You have a very cool AD! I bought a bunch of watches from my AD and they won't give me the stickers, the shipping container or the outside box. They know me and know I won't flip them so your AD is awesome!
The 124300 has a "Twin Lock" system with 70 hours power reserve. Just short of 3 days. No issues swimming with it. (330 feet) it is a "Sports" watch. Just an FYI!
To have to buy something you don't need, love, require etc to get something you want is blackmail and the AD knows this. Yet we are sucummed to this so easily.
I still own and wear this watch. It is amazing. SInce I bought it for $6K, I have seen the price jump to as high as $30K and I wouldn't sell it, I should have!!! I see them sell for about $15K all the time. Still impressive. I am lucky to own it and I will keep this one. The only way I would consider trading it would be for a AP-ROO in red.
I'm not buy anything other than the watch I want. As far as I'm concerned, Omega or IWC can have my money before I buy a bracelet to grease up an AD for a Rolex. If more people had this attitude watch dealers wouldn't be able to pull blackmail like this. That is a gorgeous watch however, looks good on you
They don't need more than 1 million people in world of 7.3 Billion. take 10% of that number and you have 730 million. Take 10% of that and you have 73 million. So they need 1.36% of the world's 1%ers.
Now when a rolex owners sees another rolex owner on the street, they’ll know they’re both chumps. I thought this whole ‘shortage’ was meant to boost the image of Rolex.
recently got my milgauss from an ad,but i didnt have a customer relationship before with the ad. after only 3 months waiting i got a call, guess i was just really lucky :D
To me it looks as orange as orange can get. Nice watch tho. Congrats Btw it’s a twinlock crown. Good to a solid 100m. Swimming is zero problem in this watch.
Always admire the Rolex at our local (Uk) jeweller. Never seen a red one. I like that a lot, I’d love one when life doesn’t get in the way... hope you enjoy 👍
Over the last 3 years I have done several watch reviews and videos and people always complain that I am rough with the watch, that I bang them around and mishandle them. These must be people who have never owned or worn one of these watches. The Rolex sport models are virtually indestructable. If you have a polished dress watch, you are more careful with it only because you don't want to scratch the polish on it. However, the all stainless models that do not have the polished center links, can be treated as badly as you want. You can wack them on door knobs, lay on the ground and scratch them on the concrete, you can take it off and toss it on the table. You can put it in your pocket with your keys. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BREAK IT. If you were to slam it on the concrete, you could break the crystal or crack a ruby inside, which has happened to one of my Subs and I had to replace the pallet fork. I wore the same Rolex 2-tone Submariner for 15 years straight, it was a 1990 model I bought in 2004. I wore this watch daily as a car mechanic and fabricator. Every once in a while I would re-polish it myself on a buffing wheel, but then I started doing a satin brush finish on it using a purple Scotch-Brite. Yes, that's right, I did in the sink. I get constant compliments on the finish. When it gets scratched up, about every 6 months, I re-polish it. I don't give a shit about it's value and sellability and originality, I am not selling it and if I do, I don't care, so please save me the speech, I don't care.
I've been wanting a new OP 41. Like you, I will be a first time (new from Dealer) Rolex buyer. I was under the impression (mistakenly I guess) that these were actually attainable without too much hassle.
You can walk into just about any AD and put down a deposit for an OP 36 or 41. It might take you 4-12 weeks to get one but you dont need to pay the ridiculous markup from gray market nor do you have to spend on other watches to get one brand new from AD. I can understand scarce sports models but if an AD wants you to buy other watch brands just step up to Rolex, walk away immediately and go to the next AD.
If I had to step up and buy other luxury priced items to get into an entry level Rolex, it means i have money to splurge. Which in turn means I'd walk out of Rolex and and go to AD to get me a Vacheron Constantine watch
Fantastic showcasing the watch.... It is though double lock... underline of the crown means that. Oyster P. also indicates waterproofness.... you can do all watersports of your choice with the crown fully tightened ! I have decided to order the Coral, second choice Light blue... then Yellow ; )
I went an AD in my area, and told the sales person that I will buy such and such watches if she can get me a Rolex sport. She just looked at me and said " I wish it could be that simple", and never took the deal. What happened here? Can someone tell me?
I have an Orient Mako II that has an orange face on it, it cost around 300 bucks, its certainly no Rolex, but I have people stop me to look at it and compliment it all the time.
@7.59 there *is* a Crown etching in the Sapphire Crystal, all Rolex (post 2003) have it now. It might be hard to see with the naked eye, but with a loupe and at the right angle, it'll be visible...
this is a watch made to wear in the deep salt sea, into space, while flying a plane, while in the military as a Navy Seal, wearing it around the house isn't going to do shit to it.
Awesome watch Bob, im just getting into luxury watches myself. Speaking of Paul, do you ever plan on getting a "Man On the F%CKING MOON watch? lol. Because of him, I pulled the trigger on one, I really like it and its history.
Be nice if they would have left the stickers on. Maybe if you bought 3 other pieces of jewelry they would have left stickers on .With stickers in Dealer plastic case that watch would easily fetch 11.000
It has a 70hr reserve not 48hr and you can absolutely swim with an OP
You can absolutely swim with the OP....
Exactly
I wanted a watch, not a relationship. Sorry, Rolex.
makes sense they'd look after customers rather than nobody who might flip it
You have a very cool AD! I bought a bunch of watches from my AD and they won't give me the stickers, the shipping container or the outside box. They know me and know I won't flip them so your AD is awesome!

Sorry, but having to suck up to an AD simply isn’t worth it to me. Plenty of other (available) watches. But to each their own.
I've owned a Oyster Perpetual with textured dial 34MM, smooth bezel, and raised white gold name. Cool classic design entry level indeed.
I still own and wear this watch. It is amazing. SInce I bought it for $6K, I have seen the price jump to as high as $30K and I wouldn't sell it, I should have!!!
I see them sell for about $15K all the time. Still impressive. I am lucky to own it and I will keep this one.

Nice to see you give Paul thorp a mention from across the pond.
Watching from wales Uk 👍🏻🏴
It’s water resistant to 100 meters. Perfectly safe for swimming with.
Exactly
Water PROOF not resistant on these models
Press center of clasp to close, that allows flexy bit to flex. Congrats it’s beautiful.
Finally someone said it, it’s a entry level Rolex. They will be widely available overtime
Meanwhile in November 2021....

I'm so proud to see you achieving a lot of your life goals! Well done mate!
i'd get this dial in a heartbeat. if not available then the yellow would be my second choice.
congratulations.. wear it in good health.
Good vid on Rolex. I personally really like Omega. I don't have a lot of bread but I am happy to own my 1970's vintage Omega Seamaster.
To me it looks as orange as orange can get.
Nice watch tho. Congrats
Btw it’s a twinlock crown. Good to a solid 100m. Swimming is zero problem in this watch.
you could absolutely go in the water with that watch

Love the watch congrats!!!!
Enjoyed the video! You are 100% correct on the Rolex AD relationship.

I totally would buy that bracelet or whatever to get that thing!
Congratulations! Great choice! :)
Beautiful watch, congrats my friend 👏
Never saw the coral/red now I can't resist!
Worth every dime one on my wrist right now.
Great timepiece! That dial is killer!
Great score. Feels good to get your Rolex at retail. More wrist shots my man! Thats a cool peice.
Awesome! Happy for you man. 👍
I've been wanting a new OP 41. Like you, I will be a first time (new from Dealer) Rolex buyer. I was under the impression (mistakenly I guess) that these were actually attainable without too much hassle.
Enjoy your new watch!! Looks great! Very funky colour!
Nice watch.. congratulations, I'd like to get my hands on the turquoise one personally that red one is definitely nice
Cool watch.
I just picked up a datejust 41 from my AD.
You didn’t want the Daytona??? OMG
It is water resistant to 100m, you can easily go in the water with it ;)
Water PROOF not resistant on these models
Sounds like the late 80's VW GTI colour Mars Red. Depending on the light it was orange-y or red-ish. Was a great colour for that car.
i was keep looking at your bracelet .look's great .
Absolutely beautiful colour,I like this coral red on my warm skin tone is really pop.

I didn't know one has to have relationship with AD, to buy a Rolex. I think I would walk away to another AD or move on to another brand.
Exactly. Takes a bit to get one but...having to buy something else to get it is lame and not the norm.
That is beautiful. Congratulations, and good luck with the move.
Beautiful OP red 💯 , huge mistake selling the Daytona. u most be almost blind...
Fantastic showcasing the watch....
It is though double lock... underline of the crown means that.
Oyster P. also indicates waterproofness.... you can do all watersports of your choice with the crown fully tightened !
I have decided to order the Coral, second choice Light blue... then Yellow ; )
Congrats. I just picked mine up today.
About to get my first Rolex for myself for my 27th thought I’d watch some of these old videos
Check out *Paul Pluta* and *Watchbox* for good reviews...
Woah, nice color!
I went an AD in my area, and told the sales person that I will buy such and such watches if she can get me a Rolex sport. She just looked at me and said " I wish it could be that simple", and never took the deal. What happened here? Can someone tell me?
oh wow, fantastic video, thanks for posting
We love u bob Vegas will be a blast!!
The replicas also come with that service box
Awesome collection man! 🤘😎🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video, thanks!
Actually the hands and Indices are White Gold....so very small amount of precious metal.
Congrats! Great choice. Red is your color
i wish i could get into watches.... but definitely pretty!!!
I'm picking mine up tomorrow. I also wear a david yurman bracelet
I have an Orient Mako II that has an orange face on it, it cost around 300 bucks, its certainly no Rolex, but I have people stop me to look at it and compliment it all the time.
Love it, live it .. congrats!
Congrats Bobby...👍🙌 enjoy it
Great taste congratulations!
Awesome. Congratulations
Love your videos
Nice watch and all, but sounds like by building relationship, there will be more purchases coming up Bob
@7.59 there *is* a Crown etching in the Sapphire Crystal, all Rolex (post 2003) have it now.
It might be hard to see with the naked eye, but with a loupe and at the right angle, it'll be visible...
They fake that too and it's never perfect.
Lol all I had to do was watch 2 seconds before commenting! Nice score! These babies are selling for 11500!
i only buy the oyster perpetuals. idgaf what ppl think. theyre great fckn watches
@Lookie Here yeah! To style n profile. Match the gear baby!
2 years later, how are you enjoying the watch?
Hi, I got that same color 2 days ago, after waitlist 4 months😍😍
amazing watch!
Nice color 👍
I do supermarket refrigeration, wear a sub every day. Don’t get folks who are afraid to wear the heck out of them!
this is a watch made to wear in the deep salt sea, into space, while flying a plane, while in the military as a Navy Seal, wearing it around the house isn't going to do shit to it.
600$ useless bracelet to have the "chance"buy a 5900$ watch. What a time to be alive.
Bracelet is nice. Did you have to buy anything else with it
That's a really gorgopis watch.
Congratulations 🤜💥🤛 🐭
Nick name: The "Tomato" Ha ha
Good on ya, congrats.
Oooooooooooooooooohhhh shiny. I like it.
70 hour, almost 3 day reserve\
Very nice!
Lucky Bob
dude i found this waqtch thaqnk you God!
Very good video.
Congrats
Sharp!
Lol I know you know the Uk well Bob... but ‘suspenders’ are a different thing over here 😂😉😗
No matter what country I am in, they hold my pants up.
So the marketing strategy is....you can't buy this watch.
Sorry but the way Rolex does business is trash. I will never own a Rolex buy choice.
Nice! I’m out here in ep, tx. Just put my name down for the green one
Awesome watch Bob, im just getting into luxury watches myself. Speaking of Paul, do you ever plan on getting a "Man On the F%CKING MOON watch? lol. Because of him, I pulled the trigger on one, I really like it and its history.
Im not going to comment "first"! Great Video!
Was ist price
I hope you paid retail for this and not $11500
That's Orange
not
yes it is
@@roybatty6368 I have one on my wrist and it is RED
Hi Bob, you should wear the watch with good health.
Be nice if they would have left the stickers on. Maybe if you bought 3 other pieces of jewelry they would have left stickers on .With stickers in Dealer plastic case that watch would easily fetch 11.000
I like the colors on these. But the AD games? I'm just an average guy. Tudor is the new Rolex for the blue collar person.
Back in the day I could get an OP for 900 to 1200 .
Let’s see the dial in some sunlight!
