Rolex Submariner 41 - UNBOXING & UP CLOSE!!! 

Confirmation once again (not that any was needed!) that this fellow produces the very finest watch videos in the whole of RU-vid Land.....

I finally gave up trying to buy a no-date after over a year and multiple ADs gave me the same runaround. Oh do you want to be on our waiting list. Oh how many watches have you bought from us before. Oh we have some in the back but those are for our special customers. Meanwhile walked across the hall from the Rolex AD into the Omega boutique to pick up a new 300M. God it’s so frustrating. Wanted one but just absolutely am not going to play the games anymore.

I’m surprised Rolex hasn’t reached out to this gentleman directly to do some marketing videos for them. His channel is simply art.

Just picked mine up from AD yesterday- A watch I’ve wanted for many years! Finally re watching this video as an owner. Merry Christmas 🎄

By far the maxi case now looks like a legend instead of this 41mm case with 21mm lug and oversize clasp. It is way too big on my 6-1/2” wrist size. After trying it on at the AD decided to appreciate the 40mm maxi case. Long live 40mm, perfect in every way.

I haven’t been feeling to Christmasy until I heard “Ode to Joy”. It really brightened my spirit. 2020 has been a crappy year for many of us but being able to travel the world through watch enthusiasts like yourself has made 2020 a lot brighter. A wonderful video as always. Merry Christmas to you and your daughter. Christmas blessings to all who enjoy your RU-vid channel. Hello from snowy Calgary

You're the only other person to highlight the change in turning the crown to adjust the time; which has now become counter intuitive. Gr8 Venice background, gr8 lume shot too. Clasp is slightly wider, thanks for highlighting that subtle change.

I am in love. I love when you do special videos like this, and the 126610 deserves nothing less. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

It's not just the watches (and the beautiful music, production and camera work) but your take on what matters and what doesn't is refreshing. It's like listening to an old friend who puts your anxieties and irritations in a very small cardboard box, and then throws it deftly into a canal.

The Pontiff’s watch!!

Sláinte, Oisín. Way to go bro, enjoy the watch. Happy Christmas and enjoy the break. ☘️ 🎄

Great work, it’s amazing the difference in the feel with small changes. Take note guys , treat yourself during this tuff period if you can, I did , only a BB 58 blue but it has imported some joy and happiness in me. Great unboxing and cheers to everyone this Christmas. ❤️❤️👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

This is my dream watch. I wish I could buy one. Thank you for this video and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Fabulous video as usual. For the past couple of days I've rewatched the previous Rolex unboxing videos on the channel in preparation for this. Excellent stuff!

I can confirm without a doubt, that the new card has all the private information on a chip in the card. When I bought my 214270 in October, I was unboxing it with my AD, and my phone was on the table, and the NFC part of my phone kept trying to connect to the warranty card. My AD, told me to just close the screen, and he entered all the info from his phone.

This is way better than Rolex’s own predictable marketing ads. Merry Christmas TTWC, here’s to 2021!

Merry Christmas to you too. Always enjoy your channel and hoping next year’s a bit better. Cheers.

I absolutely love the new 41mm. I got lucky and got one from my AD pretty quick. I am more of a five digit Rolex guy, but the 41mm to me looks like the perfect meld between classic proportions and the newer, modern style. Rolex clearly sweated all of the little details with this one and absolutely nailed it.

Merry Christmas Oisin! Congrats on the new watch! Cheers, John

The difference between the 2 is 0.2mm, 40.3mm for the old and 40.5mm for this model. Wish they did a 42mm like for the gold yatchmaster.

An absolute revolution in cutting edge watchmaking, way ahead of its time!!! Thanks for posting this.

Have one of these on the way so looking forward to this review.

Congratulations on the new Sub. I had never pulled the glide lock completely out on mine but had to check to see if the AD missed that sticker as you illustrated. Sure enough, it’s still there after nearly 2 years on the wrist. ☺️ I love how much I learn from watching your content. Thank you for sharing.

And a very merry Christmas to you too!

Perfect video. Love your content! This has me very excited to be getting my own soon as my AD has hinted I may be getting “the call” early next year to coincide with the birth of my first child. 👌🏼

Excellent review. I just nabbed the 124060 and it’s an absolute stunner. These 41s are very well done and a welcome upgrade in my opinion

Only last Saturday I also was lucky enough to get my new Rolex Explorer II. I'm extremely happy as it is a nice contrast with my Sub. Merry Christmas to us, nice to treat ourselves with something special after a crappy year like this.

Merry Christmas! I want to share a Christmas story that has to do with you. A few weeks ago, I was re-watching one of my favorite of your videos: the Seiko Alpinist Sarb017 in Cortina. My wife (an Olympic skier) was taken by the beauty of your film and sat down next to me to enjoy the piece. I thought she was merely swept up by the majesty of the Dolomites as presented through your exquisite camera work and music (which she was) - but she's also clever that one. Sure enough, under the tree on Christmas morning was a brand new, unworn, Alpinist Sarb017! This is not the kind of watch I would normally purchase for myself (I'm a bit of a Rolex/Omega/Breitling snob), but I absolutely LOVE it! Thank you for your brilliant filmmaking - especially that one!

beautiful, enjoy that masterpiece, cheers!

Congrats on the purchase, looks amazing, wear it in good health!! Hoping to get one in 2021.

No this is how you do an unboxing. 🥂 Every unboxing should be a celebration 🍾

Archie this is how you unbox a submariner with class!

I missed a bunch of stickers on my Batman. I was still removing stickers a month or two later. Hehehe And a Merry Christmas to you too!

Congratulations Oisin! Great video as always.

Beautiful watch indeed and great presentation as always. You bring lot's of joy in owning these beautiful watches and it's always a pleasure to watch you show them off and tell the stories as you do. Congrats on the purchase and Merry Christmas to you!

Hey ! You and Archie are now watch pals! He just got himself one of these. :). Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. Thank you so much for all your fantastic work in 2020.

Awesome watch, awesome video, awesome bubbly! Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year! 2021 will be better eventually! In the meantime we have your exquisite videos to watch!

Nice addition to your awesome collection. Merry Christmas and thanks for all your content. It makes a difference.

Nice Xmas present, congrats and wear it in good health 👍🏾

Top class. A nice one to enjoy over Christmas. Enjoy!

Seems like a very fitting end to 2020. Congrats on the new watch and wishing you a Merry Christmas!

"Ode to Joy" ! How appropriate opening !!! So, Beethoven, Berlucchi and Rolex ! You are ending this troublesome year on a high note, my friend ! You keep enjoying your watches and we shall revel in fine art of your videos ! You have my Best Wishes for a Happy New Year !!!

Thanks for the fantastic videos this year Oisin. Keep safe.

Happy Christmas Oisin !! ..and thank you so much for all the superb videos in 2020 ...really helped people get through a dark period !! Enjoy the festive period ...Stay safe and well ...and all the best for 2021

40 mm stopped, 41 mm launched. Reminds me off „The king is dead. Long live the king!“. Congratulations on the new Rolex! Ode to joy is a very good choice to open this video. Thank you for all the great videos this year. It made a difference to my day during lockdown. The combination of watches and stunning locations in Italy is great. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

I was expecting this one for so long... turning off the lights, pouring the wine, turning on the AC and enjoying the production. Congratulations on the watch and video!

Merry Christmas to you Mate! Another great video!

Nice to see you treated yourself at the end of a rotten year. I managed to get hold of a new Steel 36mm OP with the silver dial and yellow gold hands and hour markers. Not quite a Subby, but it's a fine addition to my collection, and from an AD to boot. Keep up the great work sir.

The older subs from the mid 80’s with 3035 movement reference 16800 also would set the time that way . Congratulations and merry Christmas 🎁🎄

Perfectly executed video, I was actually sick with covid 19 and was only able to watch a few minutes when this video came out. I'm ok now and finally found time to watch this video from beginning to end. Gorgeous watch and something tells me when your AD calls you to pick up a 2021 Submariner identical to this one you will not hesitate to pick it up. Enjoy it in good health. 🙂

I’ve enjoyed this video so much! The excitement and happiness of having this watch is felt through the screen! 😄

I love Rolex. I love Christmas. I very much enjoy your unboxing videos. You do it right! Merry Christmas and cheers mate!

Maybe those abrasions are from you laying the watch on the ground and on tables (if they’re steel tables) when you were taking your photos and videos?!

Thanks for the video. Enjoy the watch as well as the holidays, merry Christmas to you all!

Congratulations and happy holidays! A great video!

You managed to get one!! I recall one of your previous videos when they were first released about you wishing for this piece. Congratulations. Another RU-vid masterclass. Enjoy in great health, have a very Merry Christmas TWC, cheers to you!!

Beautiful! I was blessed today to get the call from my AD to pick up my new Tiffany Blue OP. I'll show everyone on my next show... Cheers Mate, and Merry Christmas!!! MK

Merry Christmas & a healthy new year Oisin, thanks for all your hard work this difficult year.

Thanks for this Vid!

What I learned from my WSET Level 3 course (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) something I recommend all wine enthusiasts to take, if not level 3 take level 2. You have Traditional method which involves completing a 2nd fermentation in the bottle - this is Champagne, Cava and Franciorta. Then you have Tank method which is cheaper process and involves 2nd fermentation in a big tank - Prosecco and Lambrusco. Great video, I bought my first sub in Mar-2020 during the 1st wave and I am extremely happy as I prefer the more elegant bracelet of the old sub to this new wider bracelet.

Lovely cinematography at the start 🙂 Congrats and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the info on the wider bracelet. I love my 2018 seamaster bracelet and the sub seemed too small almost before. Merry Christmas and thanks for your great content in 2020, helped my start into watches this year and helped my lack of travel !

Congrats ! My brother and I watched this together. Our first time together since last Christmas, so I’m feeling very happy today. Thanks for an inspiring year of travelogues and videography and more importantly, the tales.

The best videography and content of all watch reviews! Well done! Merry Xmas!

Another amazing video. Much love and happy holidays!

Brilliant addition to the lineup...and a great trade. The images with brick in the background are outstanding! 👏👏 Cheers!🥂

New to the channel relatively and love your style and content. From one bass player to another Cheers and Merry Christmas.

Cheers to 2021. Love your videos, one and all.

I'm 30 seconds in and completely blown away by the opening scenes. Outstanding, Oisin, simply outstanding

This was a classier unboxing than Archie did 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congrats my friend hopefully will be getting the call for mine soon in the upcoming year really like the new case layout merry Christmas 🎄

Another well done video, I’d love a no date version myself

Congratulations and happy holidays!!

Top drawer as usual Oisin, thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Congratulations on your new watch,have a great Christmas and thanks again for the great content looking forward to some more in the new year all being well 🤞cheers 👍

Great Video review. I sure miss your traveling videos as you duck into a neighborhood pub for some drinks! Loved the Montegrappa local last year around the same time.

Merry Christmas Oisin. Congratulations on the new addition, wear it well!

The best way to describe your videos in two words : Pure Art

Banging job, well done, cheers to you!

Stunning video

Love the videos have a great Christmas

Congrats on the New addition to your collection. Merry Christmas and a happy New Years! cheers

Congratulations on the new watch, thanks for the video!

For some reason, this is the first Sub I’d purchase! Well, except for an older no date. Well done Rolex!

I missed this type of vids !!! Make more bro.

Merry Christmas, Oisin. Thank you so much for bursting your arse and producing quality videos throughout this difficult year. It's quite remarkable considering all the gloom and doom going around. Congratulations on your new Sub. This 126610ln is much nicer than its predecessor 116610ln IMHO, thanks to the redesigned lugs, which to me makes all the difference. Its not about the 0.3mm larger case, I can't tell the difference. I got myself the latest TT Bluesy 126613lb, very happy.

Quite simply the best watch content on You Tube. New Patreon member as well. Keep up the great work and thank you. I love my DJ41 Blue Dial but celebrated Christmas early with a new watch purchase today - the CASIO G-SHOCK GMW-B5000TB-1JR Black Titanium - The OG as they say - I am a bit of a G shock nerd and have been after this one for a while to add to my square collection. Super psyched. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Great video as always! I love my Submariner date 41! The perfect timepiece imo.

you're two tone was just soo much nicer! but ye still a gorgeous watch but I love the two tones

Congrats. Great way to kick 2020 to the curb... My AD says I’m on a wait list for it. Maybe, maybe not. I sure hope so. Can’t stop thinking about it. God I’m addicted. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Wishing you nothing but good things in 2021

Thank you for the video. Happy holiday.

Finished 2020 off with a new SD43 from my AD - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Your videos bring me joy

Great show thanks very much ,merry Christmas to you and all your subscribers. 🇬🇧

Congratulations on the new watch Oisin and wishing you a happy Christmas from Northern Ireland - take care

Congrats on your new sub and Merry Christmas, wear it in good health and enjoy the journey

Just found your channel. I find your videos to be extremely relaxing and enjoyable. Keep up the great work

Great video Oisin, would love to see a state of the collection video sometime, you have some very interesting pieces 👍 keep up the great work!

Congratulations on the new Submariner! Fantastic watch to wrap up 2020. I wrapped up the year with the 126610LV myself! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Wishing everyone and the world a much better 2021

Excellent video, thank you for sharing the bubbly and your new watch. The scenery is terrific. The very best to you throughout 2021. Merry Christmas.
