I love them, but you need to wear 1960s sports pieces with more caution. The risk of theft, scratching it on a desk, or banging them in a doorway, or having your car door closing and hitting your left wrist, one better restrict how much you wear it. And no pool or beach. Better have one - or several modern "support" watches built like a tank in addition to the magic vintage pieces.
Vintage is fine, but there’s no better feeling than being the first owner of a Rolex. If you can, buy it new. You’ll have an emotional attachment to it that’s unexplainable.
I've got the Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Moo Chronograph. Fantastic piece - love it. Pity the strap that came with it (because I bought it in Japan) is too small for my wrist. But I can really see the quality in that textile strap. Excellent video!
These videos are incredible and are one of a few on this channel which encouraged me to trade in my modern OP 41 and get a 1603 silver dial DJ, so much happier now.
Fantastic videos on the DJ. You're videos on them persuaded me to take the plunge and trade in my more modern 41 OP and pick up a 1603 DJ and I couldn't be happier, the 36 suits me so much more on my 7 inch wrists and the vintage elements just give me so much more pride wearing it. Would love to see more, your channel should be far larger with the quality you output.
Good video. The only issue I have with my datejust on a leather strap is the finishing of the metal where the bracelet used to be. It’s really rough and not polished. I guess because it was never intended to be taken of the bracelet.
No way are they undervalued. They are overlooked because it’s not what younger people want right now. Everyone still wants the hype watches, the sports AP and Patek. Still amazing timepieces for people who are ready to buy wear and enjoy, but these are classic watches. Which younger people under 45 might not be ready in their collecting journey. These are not for everyday use that’s for sure. Unless you live a laidback non physically active lifestyle. Very easy to damage. You can’t wear these like you do a Nautilus or Aquanaut.
The 3940 is a true grail piece, only real horologists know the history and how great that watch truly is with it's complications, open case back and the but please limit giving it the attention it deserves. I don't need my grail watch being super attainable already as it is if I'm to get it one day 😂
@@leonardocozza3140 I think the monochrome look goes less noticed. I have a 36mm Datejust with silver dial and the hands and Rolex logo blend in to dial making more stealthy.
I have a 17cm / 7 inch wrist, i had the 41 , i thought it was too big. I “downgraded” to the 36 and I’ve never been happier. The 36 feels more nimble. The 41 felt like a tank on the wrist. The 36 feels like I’m wearing nothing.
Used to have 16750, was kinda scared to wear it. Sold it and got 16220, wore the hell out of it, it really held up all abuse like beast. Sold it and got speedmaster,even my overcoat was able to get it scratched, i was celebrating the day i managet to get my speedmaster sold. So, fixes bezel, stainless and sapphire are my go for daily.
Well, Day dates and Datejusts are not much of a prediction as I would guess Bulang and Sons sales consist of 75% of these watches. As the old ones are for small wrists I have urged you to source fewer of these and get bigger watches for your inventory - alas! As you know you sell where the money is, and that is unfortunately with Rolex watches. Imo people are to greedy and lack passion to even consider Universal. Cartier is already hyped - people will loose cash on those. Edit: As you talk details on the watches on the table (and not just in general terms) please provide close-ups - as the viewer can't see what you are looking at. thx for the video.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on our video. We're glad you tuned in! We wanted to provide our perspective on the current collectors' market. Vintage Rolex has always held a special place in our hearts and will continue to be a cornerstone of our collection-it's truly part of our DNA and biggest passion. However, the gold Datejusts and special Day-Dates haven't traditionally been our primary focus. We've always been more inclined towards vintage sports models. Personally, we have a preference for the original gentleman's sizes of 36-38mm, which is also the size I wear most frequently. Our collection doesn't feature many watches over 40mm because I find them less comfortable, but that's purely a personal preference. It's interesting to note that collectors seem to be gravitating more towards smaller sizes, which could be why Cartier is gaining more appreciation than in the past. We've observed a significant increase in interest for these watches lately, marking a shift from when collectors predominantly favored sports models, overlooking Day-Dates. But that's the beauty of collecting-everyone has their own tastes. We're all about embracing the diversity of collectors and the watches they love. Fortunately, there's an abundance of vintage watches and brands to explore. So whether you prefer Rolex sports models or something entirely different, there's something out there for you. Thanks for watching, and we value your feedback!
