My Dad Unboxing His New Rolex 

+Ryan Graves He got laid off yesterday.

Ryan Graves Word!

Ryan Graves Yep

Thats called a career, not a job. If you like what you're doing and make good money off it, why not stay until you're ready to retire? Seems like you've never worked a day in your life or have only held shitty jobs.

2stepracing he's making a shit load of money. Why not stay for 35 years. No companies give out gifts like that anymore. Except for multi billion dollar companies like Halliburton

War profiteers

Darrell Tuttle good advice I wear an old datejust thunderbird from the 90s and love having the watch winder for days I’m not wearing it

Why put it in a winder and put all that unnecessary wear on the movement? The best thing one can to to a watch when he’s not wearing it, is letting it rest. Just keep that in mind.

You could not be more wrong, horologically speaking

He wasn't working for a Rolex, but thanks for trying :D

Yeah what kind of stupid comment is that?

+xxDrCsterxx Well then you'd be wrong. The DateJust pre-dates the Submariner by almost a decade, to this day outsells the Submariner, and was the first self winding watch with a date.

ZCT808 what is the most faked watch in the world? submariner. I've had people call out my sub from seeing the bracelet alone. Submariner is most often the word after rolex, and is the benchmark for dive watches even today. Just because it's the first doesn't make it more iconic. The f series ford was around way before the mustang, but the mustang is the most iconic car ford makes.

xxDrCsterxx How would you or anyone else know which watch is the most faked? The whole point about counterfeit watches is they are illegal copies. It's not like they get them COSC certified or anything. I'm just saying that the DateJust outsells the Submariner by quite a wide margin and has for years. As for the Ford, it depends who you ask. I was just in Nebraska last week, they have entire dealerships that sell nothing but Ford trucks. I'm thinking if you asked someone living around there, they'd answer the F-150. In any case, this is a pointless discussion, and we're done.

ZCT808 LOL its a known fact, ask any wis and they will tell you the same thing. Sure maybe one state but ask someone around the world what they think of when you say ford, the overwhelming response will be mustang. As i own both watches i can say the sub gets far more recognition from people off the street.

looks like they are trying to get views and whatever from the video. They literally just saved the video and uploaded it. I will contact RU-vid and get this taken care of, thanks.

TY I put in a former complaint with youtube and filled out the form.

the video is removed, ty again

TheDaringPastry1313 Sure, np! :-)

Ray Peterson Those are solid gold links. They are not plated.

+mac daddy Omegas have the white outer box with Omega logo and the red inner case (some have the ribbon type, others use the older grey colour scheme) Personally, I don't mind Rolex's use of green, but if you're forking out 5,000+ on a Rolex watch brand new, the box could have been lacquered wood. The outer box I don't mind, since Omega is essentially the same.

+mac daddy Perhaps you've never seen a real one. The packaging is not cheap or nasty in real life. Also, once you've opened it, you carefully put the box and papers away in a safe place and never look at them again. Are you really willing to pay an extra $300 for the watch so that it comes in expensive packaging you look at only once? Or would you rather the money go into the actual timepiece?

ZCT808 I was given one as a gift and I happily sold it. Horrible ugly green box, cheap wipe cloth, crappy certificate and a watch that couldn't keep good time. I am happy its gone.

+mac daddy This conversation is descending into stupidity here dude. First off, why are you so hung up about the fucking box? You buy a watch, take it out of the box, put the box away, and never look at it again until you sell the watch. If I spend $10K on a Rolex, some of that money goes to the retail, some goes to Rolex. Do I want them to invest as much of my money as possible on a box, or the watch? Or do I want to pay $500 more for a fancy box? Secondly, you're going to whine about a 'cheap wipe cloth' in a free Rolex you were allegedly given? What a dick! Someone gives you a free Rolex and you whine about the wipe cloth? Thirdly, I'm not sure what 'certificate' you are referring to. Rolex watches come with a warranty card, not a 'certificate.' And finally, Rolex watches are COSC certified as Chronometers. Since July of last year, they don't even leave the factory if they can't hit -2 to +2. I've only owned two, but they kept perfect time. I'm wearing one right now, supremely accurate. You're either lying, or you were given some old junker that needed service, or a fake. Because honestly, if your appraisal of Rolex were common, they would not have become the powerhouse they are today, putting out a million watches that people happily pay big money for.

+mac daddy I personally like the green box and it is well made. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but lets not be rude about getting that opinion across.

+Junior Hinten why is it sad. He seems pretty successful. Look at the house around him. Seems pretty nice. Also looks like he's raised a decent family. The guy shooting the video is his son and seems like a fine guy.

+2stepracing It's not that simple to start your own company. Are you 10 or what?

That’s the truth

+TheDaringPastry1313 haha, its a beautiful watch and I'm guessing he saves it for special occasions. Very nice video, thanks for sharing and I hope he wears it more often :)

+TheDaringPastry1313 should return it then.

I think you should get your dad a beater watch, a Hamilton or Tudor will do it.

beautiful, i would wearing it to work everyday!

Why? Doesn't he like it?

he's a real man that why!

+Landon Harrington men can show emotion

I was just joking.

Special Mango Hes Blown Away By Its Beauty He Can Barley Even Speak

+Special Mango you don't think he is excited? Would it help that he did research on two different watches for months trying to determine which one he wanted to get? He read and kept reading to make sure he got the very best. I promise you he was very excited....I think he mentioned getting a Rolex up to 10 years ago when he decided to use his 25th anniversary gift to get some amazing cookware for my mom. So yes, even though he might not show it...He was VERY excited

+ty gable Work for Halliburton ?

I dont actually. i just love rolex watches and i have even started a savings account devoted to buying one. lol.

nice haha it is crazy how many parts they have and they are 100% hand made. it is mind blowing how much work goes into watches

cee dee try $12500. Just priced one

next week is my 1st year anniversary working at bk lol i wonder if I'm gonna get a free large #1 XD

who knows... 35 years is a really long time.

i mean you said yourself in the annotation your dad was let go! because of oil prices etc.. so I doubt the watch thing will live on.

He was let go because of a slow down and he has a high salary. They could fire an older person, get someone with some experience, and then pay that person way less.

The oil patch is a boom and bust industry. If he was at big red for 35 years there's a good chance it wasn't his first layoff. If he made it through the 80s and early 2000s thats impressive.
