The person who said the Sub doesn't garner a second glance isn't just right about the Sub, they're right about ALL watches. I think watch enthusiasts need to understand that 99.9% of people don't care what you have on your wrist. If you're trying to purchase a Rolex or any luxury watch to impress other people or "flex" outside of a few Instagram photos, you're going to be VERY disappointed. You might get a quick glance, but people aren't going to line up and compliment you. Most people won't even notice what you're wearing in the first place. It's important to get the watch you want to please yourself and NOT a watch to please the people around you. If you get a compliment, that should be icing on the cake: but not the deciding factor driving the wheel. You'll save yourself a LOT of money and buyer's remorse this way. Cheers!

The person who said the nautilus is ugly is my hero! I can’t stand how ugly that watch is. Patek makes some bangers and that is not one of them. The hype on the nautilus is unreal man. And I’d also agree that AP is a one-trick pony. No one buys anything else but the Royal oak. They shouldn’t be part of the “holy trinity” imo

Charlie a happy Sunday to you😊I enjoy the answering viewers questions. Some are rather funny what people think. I’m big fan of Daytona but Speedmaster is definitely a great watch it has such great history and I think it’s more bang for your money. Daytonas especially Panda has massive hype and Rolex has created a big demand for limiting availability.

True everywhere in the world. An AD sales put it right: I don’t know you, even do, our relationship won’t make me give you thousands of cash gift? Will you? If I sell you at retail price a hot piece, you can flip and make thousands, then why should I not doing it myself?

To be honest I think the Speedmaster Pro is a far nicer chronograph for a man than the Daytona as it’s just too busy. I actually had the offer of a Daytona in the AD a long time back as well as a SkyDweller more recently (I have a good buying history of other Rolex from them) and the Daytona looks more like a lady’s watch and the SkyDweller although beautiful was just a bit too brick-like for me. I’m not the only one in my watch collectors circle that thinks that either. Obviously if they offered me a Daytona now I’d take it lol.

@dannysimenauer5745 10 месяцев назад

HWD answers a question about comparing which watch is a better value for the "money" at 10:33: the Omega Speedmaster or the Rolex Daytona. However, as a Rolex biased dealer, HWD never answered the question. I do not plan on doing a feature-to-feature comparison-- there are plenty of videos. The Omega offers great value because it is much lower in price, and does have history with the NASA space program, and holds it value over time. Rolex offers great value because if you are lucky enough to buy one at retail from an AD, the watch appreciates. Bottom line, you decide if the lower price or the price appreciation is more important to you.

@RocketDog73 11 месяцев назад

With the Rolex watches on the grey market - were they purchased in the UK or are they purchased abroad? If they are from dealers abroad will they have had UK duty and taxes paid on them? I ask as we all know that insurance companies will get out of paying anything if they can and if they were to find out that a watch that was imported did not have the due taxes paid they would worm out of paying. Another concern would be if the original purchases claimed the watch was stolen after selling it and you only find out ten years down the line after sending it to Rolex for a service. What provenance other than the box and tags does the seller provide? Would the original sales receipt form part of the provenance or would that be some breach of current data protection laws? I really want to get a Rolex but there are so many hurdles……

@thehonestwatchdealer 11 месяцев назад

So if you buy from a reputable dealer numerous checks will be carried out that show the watch has not been stolen or had any insurance claims made against it - you need to make sure you get evidence of this from the dealer. Regarding the insurance, shouldn’t be affected from overseas watches at all. I hope this helps!

Looking at Chrono, they have dropped in the last 3 months and still dropping over the last one month.

@user-yp6in8nl9z 11 месяцев назад

it makes sense for a secondary market dealer to convince everyone the list doesn't exist, because that will just dissuade people from being patient and to head on over to their stores to make their purchases at heavy margins. the list does exist and it is attached to your customer profile with the authorized dealer. if you're not getting a watch within a few months, the dealer likely suspects you're at risk of not keeping the watch and flipping it. I went to an AD with no spend history in December expressing interest in a particular dj41. The AD took my information down and said he would be in touch and let me know when the allocation would open up to order it. I was contact 10 days later to come in and place a deposit for the order, and I received the exact model I wanted in 3 weeks. this was followed by a black bay chrono a month later, and another dj41 2 months later. The dealer has a list and read it off to me when I picked up the last watch about the other watches I am interested in.

8:47 my problem with the air king is how it looks. It looks like if you fed an AI a hundred pictures of Rolex and told it to make a new design, it would make the air king. I know it has a vast and very impactful history but it doesn't work for me.

I have owned many Rolexes and I love the brand, I just find it infuriating that you’ve to go through a ridiculous charade at a Rolex dealer before they will agree to sell you a watch. It’s a double edge sword though, would I like it as much if was as easy to buy as an omega ? Of course not !!!!!

@thehonestwatchdealer 10 месяцев назад

Very true! Double edged sword indeed. You are right though, the hoops you have to jump through is ridiculous 😅

@bigdaveo397 11 месяцев назад

If you're an AD then this is your side gig. Sell the most sought after models to your favoured clients. Who immediately re sell the watch for the usual inflated price. Split the profits. Everyone's a winner Except all those of us who'd actually like to buy and own a rolex

I live here in Australia and I've never heard nor seen a new Rolex being available on the grey market lower than retail. This must be a joke. I go to the OS websites and prices are nearly double to what they are here due to the currency conversion. So this information is irrelevant. I have checked the prices on your website and I can see that the prices are at a minimum double to what the prices are here at retail.

Because they are more affordable, if you don’t want a flashy watch, you don’t buy a Rolex, that simple. Too heavy is a ridiculous reason and we were talking about a difference of ounces not pounds.

Everyone knows how well made Rolex’s are but the submariner is the most copied watch out there and that’s why I wouldn’t have one, when I see anyone wearing a submariner I always think is it or isn’t it because from a distance you can’t tell and probably you wouldn’t tell even up close, sad but true

Seriously - in which area Rolex is better then Omega other than marketing ? Rub the Logos off and let’s discuss !! 😅

@youtubeuser8436 11 месяцев назад

100% true! A Rolex Daytona is never ever better then the Omega Moonwatch! For decades, the Daytona lay like lead on the shelves and could only be sold with a lot of discount. Then, a few years ago, the hype around this watch began, just because a Hollywood star, who 99% of today's young people do not even know, wore this watch in a movie. How can such a watch have more history and prestige than a watch that was on the moon?! Here, the wearing of a watch by an actor in a film is portrayed as more significant than the greatest event of mankind, namely the moon landing. That is ridiculous! Of course, the Moonwatch is much better than the Daytona!

- Comfort in bracelets - Comfort in case sizes and shapes - Control over their product lineups, they don’t over saturate the market with variations of their own watches - better service intervals - resale value, which is almost unfair as it’s just a factor of Rolex being so much more desirable - design, as proven by the massive amount of other brands who copy the design of popular Rolex products. Sub, Daytona, GMT M2, and more. - quality control. Rolex makes and sells more watches than Omega each year and yet…. - Rolex has historically done a much better job steering trends. Recently you can look at the colorful OP range and then the aqua terra range to follow….
