Rolex 36 beats both JLC (looks wise not movement wise) and Omega, but no that Zenith, Zenith looks phenomenal.

I bought a 1992 two tone datejust 36 for my 30th birthday. replaced the bracelet with a strap at first, but now im loving the vintage vibe of the oyster bracelet. the five digit serial is the best imo. vintage feel with the sapphire crystal.

No debate 36mm Rolex is the watch. American Psycho!!!!

In 1998 I bought this watch with the Ivory Pyramid face used for 3k, The jewelry store was closing and the owner never came back after having it serviced, Being a smaller guy I can't pull off a 40mm watch, Twenty five years latter it's still perfect, You get what you pay for

The vintage piece is nice. The zenith is definitely the best one for value.

The Rolex is better than the other watches you showed IMO because its understated, elegant and more rugged. It is just the pefect one watch, IMO.

Geez that bracelet is TRASHED...🤦

I would never pay 5/6+ thousand for an old Datejust. I did however spend less than a 1/5th of that on a beautiful Korean case, gen dial/crystal/crown/bezel/datewheel franken build and short of breaking it open no one will ever know the difference. Yes, in case anyone is wondering I do tell the truth when asked "Is that a real Rolex", and I tell them it's 40% 100% Rolex everytime and explain franken builds. lol. I don't care about money/status/etc. I just love Datejusts and every dial that they come with. I honestly think the Rolex brand is shit at this point, but damn if their vintage pieces aren't just beautiful. The aesthetics are unrivaled IMO. The dude doing this video has a fabulous narrator voice, lol. Keep it up man!

Ima be real yall , my first Rolex was a 1994 26mm date just couldn’t tell me nothing it was perfect & I got it for 1200$ 😮 upgrading it in the morning after 2 years to a 34mm date just I’m excited !

Debating buying a 1984 black dial Roman numeral for 4500 tonight, too much you think?

1990’s DateJust are the most beautiful watches ever made. Much better understated beauties than the new models.

Thanks for the video, informative and enjoyable.

I have a 1970 ref1601 silver dial with diamond numbers and ref16030 Buckley dial 1984 with 3.5ct diamond bezel, my birth year. Love these timepieces.

I purchased one from a pawn shop about four years ago. Mine is a 2006 version, I love the damn thing.

I just picked up a 1978 16013 on the original USA oval 14k jubilee. In the 70's many USA Rolex Datejust's would have the Jacob Bender Champion USA jubilee installed as Rolex contracted them out to make the bands to help reduce the import tax.

I own a 1601 from 1971 and it is perfect! I wear it daily and it feels just perfect!

I’m very attracted to the 92 datejust just because it’s my birth year, but I’m new to watches and don’t wanna go too expensive too soon. Great video.

Love the vintage ones and new ones

I own a 1973 1603, I love it

never has been made a better watch, choose wathever variation existent, great addition!
