Ranking Rolex Buys Under $20K (Best to Worst)

[@kyleh3207]

Putting a black sub at D and the Hulk at best is crazy 🤔

[@ScotchOnyx]

I had the same exact thought but then i realized Adrian is being Adrian and looking at this from a grey market dealer perspective in terms of liquidity and profit and how well these watches move off their inventory. Looking at this list from a collector's perspective i would say Adrian is on crack.

[@kyleh3207]

@@ScotchOnyx Yeah I thought that also, it's from a dealer point of view but the video is for regular viewers so the general public, so yeah I think he's on crack haha. But yeah at the end of the day this video is his opinion and he's a dealer so it comes with the territory.

[@John_watches-cars]

Sub at a D is absolute craziness

[@teabag1680]

Emotional damage by the viewers is more crazy… lol

[@d00rs71]

My fav watch he showed was Date just Wimbledon 41 Slate Dial Automatic Men's Steel and White Gold Jubilee Watch

[@robertgiardino3314]

Putting the sub at D level is wild

[@frankphilpot]

Meh

[@robertgiardino3314]

@@frankphilpot it’s one of the most recognizable watches of all time but yeah meh 😂

[@sgilmour22]

The date sub black bezel is a watch that has become both somewhat “basic” but also most enthusiasts prefer the no date, so that is also working against it. Great watch, one I’ve owned and enjoyed but somewhat of a stepping stone watch for many given how absurdly common Rolex has become (which I don’t think is a good thing, but it is a thing).

[@14lamnc1]

@@robertgiardino3314 it's just, really boring and basic

That hair line is tough

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn... ouch. 😄

better than a fake boxy face cutout

It’s a hair transplant. Recent as he is going through the shedding phase clearly. Then it will thicken

[@cbell5017]

Pepsi if you want the common choice. Bluesy to me sticks out as one of the more beautiful color options.

[@Gary3388]

That hairline caught my eye more than the watches when ever he looked down😂

[@JohnSmith-ez9dx]

I love DJ. Have the blue dial... So slick and classy. Like a jewelry on a wrist. GMT prolly better looking, but DJ is so clean.

[@Alex-rf5xu]

Worst reading of Rolexes I’ve ever seen

[@the-alchemist159]

Agree with you. milgauss cannot be at worst category.

[@ai_guy]

very useful, thanks

[@ZhengK]

So just a hype list. Transplant lookin healthy tho

[@frankphilpot]

You hyping the hair too

[@rickbruno-rr4ie]

I would say the Batman belongs on the top line

[@frankphilpot]

According to who? The 🐑?

[@JoeJHX]

I just got offered the guiness at my AD. Debating if I should pick it up this week since it's on hold for me.

[@alksjda]

Stopped watching when he put a OP in B

[@JZ0official]

Good market price for rose gold Wimbledon? Thank you!!

[@KurtLiss]

Adrian - great video as always and very informative however I would like to see the best to worst under $15k or even $12k because for many of us $20k is nearly unattainable and our initial “big purchase” from an AD is probably not $20k either - it’s more likely $10k such as an OP or entry level Datejust. On the other hand a purchase from a grey market dealer is more likely to quickly supplement a collection or as you all do - find something “rare” like the Hulk you talked about - which is my personal grail - so very glad you have that one as an A! 😂

[@Dj74033]

Unsure why all had to have 4 within. Hard pressed to see the exp2 as a worst.

[@mkong88]

I like how these prices have the LB premium baked into them but he says “can be found on the market”. Subtract $1k-2k for actual market prices I’m seeing as of today

[@drewhunkins7192]

I'm a huge fan of the Subby no-date and the Air King.

[@gdlife68]

It’s not all about the sports models. There are plenty of Date just folks out there. I think you need to give the DJ a bit more respect I’m sure they are great sellers for you

[@MrTallAndy]

Can we please have 'green' as best and 'red' as worst 🥴

[@OfficerCalebski]

Best comment on the internet

[@Anderson-j3r1s]

The bezel of the Yachtmaster scratches like hell and makes the watch look bad real fast.

[@shaqthatguy]

I think the Wimbledon datejust and root beer is the nicest Rolex under 20k

[@sharktimewatch]

There may be a couple of personal preferences (date/just) changes, but I'm not mad with your assessment.

[@TheSpread1]

Sprite on Jubilee should be in the Best category

[@geoffhamby9384]

The 126713 is a truly great looking watch in person. Feels like a modern creation of a vintage design.

[@DannyDabs420]

I’m looking to get my first Rolex, leaning toward a submariner but I love the gmt Batman….

[@OBZ-f7j]

Let's rank terrible hair transplants

[@frankphilpot]

No need. Theres just one rank

[@ChrisMetz-c1e]

Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MaMaCoo I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

[@FABM27]

Root Beer is defo in BEST category. Also the James Cameron.

[@u.u.u9969]

So GMTs are the way to go I see.

[@thedownshiftchannel]

It’s hard to put an OP below a Datejust? It literally is a lower tier watch. I love both but look at the retail prices and the finish of both. The Datejust has a rich history and massive choice of options so it’s difficult to agree with you on it

[@MegaAnimal81]

How About the SD43?

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

Why would you put OPs over Datejusts?

[@MrGarnettmiller]

I’m not sure you know what you’re doing. And where do you find these prices?

[@MultiYgy]

Redo the segment but instead of brand new prices. Consider pre owned prices

[@DanielSheridan-c7e]

As an owner of an Explorer 40 I am very confused haha

[@HOKA..75]

Now do one for over 20k. I’m sure you will 😜

[@wheelswanch]

Bluesy at a C and Cyclops at a D? Ummmm.......no!!!!

[@Seconds84]

You need to put this tier list in the worst column. Brutal.

[@daxone5314]

Dumb rankings. Starbucks is a B all day. Garbage YELLOW OP is a D. Sprite is C (at best). Skydweller D and careful because I might prefer the milgauss at D and push that sky down into loserville. Explorer II back at D, and you are on #$&*ing drugs if you think that two tone GMT is at Best, switch it with Batman. Get it together bro.

[@neilmartin6397]

Not feeling this ranking, but hey all good

[@MrWondi]

20000:1 odds he keeps that line up

[@petergiffin1270]

TWMID. Don't pay more than retail ever, for nothing

[@nutnspecial5027]

Nice work Petty King😂

I choose a Bluesy and sprite

[@Aittam_YT]

Wimbledon steel and Sprite. TOP. 👍👍👍💛💛💛

[@realrockrolla]

Pepsi is number 1 no competition here.Than i’ll put the Wimbledon DJ on 41 in steel with jubilee and on the 3 th has to be the bluesy

[@cbell5017]

Pepsi if you want what everyone else wants. Better to be unique.

Where's the two tone Yachtmaster?

Running out to buy entire D row

You missed the sea dweller

[@michaelchristian174]

that is spot on, the surprised that the Batgirl is not your #1 seller over the Pepsi. Love both of them and the channel.

[@enriquesanchezlasa2157]

Sorry but the blusy is one of the more beauyful rolex watches., should put in first or second top choices.

[@Art_Vandelay_]

No SD43?! My 8.25" loves it!! Love the channel!!

Bro, stop trying to hang in the hairline. It doesn’t want you. Liberate yourself. Do it for yourself. Then, for us. Much love my friend. Go bald. Just do it. You’ll be fine.

Hello Adrian I think you did a mistake there that green OP at least for me should be in the best column That's my rent about this video lol have a delightful day

[@pjchling8088]

Why ? Because you have one? A simple 3 hander not worth the premium. You can get other dials at/under list.

[@robmeg]

A Yellow OP over a Milgaus? Get outta here

[@gaffs82]

Hairline in the bottom tier

[@grasscla]

Good luck getting any steel GMT at msrp. My AD told me they aren’t even allowing people in the waitlist for those. Rootbeer should be atleast B just because at least it’s obtainable

[@frankphilpot]

Rolex will eventually be uncool in the future and easily available. Mark my words. Trends move.

[@BastianMartin13]

Where 👏 is 👏 the 👏 COKE???

[@Tknight2324]

What a dumb list! This guy just likes hype pieces. He wants people to look at that hairline

[@Dee-b7b]

This dude has the Dayona on top. A watch that that it’s price is dropping and it’s one of the most overrated Rolex watches out there. Meanwhile he has a 2 tone Datejust 41 at the bottom. A beautiful watch that its price basically hasn’t moved since Covid. He’s eager to sell the hype Covid junk that most people don’t want. I’m sure he will always find a few suckers out there but that batch is getting smaller and smaller.

[@Foodfightmike]

Milgauss is the A

[@justinhamill954]

So was your goal just to fill every column with the same amount of watches is exactly what it seems like😮💩

I tend to agree with Adrian's assessment on these watches. He deals with this day in and day out, so by vulture of his experience and knowledge I can't argue his point. Nice video Adrian. 😊
