Reviewing the Gold Grail - Rolex Day Date 40

[@daniell2217]

It’s a baller watch, my man. People can say it’s not their taste, don’t like YG, are anti-Rolex, or whatever. None of it changes fact that the YG DD is a straight up BALLER watch. Love that you love it!

[@wukillah]

Ahah well said! Mine is everose, but regarless, rose gold, yellow gold, platinum, it is a baller’s watch in the great sense of the term!

[@daniell2217]

truth. I shouldn’t have neglected the other precious metals. RG, YG, WG, P…it’s all heavy weight, pro player, straight up mf’n baller.

[@freebandmari777]

lol exactly , I don’t like yellow gold as much as rose but alongside the rose DD 40 with the Chocolate Roman Dial I can’t wait to get this Champagne Roman Dial one day

[@KaayJaay]

Soprano Tony style lol

[@tar1895]

You’ve just talked me out of selling mine. It’s in 36mm yellow. I don’t wear it often but love looking at it.

[@Warrengr89]

Don't sell it. 36mm is the og size! Rock it!

[@BRV2728]

This is my grail watch. What got me into watches specifically a gold watch was my dads gold plated Seiko 5 DD. He bought it back in the early 2000’s & he wore that watch everywhere with any outfit & i just thought he looked so cool all the time😂 beautiful Rolex hope to buy one soon. That’s a keeper for sure Bruce!

[@teagenmanning5986]

Popular grail piece for a reason, there is such a palpable confidence felt on the wrist whenever you wear it. I was never particularly fond of non-steel watches, but this one changed my mind. Tony Soprano's choice for a reason.

[@Harvin87]

Me too. Always been a “sport watches” guy but after seeing Tony Soprano wearing it and actually seing one in person… wow, it’s definitely the watch I’ll get upon retirement.

[@anthonyiadarola1201]

Somebody mentioned in another video the steel watches are going for what the precious metal watches are going for go buy a used presidential instead… as a matter fact you could have a white gold and a yellow gold 2000 through 2009 presidential watch for about 40,000 which you would pay for a 40 mm day date from Rolex these days but 36 mm I mean if you really think about it they’ve been around since the 50s the bigger watches didn’t come out until 2010 go figure🤷‍♂️

The great thing about this watch is that it dresses you up with anything you wear, it is just pure class. 😊❤

[@mgolabek89]

It's loud and it's obnoxious. It's a "look at me, look at me" type of a watch. Patek is class, JLC is class FP Journe is class. This is a watch to be worn by Russian oligarchs, gangsters, Gypsies and Chinese millionaires who also think that BMW's 7 series grill looks cool.

I don’t care what anyone else says, this is the DADDY of all rolex models. Love the yellow BUT again, for me, got to be the rose, with chocolate diamond baguette dial. Excellent purchase Bruce,

[@steffydog]

Bruce, as I said before, that piece is absolutely stunning. So glad you’re loving it, it’s a big chunk of cash, but wow, if you can, it’s a winner. Enjoy, keep well 👍

[@olivergoblirsch4]

Dear Bruce, I have just purchased the exact same Day Date yesterday after having been waiting for 25 years. I have seen your video 2 days ago, just one day before purchasing it. After having spent so much time waiting for it, you have just brought it all on point. Great video quality. Great vibe. Have as much fun as possible with your watch and keep on creating such beautiful videos!

[@gerardanthony9834]

Beautiful watch. Great look. How's it going, seven months later? Pleased?

[@olivergoblirsch4]

Been waiting for this review! Sorry I missed you on Friday at Miller's. I had planned on coming, but unfortunately wasn't able to.

What a creative use of Wago’s for the Robot’s hands. 😂 Beautiful watch! I had a history teacher back in high school (He was also a rancher) who had a black dial with diamond indices Yellow gold Day-Date.

This particular Rolex is as beautiful looking today as it was 30 years ago and as it will be in 30 years time... its just timeless looking... Great video mate 👍

Love my dd. You can wear it with absoluely any thing, on any occasion. No matter the occasion this watch makes you feel like a boss. Luxury at its best !

[@MrGeirSteinar]

Probably the best looking watch ever made, and I love your thoughts on how wearable it is on a daily basis. Man, I would’ve loved to own one ….

[@KaayJaay]

Wear it daily!!

[@gerardanthony9834]

Again, just absolutely stunning. I hope you wear it every day and enjoy it for many, many years! I love it.

I think you are right, you need some time for adapt to gold watches and enjoy without fear, except in the streets of some big cities

[@LaMont5150]

Great video…Thanks! I plan on buying one when I retire in 5 years…Class personified 💯✊🏾

[@jeremydahm2124]

Amazing intro! This is the king watch. Many hate on Rolex but if you consider the fit, finish, robustness, and guaranteed accuracy.... It's silly to argue, Rolex watches are awesome. Agreed, precious metal feels real real good!

[@anilbouri1485]

40mm is a classic unbeatable size, this model is a classic, well done

[@83ravioli]

Wow Bruce. When I first heard about you selling most of your watches in your collection to buy the gold Rolex- I thought it was a crazy move. But seeing this watch and the history behind it - I begin to understand your decision. Quality over quantity. As a watch collector who has experienced most of the modern watches, going for a mature watch makes sense indeed.

[@JOHNNYSD-43]

the perfect 3 pieces for me is a SD43, DJ, and full gold watch, gold Sub or the new gold GMT would be my choice

[@rossdonison4999]

Great video. Your first video on this watch actually hooked my on the yellow gold Daydate. I hadn’t really given it muvch thought previously for some reason but it looks so good on your wrist and your thoughtful comments stuck in my head. Now I can’t get this watch out of my mind and I’m plotting ways to add one to my collection. Glad to see you enjoying yours so much. It is truly a special piece and I hope you continue to wear and enjoy this beauty for years to come.

[@Vanalich]

This reminded me that there was actually a time when you could walk into a Rolex shop and buy a watch there 😊

[@romanochelommmiii1526]

It's a beautiful piece my man and that 40mm looks great on you I went with the 36mm arrived today love it thank you for your video it was great.

[@andrews68]

I have literally the same exact watch YG champagne dial Roman numerals…love it. Got it from AD in 2017

[@GunGlutton]

It’s beautiful,and my grail! my 2 two DJ 41 champagne dial fluted bezel on jube will have to do for now

[@Ronaldalan114]

I’ve been liking all gold lately. Not to commit to one yet, but I could see it in the future. If Grand Seiko introduces an all gold…I might be finished lol

[@booneguy]

That's the legendary Warren Buffett watch. I've never saw the watch in person nor in such a high quality video. Now I understand why Buffett has worn it for multiple decades.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Good looking watch, Bruce, congrats on your purchase 🙂👍

[@gamesetmatt23]

Lovely piece. Not my style at all, but I can 100% appreciate it. I think it looks absolutely fantastic on-wrist. So classy and versatile. I think I weirdly like it a lot more on-wrist than off. Almost like it needs the context. Great watch.

[@joelacosta5584]

Agree 100%

[@BLR653]

Absolutely love this piece. It’s something to strive for that’s for sure. I think I would go all out and get the baguette dial too!

[@jit_cool_grewal]

Love it! The flagship Rolex ❤

[@KaayJaay]

Thanks for the knowledge!! What do you think about the Diamond baguette 2024 on the dial numbers? How about the Diamond bezel? Bling

[@mprieto57]

Is this the 40mm version?

[@silascargan8315]

when talking about the warmer glow i would say omega is the wrong watch to compare the hue with as they go after a brighter white-ish yellow with the moonshine gold

[@adrianvisentin534]

I have a vintage 36mm yellow gold. Not a daily wearer because gold scratches easy. Save it for special occasions

[@danieltaylor4475]

When you see the Roman numerals up close their design language is stunning. Especially the X and Vs.

[@janihellberg6911]

I own a datejust with the hidden clasp and Rolex sells 3/4 link for it and I was able to get perfect fit with it. Wonder if they do it for day date also.

[@handsome_jeff]

What’s your wrist size ? 7”+ ? It looks fantastic on your wrist but gold wears large, just curious so I can scale. I’m 7” wrist on the dot but I think I’d lean toward the 36mm…thoughts?

[@majorpsych17]

He has mentioned in other videos that he has a 7.25” wrist. Hope that helps.

[@jact12]

Great analysis on the DD40. I have similar wrist size, how many links are on your DD? I took one link off and fits snug, but adding one might be loose.

[@Gates-Tech]

lovely watch.. hard as a daily (depending where you live) i would be concernd in some areas...

[@fan-jo2je]

Beautiful watch maybe one day I can afford one! I just noticed the case looks like the same as my explorer 40 but in stainless obviously. The case sides have a slight roundness to them. Enjoy that piece Bruce! When is your next visit to Millers? I couldn’t make it out last time.

[@cookingwithwatches]

Replacing day wheel cost $80 and it can take a very, very long time. At least for me Rolex quoted a year until I can get my watch back. But I agree, it will make this watch even more personal.

[@peteyplays-new]

Maybe one day Bruce, one day. Awesome piece!

[@SinnerAndSaint]

Bruce, ALL THE BEST to you and your new President! 🎉 I can 100% relate, I was thinking for a long time to consolidate and upgrade to a Day Date in Yellow Gold (what else, right?!). But I'm not there yet. As you may remember I experienced pretty much the same watch collecting phases like you did and I had pretty much all of 'the times'. But I'm still struggling going down with my collection. At the moment I still enjoy my variety of watches but the next goal is definitely coming down to a handful (or two handfuls 😁) of watches. I do want to keep watches from brands that I really love and respect for what they're doing. Not only because of the brand name, looks or tech behind. I still want to have a watch for 'every ocassion' but tbh a handful is more than enough for that goal. In the meantime I continue collecting my personal favorite models as I already skipped the upgrade-donwgrade-upgrade phase as well as the 'I need to have this complication / brand / color / type of watch' phase. Have loads of fun with this piece and wear it with pride! All the best from Germany, Daniel

[@Chris_BQ]

At 8:12 ... are the 3x III of the roman number 8 misaligned towards the chapter ring? Looks a bit odd to me. Just curious...

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Awesome watch and yes wrist claustrophobia is real! I’m with you better to be a bit lose then snug. 😊😊😊

I would personally be a bit afraid of gold as it's less resistant to any damage than even steel. But looks awesome!

Cosmetically, this is the ultimate watch for most people. Ideally, a watch should be safe (from robbery) and tough to wear 24/7 for all activities and need not remove from wrist except servicing. Nevertheless, it is beautiful.
