I don’t care what anyone else says, this is the DADDY of all rolex models. Love the yellow BUT again, for me, got to be the rose, with chocolate diamond baguette dial. Excellent purchase Bruce,
Dear Bruce, I have just purchased the exact same Day Date yesterday after having been waiting for 25 years. I have seen your video 2 days ago, just one day before purchasing it. After having spent so much time waiting for it, you have just brought it all on point. Great video quality. Great vibe. Have as much fun as possible with your watch and keep on creating such beautiful videos!
@@gerardanthony9834 its my daily. Always wanted it. Now I enjoy it. Its lying right next me as I just woke up. Its so beautiful that I still look at it like I did all the years in the internet or zooming in on other peoples wearing it. Its a classic and will ever be.
@@gerardanthony9834 I wear it almost every day. Love it like the first day. Clients, friends and strangers enjoy is with me. Looking at it right now. Its just so timeless and beautiful.
Bruce, as I said before, that piece is absolutely stunning. So glad you’re loving it, it’s a big chunk of cash, but wow, if you can, it’s a winner. Enjoy, keep well 👍
It’s a baller watch, my man. People can say it’s not their taste, don’t like YG, are anti-Rolex, or whatever. None of it changes fact that the YG DD is a straight up BALLER watch. Love that you love it!
lol exactly , I don’t like yellow gold as much as rose but alongside the rose DD 40 with the Chocolate Roman Dial I can’t wait to get this Champagne Roman Dial one day
It's loud and it's obnoxious. It's a "look at me, look at me" type of a watch. Patek is class, JLC is class FP Journe is class. This is a watch to be worn by Russian oligarchs, gangsters, Gypsies and Chinese millionaires who also think that BMW's 7 series grill looks cool.
@@arnoldjenkins5455 I'm none of above so it's rather clearly obvious. I know it's expensive, but it doesn't automatically make it classy. Same goes for RM.
Popular grail piece for a reason, there is such a palpable confidence felt on the wrist whenever you wear it. I was never particularly fond of non-steel watches, but this one changed my mind. Tony Soprano's choice for a reason.
Me too. Always been a “sport watches” guy but after seeing Tony Soprano wearing it and actually seing one in person… wow, it’s definitely the watch I’ll get upon retirement.
Somebody mentioned in another video the steel watches are going for what the precious metal watches are going for go buy a used presidential instead… as a matter fact you could have a white gold and a yellow gold 2000 through 2009 presidential watch for about 40,000 which you would pay for a 40 mm day date from Rolex these days but 36 mm I mean if you really think about it they’ve been around since the 50s the bigger watches didn’t come out until 2010 go figure🤷♂️
This is my grail watch. What got me into watches specifically a gold watch was my dads gold plated Seiko 5 DD. He bought it back in the early 2000’s & he wore that watch everywhere with any outfit & i just thought he looked so cool all the time😂 beautiful Rolex hope to buy one soon. That’s a keeper for sure Bruce!
Wow Bruce. When I first heard about you selling most of your watches in your collection to buy the gold Rolex- I thought it was a crazy move. But seeing this watch and the history behind it - I begin to understand your decision. Quality over quantity. As a watch collector who has experienced most of the modern watches, going for a mature watch makes sense indeed.
This particular Rolex is as beautiful looking today as it was 30 years ago and as it will be in 30 years time... its just timeless looking... Great video mate 👍
Great video. Your first video on this watch actually hooked my on the yellow gold Daydate. I hadn’t really given it muvch thought previously for some reason but it looks so good on your wrist and your thoughtful comments stuck in my head. Now I can’t get this watch out of my mind and I’m plotting ways to add one to my collection. Glad to see you enjoying yours so much. It is truly a special piece and I hope you continue to wear and enjoy this beauty for years to come.
I’ve been liking all gold lately. Not to commit to one yet, but I could see it in the future. If Grand Seiko introduces an all gold…I might be finished lol
Love my dd. You can wear it with absoluely any thing, on any occasion. No matter the occasion this watch makes you feel like a boss. Luxury at its best !
When you grow up and you’re finished playing with Rolex Tin-can Sport models; all roads lead back to the Day-date! Loose the tin-can hype; there is nothing that provides the manly confidence on your wrist in the way the Rolex Day-date delivers. Bruce - wear that in the best of health, and the worst of health. Enjoy 💪🏼🙏🏼⌚️
Fantastic watch in the best metal ever. The ultimate Rolex and solid bracelet watch despite of the price point ! The president bracelet is king. And for the others, YOU make the watch, the watch doesn’t make you. So you can be detestable and arrogant with a Seiko or a fantastic guy with a YG DD
Brilliant watch and video, Bruce. There are many good reasons why the Day Date is a grail watch for many, including myself. It is timeless, classic and elegant with a rich history. Enjoy yours!
Cosmetically, this is the ultimate watch for most people. Ideally, a watch should be safe (from robbery) and tough to wear 24/7 for all activities and need not remove from wrist except servicing. Nevertheless, it is beautiful.
Lovely piece. Not my style at all, but I can 100% appreciate it. I think it looks absolutely fantastic on-wrist. So classy and versatile. I think I weirdly like it a lot more on-wrist than off. Almost like it needs the context. Great watch.
What a creative use of Wago’s for the Robot’s hands. 😂 Beautiful watch! I had a history teacher back in high school (He was also a rancher) who had a black dial with diamond indices Yellow gold Day-Date.
What’s your wrist size ? 7”+ ? It looks fantastic on your wrist but gold wears large, just curious so I can scale. I’m 7” wrist on the dot but I think I’d lean toward the 36mm…thoughts?
Great analysis on the DD40. I have similar wrist size, how many links are on your DD? I took one link off and fits snug, but adding one might be loose.
when talking about the warmer glow i would say omega is the wrong watch to compare the hue with as they go after a brighter white-ish yellow with the moonshine gold
That's the legendary Warren Buffett watch. I've never saw the watch in person nor in such a high quality video. Now I understand why Buffett has worn it for multiple decades.
Beautiful watch maybe one day I can afford one! I just noticed the case looks like the same as my explorer 40 but in stainless obviously. The case sides have a slight roundness to them. Enjoy that piece Bruce! When is your next visit to Millers? I couldn’t make it out last time.
Replacing day wheel cost $80 and it can take a very, very long time. At least for me Rolex quoted a year until I can get my watch back. But I agree, it will make this watch even more personal.
I bought one in Zurich in 1970 for $700 and still wear it. It had a flush fit bracelate on it. I had it serviced and a Presidents bracelate put on it this year. The pins were worn out. This moved it to a president model. A new one today would cost $ 45,000.
Amazing intro! This is the king watch. Many hate on Rolex but if you consider the fit, finish, robustness, and guaranteed accuracy.... It's silly to argue, Rolex watches are awesome. Agreed, precious metal feels real real good!
Why did you not get the DD 36? If you're going to spend that money on a watch, shouldn't you buy the original discreet, DD instead of the nouveau rich showy one? I have a slim wrist and a DD 36, so maybe I am biased though lol
I'm as English as it gets so my choice of day wheel text would be very predictable. But, the suggestion of an Inuit language one could make this possibly the coolest day/date out there - great idea! Please make this happen 😂
You’ve come a kong way since the Air King disaster Bruce. So have i. Back tjen i dreamed of a Rolex, any Rolex. Now i own a 126613ln and i’m on THE LIST for a 126333 Wimbledon
It's not dated! It's Day-Date-d. Okay, but seriously, this is the only watch Jack Nicklaus ever owned for most of his life. He once caught the worlds largest marlin wearing that very watch.
This might sound rude but I really don’t mean for it to. That watch does not match your style man. That’s a watch for people with a certain lifestyle. People who rub shoulders with elites. You look like you just finished mowing the lawn at any given moment. Your comments about wearing this at Costco really solidified it for me. That’s like saying I go dressed in my tux to costo cause I really like it and I spent the money on it. Been a sub for a while and I like a lot of your watches. But this one is like seeing one of your friends wearing ridiculously skinny jeans still.
You’ve just talked me out of selling mine. It’s in 36mm yellow. I don’t wear it often but love looking at it.
Don't sell it. 36mm is the og size! Rock it!
I don’t care what anyone else says, this is the DADDY of all rolex models. Love the yellow BUT again, for me, got to be the rose, with chocolate diamond baguette dial. Excellent purchase Bruce,

Tony Soprano’s waste management, construction-approved!!

Ahah well said! Mine is everose, but regarless, rose gold, yellow gold, platinum, it is a baller’s watch in the great sense of the term!
truth. I shouldn’t have neglected the other precious metals. RG, YG, WG, P…it’s all heavy weight, pro player, straight up mf’n baller.
lol exactly , I don’t like yellow gold as much as rose but alongside the rose DD 40 with the Chocolate Roman Dial I can’t wait to get this Champagne Roman Dial one day
Soprano Tony style lol
The great thing about this watch is that it dresses you up with anything you wear, it is just pure class. 😊❤

Probably the best looking watch ever made, and I love your thoughts on how wearable it is on a daily basis. Man, I would’ve loved to own one ….
Wear it daily!!
I think you are right, you need some time for adapt to gold watches and enjoy without fear, except in the streets of some big cities
The best watch of all time. I will own this watch
I have literally the same exact watch YG champagne dial Roman numerals…love it. Got it from AD in 2017
Great vid Bruce👏🏻. That’s an amazing watch👍🏻
Warmest regards,
Hisham.
That watch is gorgeous. I keep thinking about it. Love it Bruce.
the perfect 3 pieces for me is a SD43, DJ, and full gold watch, gold Sub or the new gold GMT would be my choice
This particular Rolex is as beautiful looking today as it was 30 years ago and as it will be in 30 years time... its just timeless looking... Great video mate 👍

Love my dd. You can wear it with absoluely any thing, on any occasion. No matter the occasion this watch makes you feel like a boss. Luxury at its best !
Thanks for the knowledge!! What do you think about the Diamond baguette 2024 on the dial numbers? How about the Diamond bezel? Bling
who are you? LBJ!
Love the gold, but not quite entirely honest to compare it on bracelet to an Omega Speedy on a strap and in Moonshine gold
When you grow up and you’re finished playing with Rolex Tin-can Sport models; all roads lead back to the Day-date!
Loose the tin-can hype; there is nothing that provides the manly confidence on your wrist in the way the Rolex Day-date delivers.
Bruce - wear that in the best of health, and the worst of health. Enjoy 💪🏼🙏🏼⌚️
It’s beautiful,and my grail! my 2 two DJ 41 champagne dial fluted bezel on jube will have to do for now
This reminded me that there was actually a time when you could walk into a Rolex shop and buy a watch there 😊

Brilliant watch and video, Bruce. There are many good reasons why the Day Date is a grail watch for many, including myself. It is timeless, classic and elegant with a rich history. Enjoy yours!
It'd be interested to know how long you had to wait for this watch? Although I know you are a very regular customer at that AD 😅
Been waiting for this review! Sorry I missed you on Friday at Miller's. I had planned on coming, but unfortunately wasn't able to.
Again, just absolutely stunning. I hope you wear it every day and enjoy it for many, many years! I love it.

What a creative use of Wago’s for the Robot’s hands. 😂
Beautiful watch! I had a history teacher back in high school (He was also a rancher) who had a black dial with diamond indices Yellow gold Day-Date.

He has mentioned in other videos that he has a 7.25” wrist. Hope that helps.
Stunning!
40mm is a classic unbeatable size, this model is a classic, well done
A fine piece of jewellery that has great mechanics inside.
This is the “I made it Mom” watch, a true accomplishment !
lovely watch.. hard as a daily (depending where you live) i would be concernd in some areas...
Well, you don’t have to worry about getting too old for this watch….
Great analysis on the DD40. I have similar wrist size, how many links are on your DD? I took one link off and fits snug, but adding one might be loose.
Not too tall, not too top heavy, not too large, not too small…………it is simply perfect in every way! Enjoy it!

Pure class. You wear it very well. Congratulations!
Absolutely love this piece. It’s something to strive for that’s for sure. I think I would go all out and get the baguette dial too!
Is this the 40mm version?

Lovely just a pity,there's no easy link on that Presidential Bracelet 😢

Not a big fan of the Roman numerals. But a beautiful piece.
