I got my LV sub at my AD in October after waiting 2 weeks with no spend history.

Statistically you are an outlier.

And available for grey dealers

Waited 3 months at AD for a submariner. Only Purchase history over the years was a Tag and a Breitling over a 14yr period. I think it’s because I went in with the Breitling I bought off them 8yrs prior Sales assisted mentioned he knows I’d never sell it!

​@@patrickjean-philippe7679Agreed and I appreciate that. I was just making the point that people can and do buy from ADs, although it may take some effort and patience to get wear you want.

True facts

No different from the authorized Omega dealer here in Malaysia. The boutique sales associate told me straight in my face that I have to spend at least $150,000 ringgit before I am even considered to be placed on their interest list for the speedmaster Snoopy.

When Rolex shot up in price because of scarcity, Omega became the next Tudor, it's for people who can't afford Rolex grey prices and are not rich enough to impress the AD🤣 Omega fanboys save their money to buy a watch, Omega AD doesn't care, but Rolex AD does and now they're bitter to Rolex bec they got dissed for not being rich enough

​@samon_kurowassan 😂 spends his life desperately trying to impress others. You should try impressing yourself and dive into Omega. It's not about money, it's about owning the better product.

Because there are 101 reasons to think about it :)

@@AK_1971 Ridiculous!!!!

yeah, although a great fact based video which i enjoyed, the title feels more like a click bait.

@@jeanforichonyou will be just fine 😅

I dont think Rolex is better than Omega. I own 6 Omegas and 1 Rolex..both are great watches..

Indeed Omega Grand Seiko my favorite

Yet here you are posting on a video about Rolex. Seems like you do care.

Amen. My favorite is my Omega speedmaster broad arrow GMT, my second favorite is the Tag Heuer link calibre 16 chronograph, followed by my Seiko’s Tissot, and Certina. My next bucket list is a GS.

Thank you for watching!

Haha …. Same……I see your Baltic and raise you…..I’m rocking my Seiko 5 these days 😂👍

A-Mo 😂

Rolex is too obvious. Every criminal buys a rolex when they get some money so where i live they are everywhere. Omega is a lot classier, a lot rarer (where I live) and not flashy. The moon thing for the speedmaster and the bond thing for the seamaster make them to me pretty special. I have both.

Devil's advocate, but Wilsdorf was, first and foremost, a marketeer and knew that the value of a product was not what it cost to make, but what someone was prepared to pay. Personally, I think it's unfortunate that the world we live in today has embraced that idea to the extent that it has, but it is the world we live in.

@@johncarey9149 I don't think it was Wilsdorf that made Rolex that popular. When I heard that about 10 years ago you could practically buy every Rolex model you wanted! Therefore it is not so long ago that Rolex became that brand they are now! There was also a hype about Rolex as an "investment". I don't think luxury goods are any investment category because the hype could be over as fast as it came! For me watches are for watch lovers only! But maybe I'm an exot in this regard. Omega and Rolex in the luxury watch making are about average if you'd like high watch craftmanship. A. Lange & Söhne put all other brands to shame when it comes to this aspect of craftmanship. It's simply the highest level!

You’re right. I have a Datejust, Sub, GMT and Milgauss… I’ve tried to not be a ‘fanboy’ and bought (and then sold) other brands, such as Omega, but nothing else will do. And whilst I appreciate other watches, and often want to add them to the collection, I always end up wearing a Rolex. I don’t care much if they get scratched up a little, they’re keepers for life and then onwards to the kids.

Rolex are well built, reliable, and decent enough.... NOT high horology, NOT the pinnacle of watchmaking, NOT what true enthusiasts should be aspiring to

@@chrisjones6439 why? You should "aspire" to what you want. To suggest that a "true enthusiast" should shun Rolex is absurd. One can love Rolex while understanding that A. Lange & Sohn is a superiorly built watch.

@@chrisjones6439 I also like cars. My friend has an Aston Martin, it’s devine. I could afford one too, but somehow I don’t want one. I drive a Lexus… and my old 2007 Ford Mondeo 😆.

@@JCDofNYC I think you're missing my point mate....of course people should buy what puts a smile on their face... What I think is absurd is people thinking Rolex is the be all and end all of the horological spectrum when there are far, far better watches out there.

I guess you didn't consider inflation and opportunity costs.. Hahaha

Same here: bought my first submariner in 1993.not the baddest purchase. Omega is fine too, but forget the last 4 years with this weird rolex hype, omega will never have the same standard of hiytory quality and holding their values over decades. Buy a omega or a time if you like. I have 3 rolex es now and lookin forward for the next haunt. Greetings from Germany

Will never happen, not click baity enough

@@chrisjones6439 I am sure there are millions of Omega fan boiiis who would jump on to the video. And, separately, owning both Rolex and Omega, I genuinely find Omega more innovate whereas Rolex is more evolving conservative. I would definitely watch the Omega video over and over.

@@InteliDey I agree mate. Unfortunately Rolex clickbait titles get more views...these KZfaqrs aren't interested in quality content for the watch enthusiast, all about views and money.

@@chrisjones6439 That's true.

But this video was awesome.

Thank you! Yeah, the more I researched, the more I discovered how much of the status quo was enforced by Rolex

@AndrewMorganWatches Agreed. I'll continue searching your site for a "grail" watch I one day hope to own; a yellow gold Rolex, Sub, blue dial - on day.... You did sell me a beautiful Grand Seiko SBGA373 Champagne dial @ last Christmas. Great watch, good price. Thank you 😊.

I would be happy enough to own a Rolex if they were even reasonably affordable, like they were in my father's generation. Now they are rich boy's toys and status symbols. They are well build movement,s and my local watchmaker does prefer them to Omegas, for what it is worth.

They probably did, but never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Do you know when it was last serviced? If you are concerned about how it's running ask a local watch repair shop to have a look at it. Do some research first read reviews etc and always go to the shop and see the people in person if you can.

@@gmp7458 yes I had it serviced about 2.5 years ago...there is no problem with trust on the watch maker...he done a good job and is respected locally....but, not cheap to service....I jist want to know how often it should be serviced....I wouldnt ask the watch maker...it would be a bit like asking a barber if I need a hair cut

By waiting until there is a timekeeping issue this could cause more wear to the watch. Think of it like the engine of your car, if you only service it when it breaks down the engine will wear out far more quickly as the lubricants break down and no longer do what they should do. The same applies to your watch as the lubrication drys out it will accelerate wear on the parts.

@@gmp7458 I had it serviced 2.5 years ago when I found it in the back of a drawer....prior to that...I inagine decades ago

It's great that Rolex lives rent free in your head. How else could they make you take time out of your incredibly valuable day to spout KZfaq watch cliches? Just saying.

Dick@@davidr2802

Respectfully always interested why people say that. What is your definition of high horology?? My Rolex keeps time within 1s per day and has wearing it daily for over 2 years so far doing everything in it. I play golf weekly, workout 5 days a week, swim in the pool and ocean, surf, fish, boat on and on. Bottom line the watch looks phenomenal and keeps great time and will fetch more than I paid for it today. I can continue doing this for the next 50 years and it will be ticking just the same and worth 3x-5x more than I paid for it then. What other high horology watch can you do that? Patek, AP, VC? Who wears these higher horology watches daily doing all the things people do in their Rolexes for decades and they keep better time and look better? Just asking since that comment comes up everywhere. One more thing to bring up. It is estimated that Rolex makes one million of these watches at this standard annually. Probably more than Patek, AP, and VC have made in their existence.

High horology refers to the precision of the finishing, the usually hand made elements, the decoration of the movement, the chamfering of the surfaces, things like that. Rolex are great watches and are nice, but there is a reason you cannot see the movements, they are nothing special. Ultimately, Rolex make tool watches.@@rooterman2619

It’s the implication

Thank you very much!

And breathe… 😅

Thats good. My submariner does 0.5 to 1 sec per day

Question is “is Rolex ready to sell you a watch?”
