Is there really no laser etching (crown) on these new watches?
oh shoot my bad i just looked again wiht my loop and there it is! the 6 oclock markers must have made it hard for me to see before. SORRY!!!
I just received one yesterday there’s no laser crown.
@@chartriedangpotichar5161 there is. I missed it initially because the 6:00 marker behind it made it hard to see. It's there though
@@LewisMa This morning I take a look with loop So I found The Crown 👑. Feel so relief..!! I bought this model because I watched your review and happy to have it.
@@chartriedangpotichar5161 awesome to hear brotha 👍👍
I got the same one but in black dial. I gave it to my younger brother as a gift.
Your honesty and simplicity is very mesmerising and this is what stands out in your video. Keep it up as always i enjoy watching all your videos
my friend u always give the nicest comments. they are very inspiring for me, thx much!
Very Nice. I think the new colors/size being offered by Rolex are a departure from tradition but they will be liked by a good many buyers. The Red Rolex used is perfect. That dial configuration has been around forever and a day. I owned a 1950’s OP with Double Arrow Bars at the quarter dial position. The dial config, Smooth bezel, time only are classic Rolex. The new larger size and these non traditional dial colors bring Rolex into the modern era and more in step with today’s watch buyers. It’s a well executed blending of Traditional and Modern. The chatter I’ve heard on the Rolex forums the Red colorway OP’s and DJ’s are very popular. Congratulations on this excellent pickup.
Thank you Evan, you are a wealth of knowledge for me. You should be the one doing these videos! do you know the reference number of the OP from the '50s that you're referring to? I wonder if I can do a comparison
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle The Oyster Perpetual models I speak of are what Rolex collectors refer to as the “Ovettone” a nickname the Italians came up in the 40’s. It means “Big Egg” in reference to the massive case and domed crystal which gave it a pronounced egg shape. In North America we refer to these as “Big Bubblebacks” because of the bubble case-backs and 36mm diameter. The Ref. #’s are 6098, 6298, 6150 and 6250. There are also additional reference that came out in the later 1950’s that would be appropriate to compare but the original four Ovettone OP’s are the start of the modern OP lineage and developed into the watch you hold in your hand today.
People sometimes dismiss the significance and the history of the “lowly” Oyster Perpetuals. They think of it as a plain Jane, entry level Rolex that is often eclipsed by the fancier dress models and of course the Sport lines. For instance, the Oyster Perpetual Ref #6098 was the watch worn by the 1953 British Royal Geographical expedition which successfully summited Mt. Everest for the first time. There’s a general misconception that the climbing team were wearing Explorers but in reality it was the “big”(for the time) 36mm OP that Sir Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were wearing that day. Those early Big Bubblebacks did give rise to the very first Explorer in late 1953. So the modern Explorers can also trace its DNA directly back to those early OP’s. For that reason Rolex collectors also refer to those four Refs I mentioned as “Pre Explorers”. I am working on a video that will discuss and debunk many of the common misconceptions of the Explorer surrounding the 1953 Everest summiting as well show the evolution from the early Overttone “Pre-Explorers” OP’s all the way to the current modern 39mm Explorer. I will also address the Smiths vs Rolex, “first on top of Everest”, controversy that has been ongoing since 1953. That will really stir up the Hornet’s nest, believe me. Been super busy so it’s been delayed.
I think your watch reviews are well done and produced. I like your responsible, pragmatic and financially-sound slant to watch collecting. You can learn history from a book or by analyzing available data and through direct experienced gathered overtime. But having foresight and a level headed approach is somewhat rare in this emotional/passion driven Hobby. Every watch enthusiast has his or her own journey and story to tell. Some roads are bumpier than others. Mine’s been an extremely bumpy ride on the road of Hard Knocks lol.
@@SPQR-Z thank u for the kind words. I'm subscribed so I'll be looking forward to your videos as they come. And we all learn from history one way or another, right :)
I would prefer the 36 mm.The redish corail is gorgeous.
Interesting. May I ask what size is your wrist?
Mat Lindell yea....if you’re a girl
Ah ah,big watches have been made for short men !lol
36mm is good size unless you are below
7.5 inch wrist.
36 was always a mans watch , remember in the 50s 60s 70s a 32 size was regular for men and there were big men then , so never listen to the fools who say it was a girls watch
It's great to finally hear someone say what so many think, the Sub is just not for them. Enjoy the OP.
im glad to still follow and support Rolex but can't jump on the Sub bandwagon
Absolutely beautiful red dial.
I think you actually got a etching at six !
Shine a I phone from 12 down toward six and look closely Very small but it’s there !
Yes it is!
My blue 36 has the etched Crown in the saphire
oh shoot my bad i just looked again wiht my loop and there it is! the 6 oclock markers must have made it hard for me to see before. SORRY!!!
Dope. Congrats man, it looks amazing. Great content!
Awesome man thx so much
Congratulations! Looks great! Wear it in good health! 🙌
thx so much!
That "I'm excited to show you" face is exactly my face when I'm excited to show something.
I love it I got a few tudors and only longer wait I had was for the p01, it’s not a good experience when going for Rolex although I do think this will be my first Rolex. I think if they put lume on the crown at 12 o’clock this could not get any better. Great vid this is the follow up and my second I’ve seen of yours, keep up the great work and wear the watch in good health. 🙏👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🏴
thx much! keep us updated on what you do and what color u get!
I knew it.. I was hoping that nobody wanted these exotic colors and that they would be in stock all the time. Instead I see them going for 6500 euros on the grey market so far. Man, Rolex is as powerful as a brand can get! Congrats on the purchase! Enjoy it! Cheers. 😁👍
watches are moving fast i think ppl are just happy to get anything right now
Hi 👋🏽 thanks for sharing. Funny I was just watching your previous video on this watch as I was searching about it , trying to decide wither I should get it or not. I was thinking I hope he gets his watch soon so I know his thoughts about it. Have a nice one
Keep us updated what u decide to do!
Congrats on the purchase, and thnx for the cool video. Enjoy
thx so much!
looks nice but the focus on the camera doesn't look like it was doing a good job in the beginning. But anyway good luck with your nice beautiful watch.
you caught me! i've got 1 camera set up so with the unboxing (need another camera from top) i used my phone! not the best lol
Looks a bit oversized on your wrist have you tried the discontinued 39mm that would fit you better. Colour wise it’s just a bit over the top for my taste but if you like it that’s all that matters. They added the double markers as otherwise the dateless dial would have way too much plain area with nothing going on. You can’t fault the quality of the finishing and the movement. Maybe this model will grow on me in time but my initial reaction is that Rolex are going for a younger trendy crowd. A younger trendy crowd with a rich mummy and daddy who spend 50K per annum at their AD to get on the list of new toys.
yeah a lot of ppl like the 36mm. i have it on right now, and for me, even if it was a little bigger i wouldnt mind. im used to big watches though. also, i've never made a single purchase at this ad. this was the first.
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle well you can’t go wrong. It’s a Rolex. And if it’s not for you then you’ll be able to sell it easily for profit, maybe the object of the exercise all along.
@@bobbydazzler1780 nah. Keeping this one👍
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle at least you can strut around with a sought after 2020 model on your wrist. No confusing this piece with any other! ;) Bit get the bracelet fitted to be your right size then have the easy link to give a bit of wiggle room otherwise there’s no point having it.
@@bobbydazzler1780 added another link and closed that 5mm easy link. Perfect!
congratulations, nice piece
Ty brotha👍
I noticed in the AD how it changes colour depending on the light . Some lights red others more orange
It's a very unique color. I believe the shot of the lume under the fluorescent light in my video was the most accurate color
Check out STYX if you want protection
I wear my silver 69 Datejust Piepan More than any other watch I own.. I love vintage pieces..
👍👍
Its tough to get a Rolex watch from an AD. I expanded the list. The AD salesman tried to get me to buy other Rolex, two-tone, Date Just. I have never liked the Date Just nor the two-tone watches. I will continue to be patient.
That was my first experience also. Try another AD?
I think 41 mm looks a little too big for your wrist, but hey what do I know?....
Hmmm a lot of ppl are saying that. Do you own a 39mm? Maybe it's want ppl are used to
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle there is a review of a Tiffany dial..its 36 mm, the guy thinks that its too small for him, so he bought it for the girlfriend, but when he puts it on its perfect.. its just a matter of getting extra links..
I think the larger one looks sportier and the smaller one dressier
@@sp500-steph7 yeah! I can see that!
Hello you guy!in your country,if you have money,can you go direct to shop,pay money, and get it.(do you have to wait for some time or condition to get it?), but in Thailand can not get it, unless you have to buy with another model and you will get for 2items.,very bad
Hi Lewis, what location did you make your purchase?
April 2021, this piece is tougher to get than most grails lol, absolute insanity!
Crazy right? I waited less than a month when they first came out! Market is crazy
Congrats on the watch. These vibrant colors work well in sunny areas...I am not sure how this works in the Northeast Chicago areas it’s much colder here.
Maybe the green? it seems to be a darker green from the pictures I see online. But have not yet seen one in person
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle yeah green could be good. I am sure it will be popular. Congrats on the new watch.
Beautiful..... congratulations
thx brotha
Nice review! Great watch
thx so much!
Congrats! Red dial looks beautiful. It’ll bring you luck!
i didnt even think of that! YES, red for fortune!!
Just beautiful. That thing just pops.
Your views and opinions are same as mine when it comes to watches. Thanks for the content video and keep up the good work.
Thx brotha👍👍
@@LewisMa Sure thing and congrats of your new OP 41!
I'm a heavy Rolex collector for the past 3-4 years. I was lucky enough to be able to buy the new Sub 41-no date 2 weeks ago. Wanted to add a no date into my collection since I got the Sub date back in 2018.
@@jamesbui2695 congrats! You've developed a great relationship with your AD. You should make a video comparing the new one with the old one 👍
@@LewisMa Haha, I'm terrible at expressing words and technical watch knowledge. So if I do make a video all I would say is.. "Damn, that's a good looking watch." LOL! Have a good remainder of your work week, Lewis!
@@jamesbui2695 lol! Me too that's why I cut the video so many times 😂. You too brotha
Very nice, just got my Milgauss which i unboxed on my channel as well.
Congrats! Cool watch.
thx brotha. the message at the end was for u :)
@@LewisMa Thanks Lewis... Love your channel, maybe I'm just tired of the politics everywhere and like to escape to watch channels for a little break. Anyways congrats again and enjoy your watch.
Congratulations. Faster than expected.
not sure if that's due to demand or not because i thought i was literally the first to get on the list. who knows :)
I have a 15.8 - 16cm wrist circumference. I'm torn b/w the 36 and 41 sizes. What you think?
Check out vinny Singh's review. He has a smaller wrist. I like 41 either way but a lot of ppl disagree with me
Congrats are these easy to get? I’ve been looking to purchase my first Rolex
I'm not sure if it's easier not. I know I was one of the first ones on the waiting list. Check my last video on this, I give some tips at the end. Great first rolex good luck
Have a deposit on one just like yours! Love it.
good luck! keep us updated!
that is RED. I want to see the new models in person, I lean towards the : aqua marine / green. ~ JDS/CT
yes the aqua is beautiful. i saw it in 36mm
@@LewisMa wear your RED op in good health . ~JDS/CT
Jonathan Smith the Tiffany color is that what u speak of? I got it today. Their an ok watxh.
really ? outstanding. did you have a connection with the AD ? where in the world are you ? good luck ~ JDS/CT
Jonathan Smith Colorado. Yes I’m a mid level client I would say. I put a deposit down the day they came out.
Congrats! That's a beautiful watch. It definitely brings out the blue in your eyes. :)))
Lol! It sure is colorful!
It brings out the green in my eyes.
@@FC-xc3zy green with envy? 🤣 Jk
@@LewisMa Of course man. I want one
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hey did u say it looks a lil orange? Just wanted to make sure it's not a easy watch to see but I dint want to make a mistake when I try to order it
Yeah like a blood orange. Between orange and red. I'd say pretty accurate when I was in my closet doing the lume
Nice video and a good looking watch.
Thx much
While watching I’m waiting for the fed ex truck to bring my blue op41. I have high expectations
keep us updated brotha. LOL Look at these comments a lot of ppl dont like the 41 size!
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle well I got mine today and I wore it all day and I have to say it would have been better in a 40. The Tiffany blue really reminded me of my sbga387 except I think I liked the GS better. It’s a great first watch but after all the hype I must admit I’m a little disappointed. It makes it a tough choice between the OP and my Tudor pepsi for everyday watch.
@@buddastud5534 too big? well the good thing is if u really changed your mind u can sell it and make a couple bucks :)
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle yea I think it’s just a tad big. Hard to explain.
Congrats 🥳✌️
thx so much!
What is your job? I am thinking about going to school for accounting or OT tech or study to get my insurance license. Just tired of making 12 to 15 hr.
Thx 🙏
I just saw your personal development video, looks like you have a bachelors in aerospace? Engineering degrees are difficult to study for I 👂...
PS I’ve been wanting a Rolex submariner for many years. I’m turning 30 this year and it seems that I’m far from getting one. I am living in an apartment, and I want a house really bad.
I’ve thought about settling for a purple perpetual Rolex, however I feel I need to take care of the housing situation first. What’s your advice? Did you have nice watches before having a nice place?
Sorry for any run-on sentences, I’m just very dissatisfied with my current pay, and all these entry-level jobs over the years. I’ve done everything from entry level clerical / administrative government jobs to hospital to fast food.
My friend please don't buy a watch before a house. You have nothing to prove to anyone. I was making $20/hr at 30. Now I have a little extra disposable income so I buy these things. But i still have a rule, toys less than 10% of net worth
How did you get the skydweller? :)
Did you had the chance to try the op36? As well what is your wrist size? I am seriously in doubt between 36 vs 41 for a 6.75 inch wrist size
hmm i dunno. I just like big watches. Im 7 1/4. PPl might think my 42mm SkyDweller sits big but i like it.
Go 41 mm with silver or black dials. Go 36 with stella dials.
@@ACDandMe end up going with Op36 silver dial. Cannot be happier and bye big watches.
@@pedrot1152 I love 36 mm. Rolex will continue to change its size for bigger brothers, but 36 mm will never go out of fashion. You are a man of good taste 💛
I thought they only etch the crown on the sapphire when it's been serviced
nooooo. its a counterfeit deterrent
@@LewisMa oh yea, I forgot they put the S by the crown if it's been serviced. I actually checked mine after watching your video and noticed I had the crown as well. Digging the content btw
oh shoot my bad i just looked again wiht my loop and there it is! the 6 oclock markers must have made it hard for me to see before. SORRY!!!
This makes me glad I bought the tudor 41 blue
I am looking for a rolex and I found this and I am just asking, is it worth is buying?
I love it. And from the ad I think it's a great value
@@LewisMa ok thanks
Will they let you change the colour?
Well I reserved the red. Not sure what you mean?
Good luck finding one
What do you mean? For other ppl?
such a beauty !!
Thx!
Are they easy to get or is there a waiting list
Wait list! Watch my other video I was one of the first in the list
Lewis, you need a better video camera.
From overhead? Way ahead of u👍 check out the next video
Nice Pickup!!! now you gotta get the red band from rubber b =p
LOOOUD!!😂😂👍
Retail, $5900, selling for, over $7000.
Yup
I love thisn
ty brotha
My sis got the Tiffany blue piece
Congrats! She likes it?
She totally loves it 😊
Congratulation! You got that watch pretty fast
Yes! i think i might have been one of the first ones on the waiting list at my AD
Congratulations. The watch is a little loud for me but what the hell. Still waiting for a call from my A.D for the Rolex Sky Dweller in blue. I never thought I would buy another Rolex but the opportunity arose. As you know I am more of a dress watch man. To Hell with Georgia.
I FEEL the ADs are loosening up. Completely my opinionbased on some videos I watched and this experience. Keep us updated on that blue skydweller, go Tech👍
Hi.you see watches bring more view not politics.Nice Watch enjoy
lol lesson learned my channel viewers like watches :)
When you travel make a review about the hotel with info price etc(people like travelinfos)
@@Rammstein1961 That's a great idea. I should have when I went to key West last week. Did not spend any money only credit card points 💪
Next time when you travel don t forget
Nice
thx brotha
@@LewisMa , looks like we are shopping in the same store. I have a great relationship with the Orlando store. But you should get an Explorer II also.... its only 1 mm difference. I also like the Wimbledon Datejust. What do you think of that? www.chrono24.com/rolex/rolex-datejust-41-wimbledon-smooth-bezel---slate-green-roman-dial--id12583443.htm#gref
i like it a lot. before the datejust was a wati list only watch i considered buying the wimbledon SS but with the fluted bezel, oyster bracelet. Do u have one?
@@LewisMa , no but I am seriously eyeballing it. I agree with the oyster bracelet, for some reason the jubilee just doesn't look that good on this watch. But in January I missed out on a black Explorer II when I went to get my Tudor Bronze. For some reason it made it to the cage, I tried it on and it wears really nice. But on that day I opted for the Tudor.
@@coolgabe64 and for this particular one I also like the 2 tone rose gold 🤷🏻♂️
i like the watch but dislike the selling tactics by Rolex and some of the attitudes shown by the ADs ...never mind, I can live without a Rolex..
Looks like you need to add a link
I think so too I like my watches a little looser
added. moved the easy link thing back. perfect
The colour is nice but the watch just looks absolutely huge to me
Interesting. May I ask what size is your wrist?
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle not sure but average for a man, I just mean huge for an oyster perpetual. I have a few but none over 38. I would love to see this size in person.
@@TheRausing1 a lot of comments about this watch being too big. Hmm, maybe im just used to big watches?
I'm a svelte gentleman with a 6 1/2" wrist. I'm getting the 34mm but mostly because I just like the 34.
Dont u play clash
I do!
I forget ur nane isnt it like b or sutin
Big L :)
In Asia, you may be safe but in the States, a skinny Asian with a bright red Rolex you're asking for it.
Lol! Noted. My friend I'm a buck seventy 🤣
@@LewisMa you're a lightweight mate LOL
@@Xxxoo57 🤣
Asking for what? What’s wrong with being a skinny Asian in the states with a Rolex? Just don’t live in the ghetto and you’ll be fine
@@alvadagansta Because criminals don't have cars and drive to the richer neighborhoods. 🤣🤣
can i have the plastic!
lol apparently its a big deal!
How is the AD doing you a favor during this purchase? If you've made the purchase then the watch and all its contents are your property. You should be able to leave with the stickers on if you wish to as I have many times when purchasing a Rolex. This narrative that the AD and some customers are spinning that, "they must remove your stickers" is ridiculous. Once you've paid for the item its is yours to do what you wish. If I purchase a Ferrari and tell the dealer to leave the travel protection stickers on the body and not to wash the car as my personal detailer will prepare the automobile for me. That is BS as far as I am concerned and you're perpetrating this nonsense to unsophisticated newcomers to the watch community.
That's nice of your AD. wish mine gave me a choice
Overhype junk. No thank you.
Nice video mate.
Ty brotha. Ppl have strong opinions of this OP
Lewis Ma - Maximize Your Lifestyle 41mm. To big for this
Awful
The watch? You don't like the color
Why have you bought this watch - just so you can show it to me?
Get the original 36mm.
Respect your inheritance.
Do u mean by that comment that I'm flexing with money that I didn't earn? If so feel free to get off my channel 😉
Yuk
lol fair. yuk on the watch? the dial? or the video :)
ugly watch
Ty brotha do u not like the color or overall?
@Jean Batailleur i think the tiffany blue is up there too but im super happy with this one
Video is of poor quality, not worthy of monetization
I'll get a new camera for you
you whine about "plain" yet you buy a Rolex OP n then you whine about the bracelet?
You do know that a subs bracelet is more advanced?
A Rolex OP after market price is as much as a Rolex sub list.
Sounds like you´re trying to justify why you bought a ugly watch.
Thx for the watch time and comment
Ugliest watch I have ever seen. Looks like a Seiko only uglier.
You don't like the color or overall?
@@LewisMa overall.
Boring after a day
@@traviskoh999 fair enough!
Rolex is just taking the piss with these stupid colors. They show some people will buy anything if it is linked to a brand. Honestly, would you buy this if it were an Invicta? No way.
would i buy this if it were invicta? NO. Am i buying the brand? Of course.
Life is too short... buy and enjoy what you like. It doesn’t matter if someone else hates the color, size, brand, etc.; buy the watch, house, car, etc for you and enjoy the hell out of whatever you have purchase. Almost dying brings a lot into perspective. Mainly, learn to enjoy what and who you have. May God bless you.
@@ArcticAirIncSummerville wise words sir. Thank you
@Joe M. That's just it mate. It's not an Invicta. Your comparison holds no water. If you do not like the watch, fair enough. But you don't compare a Ferrari to a Mazda and ask that question. Not same league. Not same sport.
