I got hands-on with the all gold Rolex Deepsea, at the Rolex Boutique in Auckland. Is this a watch that could turn you from Smeagol into Gollum?

Wow that actually looks good, looks real good on wrist, your wrist.

Yep. This is my favorite Rolex they have ever made. Unreal.

Now that’s a Rolex! Fits you good, but at 6’3 ft tall and larger wrist, it fits me better 💪🏽🤣

@@TheRandomWatchDude I was aiming of the new Sky Dweller solid yellow on jubilee, but the price of $54k has gotten ridiculous. 7 years ago on 2017 the retail was $30k, I switched my mind to a solid gold Cartier Santos for $30k. The extra money is not worth it anymore imo.

@TheRandomWatchDude Ай бұрын

@@frankv7068 I agree the price of some models is no longer worth it, especially some of the precious metal models. The prices are not realistic, and that goes for a lot of watches

@realalexmackenzie Ай бұрын

Super cool! It was great to see it "live". I've owned the DSSD in stainless and apart from the thickness, I loved it. This gold version is just such an oxymoron that it simply... works. I've gotten into precious metal this year, having picked up a few Panerai in red, white, and pink gold. They get a lot of wrist time. I wear them even when there is no occasion. I think the price tag would keep me from adding this to the watch box, but if the budget were there, who knows.

@TheRandomWatchDude Ай бұрын

You're right there. If you've got the budget just buy it anyway!

Hi, looking for some advise. Wanting to buy a GMT Master ll . Which is the better AD in Auckland or can I register interest in both AD's . Gerry

@TheRandomWatchDude Ай бұрын

Hi Gerry my advice is to go and visit both, and register your interest with both. And keep following that up with occasional visits. If you want a GMT Master II my advice is to spend some money with them on something else first, as GMTs rarely end up on the wrists of first time buyers. Check out my video 'the waitlist explained' and good luck!

Hello, I really enjoyed your video! I'm also based in Auckland. To be honest, you can wear that watch anywhere, even at home. Over the years, I've managed to acquire some impressive pieces, although some of them rarely see the light of day. Nonetheless, I'd say experimenting with them at home brings me a lot of joy.

Hello to a fellow Aucklander! Gollum's cave (home) is definitely a great place to enjoy these watches, and to be honest. here in NZ there aren't many places I wouldn't be happy to wear a nice watch, apart from in the office at work where you might be judged!

@sinjinadams2862 Ай бұрын

I can't imagine how heavy that watch must be. I went the exact opposite direction and recently bought an Ocean X homage/clomage of the James Cameron Deep Sea in grade 5 Titanium. Sized for my wrist it came in at 146g versus 223g for the stainless steel version. I absolutely love it!

I like the two-tone GMTs a lot. Personally I would go with yellow gold as that's the only gold to have, in my opinion. But I am 50 so possibly more drawn to the classic styles that I grew up around, and cherry gold was not around!

Nice looking watch! Looks good on you. Probably a little too big for me, but I’ve got the smaller yg/blue Sub and really like it. As to when and where to wear a watch like this, well, whenever you please - at home, when meeting the wife for lunch, when watch shopping down Queen Street - whenever. So long - as you say - you’re wearing the watch and it’s not wearing you. I wear at least one of my nicer watches every day. I’m literally sitting in a hotel room alone right now watching KZfaq and wearing a platinum Daytona just because it makes me happy. I guess that might sound a bit Gollum-ish? Hah! Cheers!
