BOUGHT MY FIRST ROLEX!

[@ElGwapo1927]

Looks a good size for you. What size wrist are you?

[@TheWatchScientists]

Cheers! My wrist is relatively small, between 15 and 15.5 cm

[@mkyhou1160]

Congrats. It’s a great day when you get them. I picked up a black dial Explorer 2 6 months ago, still loving it. Was a 2 year wait. I wear it everywhere, was in NYC a few months back and had some compliments on it. Insurance is the key.

[@TheWatchScientists]

Thank you and congrats! yes absolutely, but insurance in London for watches is a bit ridiculous atm. Cheers

[@JohnnyBeans-w9k]

I got the call for my Submariner Starbucks after 10 months waiting and buying two other Rolex watches for wife and daughter. I wear it as often as I can. Enjoy

[@TheWatchScientists]

That’s very decent, and good to hear that once the door is open the time goes down. Thanks, you too!

[@mattsa]

I got my Explorer 40 after 5 months-I’m loving it! I agree that the wait and ‘the call’ made the experience very special.

[@TheWatchScientists]

Congratulations 🙌🏼 it’s a nice experience when you’re fine with waiting!

[@TheWatchScientists]

5 months is impressive! I imagine the 40 is less requested than the 36

[@mattsa]

@@TheWatchScientists The 40 wears smaller than it sounds due to the biggish bezel and therefore smaller dial. Apparently it’s closer to 39mm but I haven’t measured it. I have an 18cm wrist and tried the 36 but it looked like a child’s watch on me! I also had my name down for a green OP 41 so I love your choice!

[@christophepetry6782]

Amazing, such a nice watch, congratulations!

[@TheWatchScientists]

Thank you brodie!

[@g.b.4488]

Congrats! Got the blue one since 2022… you will love it

[@TheWatchScientists]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 they’re great

[@daniell2217]

Beautiful piece!! Congrats. Welcome to the club.

[@TheWatchScientists]

Thank you!

[@yashmajithia8427]

This is huge! Congratulations Nele. This is my favourite OP colour and I have been lusting after the green OP 36 ever since they launched it. As one of your early subscribers, this video gives me immense joy (and kind of makes me feel proud). We’re nearly the same age and 2024 has been so kind to both of us, I got my first classic - my Mk1 Mini and you just got your OP. I hope and pray that you and I and Chris keep winning together like this for years to come. Enjoy your watch and wear it in good health, Congratulations again. Cheers!

[@TheWatchScientists]

Hey! Thanks a lot for this comment, that’s an incredibly kind message, means a lot! Indeed, congratulations on your Mini, and to many more wins 🚀 The OP slaaaps 🔥

[@cyan0xide]

i bought a rolex and non rolex from my AD and still waiting on my green OP for over 2 years. I've visited probably 15-20 times and checked in every time too. im ugly and autistic so i think they hate me

[@andylondon1972]

The 36mm looks great on you.

[@TheWatchScientists]

It is the perfect size for me for this type of watch, love it! thank you

[@andylondon1972]

@ I love hearing when someone gets something they’ve wanted for ages and it lives up to expectations!

[@philiplauzon1743]

And you went for it 🐑 👍

[@TheWatchScientists]

I did indeed

Beautiful Watch Congratulations! It is really said that you are unable to wear your watches in London, may I ask if you live there and if so when do you have the opportunity to wear them?

[@TheWatchScientists]

Yes unfortunately that’s the state of things at the moment. I do wear watches in London, but nothing above 500€ unless I travel abroad which happens every now and again

[@BlueCollarLuxe]

@ That is good to know. I tend to go without a watch anytime I travel out of the U.S. but that’s just because I’m always a little on guard when I’m away from home. Enjoy the new watch, I’m hoping to get the call on a new Sub in 2025!

[@cartierwatchnerd]

Why don’t you just get insurance and enjoy wearing it. The OP isn’t worth that much so won’t be a target anyway.

[@leec9621]

Such a nice watch congrats

[@TheWatchScientists]

Thank you!

[@milsub59]

Lovely watch fella. I think you can handle a 41mm, but your call of course.

[@TheWatchScientists]

I think the 36mm fits me perfectly, I like it when I see some of the bracelet either side. Cheers!

[@milsub59]

@@TheWatchScientists You might think of the Candy pink next. Only in 36mm, I tried it on and it looked fab. I had the 41mm Green , but chopped it in against the 41mm Turquoise. I think the Green is the classiest of all of them.

[@j0rzeh]

You got the call because with how the UK is right now 90% of the customers who live on cheap credit have been wiped out by interest rates... Porsche gave me the same thing for a GT3... funny how people who can afford it now get calls... I'd have bought another brand company like Rolex should struggle now.

[@BernieHoule]

I got the call as well for the same exact watch on the 18th!

[@TheWatchScientists]

Congratulations! That’s amazing

[@francoisrautenbach270]

Rolex must be in a tough position these days.... good.
