If You Only Want To Own 1 Luxury Watch - 5 Reasons Why A Rolex DateJust Is The Best Option At $2000+

Рет қаралды 227,542

6 жыл бұрын

I get asked every day my recommendation for a luxury watch for those not looking to collect but to have one single "do it all" luxury piece. A few months ago I shared my thoughts on why the Omega Seamaster makes a great first luxury watch. But that was on the assumption it would be the first of many in a collection or part of a journey in collecting. What if you just want one watch or only need to add one luxury piece to an existing collection? The DateJust from Rolex is my top suggestion. In my opinion it has the most to offer and so, today I share my 5 reasons why. From the modernity and rugged dependability of the contemporary 11620 or 116334, to the more affordable vintage charmers like the 16200, 16030 or even quartz versions like the 17013. In terms of history, versatility, value for money, quality, and just the sheer amount of options to choose from, it's hard to beat! I also share which DateJusts I have had the pleasure of owning and a brief history, including a very special guest, sir Winston Churchill himself.

Hi TGV Very good video, and very good Churchill imitation😂 I could add: "We will wear them on the beaches, we will wear them in the air and in the streets. We will never give up on our Rolex'es" But off course, in the light of WW2 that would be kind of distasteful, so I wouldn't do that😖 Oops... Another choice - if you would want to go a bit lower in terms of price - could be the Breitling Colt. Not quite as elegant for formal occasions but one could still see as acceptable with a suit. Keep up the good work👍

My first luxury watch was indeed a Rolex DateJust that belonged to my grandfather. I've inherited it days before he passed, when he removed it from his wrist and gave it to me when he was at the hospital. It's a 1974, 1601 Stainless Steel with white gold bezel, jubilee bracelet, and white Pie Pan dial, with yellow gold hands and stick markers.

exactly! but it doesn't work like that. if you want full cost replacement you have to add it to your policy and that adds to the cost. its also a good idea to take lots of pictures of your watches and keep box and papers put up so you have proof you own the watch if it shows up in a pawnshop or some other store. police report + papers with serial numbers are a key thing to have. lucky i hve lots of pictures of my watches and some of the boxes and papers so if i ever see my watch in the future i will get it back. PS report the watches you own to your insurance provider and you can get full coverage on them for a few dollars a month

This is the crown jewel of my collection. I bought a fake one aged 15 in New York (long gone).

Keep up the great work - you're a class act, much like the datejust.

Funny story....back in 2001, I purchased a new two tone Datejust with a porcelain white Buckley (Roman) dial. I showed it to a friend of mine, who was into watches back then, and he commented “it looks like an old man watch!” I sold it a few weeks after, and I have regretted it ever since. The lesson being, if you like it, keep it and make yourself happy.

My first luxury watch was a Rolex Datejust - stainless steel, engine-turned bezel, on a jubilee bracelet. My father gave it to me during my sophomore year in college in 1985. (My father has a vast collection and influenced my passion for watches. His first luxury watch was a Rolex Oyster Perpetual given to him by his grandmother when he graduated med school.) My nephew will inherit the Oyster Perpetual; my middle daughter now has my Datejust; I bought my oldest daughter an Air-King with a blue dial; and my youngest daughter already has her eyes on a mid-size Datejust. "A crown for every achievement".

I think for an 'only luxury watch', you're best staying with Rolex or Omega. They have the brand recognition, and good service support. Most Rolexes are a good only watch, especially the Explorer I, Sub, Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, and Daytona. From Omega, you'd be looking at the Seamaster 300, Aqua Terra, Globemaster, or Speedmaster (any of them, really).

More affordable options include Fortis Terrestis, new for under $1k usd or Sinn 556 Anniversary limited edition (no date, though) for under $1500. The Rolex, of course, will hold its value better than most options. I just get a mental image of a flashy old banker type surrounded by the stench of cigarette smoke and greed when I see a Datejust. I don't have a problem with expensive timepieces, but that is one I could never wear and tend to form negative preconceptions about the wearer (almost to the same degree as a shiny oversized Breitling). Still, 2 thumbs up on the vid, for good info, great Churchill "found footage" audio, and the intro music that makes me feel like sailing. ...and saying, "Yarr!"

Hi TGV great video once again, loved your winston churchill impersonation, made me chuckle lol. As for a one watch collection, i am going for the rolex explorer 1, the 2015 version, the last of the shorties, i love the simplicity of it, 39mm, just right for my 7 and a quarter inch wrist. I am 49yrs old and don't want anything too flash. I owned a oris aquis date not long back, nice watch but it was to big and blingy lol. I should have my explorer paid of in december plus it something to pass on to my son. I have a daughter aswell and i think i may save and purchase a datejust to pass on to her, i can't give one without the other lol. I think timepieces are a thing of beauty.

Objectively, it's a beautiful and undisputed classic, but I don't think I would ever wear one. To me this watch screams Rolex even louder then the Sub, and I've always found them gaudy. But taste are not only subjective, but also subject to change, so you never know...

That's a very fair point and I actually like the more subtle versions on other people who can pull them off. To me the date just is a dress watch with a hint of sport, and the explorer is a sport watch with a touch of dress. I prefer the later style, and watch. Thanks for another great video!

@ronoccc 6 жыл бұрын

I love the datejust, never owned one, but I sort of understand where you are coming from with the gaudy thing, I suppose...But I think it's not the watch itself that people find 'gaudy' but the perception. In my opinion, it's a beautiful watch, a classic like you say. It's actually quite subtle, 36mm but with a hint of personality and a real presence. To me the datejust is an incredibly elegant design, even on a jubilee bracelet which I love. It's only because it's a 'Rolex' and the films it's featured in why people find it that way to me.

@chrisgreen764 5 жыл бұрын

Gaudy, you’re right, apart the simple silver steel and white gold bezel Datejust, with a similar jubilee bracelet. My 36mm dates from 1980 and worn almost daily since. Most other Rolex’s are bought by people who buy a Porsche or Audi TT, in preference to a less flashy quality car, such as a Maserati or an Aston. Patek, AP etc shout class, like the Maserati. My ‘dress’ watch is a Patek Amagnetic 1960. However, I’ve just acquired a new blue Omega Seamaster 300 (new model) and it’s fun and I love it. Classy? Certainly not and probably won’t last the test of time, but neither is the Submariner, which I think is not a patch on the Omega and far more expensive.

I just got a 1601 (2-tone, jubilee bracelet) and here's the kicker, it's in my birthyear - 1967! Over the moon to also find out one of my heroes, Mr. Churchill, was a fellow owner!

My first luxury watch: Submariner NoDate 14060M, the 2-liner... And loving it!!!! With a big cup of coffee I have to say I enjoyed your video as always! keep up the great work and keep the watches running

Not sure if you go back and check your comments, but I'll give it a shot. What size perlon straps do you have on your vintage timex? I recently purchased a vintage marlin and got a couple of 18mm perlon straps for it, but after seeing yours it looks like you're using 20mm with 2mm dia spring bars. Is that correct?

I really enjoyed this one... great advice -- wish I could own that gorgeous blue dial w/ roman numerals. Oh well... maybe in my next lifetime... the dreaming's the fun part. Fantastic enthusiasm... great content -- us avg folks dig the in-depth glimpse of something we'll likely never own ourselves.

Lol! Love the Chruchill voice imitation. That was great! Love my Datejust 41mm. Best classic Rolex watch aside for the Submariner.

I 100% agree, the datejust is the ideal watch. I do have one reference 116234 with silver dial, but i also have a gmt pepsi and a two line submariner and even though my sport Rolex watches are awesome, my datejust gives me a completely different feel when i wear it. Its dressy enough to make you feel sophisticated but rugged enough to wear every where. I highly recommend it especially in the 36mm size.

I bought my DJ after watching till date one of the best watch review ever made on you tube by TGV...the American pyscho. That DJ review was so eloquently produced that Rolex must have slipped you a fiver in the post. Another epic follow up and I always remember you when people admire my DJ as you brought this very versatile watch to my attention. I wear it with so much passion.

Love the datejust! My dad has one with the blue face & jubilee bracelet. I’m obsessed. I’d like to start saving for one to match. Definitely a grail watch for me!

Hey TGV! Long time fan with a first serious question. What site do you suggest for authentic rolex parts, especially bracelets. This inquiry stemmed from the idea of getting an authentic rubber rolex strap for my submariner. Also, I may also be interested in finding a new jubilee braclet. Keep up the good work and thanks in advance.

Eddie Kim eBay is good, just make sure the seller is experienced and has at least 98% positive feedback and you should be good.

Great video as ever TGV. I own a SS Datejust with a grey tapestry dial fitted with a jubilee bracelet. Purchased my watch new in 1993 from Goldsmiths jewellers in Nottingham, UK. Completely agree with your comment saying that high end watches are affordable if save hard & long enough. I set my heart on owning a Rolex and for me the 36mm Datejust fits the bill perfectly. I intend to hand this watch on to one of my godchildren when I pass on. Finally...”Never in the field of human conflict”....Oops, just slipped into Churchill mode for a bit!

Hey TGV ! Big fan I would absolutely agree. I got a datejust 16233 two tone for around 4k. The biggest purchase I ever made for the biggest smile to ever lay my face. I am thinking about an omega speedmaster for my next one !

I purchased a Rolex Oysterdate 6066 a 'poor' mans datejust. Also a great alternative, i payed 800£ for it.

Can you classify a datejust 41 blue with oyster bracelet as a dress watch?

@mrg1911 5 жыл бұрын

I've owned/worn several Rolex Steel-Sport-Stunners for 40 years and am always amazed people frenzy around them......when the Date-Just is the perfect Watch, and AVAILABLE....
