Rolex lied, none of their watches made it to the summit of Everest(They wore Smiths). They didn't produce the first automatic watch(Harwood did...Hans Wilsdorf finally made a public apology to Harwood 30 years later).. They didn't produce the first waterproof watch either(There were several before them) and the woman didn't complete the swim across the channel either.
Prior to the 369 dial Explorer that we all know and love today, the Explorer marked dials were in a standard Oyster case with standard hour indexes and standard hands and was primarily only offered in the Canadian market, decades before the 5700 reference. They do pop up from time to time and besides prime examples with waffle dials and the occasional 36912 dial, Unfortunately most sell for very little money due to their dull and boring styling and small size.
The original Abercrombie was a department store in the 40’s near Grand Central Station in NYC that specialized in rugged outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing and even extreme exploration. It did carry clothing and other items (for men only, I believe) and was considered to be a very high end supplier of these items. It does not surprise me that they carried their own version of Rolex. Bob Lee’s Hunting World was a nearby competitor and specialized in hunting safari outfitting and, it too, carried its own branded watches.
More obscure watches should be appreciated by the watch community, theres beauty in the unheard and unseen after all! Thats why i find vintage watches so appealing
With a vintage watch you know you have a piece you can talk about without having the same story as every other nouveau riche 😂 besides they tend to be more beautiful, especially if they have signs of being used.
Great video Nico, just a question, isn’t the last REF in your video named the Rolex Texan which also is in the Rolex Quartz line? All respect and love.
very cool watch (best parts of a sub's utility + datejust wearability!) but as they made these clear through the early 2000s (6 digit references exist) I'm not sure it will qualify as an unknown reference!
I'm just happy to have my first two Rolex ever but one doesn't work that being a cellini and the one that dose work is a old but nice 18k Rolex chameleon.
The Texano is so so rare... and i only knew about it earlier this year.. very unique n this is my fave on this video... there are few more rare Rolex models which are not mentioned on this video, lets wait for the next one..cant wait..😅🫡🤗
The RUclipsr,London watch collecter has some unique/rare rolex he hasn't revealed it but always say it'll blow your mind please react to it whenever he reveals it
I wish you could do (if you have not yet) a breakdown of criteria what makes a watch amazing/bollocks. For example Rolex is well known around the world, yet they seem to be cheaper than Richard Mille ones, the latter being less known.
That could be supply. Rolex is more mass production. Less watches in the market tend to drive prices up. Especially if there is brilliant marketing behind it. And RM marketing is even better than Rolex.
Did I now about the: Air Explorer: Yes Air Lion: Yes Air Giant: Yes Air Tiger: No Commando: No Tru-Beat: Yes.This is not a hard to have heard about watch. Find, yes but not to have heard of. 5100: No. Also for the children... Before A&F moved into malls across America and started selling jeans and cologne. They were known as an ACTUAL outfitter. It was working and exploring wear. Not hanging out with your hands on your hips wear.
Hi Nico! There's a Tru Beat for sale on Chrono 24 now, it costs EUR 24k without papers nor boxes. Would you consider it as an investment even like that?
For your next list, Rolex 1831 known as The King of Day Dates. This watches were made in 1970s by special order of Shah of Iran. Only 9 of em ever made, all were made with platinum and the watch weight is 290 grams, i believe this is the heaviest rolex ever, beautiful watch, search about it
Nico, what are your thoughts on the Everose Day-Date with the chocolate dial and baguette rubies (118135)? It's not quite a "grail" piece for me, but it's up there.
Well, it's ambiguous if a Rolex ever made it atop Everest in 1953 and it's likely that Hillary and Tenzing Norgay only wore Smiths watches when they reached the summit.
next talk about rolex dream ocean. Use by navy of ww 2 to search and rescue and later adopted by pilot and geologist to locate mummies also dream ocean 2 pro use by explorer to hunt sea lion and penguin. note that it is extremely very very rare to found, with only 12 ever made, with 10 of them explode because of over used and over exposed to gamma x ray if in good condition can reach about 150,000 or more.
Careful with those tru-beats.Those dead beat movements were very difficult to service, so they were often replaced with more standard OP movements. Hard to find and still hard to service. And almost no one wants a 34 mm watch. Cool in photos, but unless you are curating a museum, this is a pass…
Imagine paying $35k for a quartz watch that looks like a shitty Rolex knockoff, everyime someone sees it you have to tell them "Nah man I swear it's a real Rolex" 😂
nico will never fail to remind me how oblivious he is to the world. This is a grown man who doesnt know what abercrombie and fitch is. nico for real for real lives under a rock. Its the same thing when he does celebrity watch reviews he never knows the film or the actor that he is reviewing.
before watching: king midas, bubbleback, that dual time cellini with the clear caseback, that texas beta-21 superquartz megafucker one, and idk maybe a pocket watch or the original seadweller prototype thing with the giant crystal edit: well i got the 5100 anyway, adding that he'll probably tell us about the datejust "rarebird" (1530?)-an automatic datejust in an oysterquartz case

Fun fact: the name originally was 'eve rest'.
Someone sounds bitter 😂
@@muds1123 Bitter about what?
@@muds1123someone sounds dull..
Why are so many watch folks so angry, it's a freaking hobby not brain surgery
Thumbs up if you think Nico should be doing more videos like this one! Let's show Nico what content we actually want.

You might not known that for a short period Rolex was sold at cartier stores, so there are examples of cartier stamped Rolex watches

That’s awesome knowledge! Nice
Commando looks badass but i like the red second hand on the other i love that on watches.
More obscure watches should be appreciated by the watch community, theres beauty in the unheard and unseen after all! Thats why i find vintage watches so appealing

The green-hand Rolex Turn-o-Graph needs to be in part 2!

Great video Nico, just a question, isn’t the last REF in your video named the Rolex Texan which also is in the Rolex Quartz line? All respect and love.
BRING BACK THE REACTION VIDEOS PLEASEEEE
3 of the past 5 videos have been reactions. Where have you been?
@@JesseBusseyeah but they were dead ngl
Lovely Tudor Pelagos on the wrist Nico, couldn't stop looking at it 😻
This is amazing! Not into vintage but I really want a explorer-date now :/
I hope the next video will feature the Rolex Thunderbird Turn-o-graph. One of the few affordable and very cool vintage Rolex watches.
A vintage Daytona is cool too.
not affordable but yea@@PapriceP
very cool watch (best parts of a sub's utility + datejust wearability!) but as they made these clear through the early 2000s (6 digit references exist) I'm not sure it will qualify as an unknown reference!
The editor deserves a raise

Rolex Quartz is actually being refer in A Man And His Watch. As the quote from the book said, it got sold out as soon as it was announced.
That watch has a very nice mechanism… i just love the way it ticks….
I have a Quartz Rolex all Gold been very happy with it for going on 30+years 😊
I thought Hillary wore a Smiths watch?
Both
You mean crooked Hillary?
I’m pretty sure he wore the smiths but had the Rolex in his backpack as he was sponsored by Rolex.
But wore the smiths because he liked it lol

BEST INTRO ON RUclips
Nico, what are your thoughts on the Everose Day-Date with the chocolate dial and baguette rubies (118135)? It's not quite a "grail" piece for me, but it's up there.
Could you help me with a watch it’s a Bulova accutron 1970’s but I don’t know the model 😩😩
I have heard and seen most of them , You didn’t mention the Oyster Speed King 😆
The only one I've heard of is the 5100, also known as The Texan. You should do 1940s refs, like the Bubble Back..
Rolex quartz is fire!

have you ever heard of the Rolex Cellini?
next talk about rolex dream ocean. Use by navy of ww 2 to search and rescue and later adopted by pilot and geologist to locate mummies also dream ocean 2 pro use by explorer to hunt sea lion and penguin. note that it is extremely very very rare to found, with only 12 ever made, with 10 of them explode because of over used and over exposed to gamma x ray if in good condition can reach about 150,000 or more.
I know a watch that no one has ever heard of:
The “last one a promise” watch
The coolest watches no one has heard of would be old crab watches.
Careful with those tru-beats.Those dead beat movements were very difficult to service, so they were often replaced with more standard OP movements. Hard to find and still hard to service. And almost no one wants a 34 mm watch. Cool in photos, but unless you are curating a museum, this is a pass…
