Yeah, kept the quiet part - wants to flex then make a profit - to himself. I really enjoy their videos - but neither looks like a dive/sport watch guy.
I'm on for an Omega Silver Snoopy for the exact same reasons. If I don't get the call, no biggie. But, in a couple years when I would reasonably get the call, it'll time well with my "official" beating cancer. And I cannot think of a better watch to celebrate with. If I don't get it, a sapphire sandwich moon watch is a hell of a consolation prize!
As a slightly older gentleman coming up 60 ,I find it near impossible for me to see the time on the Daytona without out glasses.My breitling b01 43mm is the chronograph I wear when I want to see the time.😂
Platinum I thought it was a much harder and denser metal then gold and that is also why Rolex was just able to do a fluted bezel in platinum on the day date
“Which is more valuable gold or platinum? Because platinum rings are heavier, rarer, and more pure than gold, they are more valuable. Even though pure gold may be more expensive per ounce, because platinum is denser, more of it is used when making a ring. Additionally, platinum rings are usually 95% pure platinum, while 14k gold is only 58.5% gold (18k gold is 75% gold).” “Platinum is More Durable Though both gold and platinum are strong and durable precious metals, platinum is the more durable of the two. This is a result of platinum’s extreme density and chemical structure. For example, the prongs holding the center stone of a platinum engagement ring are less likely to break then those of a gold engagement ring. Pretty neat right? Platinum’s density means that it will take longer to wear away than gold. And, its chemical structure means that when someone strikes a platinum ring, the metal only moves, instead of being scratched off.” “Platinum Scratches Easier than 14k Gold Despite being more durable, platinum is actually a softer metal than 14k gold. This means it will scratch a little easier than 14k gold. However, an important thing to note is that when gold is scratched, the gold is lost (and it looks like a scratch). When platinum is scratched, the platinum only gets moved from one place on the ring to another. And, it develops something called a patina finish (the look of an antique ring). A lot of people love and desire a patina finish!”
Yeah I think he just misunderstood that. He is right that Plat is less resistant to scratches, but plat is also more durable in bending and in wear over the time over the 18k gold.
I used to work for a glass manufacturer; they use lots of platinum to handle molten glass. It’s notoriously malleable and had to go to fabricators all the time to get re-shaped. This was industrial platinum, with no alloys..
No date chronographs look the best. The only chronograph I like with date is the Sinn 144 STSA that's basically a Porsche design with a day date. To many companies jamming dates on chronographs that look terrible
The Daytona is a great watch, proportions are prefect in every way. I own a 116509 full white gold with silver dial. I didn't want a ceramic bezel (give me full gold). No date on the Daytona is right. I love wearing it, just an amazing watch. The weight reminds you that you have something special. The platinum one just magnificent.

It’s insecurity. Talking about it all the time is part of the initial phase of success. Once you accumulate tons of it you stop talking about it and it just becomes a part of your circumstances and you don’t feel the need to advertise it. In fact, you downplay it
Great video once again but would love to see more reviews on more affordable watches. Tudor was a great vid as well as oris in the past. Maybe some tags, tissot, Hamilton, mido, seiko levels. Thanks guys for the greats videos. Always hilarious.
Has anyone ever gotten a call after more than 2 years? I always assumed that if the waitlist was that long, the overflow just went straight into the ADs trash bin at business close.
People want what everybody else wants. Thats the sad truth unfortunately, once this watch hype wave is gone, things will get back to normal. We forget that things were normal for over 100 years and only the ast 3 years have been insane in this market
@@mrjunk3203 yes. Many don’t realize how much wealth there is in the world; and new people getting rich all the time. Short of worldwide depression where we’re living without electricity, food, etc there will always be a long list of prospective R buyers.
I always felt like the right side of the Daytona was a bit too bulky and made it seem unbalanced as a whole. One thing are the crownguards on a chronograph, but add screw-down pushers and it all just becomes a bit much.
The list length is directly proportional to how well you can charm your ad and convince them you will buy more in the future. Mine actually did divulge that they DONT want to sell to flippers so long standing history is best.
The Daytona is gorgeous. But theres so many other comparable pieces for a far more fair price. Rolex quality and craftsmanship is top notch but its not unrivaled.
Platinum has a distinct advantage over gold. Gold will wear or scratch off. Platinum never wears off or scratches off. Platinum simply moves around retaining the original precious metal. Platinum will eventually climb again as it is far rarer then gold.
Love the video I’ve never seen a Daytona in person but I agree its no doubt a perfectly made chronograph especially in this ice blue dial with a chocolate brown bezel and with an oyster bracelet… Can’t be beat 🔥
Correction. It wasn’t the first ceramic Daytona. Reference 116515LN was the first ceramic Daytona I own this watch and there simply aren’t enough superlatives to describe this watch. Great video guys 👍
I used to really aspire to own a Rolex until I realized just how much you pay for a crown logo on your watch.....so many better options for price and on the used market you can get banger watches for 60% off retail. What are people doing??!?!!? You can't even wear a Rolex without getting robbed and muck faced by a robber
Best ever? That's a bit much. The blue is nice. Platinum is cool I guess, really just a flex it doesn't offer much in looks or practicality. The brown kills it though, IMO. Such a weird clash with that blue, and not in a fun contrast-y way to me. Bezel and sub dial rings should be black, silver, or darker blue... no doubt.
Your statement about platinum being soft is completely incorrect. The Moh’s hardness of platinum is equal to that of steel and much greater then that of gold. Look it up
Agree this is one of the best Daytonas, but there are soooooo many other watches I would buy before it. Not even the best chronograph imo either. Im good with my ALS and Zeniths
Michael, go back to your AD if it’s been a while, they may be more accommodating. I got the call last week for the Air-King I wanted two days after going into an AD cold without purchase history. Another local AD has a 2-tone Sub for sale in the case…not exhibition.
Christian: "The more a watch weights, the more I love it." And he's wearing a 30-gram Cartier. PS: the B-roll at 9'00'' when he talks about his Cartier - oh so wrong.
Great video; keep them coming. Having said that - neither of you look like a Daytona guy. Tennis fans: see Fed wearing his Daytona in his retirement video yesterday?
Hopefully, it be soon.... cuz I want one no matter anybody else wants it or not. Missed out in 2011, fool that I was. Went with peer pressure.. "Rolex is for old people". I loved Daytona then and I love it more on ceramic.
@@amaktoomjan I sincerely hope you’ll get one. It’s a shame that because of what’s been going with Rolex sports watches you couldn’t get the watch you love.
@@amaktoomjan I hope you slapped that person senseless. Rolexes are only owned by older men because of the prices. I too procrastinated; first with the Milgauss, then the Exp II Polar and GMT Masters. Are you considering the Tudor chronos?
@@WestCoastAce27 Yeah... No. That was all my fault that I fell for it. I feel the Tudor Black Bay Chrono is beautiful as well. I am not too sure though. I bought Black Bay GMT hoping it would subside my desire for Pepsi .....but no. It did not scratch the itch. I have spoken to Tudor about Black Bay Chrono in White. Hopefully it is my genuine liking for this watch and not my alternative to Daytona. I dont see these two in same light like I did with the GMTs, so hopefully, I will come to love BB Chrono as I do now and not regret it like BB GMT.

😂hilarious
Hahahha
Seven years later, i said F it. Im paying secondary haha
Saying you're on the list for a Daytona is like saying you sent a DM to Jennifer Aniston. Anyone can do it, but you're not getting a response 😂
i love that, i may as well dm her now
I’m stealing that!
Neighbors heard that laugh. Even though a > 40 yr old pack a day smoker is a pass; will use with Kara Del Toro…
“I’m a dress watch guy”
On the list for a Royal Oak and drools over the platinum Daytona, love it !
Yeah, kept the quiet part - wants to flex then make a profit - to himself.
I really enjoy their videos - but neither looks like a dive/sport watch guy.
On MOHs scale of hardness, 18k white gold is 2.8 while platinum is at least 4.5 making platinum much harder
I'm on for an Omega Silver Snoopy for the exact same reasons. If I don't get the call, no biggie. But, in a couple years when I would reasonably get the call, it'll time well with my "official" beating cancer. And I cannot think of a better watch to celebrate with.

@@popamonkey190 Thank you! So far so good, and I have no reason to think or expect otherwise going forward!
The Silver Snoopy on the other hand...lol.

*Says it with a 20mm Cartier on a leather strap on his wrist
Haha looks great tho

The Mohs scale rates platinum as a harder metal than gold.
The smoke detector chirp is KILLING me. I don’t understand how people can ever ignore this.
Platinum is not softer than Gold, you can easily look that up. It is harder on the Mohs, Vickers and Brinell scales.
Yeah I think he just misunderstood that. He is right that Plat is less resistant to scratches, but plat is also more durable in bending and in wear over the time over the 18k gold.
You should make a story commercial of the history of the Daytona that shows emotion, could really help Rolex out selling them

Congrats Michael on the launch day of Iron Snail!!
Never will I understand the lust for a Daytona. Plus, no date? Serially manufactured if I’m not mistaken. For $75,000, it wouldn’t make my top 50.
unless I can drive it forget about it....agreed just another stupid anomaly in the watch industry....
I’m with you. I wore a Daytona and at 40mm, with the bezel, the dial is too small for the complications. How could they stuff a date in there?
I don't like the Daytona either I think most of it is hype. It's not that great looking.
No date chronographs look the best. The only chronograph I like with date is the Sinn 144 STSA that's basically a Porsche design with a day date. To many companies jamming dates on chronographs that look terrible

how does the platinum not fall off? Bc its so dense?
I’ve heard something like that before. And it’s one of the reasons it’s hard to polish too, it essentially starts “melting” instead of polishing.
I still prefer gold.
Love the banter. Nice. No need to be constantly reminded that Christian has lots of money.

I don’t think you “love the weight”. you love to wear ladies watches.

OMG...Pleeeze change the battery on your smoke alarm!!! It's driving me insane...like the Seinfeld episode.
Gorgeous Daytona. Pretty sure Platinum is harder than gold though, right in between 18K and SS
Wow!! The famous Cosmoprah that went to the moon?! 🌝🌚
Congratulations man. I hope it is everything you hope. I still haven't earned it, but someday soon I'll get my blue milgaus.
I honestly think the weight of it is perfect.

Great video as usual, but change the dang battery on that smoke detector!
Which dial do you prefer? With baguette diamonds or without??
Love this daytona!!!! It was nice meeting you in suit supply the other day! I was the one with the blue face skydweller 🙌🏼.
I have the white gold daytona on the oysterflex and I absouelty love it.
Congrats. Made the gigantic mistake of trying the exhibit piece on at the AD; previously had no desire but after seeing it on my wrist would love one.
what do you think about trading a 2020 pepsi GMT for a new steel black Daytonna at retail, from an AD point if view?
Am I the only one who thinks the current Daytona dial layout is ugly?
I waited about 13 months for my Daytona, it's lovely. I will say that where I live unless I'm in my AD or well any AD no one really knows what it is
The hype for the Daytona is just too mutch for my taste
maybe don't film with a smoke detector going off in the background
Thank you!!
I agree I like heavy watches for some reason to me it implies quality, and ya for sure it reminds you of how much you spent lol
Guys it's so ugly. You've got to be joking. One of the ugliest - and I like Rolex - but it trades for less for a reason.
“The Rolex That Created The Watch Bubble: Daytona”.
Yellowgold 585: 160
Yellowgold 750: 140
Palladium 950: 100
Platin 950: 150
Daytona isn't the perfect chronograph. But it's nice. I give it a solid B
That Tank looks so good! Anybody knows which model it might be? 23x30? Or the smaller one?
eh, don't like blue dials. But daytonas do look pretty good.
The Daytona is gorgeous.
But theres so many other comparable pieces for a far more fair price.
Rolex quality and craftsmanship is top notch but its not unrivaled.
Watch check, Christian wearing the most Christian watch of all time.
I'm not much for precius metals, but I absolutely love ice blue dials the color pops like nothing else
Platinum has a distinct advantage over gold. Gold will wear or scratch off. Platinum never wears off or scratches off. Platinum simply moves around retaining the original precious metal. Platinum will eventually climb again as it is far rarer then gold.
I’m not sure of the process for your short list. I do enjoy your analysis of watches and trends. I continue to wish you guys the best!
Happy Earth Strong Day Christian! It’s mine too
Gorgeous watch. But.... like everything on this channel is a sales pitch in disguise. Ok i get it you gotta push the watch.
Does working in T&H pay that much? Can I apply?
What watch is Michael wearing. Feels like a zenith but what reference?
Love the video I’ve never seen a Daytona in person but I agree its no doubt a perfectly made chronograph especially in this ice blue dial with a chocolate brown bezel and with an oyster bracelet… Can’t be beat 🔥
Correction. It wasn’t the first ceramic Daytona. Reference 116515LN was the first ceramic Daytona
I own this watch and there simply aren’t enough superlatives to describe this watch. Great video guys 👍

What are people doing??!?!!? You can't even wear a Rolex without getting robbed and muck faced by a robber
What a gorgeous blue...beautiful color combo
I had a chance to try it on (platinum) at AD and damn it was nice (and heavy 280 g. and pricey)
Best ever? That's a bit much. The blue is nice. Platinum is cool I guess, really just a flex it doesn't offer much in looks or practicality. The brown kills it though, IMO. Such a weird clash with that blue, and not in a fun contrast-y way to me. Bezel and sub dial rings should be black, silver, or darker blue... no doubt.
I did get to hold onto one at an AD awhile ago before the hype. Just sitting there in the case. It was very tough!
Your statement about platinum being soft is completely incorrect. The Moh’s hardness of platinum is equal to that of steel and much greater then that of gold. Look it up
My man the list isn’t real unfortunately.
If the daytona had a date function I would have purchased it years ago.
Lol the “list”
There is no list and no call.
You two are finer than rolex watches..
How convenient. Buy a beautiful Daytona, at a discount, after pounding the "Rolex Market Crash" drums for two months in your RUclips channel.
this is the best of the best of the best of the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............enjoy...
The Daytona is a great watch, but this platinum version doesn't work for me at all.
There's a smoke alarm low battery beeping in the video, you're not going crazy
Guys I think your fire alarm needs a new battery!
No, the battery has a nice patina.
Yay! Young Jeremy Renner is back!
Agree this is one of the best Daytonas, but there are soooooo many other watches I would buy before it. Not even the best chronograph imo either. Im good with my ALS and Zeniths
The Daytona is invitation only (based on spend) there is no list for that model
Thank god for RUclips experts
I would ALWAYS go for the yellow gold daytona rather than the platinum
I’d do anything for that platinum Daytona. Love that icy blue
Id rather have a Sedna, Moonshine, or Canopus Speedy.
Screw down pushers just are not it. The Speedmaster Pro is just a more elegant chrono. Can't win them all.
Platinum Daytona's are beautiful, especially with baguette diamonds. I bet Rolex will discontinue and move to 41 mm.
Is Christian wearing a 30mm Tank there?
Just don’t buy it from Diego or you may be in for a surprise
Michael, go back to your AD if it’s been a while, they may be more accommodating. I got the call last week for the Air-King I wanted two days after going into an AD cold without purchase history. Another local AD has a 2-tone Sub for sale in the case…not exhibition.
I love platona in life. The coolest new daytona in my mind... However that Zenith is somehow cooler!
Would love it in 38 or 37.
Great vid, don't forget to change the battery in that smoke detector:)
Christian: "The more a watch weights, the more I love it." And he's wearing a 30-gram Cartier.
PS: the B-roll at 9'00'' when he talks about his Cartier - oh so wrong.

That Daytona is stunning.
WTF, thought you were getting Tissot to make a solid gold PRX for you😮
Did you ever get the Daytona?
You own this watch, you don't need any other one.
(I'm lying to myself obviously)
When was the Gucci horsebit giveaway?
My AD wants 200k in sales history before Daytona purchase
There goes your raise
No whats on the wrist today💔💔💔
By the time someone will get a call for a Daytona, years from now, it may well be not that desired of a watch anymore
