10 Rolex Mistakes That 90% of People Make

[@afruitmedley365]

The problem with vintage Rolex’s is that the prices are quite high, but the quality isn’t a patch on the modern models. Particularly the bracelets.

[@ragetobe]

This is so true, I felt highly disappointed when I bought a vintage Rolex, it just doesn’t have the quality that modern Rolexes do.

I'm too entertained that you're sporting a Casio F-91W while making a Rolex video. ⌚

[@Ahmedd105]

Lol i still wear my casio f91 and gshock ga310 even after buying a gmt pepsi and submariner. Casio makes the best daily watches ever

[@gregoryingram7561]

It's called having a choice, I own two Rolex's but wear a gevril.

[@herbtube7824]

[@DollarDude]

I'd say one critical mistake people make with Rolexes (or high-end watches in general) is not insuring them. Watches are meant to be worn, not tucked away in a safe. Insure that thing so you can daily it without worry 💸

[@7.92Gav]

Only insure a watch if you can't afford to lose it. There are benefits to not insuring.

[@marcusherts9345]

@@7.92Gavwhat benefits are those?

[@marcusherts9345]

How do you insure one? Is it just put on your house insurance? Or is there a special insurance for luxury watches out there?

[@7.92Gav]

@marcusherts9345 talk goes on within insurance companies. You don't know who knows your address and what valuable items you hold. Also, the tax man can look at your list of insured valuables after you die and add them to the value of your estate for IHT purposes. If he doesn't know...... Sure, losing a watch would be rather annoying, but I wonder how many years' insurance premiums it would take to repurchase the watch. That’s the risk calc.

[@DollarDude]

@@7.92Gav I disagree. The only benefit to not insuring a high-end watch is having enough money to not care if you lose, break, or get robbed of a high-end watch. If that's you, congrats. The annual premium on a $17k Rolex with a $0 deductible is around $240 a year, which is a small price to pay to not worry about rocking your Rolex in a crowded city or tourist area.

In 2014 I returned. my PAM 104. Sitting there was a GMT BLNR 116710. I happily returned that PAM and financed 3k and I walked out with a Rolex 1st. The first ever bi-colored Cerachrom Bezel. $8980 no tax out the door! Those days are long gone, I was in the right place at the right time 😊

[@ernstplomann5003]

I wanted a Submarinder, so I bought it. Very happy with it!

[@TheJMedia]

I have been dreaming of owning a rolex since i was a kid as it was a luxury timepiece that marked success and wealth to me when i was younger. Glad i was able to pick up my first Rolex from my AD last year and my 2nd piece recently!

[@jhollie8196]

Cost me 800 to have my Submariner cleaned / tuned up last year at an authorized dealer in San Diego. Was not told the watch will require this service at time of purchase, but I wanted so I may have still gone on with purchase. Thanks for sharing

[@boydovens4180]

Thank you Jenni i learned a few more things about watches which are important .

[@adamlewis6288]

I don’t even want a Rolex anymore. I’m starting to feel the $5,000 mark is the most I’d like to spend. Also, was told it would be 18 months and it has been more than twice that now.

[@RB-xv4si]

I obviously don’t know how much effort you put into looking. But if you pigeonhole yourself into one local dealer, chances are you’re just going to be disappointed. I’d try to register your interest at 5-10 of your closest ADs. Give yourself the best chance possible.

[@Mimikatun-g3q]

Thanks for the video - keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@zahidpasha145]

Thanks for the video - very informative!

[@brians2733]

You hit the nail on the head when saying buying the first Rolex you can get. My datejust is the watch I wear the least. I now wish I had bought an explorer, mainly because of its practicality and utility. I actually rejected a submariner after it arrived because it took 3 years on the waitlist and I picked up an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean in the meantime.

[@nickmills9265]

Interesting when you mention size, 42mm is normally great for me but when trying on an Explorer II Polar - it looked too big in my eyes which was mainly because of the white colour. I turned it down and grabbed an Explorer I a month or so later, perfect- for me anyway. Keep up the good videos!

If you are a guy and want the jack of all trades, get a Submariner. Pay only retail at an authorized AD. Do that and you’ll never regret it.

[@WestCoastAce27]

Agree. And with world economies tanking, flipping Subs won’t be worth it soon. More and more people are getting ’the call’.

I think my earlier comment got nuked by my hotel wifi, so I'll try to rewrite it... anyway if I were you, I'd be taking the banhammer out on some of these commenters right now. I'm not a Rolex person but man, people get too emotionally invested in this stuff. And almost all of these tips could apply to any watch brand. I do think if I were buying used, I'd only buy *really* used and not CPO, because prices for CPO Rolexes are high enough that you may as well just buy new. But you could go on Ebay and get a regular used Rolex with their authenticity guarantee (and the guarantee that comes with your credit card, assuming you pay that way) for a few thousand bucks or even less. Anyway, always enjoy your videos even when they're not about one of my favorite brands!

[@NPJensen]

I'll never own a Rolex watch... I couldn't even afford the insurance and the costs for servicing a Rolex. Luckily for me, out of the Rolex lineup only the Air-King comes close to something I would pick, and it just doesn't make sense with all the in my opinion better designed pilot and field watches out there. I would be much more inclined to pick a Hamilton 42mm Murph, but ever since the inflation hit and increased the cost of living (but not my salary) that's out of my price range as well these days. It's a good thing there are some lovely cheap quartz watches out there like the Orloff Dunes and the Accurist Aviation - not to mention the Sea2See Panarea01.

[@Zach012]

Jenni , Rolex ❤ love to hear you say it!

[@Cga1225]

I once bought a Platinum dial Yachtmaster before the pandemic. My mistake was I did not check the AD first. I might have paid more than the already expensive SRP, even when it could have been available. Now, I appreciate the little wait, but at least the AD knows me, got 2 selected Rollies in 8 months :) besides, I'm in no rush for them. They call, sure, thanks, but no pressure to buy grey.

[@anthonyperry3699]

Fully agree that buyers remorse is the most awful feeling. It typically takes me about a week to get over the fact that I just spent an unreasonable amount of money on some thing that I don’t really need. The first couple nights are the worst.

[@vangmx]

When I was in HK back in August 2024, I noticed local ladies wearing 36mm Rolex DJ or Submariners. The question is, are they real? I have no idea, but a quick search online, at least half of them are genuine. The only ones wearing 28mm Rolexes were older ladies on the MRT. So the question of too big or too small, it all depends on you.

[@2manysigns]

I think that a leather strap on a diver is o.k. You know , whatever one prefers . If there's to be a standard of no leather straps on divers then there should be a standard of no leather straps on any wrist watches with 30 meters or more . I've heard this taboo mentioned before and personally think it's only of the obvious , simply being that if leather gets wet then it has effects and needs drying etc.. Point in case ; equestrian tackle , motorcycle riding gear ...... people who choose to wear a leather strap on a diver know what they're doing and what they prefer . If one were a scuba diver in action it wouldn't be the best choice to employ a leather strap of course . Anyhow , Cheers as they say .

I’ve made several Rolex mistakes chief amongst them not doing enough research on vintage pieces.

Buy what’s best for you and wear it in good health.

But to investigate Rolex better I even will create a video on Wednesday about Rolex and their "Selling point" and "scarcity" marketing that is not quite working that effective anymore.

Great info. I’d add: if you’re not a natural outgoing, sales type person, don’t go to an AD that sells many brands and jewelry- go to a Rolex boutique. Much more professional and they won’t play the ‘buying history’ games. Might be a longer drive, but worth it.

[@itstheMR]

Rolex watches are similiar to high end sports car owners: few will track their Ferraris and Porsches as few will dive with their Rolex divers. The Deepsea and the Challenge are ridiculous as you can’t even directly wear them at those depths outside of a submarine. Yes, I use my James Cameron to visit the Titanic every Tuesday. For watch people, it’s about appreciating the history, looks, and engineering that goes behind them. For everyone else, it’s just a name to show off. Sad thing is Rolex needs these people that just want to show off the name just as how Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini had to lower themselves to making SUVs.

Who pays for something minor like food when they don’t even have an Explorer 1… you eat everyday. But a Rolex is forever.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Rolex servicing runs 30% higher for watches over ten years old as a “classic” service. But there is a school of thought if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Typically your older watch may drift a little more inaccurate than out of the gate but if you’re wearing them in a rotation they are getting way much less wear and tear than say a one watch worn daily.
