Remind me to watch this video again when i graduate and get a job
Add this baby to watch later.
Teddy Baldassarre I’d say maybe start your research now though...
"my wrist watch is augmented"
@@faisalingalong i got a casio A158wr and a seiko skx009 i think thats a good starting point. Im looking to get cheaper watches for now maybe a seiko 5 or an orient bambino. Leave my skx as the main prize watch
@MrLolmaster101 already got a 158 but if you are saying that a rolex or an omega are the same as a digital casio you got to be trippin.
When I get my next Christmas bonus my wife and I both said I could get an affordable Rolex... we will see if that actually happens when the time comes
Did you end up getting one mate?
Any update?
So what you get???
@@juan873212 he bought Casio. He is my neighbour
No update means he didn't get one
Great first collaboration with Bobs watches.
I hope you’re able to do more vids along this line, but with varying brands. Very informative as always.
Cheers!
Thank you, my friend. They offer quite a bit of brands so plenty to work with on my end to create great content.
The current Oyster Perpetual is a great looking and elegant watch.
Agreed. The white dial with the stick indices is a stunner.
Agreed ,I like the 36mm blue face explorer dial 😊
The date just will always have a special place as it was my first and got me into this horrible hobby 😆
The perfect gateway drug to luxury watches.
Datejust, not “date just”
What was your second and 3rd.
Lastly how much would you consider paying for a datejust without a box. I can find them on Bob's watches for a decent price but I went to tourneau they are asking top dollar without box and papers should just be a deal breaker??? Thanks.
Rolex watches like you showed are simply elegant, functional works of art. They are handsome timepieces. Certainly something I would love to have but are simply outside of a reasonable purchase for someone of my standard of living. Keep up the great work, Teddy.
When i was looking for my first Rolex, I was looking for an Airking 5500, Date 1500 or Oyster Perpetual 1002. At the end i got the 1500 :)
And i am loving it!
It's been 3 years, how is it
@@AssassinGG Still having my 1500. Its a keeper. But added an explorer which I wear more often now
@@bloodyslash damn you replied. And alright
Great video,i own a air king date 1975,still keeps amazing time and you can wear it for all occasions.
“Nice JUICY lume plots”... I’ve heard a lot of adjectives describing watches, but this is a first. 😂😂😂
Great video TB!
Hahaha I was waiting for someone to call that out 😂
Incredible watches, I don't think I'll ever own a Rolex but I appreciate the hell out of them.
Hearing the prices from back than makes me wish I bought some of these 4 years ago
Yeah... they are expensive now 😢😢😢
Love the Airking. One of the more affordable Rolex's, and one of the more unappreciated ones. Plus I believe worn by Tom Cruise in Cocktail which is one of the most 80s of the 80s films! What's not to like?! Good video Teddy
Hi Teddy, I've watching your videos lately and I must say, your channel is one of the best out there for the genre. It would be interesting if you could do a video on which one to get between a used Rolex or AP and a new Grand Seiko with spring drive (same price point). Of course the wow factor of Rolex and AP is priceless, on the other hand, the mesmerizing engineering of spring drive is second to none in my opinion. I wonder what your take on this. Thank you.
If you love the 36mm Explorer check out the Oyster Perpetual 116000-0002 the blue dial is stunning and great value..for me it's the perfect 1 watch collection looking great sports casual or with a suit ..
I have the 36 OP in blue and its my only watch other than a digital Casio i use occasionally. I am a big fan of the 36mm explorer and really love the look of that watch, unfortunately the bracelet lets it down a bit, hence why i got the OP. The blue dial on the OP is amazing, it changes colour in different lighting and is versatile, the watch feels really sturdy and would easily outlive me.
I have that as well. Absolutely love it
Oh yeah, I adore mine.
Love this video. Such a great guide 👍🏾
Ahhhh I dream of having a Datejust with Blue Dial, Fluted Bezel and a Jubilee bracelet. Maybe, one day, when I achieve my dream Masters, I’ll buy one to mark that achievement. ❤️
Did you ever get one?
I’ve been a little obsessed with a 1601 from 1969 (birth year) lately. I wish i wasn’t such a Yeti with 8 1/4” wrists
Considering the msrp on a new op34 is only $5800 CAD (about $4300 USD), spending 3 or 4k USD on a vintage air king or op doesn't feel like good advise to me
Wai Ma they go up in value....
New Air King is 6800.
@@MrPeteragent new airline has nothing to do with the old airking. The new one is vile 😁 personally I dont like it anyway, I would buy a new Op34/36/39 depending on the size you prefer. I dont see the value in saving a small amount for a watch that is not as well made and will need a service. They dont go up in value 99% of the time- only sports ones do
I have a Rolex Air King 14000 purchased in 1998 and still working properly.
An Omega entry level might be a good idea for a next video. Keep up the excellent work.
Check out the #5501 Air King too. I have a minty 1969 with custom Tiffany dial. It’s a stunner!
I have a 14010 in black. You can’t go wrong with this sapphire model:)
Teddy how about posting the prices of the watches when they came out to their today's prices.
get a watch technician /water repair specialist (some experience watch person who deals with watches servicing and repair daily) , pay them a fee to have the watch authenticated before buying. will need to arrange the seller to be there too. i think in USA, it might be called Jeweller ???
Love the Air King and it’s my target until I can afford an Explorer.
I have a Rolex Air King 14000 purchased in 1998 and still working properly.
My favorite.
How do you like the new Air King? I think it's a unique design that gives it personality, but I prefer the clean look of the original models.
It's a monstrosity, IMO! lol
I like the no date Oyster Perpetual best. Clean dial! Thanks for another great video Teddy! 😃
Thank you for watching, AJ.
Outrageous, MVMT are better than Rolex.
Anthonius AlphaProject I know, Alpha M. said so.
Didn’t you hear? They’re disrupting the watch industry
Was expecting a DW...disappointed
Yesss a new video just in time for dinner! 👍🍜
What is for dinner? haha Very hungry at the moment.
@@TeddyBaldassarre Going basic tonight - some ramen with egg and veggies thrown in haha Great video as always, by the way. A similar themed video with Omega would be pretty cool! Looking forward to the next one. 👍
You and TGV have original content
Thanks man! Much appreciated!
How dare you put Teddy and TGV in the same sentence. No one talks crap about Teddy like that! Nobody!
@@d.stiefel869 fuck you! It was a compliment
@@Ruthlessbone anything with TGV named in it is a slap in the face. Get with the program noob!
Fuck TGV
What's the difference between the date and the date just? I mean why did they call one the "Date" and the other the "Date Just"?
My first Rolex was a 2015 oyster perpetual rhodium 39mm and its incredible, I personally was much happier with it than the datejust’s id tried
Hi Teddy, Can you do a video on all about the Cartier watches including how it is manufactured? This is more geared towards female viewers I am sure. Also discuss the panthere watch that was relaunched a few years ago?
I personally think the Oyster 39 (Blue Dial) is the best looking watch Rolex make.
Great video. Sad though about lack of turtleneck.
Another great video Teddy!
Thank you David!
Good job watch dude! Very educational. Thank you for your efforts! 🥰❤️👍
Really like your videos, you've brought a lot to my attention and helped expand my knowledge on watches altogether. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Farer watches soon
Great video!
You should do a video on the new AP line and tell us your thoughts
Haha I was thinking about it. I think it could be a good rant video.
Teddy Baldassarre There’s definitely plenty to rant about!!! 😂
Wondering why you did not include oysterdate like the 6694
Nice video- How do I find Bobs watches to buy an entry level Rolex? I don’t see his link. Thank you
Bravo. Outstanding dissertation on some practical Rolex classics.
Very Good options!! I am a fan of the Datejust 16030 total Stainless Steel with machined bezel and silver dial. Got it 20 year ago and still makes me smile every time I wear it. Would love to change the Jubelee for solid end links and a better clasp. Anyhow a very nice everyday watch. Thank you for the well documented video.🤙
Such a nice video 👌🏾Thanks a lot !
I wouldn't buy a Rolex to buy a Rolex but rather get the watch you want. If you want a Sub or GMT, just save up for the Sub or GMT. Settling on a DJ or Air King isn't going to satisfy someone, unless you are a fan of those watches like yourself Teddy.
Next watch will probably be a Polar Explorer II. I have fallen in love with that thing and I want a GMT watch. I already have a Sub and Speedy, so I don't want another black on black watch. Pepsi GMT is another watch I crave but the cost is really high and I honestly don't feel like I'm settling by going for the Explorer II.
Excellent video and selection. Thanks Teddy!
The Oyster Perpetual is one of those slow-release-appreciation watches. It looks plain, boring and not innovative at first sight. But then you take a longer look and pick one up to get a feel of it. You then start to take in the simple but elegant design that just grows on you overtime. Add in the history behind the oyster case and you've got yourself a beautiful watch that has a timeless design.
Evan Loh really? it's been awhile since I first got hook on watches and I still find most Rolex models pretty boring.
Agreed. I bought a Date ref. 15200 and love the simple design. Easy to dress up or down.
@@eeyyaakk6801 Look my friend! You will learn someday, but for now, your taste in watches is pretty much like your name.
@@darood77 whatever you say watch snob
@@eeyyaakk6801 That's your opinion but I own Seiko 5s, SKXs, and SARBs. I love all mechanical watches except fakes.
great video Teddy for iconic models
bruh what's the difference between the op date and op datejust besides the name because they look nearly identical and aren't SUPER different in pricing
I really want a submariner or sea dweller but they're so damn expensive for me
Are you fucking kidding me a Rolex for $18 million that thing better make me teleport
Ones again! Great video! More of my dream watches.
Love my 14000 series AK!
Great choice, Andrew. It is an awesome watch!
Hey Andrew, I enjoyed your cold temp test the other day. However, the tone in your voice was priceless, once you discovered your Rolex had stopped. Thumbs up and keep em coming
@@allenjanes5976 complete shock 😅
Blue dial with gold markers..wow!
Thank you for the valuable information
Mi first date just cost me 1,700 usd in 1987. Totally new in stainless steel.
Two tone with ivory pyramid dial is my favorite Rolex so far, follow with pink dial datejust.
For someone like me with very large wrists I'd highly recommend looking into a used Rolex Submariner. if you shop around you could get a good deal and the watch is a staple in the watch community
I own a datejust with a smooth bezel. I LOVE it and yes I wear it EVERYDAY... why? because I bought my watch FOR ME....NOT to keep it in the box it came in for the next owner... just me!! 🙂
I have the Rhodium OP39 and my partner has a new Date. Tax free they cost the upper end of the ranges you stated, which makes they look great value for new watches with a 5 year warranty.
The OP39 Rhodium gets flak because of the blue markers, but IRL it is so subtle it is reall as conservative as any of these mentioned.
Good video!
Do you have any recommendations for where to buy a certified pre-owned datejust?
Good job Brother, I have a 1601 from 1969 with the Piepan dial, I love it..
Thanks my friend. Awesome! Great choice!
Great videos thanks. Just wondering what is a realistic price for Black explorer II 1990 to 2005 ?
Very informative! Someday.....someday!!!! Lol
rolex oyster perp 16234 now ~10K . 3 years later. so, spot on with price prediction 100% gain in 3 years
Thanks for making this amazing content !
Do you have a video listing a few places to buy used watches that are authentic? How can we be sure they’re not fake?
What do you think about the new Explorer II(white dial M216570)?
Thoughts on the 6694?
Great video; I'm looking at a Date Just to be my first Rolex.
I'm wanting to buy a rolex but in researching....its seeming to bother me the lack of anti glare coating. I'm wanting a blue dial but it bugs me the glare seems to kill the look unless viewed at a perfect angle.
Great video, thanks!
I asked for this, I got this. Teddy thanks for this video. As I said in your last video, My everyday watch is a 116200 DJ with jubilee
You ask and you shall receive. Thanks for watching victor!
Teddy Baldassarre Best regards from Panama 🇵🇦
What is the watch collection battle ?
Love the effort you put on a video. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate it Bob. It was a bit of work this one.
Which is the cheepast watch in rolex
Great video! I enjoy how you include ladies references, since not a lot of watch reviews consider there are women who are out there that do wear watches.
Watching this 5 years later, dreaming about the day I may finally be able to own a Rolex!
Rolex are beautiful watches, first class designs. Where's that Rolex Rainbow, the bling is insane!
Hey Teddy I wanted to ask you a question from a person who’s owned a timed marlin 34mm. I’ve been debating for a long period of time whether I should buy it. The problem is I’ve heard story that it’s really loud and that’s what sets me off so I’ll like your Professional input. Thanks great Video BTW
Hi Ricky! I think it is a slick watch. I have done a review on it. The ticking on Timex mechanical watches are not bad. The quartz... that’s another story.
Teddy Baldassarre thanks for responding to my question . Long time fan of yours keep up the amazing videos, literally if it weren’t for a lot of your videos I would’ve never started a watch collection.
Not a biggie, but please Teddy, consider putting the SI equivalent measurements when mentioning wrist sizes, case diameters etc. Your non-US viewership will be forever grateful. Thanks for the amazing vids!
what is your favorite rolex oyster p color ?
ROWLECKS!!
Hey it me
So whats the difference between the date and datejust
Collaboration with Bobs is brilliant 👍🏻
Hi teddy I don’t know if you will see this or get to responding to it, I’m looking to buy a watch and your extremely knowledgeable in them. I really enjoy the Rolex air king and the way it looks, but I’m in no position to afford it at its price point, is their a cheaper alternative? I’m looking something at or below 250$
Great video
I was considering buying an OP or Explorer, but instead I got myself a couple of small SNK/SNX Seiko 5s. I'm so glad I did! They look as good or better, I can share them with my kids without worrying, and wearing them makes me happy in a way my bigger more expensive watches don't. I seriously advise anybody interested in buying an entry level Rolex to try one of those Seikos first, unless it's the brand and associated status you're after.
Those little Seikos do look nice, i had a Seiko Sarb033 but when i got a Rolex i realized why it costs so much more. Nothing beats a Rolex. I've had lots of watches in the past, including Tag, Longines, Seiko, Tissot and Hamilton. The experience and feeling a Rolex gives you cannot be matched.
I would also recommend the Oysterdate 6694. With its manual wind 1225 movement it's thin on the wrist. Mine was originally bought by a Korea War/Vietnam War vet while stationed in Germany in 1969/70, bought by my grandfather (his friend) upon his death, later inherited by my father, and recently given to me (an Iraq War vet) by my father while he is still thankfully alive. It has been everywhere from the rifle range to the golf course to a tractor on the north 40. It's been serviced and had crystals cracked numerous times by all the previous owners who were 'one watch' guys. Just came back to me last month after its latest service looking new again. Still has the original dark brown almost black dial with gold markers. If this watch could tell stories, it would cover four lives. Next owner will be my daughter. Will look a bit big on her wrist, but she appreciates its history.
Do you have any recommendations on watches made in non-women sizes?
Your thoughts on Filippo Loreti, please.
Hey Teddy, what happened to your pilot watches video?
Thanks Teddy
I'm selling my right kidney so that I can buy a Rolex Datejust 🤘
On ya Teddy, always a pleasure 👌
What’s a reputable Pre owners site ?
my 1983 Rolex Oyster Datejust was stolen last year, missing it like crazy, hoping the insurance money comes in soon so I can purchase another one. :( Great video as always Teddy!
Loving these videos teddy. Great to see affordable alternatives and more affordable used options! Keep it up.
These watches are no were near affordable
GREAT ENTRY LEVEL ROLEX WATCHES !!!!
What was your old intro theme? When it said fashion watches lifestyle in the beginning?
what reference do you recommend for the explorer I. ?
