Wearing A Gold Rolex Day-Date In NYC, Like A Boss

Wearing A Gold Rolex Day-Date In NYC, Like A Boss - A Weekend Review

From drug kingpins and mobsters, to American Presidents, rappers, and now KZfaqrs, the Rolex Day-Date has become the go-to watch for captains of industry who have achieved success.
Why is this? What is so special about this watch that’s only available in a precious metal? In today's video, I review my own reference 18038, discuss its unique history, and how it feels after a few months of ownership. But this is no ordinary review, since for me, this massively iconic watch has deep connections to New York City. So where better to review this piece?
Join me as I explore some of my favorite sights and sounds of the city that never sleeps, where it still holds true that if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

@@theurbangentry Hey, i wanted to thank you for introducing me to watches and the hobby of collecting these tiny liddle treasures. I am from Germany and went to school there to become a mechanical engineering technician. For my graduation i wanted to buy a watch and went right on the internet to see what brands exist and read the tests about them. Your channel popped up and you reviewed the brands i was interested in. After quite a while i decided to go with a Junghans Max Bill Automatic, since i come from an engineering background i wanted a mechanical watch to celebrate my graduation, also the fact that Junghans is a respected german company made me want to buy one. This watch means alot to me, its the embodiment of my technical knowhow and my new job as an project engineer. (Im going to start working there at September 2.) 😊 I connect my success to it and my drive to achive my goal. BUT i never wanted to brag with a watch, it should mean something to me and for the trained eye of other people it should be a statment for simplistic design and beauty. I hope you enjoyed my story, for me it was important to tell you that. Your videos inspired me to dive head first into this hobby. Best regards from Germany I realy enjoy watching your videos, you have a new follower. PS: Im thinking about buying a SEIKO next, also a company i found out through you.

Love the Day-Date. Spring for the 18238 if you can; the double quick-set is worth it plus the case width drops a bit. I brought a beat-up 18238 and had it refurbished by Rolex who did an amazing job returning the Day-Date to as-new condition with full waterproofing and, importantly they fixed the clasp mechanism (they tend to pop open and get a little loose with wear) so the piece (from 1995) presents and wears as-new. This video was a classy piece of work; capturing the inspiration one feels from wearing a certain model or metal - what it means to the owner is the real deal here. 100% correct too on the subtle appearance, most people think a FYG Rolex is just bling but these older DD models seem to just give off the right hue that only a noble metal can give. A delightful video showcasing one of the best cities in the world NYC as a backdrop to arguably one of the finest examples of horology yet conceived. 10 out of 10!

I've seen the entirety of the Sopranos about 6 times--the greatest tv show ever. James Gandolfini, a meat slab of a man, rocked the heck out of that 36mm Day Date. It looked so classic and natural on him. It was almost a character in its own right on that historic show.

Very well put. I agree, it suited him perfectly and such a wonderfully written show. So clever, it certainly raised the level of what TV shows should be and will likely never be out done.

Been a while since I’ve had the time to sit and enjoy of your your videos sir, but glad I found a minute to catch this! Love this watch! I was wondering if you could maybe do a QIAJ video answering the question of if you ever experience any worry or fear of being robbed when wearing such a recognisable watch? If there are situations when you would think twice or perhaps wouldn’t wear a certain watch? And more importantly how you typically insurance your pieces and keep them safe and secure? In many parts of the UK there are few banks that offer safety deposit boxes so I’m looking into getting a safe to store my families valuables. Thanks for the great content and hopefully in the coming weeks I’ll have more time to catch up on the videos I’ve missed! Keep it up TGV, cheers and best regards. Oli
