Rolex and the department of the Science of materials of the EPFL have been working for decades on innovation. No surprise they could achieve such quiet mastering of stability. The paradox is, of course, that organic materials are less used. So instability which we call patina is getting rarer and more sought after.
This is a cool video. You could also take most of these 'arguments'/points and apply them to independent watches over 'mass produced' high end watches like modern Rolexs
Fantastic video again Jasper! I totally agree with your statement 'If you don't appreciate Rolex, you don't know anything about watches'. I believe that there are 2 major brands you simply cannot dislike if you like watches (at least in my opinion). Rolex, and Seiko.🙌🏻🔥
I must be in the minority who love vintage Rolexes much more than new , however when it comes to vintage against vintage from other major brands then it's very difficult to put Rolex as number 1 by any measure.
Im sorry but can you please elaborate. Vintage Rolex are generally superior by almost every measurement VS other brands from the same era. Especially back in the days Rolex was way ahead.
@jasperkov I don't know how to put it but vintage Rolex as good as they were for me never found them interesting enough same like a Porsche 911 while nice enough yet still very expected , a vintage Patek , Vacheron even IWC , Cartier , Audemars , Omega can look more exciting or as exciting to me at least, vintage Rolex sports as a tool watch was very ordinary compared to other brands at the time and modern ones aren't the best in terms of luxury and horological significance so for me they can't be considered as number one but more of a well marketed brand that happens to appeal to a bigger audience especially from a price to quality to perception ratio.
@@mahmoudghoneim8004 hi, thanks for clarifying. You do understand that they made way more models besides their toolwatches right? They have a pretty impressive portfolio of elegant dresswatches and even couple complicated ones like the split-second, triple calendar chronograph and calendar with moonphase etc. They carried an extremely diverse range of models back in the days.
Major trolling with the sip from the coconut 😂. Love your channel. I also happen to agree with you. I love vintage Rolex. I find the modern examples, while certainly well made, to be wholly uninteresting.
I like many Yachtmasters (obviously not the hideous YM2), but the 116622 and precious metal variants + titanium, most Daytona’s (especially the elaborate gemset ones & the Oysterflex). I very much dislike the maxi cases and not a big fan of the cerachrome bezel
i would never hate on the KOV, Big man is speaking fax Vintage is way better than new Compare the Vintage sub to a new sub - its like comparing a Lamborghini Diablo (Vintage Watch) to a Toyota Prius (New Watch) Vintage watches have a Character, a history, a persona old watches have a charm to themselves also have you ever worn a new Rolex on your wrist and then worn a Vintage Rolex on your wrist the day after. Its just different, i really cant put it in words...
@@jasperkovdepends if you have a true vintage Rolex and want to keep it as orginal as possible: no, if you buy a neo-vintage and want to have if running well: yes. I have what I consider a neo vintage 18238 and I didn’t mind having some parts replaced. Groetjes ;)
You could also say there are way to view great Rolexes for most collectors to make this an interesting hobby. Current Rolexes maybe the current 1950-1970 collective omega collectors group
There seems to be a dichotomy in your statement, vintage watches tend to be more delicate, more difficult to service due to unavailability of parts, more riskier of inappropriate alterations, inability to use daily etc..., it's hard to think of them as everyday watches. Modern day Rolex pieces are more accurate, tougher, more reliable etc... difficult choice, that is why I have both...

I wish Rolex would bring back stone dial day dates with no numerals. A modern take on the bloodstone dial in white gold would be awesome.
i agree
Super cool location.. I am a plane geek as much a watch geek! Agreed on Rolex and yes, vintage is the only way to go!
Jasper, you are not only the King of Vintage, but also of watch content.
Vintage is king ! Just bought a 66 Bart Simpson with a dial that looks like it went into a fire ! Love it.
The rare kind of watch video - the intellectual kind. This was a great essay and love letter to vintage rolex. Well done Jasper.

Jasper back at it, KOV forever!!
Go on, dip that rolex in the jacuzy 🤣🤣🤣
Haha hope to see you soon buddy!

Exactly. I have a vintage watch and I worry about washing my hands. I just don't wear it anymore.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best watch channel on YT.

King is back with Right topic in the right time. Agree on everything you said 🙏🏽👑
As a vintage watch collector, I admire your classy videos. Keep it up 👍👌👏
Hey Jasper, which modern Rolex watches you do like?
I like many Yachtmasters (obviously not the hideous YM2), but the 116622 and precious metal variants + titanium, most Daytona’s (especially the elaborate gemset ones & the Oysterflex). I very much dislike the maxi cases and not a big fan of the cerachrome bezel
Great vid 💚 Rolex is 👑 .

Agree and great subjective vid. Always high quality Jasper!
Jasper you’re the man! Love the style of your videos !
That Daytona is beautiful, but servicing vintage is too difficult and expensive.
Thanks. But as said in the video, servicing vintage Rolex isn’t difficult nor expensive.
Any RSC will service your vintage or neo-vintage Rolex.
@@dgennez DO NOT bring a vintage Rolex to an RSC ☠️

its the same with everything, furniture, guns, cars. There was so much more variety and craftsmanship back then
Dude. This video is hilarious. Great info and thoughts, but hilarious.
I absolutely love your content. Ignore the haters and keep up the amazing work ❤
Valuable and beautiful information from a wonderful and expert person. ❤

Sorry, I dont understand what you are trying to say. Could you perhaps explain?
I laugh when I see Rolex haters because I know they’ll soon come back around to appreciating it. The Rolex curve is a real thing.
Great production quality on the video, loved it!
I’ll buy.
Where did they stick the auto cue when you were hanging in that net?
No auto cue
@@jasperkov wow then your performance is true greatness. Just like your business
Again a nice one Jasper!
Jasper my man 🖤👊🏼🫶🏼
Vintage rules
"Rolex makes bad watches."
- no one ever
They do. All hype and most of the lumnuts fall for it.
@@pkplayer358 Hyped? Absolutely. Bad quality watches? Absolutely not. Lumnuts? You.
Hope you wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow morning :)
bro where u get that baggy shirt fit is lit
Thanks. At a local market in Bali :)

Great Video 👏🏻 Great Message 👏🏻
Rolex is no 1.... at marketing.

gonna need a collab with mike nouveau boss
Please turn of your background music from your videos. Love your content but the music makes me crazy.
A video without watches is not satisfying.....
