i prefer those black hour markers over the newer reference (white) on the Pikachu
A lot of clients feel the same way you do mate, argue it's lost a lot of character in the newer reference! Still a stunning model and incredibly refined! 💯
Mate, I think you ought to “deep-dive” reviews on each of these pieces and their prior versions on your channel. But instead of just talking about watch trends, maybe you can also do a deeper dive on the history behind it. Head to head comparisons like these are epic as well! Thank you for this video because I’ve been struggling to find a video that can compare all of the oyster flex black dials, like the black-dial ghost; Paul Newman, and the rose gold black dial. Also, when you shoot, can you take longer to show the faces of the watch? As usual, keep up the fantastic work and the superb video quality ❤
Great suggestion mate, I’ll speak to the team and see what we can do! 👍🏻
Thanks so much for the support and glad to hear you’re enjoying the content, I really appreciate it 🙌🏻💯
What an absolute pleasure to see it in person. Pikachu is STUNNING. I like the current reference much more balanced than the new one.
Amazing I agree 🙌🏼
For me, the oysterflex Daytona rose gold choco dial (discontinued) is the best !
Oh yes that’s an absolutely stunning watch 👌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer between the choco dial rosegold and the ghost ? what do you think ?
Good stuff Charlie. In the future would you be able to do a video on the Pepsi GMT & comparison between the Jubilee & Oyster, demand for which model more & which one you’d go for etc please. Cheers.
Your welcome mate. Sure we can schedule that one in for you. We currently have two Pepsi’s in stock at the moment but both jubilee. We will get one in soon I’m sure and will do a review for you.
All the best
Charlie 👍🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer That would be awesome mate, thank you & keep up the great work with the videos 👍🏻
@@unclejonga sure my pleasure and keep watching thank you 🎥🍿
5 Days ago, I got a call from my AD and it was the Pikachu watch. I always liked the Sky Dweller's but now after wearing it, I've changed my mind. Absolutely Amazing watch.....Thanks for your Video
Congratulations mate, really stunning watch, one of the best! Enjoy it 🙏
Thanks@@thehonestwatchdealer
The ghost is gorgeous also!
Absolutely, stunning watch 👌🏻
Like this one also. I visited the AD in my town and discussed this model. I wasn’t sure about the dial and he told me to think about it then return and tell him so he could put me on the list. I’m not really sure which I like the most. I think I will go for the matte black, what do you think?
Ah yes the Paul Newman is incredible! Excellent choice 👌🏻
Hi mate great videos. I’m considering between these 2 watches. I know you love the pikachu, but which will you recommend to buy to wear and also as an investment (if possible). Thank you
Thanks for watching Aaron, investment wise
The Pikachu might just have the slight edge. Both incredible options though 👌🏻
To think the Ghost Oysterflex was a window watch only 5 years ago. Was on holiday in Thailand and had a chance to purchase one for £23k...
Crazy isn’t it.. I remember selling a Pikachu a few years ago for £25k brand new 😯
Hey , rolex daytona rose gold, daytona Pikachu, daytona ghost. Which one is best
Got to be the Pikachu! 👌
1. Ghost
2. P.N
3. Picc
I bought an everrose gold diamond baguette sundust dial 2022 new daytona with box and papers for $55,350 (retail was 46700 in 2022), how much is that model going for now in 2023 grey market?
Firstly that a very nice watch you have bought 👌🏻 price wise in the UK this was has a market value of around £45-£50k
what about the platinum icy blue 126506 with the crystal caseback? Is that now the most sort after?
Will be interesting to see how many hit the market and what price they are
@@thehonestwatchdealer Called my NYC AD and they are not even taking reservations for the 2023 Daytonas period
Hi, how would you rate the new Black dial with Black subdials, compared with the other ones? I am asking value wise
Hi Thomas thanks for your comment. I have to say all the Oysterflex models are stunning but the plain black dial is one of the least popular/valuable dials in the range. Still a lovely watch tho 🙌🏼
Hi, Thank you very much for answering. That helps me a lot. Keep up the good work with these videos. Very good information here.
I have now ordered this one. Thank you very much for advise. Actually i only ordered this watch after falling in love with it after seeing this video
@@thomasandreasen9391 that is amazing Thomas 🤩 so pleased for you. You will love it 🙌🏼
Just got the call from the AD today to collect my new Paul Newman, super excited. Great video Charlie, the best review I've seen for it on youtube. Very informative. You've earned a new subscriber !
You say you have only had 2 Pikachu's in 8 years, how many Paul Newman's have you had in the same time frame ?
Congratulations AJ that’s a great pickup for you. You will absolutely love it 😍 one of my all time favourites. I’ve only had 3 Paul Newman so just as rare 🏆
Thank you for your kind words and of course subscribing to my channel 👌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer Thanks for the reply buddy keep up the good work
@@ronaldJ262 my pleasure 👊🏻
How about the Ghost?
Hi Charlie
Could you rate the 116515 dials? And which is your favorite😊”
Sorry.. i Can see you already answered this. But is the sundust dial with Black subdials popular also?
Sure no problem at all. I have to say selling wise the sundust with the black sub-dials is one of the least popular in the range ( not that it’s not a lovely watch ) Rolex do a sundust baguette diamond dial in the rose gold model and that is stunning 🔥🙌🏼🚀
Great video Charlie, very nice comparison. How would you rate the Oysterflex Daytona rose gold? Which dial color is the most popular or more valuable?
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 👌🏻
Yes they are a stunning model too. The most popular is the chocolate baton dial followed by the black. They also do an amazing rose baguette diamond dial and black diamond dial, these are the most valuable ones.
Hope this helps 😃
Thanks for answering 👊
I'm quoted as of yesterday a 1-4 month wait at my AD for one of these, or potentially a meteorite version as well. Fingers crossed for what they offer!
Very nice Sam, that’s a very short lead time for a hard to get model.
Keep me updated when you get it and the dial combination you have bought 🤞🏻
In US? Unless you have 150K plus history
@@varunparkash9007 Nope, I'm right at 52k history. Gold Santos, Batgirl GMT, Tudor Chrono Panda. I've also referred a couple of buyers so that helps. Maybe 150k in LA or NYC.
@@samsharma9207 Ok with 55k history in NY, they don't care
@@varunparkash9007 Glad I'm not in NYC. If I buy this daytona, that'll be 3 Rolexes at retail within 1 year and 1 month and will pretty much round out my Rolex buying for a long time. Got a TT Seadweller at my old AD for Xmas 2021.
Hi Charlie love your work! Can u advise in between the panda & 126518LN -0012 which one is worth getting at present market formAD?
Wow! That's a really tough choice to make! If you're buying to wear I'd obviously advise the 126518ln Pikachu, as that's my daily and it brings me enjoyment wearing it every single day no matter what! However, if you're looking to sell you'd make more profit from the 126500LN Panda 🙌
Hope this helps mate 👍
@@thehonestwatchdealer thank you so much for every time u answer my questions promptly & sincerely
Paul Newman and Ghost very solid
Absolutely, incredible models 👌🏻
What happened to the beautiful rose gold chocolate baton dial version ??
Still such a great model, however not as popular as the Ghost, Pikachu or Paul Newman at the moment.
Huge advantage to white gold. It looks like a stainless, lessening the theft issue for those you can’t carry weapons.
💯agree 👍🏻
Great vid Charlie. The Black dial is top of my want list at the moment.
Thank you mate 🙌🏼 So nice isn’t it 🏆 There’s some great deals to be had on these at the minute .. let me know I can help you 👌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer Thanks mate, when I am ready to pull the trigger, I'll give you a shout.
@@Greggieboy76 I’m here when your ready mate, take care 🙌🏼
Just got the call from my AD to confirm they have a pikachu for me ... can't
Believe it !
@@glynmatthews678 wow !!! Congratulations 👏🏻😜 Enjoy 🙌🏼
Great video. I prefer a black dial, because chronograph watches dial should be mat black for keeping off sun reflection for car races.
Thank you 🙌🏼 that’s a really good point actually… thanks 👊🏻😎
Just have both
100 %
I hate that they took away that red seconds hand on that latest one.
Lots of our clients feel the same, arguably lost a lot of its character! The new reference is still undeniably stunning regardless 👌🏻💯
Just got my Rolex Daytona Pikachu watch today! Absolutely insane. I can't take it off and your review is spot on
Congratulations mate! Absolutely fantastic watch, one of the hottest there is at the moment! Enjoy it 🙌
As an owner of the solid gold version of this watch, I must say the rubber variation is very appealing to the eye!
Now the full on gold does get more attention but sometimes you can't even wear the watch because of safety reasons
Mine only comes out the safe for special occasions
A well made video like always !❤
Absolutely spot on - so comfortable to wear too!
The fully bracelet models are definitely very eye catching.
Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it! 🙏
To me the one of the best reasons for the rubber band is you can wear it as it daily and not have to worry about all the scratches.
Excellent outlook! So comfortable too 👌🏻
Great video. Would love to see a similar comparison of the rosegold oysterflex dial options.
Thanks Frank glad you enjoyed it. When we have a couple in stock we will do a video on them 👌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer would love to hear this comparison of rose gold oyster flex options too! Thanks, this was a great video!
love that Pikachu What a watch. Great review Want one
Lovely stunning watches mate, thank you for doing this video, it’s good to see the comparison.
Thank you as always Paul, glad you enjoyed it 😃🙌🏼
@@thehonestwatchdealer
All the best Charlie 👍🏻
@@paullewis266 you too mate 👊🏻
i noticed, the "paul newman" dial has been dropping in price lately
They have a little, seem to have stabilised for now
@@thehonestwatchdealer Thanks
This is not for me, I prefer the Paul Newman version sold at auction by Phillips. It's wishful dreaming, but it does say a lot about how a brand shifted from a quality steel toolwatch to obnoxious luxury showoff bling and, the target market changed too. China is the objective indeed.
pikachu or rosegold chocolate dial for me!
Excellent choices 👌🏻
Did they discontinue these watches? I read somewhere Pikachu and Ghost were discontinued.
Great video
Thank you mate, really appreciate it! 🙏
I have 2 questions ,
1. is the rolex 116523 a collector item?
2. is it advisable to change the gold steel bracelet of 116523 to rubber strap?
I would say the Daytona range are highly collectible watches yes.
And you won’t be able to swap for an OysterFlex, however you could use a 3rd party Rubber strap such as Rubber-B.
It would all be down to your preference!
The Paul Newman is a 4 figure reference and has the Art Deco dial. None of these are a Paul Newman. Calling it that is just hype and naive.
I have a couple of 16518s and by far my favorite is the black dial but IMHO the ring/donut dials aren’t nearly as cool as the reverse panda on your desk.
Charlie....do I recognise that Pikachu??? ;-)
Stunning watch isn't 😉
The meteorite dial beats them both. Simple😁
No question there! Incredible dial 🤩
Pikachu is more analogous to the Panda ...
Newman > All others
Great choice 👌🏻
These idiotic Nick names.
Don’t he go on
No he doesnt.hes just very knowledgeable.
@@russellcarlton-zn9cy 😂
Discontinued 2023
Wrong, they are available, check website
@@varunparkash9007 😂😂😂 but not after end of march you pro
@@rotzloffel4436 got any sources these will be discontinued?
@@sebastianparis1901 if not I would not write it
Which one will be discontinued? Or just all Daytona on Oysterflex?
