I bought my first Rolex, a 2006 platinum Yachtmaster, in 2014 as a divorce anniversary gift to myself. I love the watch, it’s simplicity, elegant practicality, quality, value. I sailed 3500 nm from West Palm Beach to Mt Dessert Isle in ME and back to Annapolis (mostly solo) with this watch keeping my time the entire trip. It is one my few possessions and I cherish as well as my opportunity to pass it along to one of sons one day.

There are some amazingly accurate replicas out there. Rolex can always distinguish what isn’t theirs because they have their own foundry producing parts, using proprietary formulas. Broad spectrum photometry is like a fingerprint of metal composition. They can detect when an alloy isn’t meeting their secret specifications.

Lavaman3682 Agreed. The kindest way i can state it is "intentionally misleading". Like the part about the chronometer cert.; Omega held the top spot for watches in general and had been creating Chronometer certified POCKET watches since long before Rolex ever existed. Wrist watches were simply not popular among the buying public at all when Rolex released that wrist watch. The movements in the competing pocket watches were no larger than that Rolex used in their wrist watch. And that Rolex watch did not sell particularly well. Sheesh, and that's just the start of the lies and half-truths.

The quartz Rolex watches will have lettering on the face to tell you that it's a quartz movement e.g. Oysterquartz etc. If you see one without this or one that says it's an automatic, it's a fake. Yeah many real Rolexes including the one first worn by 007 didn't have a cyclops magnifier but many fakes these days do have accurate cyclopses now so that's no way to tell anymore.

My favorite isn't even mine. It's the one I just restored and serviced for a friend at work. Datejust that was a retirement piece for his father was in major need of attention. I have been doing clocks and pocket watches for quite some time and started on the wrist watches two years ago. Didn't take long for word to spread and people with higher end non-working prizes called on me. I must say.......utterly AMAZED at the level of quality and detail inside one of these! Anyone who actually does service work would have no trouble spotting a fake if open the back. Thanks so much for sharing! These are cool facts to pass along to those I know. Thanks for sharing!

The Wimbledon is my favorite but overall I love the 2 toned datejust with jubelee. There's just something about the contrasting metals that pull the ❤️ strings.

I used to have the Datejust in the two-tone jubilee, I had the blue dial. Just something about silver, blue and gold, I love the combination. Am now considering a submariner with the two-tone and blue dial also. Just so beautiful.

The first waterproof watch was exhibited at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 by W. Pettit & Co. There are several patents from the 1800’s about water proof watches and screw down crowns. The early ones are of course pocket watches but there are advertisements of ”submarine” wrist watches that are waterproof in newspapers dating back as early as 1916.

I wear a Rolex Precision that was bought new in 1964! It has been back to Rolex a couple of times for cleaning and adjustment. While it has the Oyster bracelet, this one is different in that one half of it is expandible while the other half is fixed. It had been through a lot!

My favorite is definitely the submariner. I bought the no-date submariner 2-1/2 years ago and its already selling for more than I paid for it. From what I understand that model is hard to come by, more demand than supply. No regrets. Such a great investment. I had always wanted one, ever since my dad got one in the late 60's. He probably paid around 3 or 4 hundred back then.

@gia1735 6 лет назад

My favorite Rolex is mine. GMT Master ll Black & Maroon, nicknamed the Coca-Cola. Purchased new in December 1987 for the crazy prize of $1,200. This video mentions price, but does not take into consideration the fluctuations in Exchange Rates from U.S Dollars and Swiss Francs. A weak Dollar means you need more of them to buy a Rolex. One problem with my Rolex, it sat in a Safety Deposit Box for 10 years and the Luminous Dial no longer glows.

Gents gold day date on gold bracelet or Explorer II. Got both and enjoy each as much.

@frederichenry3956 3 года назад

Interesting overview of the brand. I noticed an obvious mistake: When you mentioned that Rolex moved to Geneva, you displayed videos of the city of Bern not Geneva.

What model is the one shown at 13:40!?? I’ve never seen one with the diamond/ruby markers. Perhaps this is just a “custom” piece? I’m a _Rolex-Newbie_ ,if you will, so please I beg your pardon. Thanks in advance!
