Although expensive, Rolex is practically a discount watch compared to some of the other brands he mentioned. The Patek Philippe brand alone makes Rolex look like Hamilton (and that Calatrava is one of the "affordable" ones). I won't buy Rolex because I would rather buy a cheaper watch that still looks great and is of good quality. I know it won't hold its value and I don't care. Because if I feel like it, I'll save up for a much nicer watch than Rolex and pass it on to the kid one day.

Someone once told me that if you are buying something such as paintings or jewelry, buy what you like not what is in or perceived to be an investment. So if you like stamps pay what you feel comfortable with and what you can afford. Same holds true for watches. I like mechanical watches, having been in Silicon Valley when digital watches came out and knowing how they are made. I like the details of a mechanical watch much like the details of a car or plane. I also like watches that have a connection to aviation so Breitling, Omega and Rolex.

I'm 61 years old I bought my first Rolex from a friend of mine whose family owned a jewelry store in Pittsburgh it was a Submariner that he used to wear on his wrist I paid $450 for it in 1975 I was just turning 15 I knew what a Rolex was because of him back then that watch retailed for about $800 nobody had a Rolex back then it was nothing like it is now I appreciated it for its quality and uniqueness. As time went on I had many Rolexes because I could buy them cheap from him basically it cost. In high school I was a Rolex dealer LOL when I was 18 I bought my father a two-tone oyster quartz which was not actually a very desirable watch because it was quartz. I got tired of them because everyone started wearing them and soon fell in love with Patek Philippe nobody knew what they were unless you were a real hardcore watch connoisseur I have probably had a dozen over the years all the lower end stuff nothing six figures or more. But I love them. I would not buy a Rolex either because it's kind of like driving a 3-Series BMW or a C-Class Mercedes. It's a wannabe

This video was probably made at the same time as the other Rolex video, but just in case: the 'face' and the 'dial' of a watch is basically the same thing - the flat disc behind the crystal and hands of the watch (the crystal being the clear covering that protects the hands and dial from outside forces). On many watches, especially dive watches and GMT watches, there is an outer ring that often can be turned, either for timing a dive or for keeping track of another time zone. On the Rolex GMT shown in the video this ring is blue and red. This outer ring is called a bezel.

800k per year means a lot of people have rolex watches, they don't usually break in one year, so that means there's more and more millions of rolex watches in the market every year. Compare that to some premium items, like certain handbags, they may only make a few dozen, few hundred at the most. People like to feel unique or original, and even if the price tag is high, it doesn't feel so premium knowing there's 500,000 other people out there with the same exact watch. Also if your circle of friends are mostly relatively successful in life, have a decent job, have a home, aren't living way above their means, for them to have at least one rolex watch that they wear to fancy occasions isn't that far fetched. I mean median household income in the usa has been over 50k for a long time, and that average is brought down by situations where people are on welfare and that money isn't counted in their income, and 1 person in the household has a part time job at mcdonalds. Also you can buy some of the less sought after models from previous years for a lot cheaper than the inflated price that rolex watches are sitting at today.

I like nice things and I spend a lot of money on certain things that will either keep their value or actually increase in value over time. I have bought a few expensive watches like a Rolex watch, a Movado, and a few others, but the best watch which I bought was a Cartier Santos-Dumont from NYC 5th Ave. I did have buyers remorse for a few days because I could have bought an awesome camera from B & H Cameras in NYC. Anyway I do have the Cartier watch which I wear at some occasions. But you are correct, never buy an expensive watch that doesn't match the car you drive.

Nice video. You don’t need to own a Rolex to have a nice watch nor do you require one to show success. A reward of a timepiece should be of what YOU like not what is socially known and accepted. The are a great many watch manufacturers today producing timepiece as good or better than Rolex and many at a fraction of the cost of what Rolex is charging. Perhaps you need to look a some microbrand watches and see what is on offer, you might be pleasantly surprised. Added bonus is that many of the microbrand watches are produced in limited numbers so once they are gone you may never see one again. This brings in exclusively...its nice to own a high quality timepiece that not many own or can get.

Fj Fj. There are so many fantastic microbrand watch manufacturers out there today the world is your oyster, of course choosing is totally subjective, but these should get you started as their quality is unquestionable often worth many times the asking prices; Creux, Nomos Glashutte, Christopher Ward, Gorilla, Mk II, Axios who are a subsidiary company of Zelos. However, if you are stuck on a name vice quality then you need to only turn to those timepieces offered by the Swatch Group.
@PointNemo94 жыл бұрын
@@OneTalaw Christopher Ward are nothing but marketing, they just buy in movements and cases and print there logo on the dial. Nomos is at least respectable but they are not in the same tier as Rolex, many of their watches are less than $3000. I'd prefer Glashutte Original
@OneTalaw4 жыл бұрын
Fj Fj. Most watch manufacturers worldwide use a form of the ETA movement, copied or sometimes modified but there is no ETA on anyone’s watch dial. Few manufacturers produce truly in-house movements and if they do, they are NOT a microbrand. Just look at Bremont (once a microbrand) started early this century and in less than a decade were producing luxury timepieces worldwide. They produce a quality product (subjective taste for their models) and to that big in such a short period of time, they heavily relied on marketing and their is no one bigger that relies on marketing than Rolex.

I've have a Rolex 5513 new since 1984. I've just had it serviced (very expensive) so I will not wear it very often. My favourite day to day watch is a G-Shock MR-G Black Titanium, Solar powered, Blue Tooth and Atomic Clock accurate to the split second. Completely waterproof and shock proof. Completely self adjusting and doesn't need a battery ever. It is very difficult to scratch also.
