ROLEX insider info. 8 facts you didn’t know. 

I really do hope they do away with ADs. I’m tired of the the games they play. One should be able to spend $10k on a product without kissing some AD’s a**!

The fact that you care about your videos and content but not what people think about it makes this one of the best channels. Love the honesty and cigar approach!

Rolex having boutiques would be a game changer, but they’d have to keep a decent stock and dispense with the preferred client list thing or it’d be pointless.

Time for a cheeky San Pellegrino

Sit down John...

The palm fronds were Rolex’s response to the demand for tropical dials.

Never let a watch tell you what you got time for, Johnnn. please tell me your still working john?

Great episode, man. Always enjoy watching.

Dufour is involved in the “design” of watches that have really looked the same for last 3 decades....

Hey mate, just started watching the channel, fantastic stuff! Love the photograpgy especially on the Sienna video.

The “palm fronds” are outsourced.

I think we ALLLL know the magazine feature is Penthouse.

Fair play, Oisín. You are a very generous chap with the swag and the time given to the channel. Dublin as a Rolex location! The Celtic Tiger or Phoenix must be on the horizon! Stay safe, man. ☘️

No 9: Rumor, the Palm Fronds was actually an internal joke but accidentally got mixed in with the 2021 releases. TRUE

Brilliant content again! Keep your videos coming they are excellent 🤙🏻

Great content man! Congratulations on the magazine. It would be cool to see a video on your entire watch collection along with what your grails are that you haven't yet obtained.

Frankly it all sounded pretty plausible. I've heard separately that crowns and hands for some reason are really tricky and that there are very few suppliers for them. Id be stunned if Rolex were not producing watches they could (although one could quibble over their chosen product mix - less lady datejusts would make people happy). I think the biggest issue would be rolex selling direct to consumers - I wonder what approach would they take - first come first served or preferred customer?

Love your channel. You remind me of a friend who got me into high end watches. More sophisticated than I but never failing to help me get into cigars, watches, luxury good etc. Thank you for great content.

Always great videos from you interesting, informative, and funny!! Love the views, fir your videos!!!

Great video. Love the channel. Keep up the amazing content. Been a big fan since the beginning.

I have watched the video made by tokkante when he just released it and send it around to several channel (i.e. B&J) because I thought it could disappoint some rolex fanboy but nobody took it seriously...you rule man! I appreciate your freedom!!! Cheers

Definitely glad I stumbled across your channel; enjoy the conversational style!

Thanks for sharing this fascinating insight into what goes on behind closed doors in Geneva 👍

It’s about time Rolex Boutiques roll out. Knightsbridge or Chelsea in London would be a logical locations. Beverly Hills. Monaco. I love your Speedy with the leather band! Beauty

I love the JLC Reverso Duoface, I loved it and got a steel one a while back, a great versatile watch in a class of its own. Definitely a keeper and has more wrist time that I thought it would along with a few character enhancing marks on the case. Like most of us I buy my watches to wear and openly accept that there will be some added character to the watch on my journey through life.

I sorry I'm late to the show, I really like your content. Keep up the good work.

As a new subscriber, I loved this video and all the information about Rolex and its parallels with Apple, very interesting. I have started to see more videos and they seem to me to be well done and very different from the rest of the watch channels. By the way, I live for 5 years in Greystones ( Wicklow) near your city, Dublin. Thanks for sharing.

It's almost six o'clock.

Do you use a watch winder for your collection? Does this add to wear and tear on the movement? Thank you.

Awesome!!!

Always a great video, thank you.

I watched the Tokkante video when it came out but it was great watching you going over these topics and give your view. Nicely done 👍

Great content as usual!

As always great vlog nice you are giving away your stuff who ever wins enjoy.

This one is going to cause lots of debate on the forums. 😀 Brilliant content as always. 😎. Loving that Reverso.

I’m curious what percentage of AD’s are selling to the grey market by the boatload. Considering the AD mark-up is 38%, I am also curious what the actual price would be. I think MSRP could drop a few grand.

Definitely makes sense, my AD hinted that Rolex want to be positioned as the “Patek” whereas Tudor to be the new Rolex. I like the idea of the boutique only I have a decent relationship built over a few years with my AD so would be a shame to start from scratch. I wonder what the barrier for entry would be with regards to steel with the boutiques? I hope that this doesn’t mean steel model acquisition will be equivalent to acquiring aquanauts etc. Keep them coming, excellent content as usual!

The yellow gold Reverso is stunning.. I need one of those 👍🏻

I’m sure Gringa would get this right ….anyways , enjoy yrr latte tomorrow with eggs Benedict, be well , LAAAAAATER

Next thing you know they'll be driving up the prices on homage watches.

Rolex has one of the best marketing departments in the world in my opinion and it wouldn’t make any sense for them not to sell as many watches as humanly possible

I did see his video previously. Great information. Glad you picked it up. Your greater viewership will allow the word to spread. I was wondering if you will ever do a video on your collection? I was wondering if your Yachtmaster is still there?

Another bang up job mate. Best f n channel on here 🍺

Is the magazine Hodinkee? In my opinion this channel is absolutely deserving of some big headliners. Cheers 🥃

Saw the video also, great bit of info from behind the green curtain.

I immediately thought of Kevin O’Leary too when you were saying that! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA he doesn’t get it

I’ll say one thing about Marc Goldberg and his so called money penny source. He was the only RU-vidr with inside information who correctly announced the batgirl and Pepsi returning to an oyster bracelet prior to watches and wonders 2021.

Great video!!

I sort of doubted this but it all makes sense, especially when I heard the bit about Rolex boutiques which is completely in line with many of the Rolex AD's pulling out of downtown Chicago. It'll be an interesting next few years...

It's almost six o'clock...

IMO the Daytona rumour was spread by the grey dealer network to bump up prices, and it worked a treat. The grey dealers love a 'discontinued' watch

By the way Oisin, the JLC reverso is fitting perfectly your wrist. Super class

Love the channel!! 👍

Great video, I couldn't have said it better myself! LOL

nice dunk on marc goldberg

When you make it out to San Francisco just pick a restaurant everything is on me. Would be cool to meet been following from the beginning.✌🏽

Great as usual. Thank you.

Glad to know the Daytona won't change for a few years... holding out for the Darth/Tie fighter. Any chance of a signed Arena Homme+ magazine? ;)

Interesting stuff. The Rolex boutiques are welcome news, finally we may have direct access to their watches and not have to pay way above retail through the secondary channels. Loving that classy JLC pairs nicely with that high quality strap. Here’s a watch that may suit you - IWC Portugieser with the red dial. Pure class, will go nicely with your style. Very much a double take piece. Looking forward to reading the Arena Homme+ article and thought your participation on Archie Luxury was a blast, right on the money about some online dealers coming across as car salesmen knowing little about silicon hair springs and the like. Onwards and upwards!

Great video. Congrats on the mag feature. My local Rolex AD in North West England is ridiculous. I've been on a "wait list" for a sub for 18 months but they've now said I need to buy other watches if I want one. They've also claimed they've only had 2 subs in over the last 12 months. I find the latter very hard to believe - and if it were true, then it wouldn't make any difference how many DayDates I bought would it....

Valuable info, there ! Though, I think we all have at least ten times as more top priority questions to ask high postioned Rolex officials ! Anyway, every pice of inside information is much appreciated !!!

Congratulations on the layout looks awesome 😎 From South Florida 🌴🏴‍☠️

Great video!! The Rolex boutique would change the watch market massively !!

Very engaging presentation. Thanks

Great Video Oisin , By the way it’s interesting that the Ben Bridge Chain is doing major construction here in San Diego and building a huge upgraded ROLEX BOUTIQUE inside the Ben Bridge store . I’ll post some photos tomorrow as I am picking up a new GMT Batman that I just got the call on . My AD told me that it’s a major project that Ben Bridge and Rolex are partnering on . So I wonder if we are starting to see exactly what you mentioned on your video . Usually Ben Bridge locations have a small area usually no more than 25 sq M . From the looks of the site the new Rolex Boutique inside of Ben Bridge is well over double that size . I’ll try to post pics for you all to see .

That’s right - most of the parts from Rolex (indices and so on ) are outsourced even part of the movement as well

I also heard Rolex saying they are manufacturers and not dealers. Everyone always has “inside” information.

Rolex boutique in Vancouver is where I go. Such a beautiful store with amazing staff.

Nice video.👍🏻

Congratulations man. You deserve it! Great conversational company, drink, watch loco as myself, cigars have their damn place, just like single malt Islay Scotch. Cudos.

Thank you for the video

That would be wopper if a Rolex boutique came to Dublin. Love the channel by the way!!!

Pretty interesting video. Thanks!

Cool insights

awesome video! Curious if you've ever considered doing a review of Tudor Heritage Chronograph? Cheers

Love the channel

Great info

Very cool video and information….

It seems unlikely that any of us are going to go hear it from him. But I’ll give him a look after this 👌🏻

We were never switching channels Oisin as well you knew! 😂👍

Do Carl Friedrik make gold clasps for their straps? I find the silver clasp doesn‘t look good ob your gold reverso.

So this billion dollar company couldn't produce any more stainless Steel models a year... I'm sorry but that is Total BS. Maybe they have reached factory limitations, Fair enough, but what's stopping them Building a second or third factory?? It would pay for itself in 6 months. They know exactly what they are doing, don't believe a word. And it's the same deal with outsourcing. They are resourceful enough to sort such a tiny obstacle if they chose too.

Cigar Aficionado. Nice straps. Nice vid. Keep at it.

Why would anyone think the Daytona would have an overhaul 6 years into its latest production. Glad we cleared that up.

:-( I can't find the unboxing of the JLC? Coming soon? Coming or was this it?

Great show guys. 😉 🇬🇧

Hands from outside Rolex has been known about for a while but didn’t know about the others or the polishing, demand has outstripped supply for the last few years but don’t tell anyone as conspiracists won’t like that. A Rolex boutique would be awesome, but at what cost to the AD network, also the problem of lack of stock won’t go away. Shame about the Daytona not gaining a MM or two, would help its readability. Finally, as for the Speedy, well that looks just stunning on a strap as it is a strap monster. A good video, interesting to get an ‘insight’ into the world of the mighty Rolex. Thanks.

You DEFINITELY are my FAVORITE IRISHMAN Oisin 💚😇🌻🎼🙏☮️ Cheers from Massapequa, Long Island

Great content..... smoother than a cashmere cod-piece. 😎

Dos Equis beer missed their shot - you Oisin, are indeed, THE World’s Most Interesting Man! So we can now call the dubious (read hideous) 2021 dial “The Dufour Fronds” (or the French - which sounds better - Les Feuilles de Palmier du Dufour - with an emphasis on the “doo-doo).

Keep going .. enjoying this so much ... :-)

The Rolex boutique would be great. I have said it for years. They "should" have every model. You should be able to place your order there and if not pick it up there, you could have it delivered through your choice AD. Imagine though, just going into a boutique that has absolutely every model (again, maybe you couldn't take delivery) but you could order. At least you could try on and actually hold, touch, feel what you are dropping $10K + dollars on. Would be great. May not be able to get your watch faster, but you would feel a lot better about dropping the money!

I saw the orginal video, but of course had to watch yours. On those straps, and other leather goods they do look great. 19mm will fit the older smaller speedys. Not only Carl's straps, I often shake my head on people who will only use OEM's, and look down on those who buy quality aftermarket. Wanted the blue rubber silicon strap for my Seamaster 300m, if you can find one the price is over $600, bought a Zealande strap on sale off Amazon, plus used some credit. Quality is on par, only major difference is it uses a buckle and tang, which saves you even more if you have to snag an Omega clasp, which I admit looks and functions a little better, but it's under your wrist, not a major issue. I want to check Carls website out for myself. It's also good you have a good sponsor, one must have money to make quality video's, of which I say yours is. And FWIW, not going to go for the give away, and I watch all or most of your stuff.

Great content as always. I thought Rolex already had some boutiques around. At least near me in Miami there is a boutique by them. Not sure if it’s something new that they are trying to roll out.

O, you do a great job. Hope to see you in Venice

Thanks o very interesting

Great to here about the Rolex store in Dublin that would be great. As you know the shopping experience here is rubbish, we need a lot of brands to open up there own stores here like London.

Great information,still think it won’t make a jot of a difference trying to get hold of the popular models at retail.

Love the content as always my friend. I always wanted to get into cigars. Any chance you could send a big fan a package to start my interest? Worth a shot haha

Nice watch straps! 😁👍
