Hahahahaha

Bruhhhh

Here we go again.

I got a perfect quality Fake one and everyone says it’s real and is soo impressed by it 💪🏽. Gives me kudos

@@Max__apex how much does it cost for it?

@@melviness4769 I got real Rolex explorer now …. It is Cheap and good. About £500-1000

Wow!! Congratulations 🎊 Thats great🔥🔥🔥. Maybe I will receive that call one day lol

@@Max__apex why don’t you submerge your fake in water and see what happens. That’s when you’ll realize why the real thing costs so much

Agreed. However. I can't buy one. And I am biased.... Financially.

That’s the best thing about most Rolex watches. They are very under the radar if you don’t follow watches.

Have you ever considered a 116500? I do love the white 116520 myself.

Where did you get it from? Asking for a friend 😂😂

Sweetyclones

Thanks!! On Instagram??

Yes

I’ll never understand why people care to fool complete strangers on the legitimacy of their watch. As long as you can live with yourself that you bought a fake then I guess that’s all that matters.

Did you get yours off the wait list or buy used? I’m currently looking at a used white dial from 2007 and considering it as a birthday present to myself

Everyday wearable as long as you wear gloves to cover it up.

Great job

yeah, he was talking about the watch's history more than how wearing it feels

I thought I was the only one who noticed that!!

Stephen Sales ....congratulations!......last week received my Panda.....we’ve got great investment value

I’m a preferred customer so only waited a couple of weeks. I was asked to pay 16500 cash. Happily did so.

I'm gonna make the same mistake soon and by a date just.. but its a mistake where I have no other choice..

We buy what we love. I've never loved the Daytona, but my Datejust is my favourite watch after 10 years and a couple hundred grand spent in this hobby.

In 1970 I was in Viet Nam with the US army. After a month in the jungle my cheap watch stopped working. At my next opportunity I went to the big PX in Da Nang to buy a new watch. There I saw a Rolex Oyster Date and a Bulova Accutron, at about the same price. Being a technological kind of guy, guess which watch I bought?

@@RICHIELUXURY no, it's pretty gorgeous at any price tbh

I personally prefer the new 321 Speedmaster. Sure, the Daytona has the association with Paul Newman, and that's all good.. but now that Omega is pretty much producing the 321 Moonwatch again, it would be a pleasure to own the ostensibly EXACT Moonwatch.

@@RICHIELUXURY for the price tag its good, for second hand market price its meh

agree

@@rawhides I don't really like the most Speedmasters, for me they are ugly... I think I like only one and that one cost even second hand like a new Navitimer... so I would buy the Breitling (if they have the wings again). And I don't care about the moon stuff, so no argument for me.

I definitely agree with you 👍

Aaand that's why you don't work for Rolex !

Nope lol

With automatic mechanism... The original required winding the spring, didn't it?

Novilicious No Patek comes close.

Terrible taste. Try a datograph, or even better yet, a vacheron 1955 cornes de vache.

@@golfinguru11 maybe you should read up about the caliber 4130 before comparing it to other substandard chronographs with better finishing. Sure those high end chronos have better finishing but to say that they are superior to a chronograph with LiGa wheels, repairable vertical clutch, and a replaceable mainspring without totally disassemble the movement just shows that you are not a true watch collector. Just my two cents

@@Cutekid69 you mean the Aegler-made (Rolex buys manufacturers, doesn’t make anything in house) movement that takes nearly all of its inspiration from the Zenith el primero? That one? The one with a double closed back (giant rotor + oyster case) and a market price 6 times that of its closest competitor?

@@golfinguru11 I think you got the 4030 mixed up with the 4130. The 4130 is a completely different architecture from the zenith 4030. The parts count have been reduced and the running seconds hand have shifted to six o’clock from 9 o’clock. I don’t see how the 4130 took any inspiration from zenith when a lot of other chronographs also feature the 3, 6 and 9 subdial configurations like the Moonwatch with the 3861/1861. It’s like saying the AP ROOs are inspired by Valjoux 7750s with their 12, 6 and 9 subdials. Lol. Better not copy and paste any more stuff you read on the internet. Makes you look more like an idiot

are you a rolex salesman by any chance?

LuX - completely agree, I just got mine last week for my B-day,,,,,,

alongside a lot of casios... Its actually the Rolex brand that provides hype to the Daytona, other wise it would not be such a speculative item. Production standard is equal to a Speedmaster but price and organized shortages are just a marketing strategy to increase artificially the watch value. It is nowhere near the legitimate heritage of the submariner line that almost defined the reference style and specs for all dives watches to follow.

More information, please!

Why do you pretend to be AP?

🧐

Or HQ Milton in San Francisco.

Thank your local rolex store for that because they literally don't ever have 1 watch 8n store because they are pumping them out the back to Julio and manny

@@driver8438 how does this exactly work? I’m obviously not in the market for a Rolex lol but how long would I need to wait if I went to a Rolex store and ordered a Submariner for the list price?

Absolutely

100%

damachine3 Rolex loves people like yuuu

money talks for u i guess

If you could buy a new one in 2015 you can afford a new one in 2022. At msrp at least.😁

@@bigc208 I could afford one in 2015... def couldn't in 2022 and that is even with a $40k increase in salary over the 8 years.

Timmy Wolfy buy a Grand Seiko with a Spring Drive movement if you want precise placement of the chronograph hand.

nathantw or anything el primero based like older daytonas

Timmy Wolfy This is really only relevant if you’re extremely OCD, since human beings have a reaction time of about 2/10 of a second, the difference You describe is meaningless in terms of actually recording time. Eating that the watch is plenty accurate for its intended purpose.

Itsalgud1 you don’t seem to understand. It’s not about being OCD, it’s about designing a chronograph dial that you CAN’T READ. It’s a total non-sense to print fifths of a second on your dial if your movement is beating at 4Hz. They just printed markers where the chronograph second hand will NEVER stop. Congrats.

Timmy Wolfy You’re right, that they had never actually stops at the exact point that you would like it too, but it’s a relevant because it stops very close to that point, and so close to that point that the difference does it matter.

Agreed. The white dial Daytona today 4 years later looks a bit cheesy

@5L No, we don´t use Leica. For video we use Black Magic and for photography I use my Canon 5DSR.

@Mark Michael Hi, my name is Marko, nice to meet you Mark.

@5L only flaw with this theory is it assumes basel is happening

I did it too, yesterday. Nothing planned I promise haha

not the panda. panda has solid subdials.

Robert Ford Google “Panda Rolex” and tell me what you find.

@@racer8422 the watch idiot savants will tell you historically this is incorrect. The term panda was misappropriated over the years.

Robert Ford maybe so, but still a cool nickname and that’s what I’ve always called it.

Same here, I like the black mode

Nicky T congratulations! 👍

Ok buddy

Lol, Rolex actually released the smurf submariner (black dial, blue bezel), AFTER Pagani released PD-1661 with the same colours. Pagani's are also getting better and better, the sub 40mm, Daytona and Seamaster 007 are their current best homages for the value.

@@Godotlv5000 indeed pagani is getting better and better only thing against them is the lack of q.a but overall decent afforable timepieces.

William Stalvey just pay the markup. Easy to get.

@@alle1919 not that easy at all, I only buy from Authorized Rolex dealers and I never pay mark up...way 2 cheap

William Stalvey I’m a preferred customer and waited 2 weeks in 16. As a markup I was asked to pay 16600 cash. I did so happily

@@jamall64 lol. They didnt make u if they were an authorized dealer did they

I too never got the allure of a Rolex during my early watch collecting. The more you read and Lear, the more you appreciate what Rolex does well. Certainly not haute horological except the Sky Dweller. But once you handle one and you put one on the wrist and it just feels “right”...you immediately get it. They are one of the most comfortable watches to wear, bulletproof/reliable, amazing quality and they simply make you feel good.

I think what does it for me is the combination of the bezel, dial, and color schema. The glide lock is great and there are a lot of aftermarket straps available. I look at a Vacheron overseas or most AP/PP models and see a basic ass watch...you can get $100 watches that look like them (not that there aren’t Rolex homages either). Everyone likes to bitch about Rolex but they are the gold standard. I’d be more interested to understand why people circle jerk over grand seikos

Top tier chuffer

it's beneath them.

@5L yeah i get it, we all saw that video where he doesnt use the leica in the shoot and we all heard the podcast where the SW guys went to town on that photoshoot and correctly showed how disingenious that video was, and yet it would still be beneath them to be on SW.

Same. I waited only a few months for my white dial. Only a few weeks for my black dial. A few more months for my blue Sky-Dweller. I also own the yellow gold emerald green dial Daytona. Relationships. They get to know you and trust you...and like you...and the waiting list starts to vanish. ;)

damachine3 agree... great collection. I now have 17 rolex so far

@@damachine3 What city?

@@roger5621981 Awesome. I think I'm at 36 Rolexes right now (need to count again!)...and one Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and one Patek Philippe Nautilus (soon to be two).

Roger Alvarado is that the one in Scottsdale, AZ?

Terrific watch BUT like so many of today’s so called luxury watches it is way over priced, not to mention these ‘fabricated shortages. That part is disgraceful.

@@npcforyou What are you comparing it too when you consider it overpriced though? Find me another automatic chronograph, with as much pedigree, and from a brand as valued as Rolex that comes in at 40mm and 12.2mm thick for $15.5K CAD. You won't. The Daytona is often compared to the Speedmaster and sure, the Speedy is about 40% the price of a new Daytona. However, by all quantifiable measurements, i.e. technical watch specs, the Daytona is a better watch in every conceivable way. So I'm just curious as to what you're comparing the Daytona to when you say it's overpriced. If you're referring to the price on the secondary market, then yes I completely agree. I would choose to be patient and wait for it to come at an AD.

@@npcforyou “Fabricated” shortages is one of the most perpetuated myths in the watch collecting community. The reason there are shortages is because when the steel, sports watch popularity exploded about 6 or 7 years ago, Rolex chose not to ramp up production to meet the demand. Why? Because they are a not-for-profit company that is owned and operated by a family trust and charity called the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation. Rolex is not publically traded which is why they are not obligated to release information on the operations and finances to the public. This is why they are shrouded in so much secrecy. But, this is also why they are not looking at profit margins and the bottom line. They have no shareholders to answer to and have no interest in profits. Rather Rolex’s primary focus is on building high quality watches and protecting the legacy and heritage of the company. The popularity increased but production did not. And THAT is, in fact, why there are these absurdly long waitlists at retailers. It’s not some grand conspiracy between Rolex and their authorized retailers. It’s simply a result of the business model Rolex operates within. Basic supply and demand. Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s not that expensive... not sure what the issue is

@@user-oc8cl9rd9y Most people do not appreciate paying 3-4x retail! Money is relative but psychologically people want to feel like they got a deal, not screwed over in the grey market at 3 times retail prices.

Canada_watch I hate the modern white dial ceramic bezel. The all black one is nice but I couldn’t imagine paying double list price to get one

It's just too busy, aesthetically

It’s not worth the crazy AD price of $13,150 for a steel mass produced watch

You mean in the Daytona 500 week? What a coincidence!

Enrico Buscaroli who cares about the Daytona? When people can watch the Champions League..

@@canerbatman2303 It's not the Rolex Cosmograph Camp Nou though

🤣 Guilty

RICHIE LUXURY or the fact that it’s completely illegible like nearly all Daytona’s, especially the black dial ceramic.
