than flashy)
I just bought the white roman dial with smoothe bezel and oyster bracelet for my daughter.
At omega u were treated like royalty. Here seems like they doing u a favor ! (Rolex-> pay and get out of our store 😂)
True story
Good point
Yes, but you make profits, is like investment objet

Rolex watches are like potato chips. You just can't have one.
Interestingly this model is $8,550 in the US as per the Rolex website
Not today….

Very beautiful. I just inherited a Datejust 37+ years old from my father who passed away...
It’s actually against the law for Rolex to ask you to take off the stickers. You have purchased the watch so they are yours to do with has you wish,
T
Removing stickers & plastic is a policy? Since watch was covered on the delivery tray did they allow you to inspect before they filled out the warranty card?
Nope, I had it once that I bought a watch that was scratched already. They have to call the area sales manager and he can approve a refund.

is the back of the watch scatched?
