Having just bought a Zenith I’d love to hear your thoughts about the El Primero, particularly the Defy 95.9002.9004.78.R590

I would like to see a review of a Glashuette SeaQ 1-39-11-13-83-70 . Its a shame so many watch sites use CGI versions of their watches instead of good old fashioned photography / video

Some AD'S are arrogant and think everyone knows all about Rolex. Some don't so I think part of their job description is to also educate the customer about the brand. People will remember how they where treated and that can be the start of someone being a loyal customer or not.

Rumour is they’re looking into opening boutiques to replace the awful AD network. Would be a welcome move for sure. I’m glad your mum ended up buying a stunning watch 👍

I had a similar experience when looking for my PO. Visited Goldsmiths in Sheffield wearing my G Shock Mudman asking about the PO as I was intending to buy, young guy came to see me & I could tell with his response didn’t think I was capable of buying not really customer service friendly how do I know ? I’m a professional salesman & I can read people within the first few words & body language & at that point decided there & then I won’t be buying from there. Bought a brand new one about 2 months later & got the genuine orange/rubber strap & genuine clasp worth £450 free as I bought the the black orange 43.5 with stainless bracelet. Very happy with it. Land Rover treat everyone equal too is what I’ve found whereas German car dealers aren’t interested. Moral of the story is sales people treat everyone equal but also with respect !

Sorry to hear that, that’s disgusting

Lol this happened to me with a Rolex AD in India. My dad likes big gold watches and he asked how much for the yachtmaster II and they laughed. We left that place and bought a Omega seamaster. It's a shame he really liked the yachtmaster II and Omega didn't exactly scratch that itch. But we are done with Rolex

I give the victory to the tank mainly because of its history

I personally really like the reverso

JLC for me.

The question for each brand is which model and size to wear as a man with a 17cm wrist.

Reverso. And it's not close

the helium valve doesn't bother me as much as some others. I just pretend it's a C4 detonator like in Die Another Day =D

@@whereRbearsTeeth The 39.5 mm Planet Ocean is actually closer in size to a Submariner and has a quick-set date instead of the jumping hour hand. (It’s also much less bulky than the 43.5mm). To me, it’s a less sleek, more overtly sporty alternative to a Sub-and that’s not a knock against it! I wish in these Versus-type videos, folks would use the 39.5mm instead.

@@davidr2802 I love that one, especially the subtle nod to the Japanese flag using the lollipop seconds hand in red! I have the more boring black on black, but it’s a really versatile sports watch.

@@whereRbearsTeeth That is a GREAT point...which I believe he left out of the video.

Jumping hour is indeed very practical.

@@14kafil please don't do this review, your just falling for the social media hype train around both watches. Do something interesting and original instead, is so much better👍.

agreed... and unpopular opinion but the Rolex bezel and glass styling looks a bit more crude and old fashioned, while somehow both timeless i think the PO will still hold its look for decades to come

Do you recommend the PO Chrono or non-Chrono?

I would probably go for a blue seamaster... I really think its a beautiful watch - even tho it might not be as special as a lot of other watches!

Its the best watch full stop at this price range, best movement in the market, best quality, best innovation I could go on. Omega is now at the top of the market, Rolex has been crushed. Rolex has rested far too long on its laurels, its just a brand now. Omega doesn't just offer a far better product, but its far cheaper than anything Rolex can offer in kind. People compare the Submariner with the planet ocean but that's not a fair comparison, if you take the price into account you have to compare the planet ocean chronograph with the submariner and the difference between them is staggering.

Accurate. The PO aesthetic is stellar, and takes the best bits from the olde 1960’s Seamaster 300 and the Seamster 2254, and updates the whole package with the excellent bracelet, coax movement, etc. If Omega don’t mess with it, and especially they can slim it down slightly, it will absolutely look good forever.

Hah hah. If value for money was all that mattered we'd all be wearing Seiko. These things are always subjective but from an iconic design standpoint Rolex smashes Omega at every turn. This is the first time I'm seeing the Planet Ocean and it reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where the woman was beautiful under some lighting but hideous in others. It could just be the videography but I wouldn't fork out thousands for a watch I wasn't sure about. If I could(!) get a Sea-Dweller at retail I think I'd go for it. Yes, it's expensive, but these things last a lifetime and I'm definitely not unsure about it.

Design is a subjective category. Omega has made some great watches over the years and continues to do so. If you have any doubts go to an Omega boutique and take a closer look. Either of the two watches he compares will long outlive any of us. The current Seadweller is a pretty meh watch, with nothing really to distinguish it from your average Submariner. Rolex makes great watches, so does Omega. If they were priced similarly and both equally available then we could have this conversation.

I have a PO now and love it (the only Omega I like though). One of the reasons I got it was so I could be subjective about them because of all the Omega BS that is around. The SD is twice the cost of the PO, not Three times, and it’s better value IMO. Have you worn both? I imagine the PO will be updated soon. My guess is it will look nothing like the current one, and that Adrian will soon be proved to be correct and completely ‘fair’. I agree the Cyclops is a bad addition to the SD, but it looks nothing like a horribly thin Sub! You say ‘unique’ looking, as if it’s somehow positive. A/ It’s not B/ You cannot have it both ways. It will either ‘stand the test of time’ or (as I feel) will shortly be replaced by something completely different (‘unique’?),and ugly.

@@paulbelopolsky7460 If they were, you would buy a Rolex lol 🙄 As it is, the Rolex costs twice as much (availability counts for nothing when it’s on your wrist) and is at least twice as nice. If you prefer the half (less with discount you really should get) price PO, then why don’t you just buy one (do you have one?) and stop bashing Rolex?

Somehow Adrian missed this one when he said the PO wouldnt age well.

​@@TurnRiver Yeah, pretty surprising he wouldn’t know or talk about this. Probably also a fault on Omega’s part to not push this fact more in marketing. Same with the white gold decorated dial compared to the more basic decoration of the Seamaster Diver 300.

Your feelings aren't facts, however the 50 year pedigree of the SD speaks for itself

@@torqueofthedevil8145 The 50 year pedigree argument is what kind of puts me off with Rolex. Without some knowledge and a decent eye, it's very difficult to discern the difference between a modern Rolex and one your Grandpa used to wear. Omega on the other hand is creating modern designs as well as modernizing classic designs as well. Not to mention improving the tech like liquid metal, co-axial movements (which I'd argue are superior to Rolex Movements), and even making superior antimagnetic watches as standard instead of specialties like the Milligauss. I sort of liken it to the Samsung vs Apple argument with phones. Last years iPhone is going to be almost identical to this years' iPhone. Samsung, you're going to find some real innovation that Apple won't be able to copy for years to come. All that said, I have no real problem with Rolex. They do make great watches. I personally find their innovation to be lazy and lacking. And the prices that they charge aren't based on superior quality, just a recognized heritage. And perhaps that's why they don't want to ever improve or innovate. They want people to be reminded of the old legacy rather than upgrade to modern tools. I will say though, Omega has an older pedigree than Rolex does. So if that's what's holding your opinion, I'd not based on facts. Rolex just did better during the quartz watch revolution than other Automatic watches did. But Omega used to be recognized as superior timepiece company over Rolex until then. It will be interesting to see what will happen in the next 50 years or so. Mind you, watches will be made by AI Automation by that time and we'll be chased by terminators who won't care what time it is. ;)

stupid democrats buy rolex

@@zillsburyy1 🙄

@@zillsburyy1 I think trump has one but ok

Do you find it interesting that he is now being sponsored by the jackals responsible for the outrageous secondary market pricing he keeps telling everyone not to pay?

@@tomscott4438 Well, true but I think its more for getting watches for review.

@@tomscott4438 Chronext is just a marketplace. It's not responsible for people charging 100% of retail to get a Rolex. Its the same marktplace where you can get an Omega or Breitling for less than retail. The problem is a) Rolex not producing more watches and b) people being greedy and wanting to earn money without working for it. Nowadays its the same with most hyped things: shoes, tech and also watches. People buy to sell and not to enjoy it for themselves.

Not sure I have ever heard anyone boast about it? This seems yet another Omega Fanboy Myth. Saying it’s possible to get a Rolex is not boasting.

There seems to be a lot of Tudor paid promotions lately. People are selling out left, right and central.

Yes if you look at the original 2201.50 or 2201.51 they look like old watches yet they are only 15 years old, the PO line got shinier and more colourful in later generations.

Thats Rolex out the running then!

@@WH-hi5ew For me, Rolex watches now only exist in photos and videos in the social media

Soooo, any brand?

@@zhan9207 yes, I think they have lost some of their luster. But that is just my opinion

Planet ocean liquidmetal limited edition. Only 2000 out there, you can still get one for less than the SD and you'll likely never bump into someone else wearing one.

@@Jay-xr3sbHow would you feel if you did bump into someone else wearing one? Why would you care if you had a SD and bumped into someone else wearing one?

@@alfieakaronaldog I've got the standard 2500 PO as well, it was quite popular and distinct in orange. I have bumped into a few over 10 years (not alot). Nothing wrong per say but a little less unique. The sub on the other hand, that i see in london all the time, then there are the fakes, colour variants and occasional sea dweller. They just seems too common and attract the wrong kind of interest, same when a friend found out how much I paid for the liquidmetal PO (preowned, 10 year old), unless you want to flaunt your money.

@@Jay-xr3sb limited to 2,000 because it knows that's as many and more that it could ever sell. But this is Omega and it'll be special right up to the moment it releases the next special edition... Oh, Omega.

@@willemdeleeuw8094 I hate the endless run of special editions but I'm talking about this actual watch. The mix of black lacquer dial, ceramic bezel but in the smaller 2500 case over the new thick 8500 series, red text and the limited run is a bonus. It's a keeper. I prefer is to the sub regardless of the brand and number made, personal preference.

Too much time spent in Glasgow 😏😂

Wanted to buy a PO at my local AD. After trying it on my wrist I can totally understand you. It's a big and heavy hitter. But it's beautiful and extremely well made. So I changed my mind in the store and went for a smaller Seamsaster in 42mm. Fits perfectly and is very comfortable to wear. Omega's quality is insane

I own a black 43.5, it was my first real watch. I think it’s still the finest diver of them all.

^ Highly underrated comment 😅

Much more substantial. Manly.

the design of most rolex lines stay the same over the past decades, not only the sub. They are just lazy to change their design. 10+ years ago these sports thing are all unwanted at the AD counter. i believe the white gold datejust is THE timeless design and the icon of rolex, not the sub. rolex agrees with me that they literally use the word "timeless" on the landing page of the datejust

@@SillytanN I see "Classic" on the DJ landing page, not timeless, but close enough. Point made, and I don't disagree.

Higher depth rating and an automatic gas valve while maintaining the timeless design. I love omega, but that manual gas valve screams cheapskate design.

You've actually pointed out my biggest issue with Rolex. The Fifty Fathoms and SeaQ are absolutely a level above both Omega and Rolex, but if you're interested in a Sea-dweller at resale (because it's impossible to find at retail) you're already spending FF/SeaQ money, so why not just get one of those instead?

For sure! I work at a Harley dealership, and it's the same thing. It's worth what someone is willing to pay. Because nobody NEEDS a seat with zero exterior protection that will fling you down the freeway at 100 miles an hour using 1940's technology, and can't even carry your groceries. But we do it anyway.

Not really. Here is one example. Were tulips, just a couple, worth more than the value of a posh home in the 16th century? I would submit no.. I have qualificatins in marketing, business and psychology. I know how easy it is to manipulate perceptions. A second case, is Mvmt. Are they really worth, over $200. For a sumilar watch that is produced for $10? You are just regurgitating a mantra, without thinking. Rolex, banks on people with that mentality.

@@denisdaly1708 It is indeed possible to change the perception - and by doing that, you may have found a new customer base. But its still only the perception - and not neccesarely the rrality. Rolex are for sure a brand with a good product, and so are a lot of other brands. I personally wouldt purchase a Rolex (well, maybe new 36mm Explorer 😉). But they do a brilliant job with marketing, and that clearly works. So at the ned, maybe we agreed anyway... ? 😉 Im sure that you are aware of the fact, that sales cost, doesnt need to be tied up with the production cost.... Hence the tulips, are worth what ever soneone is willing to pay. Even in a Ponzi scheme....

​@@denisdaly1708 Agreed. I think much of the inflated value of the hot Rolex references is based on a false perception of rarity. In reality Rolex are pumping out thousands of these watches every month, and there are always numerous examples offered for sale on the pre-owned market in every corner of the globe. Of course, at the initial point of sale in the ADs there is also ultra-high demand relative to this supply. But, when all is said and done, there are tens (even hundreds?) of thousands of the watches floating around out there in the world! By contrast, Patek might only be making a few hundred of some of their steel references _per year._ (But even that doesn't make them super rare. IMO a watch starts to be truly rare if it is now discontinued, was produced in very low numbers, and if one of them comes up at auctions on average only once every 2 or 3 years.)

@@denisdaly1708 Did you hear that those 2 goobers sold that MVMT company for 100M? I don't know who would pay 200 for a MVMT watch (except that other goober from "Real Men-Real Style") but who would pay 100M for that "company"...? There goes to show you how much I know..but I can spell qualifications correctly.

same! I paid closer to around 2800 pound (im in Aus) for a virtually unworn 2nd hand one and really love it. Even if i had the money for the Rolex i think the PO simply ticks all the boxes for me in a watch, i dont think id bother with an upgrade i like it so much!

Those fucking flippers definitely

IF you plan on keeping it for the rest of your life. Divided 9K with the number of years you think you have left. Is it worth it to you then? If yes, then great if no, then great.

@@HoiDongCuu Part of it is that the Rolex suggested retail price is DOUBLE that of the Planet Ocean. The rest is the lunacy of the current Rolex market.

It's actually £9,000, roughly $12,750

I’m in the same camp of justification. In addition, I have a bit of anxiety about putting that much into just one watch.

Thats why these are classified as 'luxury divers' - if i needed a reliable watch to dive with, i would go with Seiko or maybe Tudor Pelagos, but im fancy so i bought a Rolex Sub C... and a Seiko, and a Panerai, and a Pelagos.... whoops

The only reason is that Seiko is way more cheaper than Rolex and Omega, so if the watch is damaged, the divers can replace it easily.

I went diving I'd wear a dive computer...

What are Omegas mostly worn by then? Lol What’s with this ‘Desk Diving’ (it’s incorrect to frame with speech marks by the way ;)) BS? It’s just a watch so buy what one you like. Only jealous people mention that the wearer never goes diving. A chronograph is way more pointless lol

Rolex by a mile. Pure class. Timeless design. And it's a Rolex !

Yup. Eventually the hype will die down and everyone will move to the “next” thing.

Good job, Pete!!

I got a sub date in 2015 within a couple of weeks. It would take a couple of decades to get one now. Madness

And your comment is priceless

Sports model Rolex are never in stock except for the Sub. You can get a Day-date or Datejust though. If you go Omega or IWC you can probably get a discount off the retail.

It's a hallmark of the watch, looks great in real life. Part of the art of it

And that extra large crown

@@bdegrds I agree 👍 it became a trademark

I agree on getting rid of the escape valve. It sure would clean up the case. Besides, 99.9% could go without the escapement valve. I have the planet ocean 39mm with the rubber strap. I'm only 5' 5" so the 39 works for me very well. It is extremely accurate.

same for the cyclops, Mercedes hand, and boring case back, crown guard etc....

Thanks Amit 👍🏻

Rolex overcharges

The main difference between two is depth. If you don’t dive and or don’t dive below 300m. Then Sub will be the best. Otherwise Sea Dweller will be wasted money. Unless calibre is higher grade.

yeh not a fan of it in a modern watch, love it in a vintage one but unnecessary for a daily watch

Smart comment!

@@Red73370 14.4mm thick with a 19mm between the lugs

Thanks so much Kevin. 🙌🏻

I totally agree and two of the best watches. I purchased a 16610 Sub from an AD in 2005, then in 2016 I purchased a Speedmaster. The best diver & Chronograph in my opinion. Two months ago I added an AirKing to my collection, bought from an AD at retail after only waiting a couple of weeks. Hope you get your Submariner.

You will have 2 great classics , I own the speed master and such a classic design but would also love a Rolex sub ( if only it wasn’t for the price )

Totally Agree… Get the 2 . One Day I would buy 1st a Submariner and then a Seamaster…. One Option is not enough….

When you are a fan o Watches….One Option Is not enough, and one Brand is not enough…. You want them all. 🤣

I am on the waitlist for submariner for 2 years but still didn't heard anything from them, even I called them to inquire but they talk rudely with me and they told me that when we got that watch we will let you know, so for waiting 2 years for that Submariner, I finally bought Omega seamaster which has better quality than Rolex and they treat their customers with respect

Yup.

That doesn’t make it better though.

Correct. That means that in reality the PO is the overpriced watch.

Thanks a lot Jose 👍🏻

...the best restaurants in the world only have 2-3 dishes on their menu. I personally avoid places that offer pizza, thai, kebap, burgers and sushi... Rolex stuck with a unique design language and merely opted to perfect it, no need for variations...!

No idea why they persist with a screw in helium valve. Even cheaper brands such as Christopher Ward can manage a flush fitting automatic helium valve.

Pontiff coffee contains ladi boi juice, pus from horns and sweat from Archies orifice.

This was only in relation to Tudor because they’ll be available from an AD at retail in short order. Not Rolex.... if people didn’t go grey for Rolex then no one would have them.
