I love rolex. It’s my favorite brand next to Patek and audemars. I’ve got a gmt pepsi as well as a Batman and I love them and wouldn’t trade them for the world.
You have a $10 watch that keeps better time than a watch costing hundreds of thousands of times as much. Even if you bought a modern day Rolex. *Rolex owners: "YoU DoNt GeT iT."* Um....yeah I do. There are some tulips I'd like to sell you.
Anonymous a Rolex isn’t something you buy to simply keep the time, it’s a medal on your wrist which reminds you of how far you’ve gotten, the struggles, and your overall succes. It’s something you buy for yourself when you’ve accomplished something truly unique and spectacular. That’s why people buy rolexes. And you just have to be into watches, AP, Patek, Jaeger, I could go on all day.
Rolex watches are not the best or most accurate watches. They are really mid tier luxury. Rolex use to be the Craftsmen tools of watches for the everyday man before 1980. However, they are the best all around watches in regards to a combination of luxury, utility, durability, prominence, design, & build quality. What makes Rolex collectible is limited production, and the small variations between Rolex models. What these collectors look for is vintage, original, rarity, unpolished in working condition. What adds to where Rolex is as a brand is marketing. Just about every Hollywood movie, no matter how wealthy or blue collar a character is portrayed. You will find a Rolex on a wrist of that character. If you want a more accurate watch there's Grand Seiko. If you want to go one step up from Rolex in terms of heritage/luxury, there's Jaeger LeCoultre. If you want to go to the pinnacle of watches, there's Patek Philippe. If you want Rolex quality (for some arguably a better brand) with an affordable price, look into Omega (my go to watch is the Speedmaster. first watch worn on the moon NASA issued watches).
@@KarbineKyle Try not to travel into the US with a Radium dial watch. You will have TSA in panic mode. These new naked body scanners pick up anything radioactive. I've heard some stories of Homeland security confiscating vintage watches.
That radium-226 lumed Rolex wouldn't be of concern. You can wear it, and be just fine. Just don't open it and intentionally ingest or inhale the lume. Using the inverse square law, when you move away from it, the radiation flux decreases exponentially. Also, he had a pretty cheap dosimeter. A Ludlum model 12 or an Inspector USB Geiger-Müller counter would be far better! Also, always measure in counts/minute or counts/second, AKA CPM or CPS, NOT μSv/h or mR/h, UNLESS it's calibrated to the same radionuclide that your source is that you're measuring! I see this happen far too much. I collect radioactive sources, and watches are just one of them. No, I don't have a Rolex yet. I'd rather have a Patek Phillipe, with radium of course. But, I doubt that I could ever afford one or the other anyway. So, yeah. Don't scrap your radium watches! Sell them, if you're that concerned.
Place was littered by eagle eyed security gaurds ...camered to ..Trust yes stupidity No ..These guys had earnt the trust and oppertunity to be invited ..Amazeing exsperiance ...Thankyou for shearing
If you're $10,000 watch is indistinguishable from a Chinese copy.... And if you have to take it to the store to validated and see if it's original or not..... Mmmhhh maybe you pay too much
I want to know prices🤷♀️it's annoying when people act like money is no big deal to them, but they're at an event that's all about consumerism and luxury goods
They are beyond Rolex. Rolex is mid tier luxury compared to what Rap artists are wearing. Check out Hodinkee RU-vid channel you'll see Praz a serious & respected watch collector.
800$ is a drop in the ocean compared to the money they’ve spent on their collections, and an even smaller drop in the ocean compared to the assets they own altogether. They’re passionate about collecting vintage timepieces the same as some are passionate about collecting vintage cars. Do people drive their collector cars everyday? No.
