    Excellent video. There's just one thing I'd like to metion. Rolex being elusive to a big chunk of watch lovers has kinda changed what people would likely pick. Its like if rhe AD calls and says I have a sub (date) and I wanted a no date version, chances are ill just take it because I'm not sure if ill get the one I want anytime in the near future. So my first Rolex was the SD 43, followed by the explorer 2 polar and I'm getting a GMT master II sprite tomorrow. I wanted a Batman but I picked the Sprite on the jubilee instead. But the video is spot on otherwise if people had to pick without being made to wait an eternity. Hoping I don't regret my decision of buying the sprite instead of the Batman. Thanks for the video!

August was a 2017 Datejust in white gold with a Rhodium dial and Jubilee bracelet. September was a 2023 Yachtmaster, October was a 2010 Polar White Explorer II (which was the one I went to buy to begin with back in June), and November was a 2008 Milgauss with a white dial ….

      That's is for me the biggest downside with Rolex and why I don't have one. Rolex make nice watches, but the brand and logo is so well known. Non watch people think straight away that you're doing very well in life (or that you are wearing a fake). Non watch people don't know about Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, A.Lange & Söhne and don't even recognize an Omega Speedmaster...they just think it's an old analogue watch and nothing special ;)

    I’ve got a no date sub and am looking for a second watch. Does the 39MM white dial OP fit for a dressy/weekend watch? The white Daytona is a grail but I can’t pull the trigger on that one just yet.

    • @Bisley1
      @Bisley1 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Personally I’d consider the white dial sportier, but presumably dressier than a Sub. It really depends on how dressy you want it to be. In the end it’s still a steel oyster bracelet watch and will be less dressy than a million other options on a leather strap. Still a nice watch though!

    • @thehonestwatchdealer
      @thehonestwatchdealer  Před 9 měsíci

      Yes I would say the OP range is more dressier than a Submariner, but the great thing about both these watches is they do great for all occasions!

    Thanks so much for your insight. I'm looking to buy my first Rolex as a daily wear and I'm deciding between a smooth Datejust with jubilee or oyster bracelet. Your assumption is a perfect match! Question though - does the Jubilee offer a wider range of bracelet fitment sizes due to the smaller link length? The only bad thing about my old Seamaster is the lack of micro adjust which is hell when my wrist swells, so I want my next watch to be comfortable.

    • @thehonestwatchdealer
      @thehonestwatchdealer  Před 9 měsíci +2

    For me, have been very selective as well as very lucky in the selection of my Rolex watches. My first one I got is a 2950's Date just Bubbleback with Red numbers. I liked it because of my interest in things that are (VINTAGE) different but understood by others as well as not as common as the rest that others will buy for themselves based more on trend than taste. My next one I got is a 5512 Submariner I bought at a Pawn Shop for what I thought back then in 1994 was a lot ($750.00), but as we all know, is highly collectable nowadays. I do have a contemporary GMT II Root Beer, again because I liked the look being different from so many others I see so often. For something more subtle I wear a 1940's 14K Bubbleback with a sub second hand in 14K Rose Gold. Again for me it's not about status, but the artistry and the craftsmanship that goes in to each of these pieces. Although I like the flashier Day-Date pieces along with the Daytona's, they just draw too much attention from others and that's not something I'm interested in. If you have the means get the one that fits YOU !

Im a Penn State alumni and yankee fan so a blue sky is my perfect watch.
