Should you buy a vintage Rolex Datejust 36? 

Rolex 36 beats both JLC (looks wise not movement wise) and Omega, but no that Zenith, Zenith looks phenomenal.

I bought a 1992 two tone datejust 36 for my 30th birthday. replaced the bracelet with a strap at first, but now im loving the vintage vibe of the oyster bracelet. the five digit serial is the best imo. vintage feel with the sapphire crystal.

I have a 1970 ref1601 silver dial with diamond numbers and ref16030 Buckley dial 1984 with 3.5ct diamond bezel, my birth year. Love these timepieces.

Thanks for the video, informative and enjoyable.

1990’s DateJust are the most beautiful watches ever made. Much better understated beauties than the new models.

The Rolex is better than the other watches you showed IMO because its understated, elegant and more rugged. It is just the pefect one watch, IMO.

I own a 1601 from 1971 and it is perfect! I wear it daily and it feels just perfect!

I just picked up a 1978 16013 on the original USA oval 14k jubilee. In the 70's many USA Rolex Datejust's would have the Jacob Bender Champion USA jubilee installed as Rolex contracted them out to make the bands to help reduce the import tax.

Love the vintage ones and new ones

I own a 1973 1603, I love it

I’m very attracted to the 92 datejust just because it’s my birth year, but I’m new to watches and don’t wanna go too expensive too soon. Great video.

I purchased one from a pawn shop about four years ago. Mine is a 2006 version, I love the damn thing.

I would never pay 5/6+ thousand for an old Datejust. I did however spend less than a 1/5th of that on a beautiful Korean case, gen dial/crystal/crown/bezel/datewheel franken build and short of breaking it open no one will ever know the difference. Yes, in case anyone is wondering I do tell the truth when asked "Is that a real Rolex", and I tell them it's 40% 100% Rolex everytime and explain franken builds. lol. I don't care about money/status/etc. I just love Datejusts and every dial that they come with. I honestly think the Rolex brand is shit at this point, but damn if their vintage pieces aren't just beautiful. The aesthetics are unrivaled IMO. The dude doing this video has a fabulous narrator voice, lol. Keep it up man!

never has been made a better watch, choose wathever variation existent, great addition!

Great review

The vintage piece is nice. The zenith is definitely the best one for value.

In 1998 I bought this watch with the Ivory Pyramid face used for 3k, The jewelry store was closing and the owner never came back after having it serviced, Being a smaller guy I can't pull off a 40mm watch, Twenty five years latter it's still perfect, You get what you pay for

I bought one a week ago with black tapestry from 1989z It’s rare and it looks very sophisticated! I don’t care what people say! I paid 7500$ and that allot less than a modern 41!

Residuals are important 👍

36mm looks amazing

Thank you for the video. I am thinking of buying a 36 Datejust from 1996 as my first watch ever.

I own a 1601 i picked up last year for around $3600 fully serviced that i daily drive now. While i agree feature wise its beaten by some other newer watches for sure theres just something about owning your first rolex if youre a watch person that just cant be replicated. Idk how to really explain it. Ive owned many omegas both vintage and modern, a breitling and a tudor bb but that crown logo just hits different lol

I just did today no box 9r papers but i boughtnit from a Jared store

Nice review ❤

Ima be real yall , my first Rolex was a 1994 26mm date just couldn’t tell me nothing it was perfect & I got it for 1200$ 😮 upgrading it in the morning after 2 years to a 34mm date just I’m excited !

Thanks for the great video, Most of the Vintage Rolex's I've found don't have Box and papers, do you think their still worth buying?

Denzel Washington vibes from this guy and I love it!

I’ve been saving up to purchase my first vintage Swiss Rolex watch what I’m looking for is a date just 36 mm two tone champagne dial I’m on the hunt for it hoping to find one between 5000$ to $6000 that’s in good condition. Something about that watch just draw me to it as far back as I can remember as a kid I’ve always wanted this watch with the Jubilee bracelet and the proportions of the watch are just perfect and in my opinion it oozes class

Little bit beat up, too much scratches etc but a great watch still

Great looking watch! I have a question and it might be dumb, but is the gold real or just plated?

I m woman but I m crazy of r vintage Rolex , I m looking for one but didn't find the one yet . Someoen recommend a dealer?

Please show us your ring collection

One of the important factors is the servicing, it's not easy to find watchmakers who can service vintage Rolex watches well.

At what point did the brand improve the quality of the bracelet?

Is that a Dexter signet ring?

No wrist shot??

Can’t decide between a 1803 Gold Day Date or a 16013 Date Just Two Tone Gold with a Tapestry Dial they both so stunning… but i think i go with the date just bc its half the price in fullset… i don’t wanna spend 16k for a watch with no box & papers 😅 whats your opinion?

Debating buying a 1984 black dial Roman numeral for 4500 tonight, too much you think?

Rolex datejust serial number 1600

DUDE NEXT TIME CLEAN AND BUFF YOUR WATCHES! THEN DO YOUR VIDEOS!

No debate 36mm Rolex is the watch. American Psycho!!!!
