*This is why i have my 16710, Rolex will still sell me the OG jingly jangly Oyster and Jubilee and any of the 3 aluminum bezels, + the 5 digit era was the most aesthetically pleasing in terms of lines and design, and it didn't come with the current era drama and shenanigans.*

Am I the only one who thinks the Oysters bracelet is nicer than the Jubilee. The Jubilee is too dressy me thinks.

Cheers man that was very informative.

I got my bi-metal Root Beer back in 2019 from my AD, ,still love the watch. Bought a few since , now waiting for Pepsi fingers crossed.

thank you for the video

Interesting upload and I agree about the Sprite. One thing, the term 'ceiling price' refers to the highest price, not the lowest.

Good info on buying the popular GMT models in the UK. I would love to get feedback from Brendan's fans in the US. What GMT models are available for walk-in customers?

Got the call from my AD for a Batman today. Picking it up on Sunday 🥳

I think the rootbeer is awesome and is actually a bargain considering you will pay similar money for a batman and more for a Pepsi, these are steel watches a red/blue bezel is just not as good as having some gold.

Shame they got rid of buying a bracelet option for the GMT’s. Although I wouldn’t swap my oyster

Well said. I got tired of waiting for the BLNR 126710 jubilee. Was able to find a 2020 on the gray for 15500 US. No headaches, no extra spends and I have the watch I love.

I walked past my AD and they had a Guiness/Zombie two tone in the window ready to buy, so I bought it 3 weeks ago. I also went into another AD a few months ago and they had 3 x full yellow gold on Jubilee (yes, three)

The models poster in frames behind you are great!!! Where did you grab them at?!👀👍

Double grand job lad. Well done. Pleased to hear I can buy my grail watch the 126711 as a walk in. My local AD is suggesting I have no chance of buying the watch for 3 years given their waiting list! They are an independent AD so perhaps they get limited numbers but 3 years!? No way.

Thanks for the video Brendan. And here we were, thinking the watch market was dead 😔 . Still a sad state of affairs for true watch enthusiasts and collectors. Do you ever think we'll go back to pre covid days (around 2017-2018) when you could walk in and buy any sub configuration or GMT of your choosing? (I know Daytona was always hard to get but I remember being offered GMTs and subs as a walk-in like it was nothing.)

I like your videos and opinion because you see things for what they are not what they want you too

Hi Brendan what about the rolex sea dweller in steel and two tone gold models, are they available for first time buyers? From ad's

One thought for fans of the black/grey bezel steel GMT. If you don't have the spend history nor the budget to pay the premium on the Gray market,try on a Seiko GMT to see if it is acceptable choice until the AD can get you one. Ditto for the Pepsi and Batman Seikos.

I bought the 126711chnr in2019, I wonder if a datejust jubilee (two tone rose gold) would fit on the Rootbeer?

Agree on the sprite. Just not right

Love the Guinness

Amazing and insightful video could you do this video review for the Daytona models as I want get on a list for a two tone gold with white dial 🙂

Wow, I didn't know that about the bracelets... that's good intel. I've got both the GMT Rootbeer and YM40 Rhodium on my registration list with my AD. I wonder which one I'll end up with...

Brendan I’ve been on the waiting list since March for a Rootbeer not heard anything yet when you say walk in do you mean physically or can I enquire by phone?

You can go to New York and buy any official bracelet or bezel you want. Jubilee bracelet or oyster, smooth or fluted bezels official.

Great video. Can you do the same for Daytona?

You have to use a family owned independent dealer, if your dealer is owned by watches of Switzerland like my local ad, you will never get any watch of any type, i’ve been on mayors in sarasota fl list for 5 years.

As I guy that wears his watches on his left hand, I love my sprite.😂

Hi Brendan I hope you are keeping well & healthy and you are having a positive, happy week so far. I have just come across your channel, and I love your honest, genuine opinions . I look forward to watching & listening to your next video. Brendan, enjoy the rest of your evening and week ahead. Best wishes

To the person asking about servicing watches: I paid $850.00 in 2023 to have a Rolex serviced. It was the first time it had been serviced in 13 years. I recently met someone who has a 20 year old DJ that’s never been serviced. Although it’s good to plan for the insurance cost, I’d say that service cost are probably not worth considering. As you said Tony, and every watch maker has told me, it really doesn’t need a service it if there isn’t anything wrong.

I know its 2024, but I 100% never want my Batman to transition to a Batgirl! Each to their own though 😘 A much more interesting fact is that Rolex and Tudor will not service a watch that is not on its correct as sold bracelet/strap. They will insist on you buying a new bracelet/strap from them.

Even though I’ve got nothing against the grey market as it’s the way of the world in all businesses, But if I can’t buy from an AD at list I’m not interested. I’ve been on the list with an AD for a Batman since April 2021 without any purchase history and was told a couple of months ago by the manager that I should be getting the call between September and December this year. Fingers crossed 🤞.

Like you, I am waiting for a Root Beer on a Jubilee... That would be stunning and really easy/lazy for Rolex to release at Watches and Wonders next year.

You can get vintage GMTs very reasonably. Don’t chase the fads.

Went to 6 ADs in Singapore, not one Guiness available. So yet another, 4th EOI list. Thats my dream watch as a collector.

As a walk-in, in 2018 I "walked-off" with a black-black GMT-II and at that time the high demand was for the Batman instead. The Bruce Wayne hype is fascinating to "watch" (pardon the puns)

The lefty is not 9350 on oyster, it is 9800. You're prices are off.

Good video Brendan although when you say 'Rolex' I think you mean the AD? I purchased my GMT 'Batman' back in Oct 22 from my AD & sometime after enquired about getting a jubilee strap. I was also fed that crap about having to send the old oyster strap back - complete nonsense! I visited Rolex H.O at St James Sq in London which is also a service centre and was able to purchase a jubilee strap for my Batman which they also fitted for me (March23.) Jubilee cost me £1750.80 and they even gave me 1 of those little Rolex pouches to take my oyster bracelet home in.

Great job getting through this; it's confusing and made my head hurt. Fortunately GMT's don't do a thing for me, although it seems like everyone is making them lately.

My opinion smell’s of roses. I like the nuances. It’s more believable. Keep up the good work.

It worked ! Enjoyed the show. Hard to get any Rolex in 🇨🇦

I purchased the Guinness about two months ago and my wait time was only two weeks.

Jubilee Root beer is a grail watch

I Where my Watch allon the Right Arm. But I would never by what with the Date. Especially not with Wart on the Crystal.

Thanks for the video - I very much endured it?!

How much is an additional bracelet?

Left hand gmt is more expensive than you put up on screen

I don’t know how truthful that is when it comes to not being able to order bracelets. My AD kinda allocated me a sprite for this year, they told me not to worry about which bracelet it comes on because they claim they can the jubilee for me if needed. I was told this last week by the owner of the AD.

Check your prices mate the VTNR is not 9350😊

There is no such thing as a waiting list for the Pepsi. They either pull it out of the vault or they don’t. Since it’s in heavy demand by the super rich they will either pay lip service and ‘put you on a list’ or simply say they haven’t got one in stock and haven’t seen one in years. A heavy hitter purchaser could get one on a spontaneous walk in.

I’ve seen the all yellow gold on jubilee and it’s available today. It really is something special. The GMTs do nothing for me particularly and the super hyped Pepsi (as well as the super prime Daytona) do absolutely nothing for me. Funny how that goes.

Thanks for your opinion 😂

Flipping four GMT s in my ADs window, as well as as an Ex1 ......

In 54 years I’ve never purchased a unworn Rolex ⌚️ from an AD, I have had polite experiences from ADs & been offered a watch, but I have excepted I will only purchase from a trusted Grey Market Dealer.

I work at cleaning floors for a busker so I wonder how will I ever afford a rolex?

Missing out any mention of 'Gold' in the title/thumbnail again lol. Gold has been available for years. Guessing you will be doing a Daytona available to buy now as a new customer next? 🔮

That GMT super case - the fat lugs! Nobody is talking about the fat lugs! I wonder when Rolex will slim those lugs in the Sub style? We demand a 41mm version.

The bracelet thing is not true. One AD in Germany just told me it is possible to order the other bracelet in addition.

Did my EoI on a Rootbeer about 5 weeks ago, after being told they were relatively easy to get. Time will tell I guess. I was also told by another AD the bi-metal GRNR was pretty much available straight away. Having tried both on at the same time it’s Rootbeer all the way for me. The yellow gold numerals on the black/grey bezel are just too yellow. Can’t get on with them at all.

Actually I just went and bought an oyster bracelet for my sprite so Rolex has changed policy you can buy the bracelet and switch it up

Thumbs up for me BB 👍

Good video, but I am so-o-o tired of hearing about the Rolex "Pepsi."

Brandon mate you are getting funnier by the day, I will be dead by then was LOl😂 Nice video mate!! Nice one

Whoever buys that new Bruce Wayne on the grey market is going to loose there ass

Some of what he says is interesting but he's voice makes me fall to sleep 😴

Never say never the world is a mess rite now and the American election coming up I feel you will be able to get these hard watches in the next few months

annoying you can't buy the jubilee bracelet, you cn have multiple GMT's and just swap them out for fun, just silly really.

I swear the happiness I feel when #nkuwan uploads a video is beyond!!!!

New friend here sending may full suppor mamacoo

To be honest, you're full of it... You would turn the watch offered for free. Yeah ok 🤣

HEY #mamacoo I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
