Good job man. Great content. All best from Mexico City, O’Malley,

[@juergenrichter4691]

We implemented Darth Vader to discuss important topics like watches to buy in our household. These dark voices speak the truth!

[@j8442340]

Walked into my local Rolex AD. Explained that I’m not loaded, but I’m retiring from the armed forces after twenty odd years and wanted to treat myself to a keepsake that I wasn’t going to flip and wanted to hand down to my son. Had a really good chat over a coffee with the brand manager. He said he’d see what he could do. Rang me back three weeks later and I went in the next day (about a month ago) and picked up my stainless black sub date. Absolutely fantastic experience. I’m going to save up for my next one and go back to the same place.

[@MrFaulkers]

This is now my favorite watch / travelogue / alcohol issues channel. Seriously, my wife watches ( no pun intended ) and she’d normally prefer to look at paint dry than see another Grand Seiko v Submariner comparison. You have a natural presenting style, easily good enough for professional broadcasting. Keep up the good work

[@BarkandJack]

Hahahah, that intro! "You're kidding right?!" Welcome to world of Rolex!

[@mr_watchaddict3146]

Yes, you two! Please get together and talk watches, life, the universe and everything! ☕️☕️😁🍷🍷

@@mr_watchaddict3146 We already know the answer to life, the universe and everything. It's 42 😎

[@AmitBhandari82]

[@billmedic1995]

Don’t let Lenny get you down....yes, you drink. I drink when I watch your videos 😅. I work as a paramedic in the US. Like most in my field, I work 60 to 70 hours a week and have pretty much one day off every seven days. I am in my 28th year in my profession and I have no complaints....I see stuff that most people can never think about or dream of. But, I leave that behind me when I get in the car to leave work and drive home. When I’m home, and my family is fast asleep, I pour a glass of wine and watch a video about Rolexes. It is one of many things that I do in my off time that bring me happiness. Thank you for the great content, and as always, I look forward to the next video. 👊🏻

[@h111551]

Having two Rolexes, they are obviously well constructed and durable but there is no exclusivity to them. They are not worth the brain death of figuring out how to acquire a new one.

[@jf6853]

i bought my first Rolex Submariner Date nearly 15 years ago and I certainly remember there was a lack of Sports watch’s even back then. Saw the watch in the shop window on Bond Street, had literally just been put out, so I was told by the shop assistant. Needless to say I bought it immediately! I paid £2,250. List price. Cheers for the video. Love the channel

[@Long-nd8bq]

Thank you for not being a self promoting, click bait title and thumbnail channel like many others in the watch, car, gun, hobbies. I appreciate the correct information and the humor. Keep up the good work.

[@send2sl]

I started watching this episode thinking I Really missed "Lenny". Thanks,

[@jasonwebb7574]

Oisin, miracles do happen - 2 days ago I collected a brand new Rolex 126660 James Cameron from a central London AD. I got it at retail & I only waited 5 weeks. Like I said, miracles do happen...

[@TomasLonga]

Welcome to the "middle-class grail watch team" as this is exactly what happened to Rolex. Every bloody "salesman of the month" will be rocking the Pepsi..

[@steelstunners1862]

I can understand why. The things a beast - not everyone’s cup of tea!

[@jasonwebb7574]

@@steelstunners1862 fair one, it works for me, I have big arms!

[@alwong604]

I was offered a 40mm YachtMaster with blue dial red seconds. My AD was very nice but even he knew "you not feeling it huh?"

[@mikebauernfeind7024]

Good on ya mate! It’s the coolest Rolex in my opinion. Enjoy.

[@qchang09]

I managed to find a 2016 ceramic Sub w/box and papers from a trusted dealer and it is supposed to arrive tomorrow! Patience and research pays off!

[@steelstunners1862]

Quincy Chang But how much over list did you pay?

[@qchang09]

Steel Stunners About $1000 over the list price of a current year 114060. I have definitely seen cheaper listings but this was box, papers and a watch and bracelet in near mint condition.... no scratches and clearly unpolished. I am willing to wait a long time for the right buy, so this was my time to pull the trigger.

[@steelstunners1862]

Quincy Chang Looks like found a good deal congrats!

[@jwalkerjr]

Thanks for this video and your others. I just recently bought (July 2nd) a Rolex Explorer 214270 from an AD. I chock it up to some advice you gave and some luck. At the beginning of June I first entered my AD, had a good conversation with the rep, and asked to put my name on the list. She said they hadn’t had any new stock since the pandemic began, but she was hopeful they would be getting something soon. I then went back in to visit once each of the next 2 weeks. And then I visited with my wife who specifically mentioned it was for my 50th. We had nice conversations. A week later the rep called me to let me know my watch was available and I pounced. I took your advice to build a relationship and I’m absolutely sure that helped a lot. That and the fact that the 214270 is not as popular as the Submariner and other factors played in my favor, no doubt. That said, now that I have a purchase history with the rep, I feel that if I wanted another Rolex sports watch, I’d have a pretty good chance of getting a call when one is available.

[@milesf4626]

junior882 Excellent choice my friend, I picked one up for my 50th 😀 Enjoy....

[@karlomcastro]

It was 2016 when my brother and I got our first Rolexes. I had my eyes on a GMT and he was targeting the Sub "No Date." Without any appointments and not making any calls, we visited 4 AD locations in a day. 2 of them had the 116710LN available and on display while the other 2 had the 114060... I was even able to get an 8% discount on my GMT while my brother hot his Sub at full retail. Those were the days! Only the Hulk, the Batman, the Daytonas, and the like were hard to come by while the "standard" black GMTs and Subs (& even the polar Explorer II) were on shop windows. Certainly not the case anymore. Cheers!

[@xnimous]

Got my date sub in Greece in 2016 at full retail as well. Called 3 days before I got to Santorini, the AD held it for me and I picked the sub over a GMT. Those days will come back for sure.

[@AmishNinjaMaster]

If your Batman is on a jubilee bracelet, then it is a Batgirl ... "I'm here to tell the truth about this stuff"

[@nutz4gunz457]

If the Pepsi is on a jubilee then is it a Diet Pepsi?

[@Unknown-fl7dj]

The truth he is telling is that people call it the Batgirl. Also, the Batgirl on jubilee has slightly smaller lugs and an upgraded movement. So, it is a little different.

[@FrostedSeagull]

@@nutz4gunz457 lol 😂 good one !

[@Mighttester]

ME MANLY. ME HAVE UNCOMFORTABLE INFERIOR BRACELET. GOOD BRACELET FOR WHAMEN.

[@Bulldog55]

Totally agree on the name thing ....it’s the updated Batman ! I don’t own one so no agenda but for me the guys that had the original Batman christened the new one the Bat girl to protect their own investment . All the moaning about the heavily scratchable centre links in the oyster bracelet pre updated model . No mention of that now. I suppose it’s human nature. That said call it what you want imo the jubilee bracelet is how the GMT should have been presented from history and is the best version. If I had a choice I know which one I’d pick. 👍🏻

[@REDDAWN2010]

[@dyna88cui]

can't stop watching this video. absolutely outstanding, Lennard adds the appropriate punch. love rolex, the watches, the product management, the marketing skills, the whole aura. world would be bit duller without them. expensive? none's forced to buy one, is not food, right? overvalued? see comment by those understanding value. ever seen a sign "sale" at AD? (same as pp or lv handbags). whoever wants to cure the bubble by wishful thinking may be stuck in denial phase. want one? pick between waiting list (at future, higher prices) and premium price today. tertium non datur and complaining means whining. I wrote all this redundant stuff only to (partially) tell how I find this video utterly outstanding. no, sorry... a masterpiece, that I will keep sharing, thank you, man!

[@sureshotscot]

I was one of those lucky guys you mentioned, who walked into a AD in 2018 never been there before and asked for a Rolex Submariner (Date) then actually got it. So yes, it happens.

[@jamesonjabiru]

Rolex is dead to me. Im not playing that game.

[@davidhost7133]

Purchased my Rolex submariner 26 years ago. Walked in the authorised dealer and purchased it. No hassle and no 3 year wait on a list. Its a great watch and looks fantastic anywhere you wear it. No wonder they are so popular. Would buy another tomorrow if I could.

[@Winterfell1066]

I live near Madison MS USA. I got interested in watches over the last year or so. Got a Hamilton Navy Scuba, Seiko SKX and then an Oris Diver 65. Really watched your videos, Bark and Jack, Just One More Watch, etc. Visited by AD a few times during the local COVID lockdown in March 2020 (Mask and SD required). Took two visits to get on a waiting list. One month later I was called out of the blue and offered a new Rolex Sub Date 116610. I committed immediately and 2 hours later it was on my wrist. "The same as being struck by lightning....twice.). Awesome

[@20thcenturyboy85]

Lenny is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!! However, about 30 years back I bought a vintage 5513 Submariner and I have been IN LOVE with it ever since that time!

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Yacht-Master 40, Blue dial, Red sweep second hand, red lettering, gorgeous platinum bezel. A stunning future classic.

[@trujr5295]

I agree with you. It has been a sleeper for a decade and still find one unworn for original retail.

[@DanielKatzenberger]

Great ending Leonard. Per your advice, I am moving away from the Rolex mass manufactured overhyped “brand” to a true “watchmaker” that hand manufactures, polishes, and engraves only 5,000 watches per year. If only watch fanboy “collectors” would stop hoarding Rolex watches only to keep them in safe deposit boxes (ahem), then everyone that wants a Rolex could have one. 😉 It’s that old mindset that, “It’s not enough that I am successful; others must fail.” Great video!

[@GustavoRSantos]

That was the funniest introduction ever! 😂😂

[@drewbaughman7129]

The Hamilton tickets comment is the take away message of this video. And I can relate to that as I finally was able to purchase my grail watch, the 39mm Explorer I , at a Rolex AD a few weeks ago. In my long hunt for this watch, the single most important thing I learned is the true meaning of exclusivity, ie, available to only select few people. As Oisin says, not everyone with money in their pocket can get Hamilton tickets. You also need patience, personality, and a whole lot more sometimes, even luck.

[@leecallaway1350]

The rich overtones of Mr O Malley , the sheer class of this channel and the informative nature of the world of horological science , coupled with the Venetian backdrop and the exciting experience provided when unboxing a Rolex with a glass of malt or red wine , places this guy in a class of his own !!!!

[@mattvallejo1129]

For a watch enthusiast, this is the best intro ever! I was laughing so hard the first 1.5 mins

[@misterquickster]

The ending had me rolling on the floor laughing uncontrollably. Nice low key start and an onslaught at the end. Love it!

[@michaelchaplin866]

We need way more Lenny

[@davidpippin3460]

Now that was some funny shit. So true about being a good customer. We walked into our AD looking for sky dwellers and our seller whispered, what about a Yachtmaster II in steel? We said yes please but she then whispered, we are holding it for another customer but the reserve ends in 15 minutes and they haven't shown up. So, we chatted for 15 mins, got the watch and as we were walking out a snobby breathless old lady came in looking for her yachtmaster. We just smiled at our dealer as they held the door open for us to exit. Sometimes the sun does shine on my ass!

[@simonmayes3374]

Don’t worry Oisin.I’ve drunk my way through pandemic. Glad you’re still pumping out great content.

[@rayban8680]

I’m new to Lenny’s channel, but enjoy his content and knowledge. Plus, what a great voice for talking about watches.

It’s official. You have the best hair out of all watch channels.

[@dbenadon]

Leonard is a truth speaker! Rock on!

[@nickpellatt]

There are a huge amount of first-time buyers that don't know any of this. And I know this because I had no idea myself. I didn't visit a dealer until I was ready to buy, and I never watched watch youtubers until after I'd bought a nice watch. Not everybody wants to research watches endlessly. I just decided I'd like to buy one ... and was absolutely astounded to discover it wasn't easy to do so.

[@marcusmartinez1660]

The Milgauss and the Yachtmaster 40 getting some love at the end ❤️

[@markbyrum4743]

I like the Lenny "point - counterpoint" interview method. Good vid. Keep at it!

[@gervers]

Some people are just precious about names. I like your Batman but I also appreciate the Batgirl, I like the jubilee bracelet with the black and blue personally. I certainly wouldn’t get offended by the name Batgirl and I certainly wouldn’t unsubscribe! What a peanarse! Lenny’s a legend!!!! As for me, after a 6 month wait, I got my first Rolex! An Explorer 39mm loomed numbers etc. Speaking as an Omega Fanboy, the Explorer is just my favourite watch ever! Effortless class and in my opinion could be the perfect 1 watch collection! Love the vlog! Love ALL your vlogs! Now I’m off to enjoy my Glenlivet 18yr which I’m still drinking a week after my Explorer purchase! Can’t have too much of a good thing!

[@ryansahs]

Hands down my favorite video or yours, funniest thing Ive seen all week. Well done!

[@MegaRichardHoward]

It’s amazing how powerful the Rolex brand is. I have a varied collection but if I look at my three favourite pieces two of them are Rolex-the Two tone Daytona and Yacht Master!! These watches in my humble opinion are stunning and thankfully Don’t see many about.

[@Psysso]

Imagine waiting years to pay a company 15x times the actual value of an item that by todays standards is pretty obsolete. Crazy world we are living in.

[@beckwithtl]

crni_tekac it is crazy, but there are different ways to define value. Waited 18 months for a SS Ceramic Daytona for 13k, but the market price (value) is currently 24-26k. It’s a nice watch, but I got my JLC master compressor extreme lab 2 for 26k, that’s a serious chronograph.

[@tom_marsden]

It’s insanity. I love to hear about how the purchases are rationalized. Some of my favorites are: “It’s a great investment.” “It’s a good tool watch.” “I’ll be able to pass it on to my kids someday.” I’ve got nothing against someone buying what they want at any price but at least be honest with yourself about why you want it.

[@herbtube7824]

If that is your opinion, you apparently don't have the slightest clue about what constitutes "value".

[@beckwithtl]

Tom Marsden money doesn’t bring me enjoyment, so I trade it for things and experiences that do.

[@landerzone2643]

Rolex- overpriced overhyped average watches by any standard

[@jeremypitotti1227]

I was experiencing TWC withdrawal symptoms!! Great to see you back producing entertaining content. Spero che tutto sta bene su?

[@oneal14attnet]

I travel quite a bit and make a habit of visiting Rolex authorized dealers at every destination (pre-Covid, by appointment only now). Believe it or not some of those “sought after” watches are available out there. I’m not looking for the sub or the hulk or the batgirl. But I’ve been offered each of those watches several times after just walking into an AD’s shop with no prior relationship. These watches are not unique by any stretch of the imagination but it does take patience and time to secure them. If that is what you want rest assured that they are attainable.

[@Wevaah]

Loved the bit at the end. I don't understand why people would want to have the same watch as everyone else. Right now in my collection I own a Omega SMP 300 in the midsize version, and a Baltic Aquascaphe Sb01 (really fantastic microbrand), and I hope to own the Tudor BB 36 Two Tone, a Dominos Oyster Perpetual, a Fears Brunswick, and my grail the Santos de Cartier medium in yellow gold. Personally I feel like it would be a pretty unique collection. Great video!

[@finnbaaa]

How the feck did I miss this one? Lordy. Hi Lenny, loving your work.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks for putting your music references. That is a big help. Great content too. Cheers!

[@borjastick]

Rolex dealers smile at you, shake your hand, listen intently to what you would like to buy. Then having suppressed their laughter all the way through they tell you to fuck off. That's how it works.

YOH LENNY!! I'm kinda inclined to agree with your closing comments.Of course those new to the crazy addiction of the watch world and wanting the impossible Rolex model can always try an homage watch,Parnis do a good GMT Master homage which has the same weight/dimensions as the real deal.That way you get to experience the look and feel of it on your wrist for very little money.DO NOT buy a replica that will just feed the criminals that make them................................

[@drtydsanchez]

HahahHa. Lenny was killing me at the end I actually bought a Panerai before my Rolex. And I opted for the Yacht-Master 40 because I had seen the submariner w/black bezel so many times that I had already lost interest. I even politely declined that and a few “desirable” pieces because I wanted the 126622 Rhodium above all else. Just waited it out. Not that long to be honest.

It’s a very satisfying thing, telling the very rich they can’t have something because money is not the limiting factor! Although a WIS now for 30 of my 40 years, my background is plant physiology and I work with UHNWI clients. The feeling is the same when they realise their billions will not change evolution in their favour and that no, I can’t significantly alter tree physiology, sir! I’m not rich, but my AD told me last week to expect a call very soon for my 214270. Great vid as always Oisin. Glad you’re keeping well🍷😉👍

[@ferozmuhammadali]

It's not true that they can't have it. The wealthy can have it in a heartbeat, as they can pay the premium.

[@Jsh1201970]

I was one of those that was struck by lighting. Bought my first and probable only Rolex on the 24th of the July for my 50th BDay, which was actually back in January. I walked into the AD in my hometown just to look at what might be available. I jokingly mentioned wanting a Submariner and he said let's go take a look. While walking back to take a look he said they have a Black Submariner that was just received about 30 min prior and its under the glass . I asked if it was for sale or is there a waitlist for it? He said NO waitlist and its available. The owner of this particular AD doesn't do waitlists. The store was closing in about 30 min and I said I would be back tomorrow. They held the watch until lunch the following day and needless to say its mine and I couldn't be more thrilled.

[@80barlo80]

The end of the video made me chuckle so much! 😂😂
