Rolex Submariner "Smurf" White Gold Reviewed: Men's Watches For Holiday Shopping 2020

Contact [e-mail] for pricing and availability; Either I have it, or I can get it!
Learn about luxury watches while shopping from the comfort of your kitchen table. Tim Mosso’s “Weekend Watches” draws Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Omega watches from the world leading WatchBox inventory of preowned luxury watches. All of the best watch brands are here and ready for your review as Tim leads a global audience of watch collectors through KZbin’s only curated wristwatch gallery.
Rolex launches our show with the “big three” Rolex watches as you’ve rarely seen them: in precious metal.
A Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer” with full rose gold case and bracelet showcases the 2018 Baselworld standout’s first-ever use of rose gold on a Rolex GMT. The Rolex Submariner “Smurf” arrived in 2008, but the year have done nothing to dim the appeal of this dive watch’s white gold case, blue lacquered dial, blue ceramic bezel, and elegant wrist presence. Motorsports fans will thrill to the inclusion of the charismatic yellow gold Rolex Daytona on a “Oysterflex” strap-bracelet. This particular combination of Cosmograph Daytona in yellow gold with two-tone dial promises peerless presence trackside at the 24 Hours of Daytona each January.
The Omega Seamaster is the eternal rival to the Rolex Submariner, and today’s Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean America’s Cup is no exception. The 43.5mm stainless steel limited edition of 2,021 pieces is a commemorative model released to promote Omega’s sponsorship of Emirates Team New Zealand, the official America’s Cup defender that will mount its defense in Auckland at the 36th America’s Cup. This dive watch has been modified for regatta use thanks to a unidirectional dive bezel that includes five-minute and ten-minute countdown marks; these are the most common countdowns used in regatta racing.
Finally two exceptional Patek Philippe watches grace our stage. The 2017 Patek Philippe 5960/1A-010 - the “ebony dial” - was built for all of eight months. A rare stainless steel Patek Philippe sports watch on a steel bracelet would be incentive enough for watch collectors to take notice, but this value standout adds the appeal of a flyback chronograph, an annual calendar, a power reserve, and a sinuous case profile. In contrast, the Patek Philippe 5180/1R is an exercise in minimalism. Reductive skeletonization and freehand engraving have created a masterpiece from the basic Patek 240 micro-rotor automatic, and this 39mm Patek Calatrava is a showcase for its scintillating hand-crafted movement.

That GO is seriously awesome!!! And that 5180,,,,,, gosh is out of this world!!!!!

[@jayebirdjb7143]

Your familiarity with the nuances of each and every watch you review is phenomenal and mesmerizing. 37: 30 The quintessence of dust, waxing poetic Tim. 👍

[@richardbaptist5080]

all great watches today. The Patek skeleton watch is truly a work of art and that zenith is my new favorite of the defy line.

[@absoluteb22]

The Smurf looks just perfect.

[@elijahhdelosreyes]

Hi Tim, You really are the best in the business at what you do. Always excellent work and enjoy watching these videos. You are the man for watches on KZbin!

[@davidgottfried5819]

If I pay $40k for the smurf, I'm not shoveling my driveway. LOL

[@randyallen2771]

Hey Tim, we're rolling high today. You're right , the PP 5960 is more then a match for any 5711 but, while the craftsmanship is impressive, I find the PP skeleton more then a bridge too far. That El Primero 21 is also impressive and probably my favorite EP. Coming down from the heights of precious metal to sea level, that Seamaster is a nice, useful watch. Thanks for the show and have fun in the snow. ;-)

[@yoinkhaha]

G.O. FTW. Honorable mentions to the blue and white gold Submariner for a stunning color combo and the gold skeleton Calatrava as an interesting diversion.

[@Daavi85]

The PP 5960 black dial, red second hand on bracelet may just be my favorite PP of all, beautiful and unique!

[@styx4947]

That's true for the case back, not being a huge Rolex fan, I still can appreciate them sticking to the solid case backs, for tradition and more gold content. I don't think anyone can deny that Rolex makes their watches very well, weather you like them as a brand or not. I know guys that have ten year old Rolex's and they never needed service yet.

Wearing the PP Skeleton is akin to wearing a crazy art piece on your wrist. Love it!

[@lillevilindgren1240]

Lovely watch! Does the Smurf light up in dark?

[@yoroshikune08]

The final PP is just insanely cool. A masterpiece. However, my pick of the day, is that GO PanoMatic Counter XL. Lots of big pushers and wonderful display case back. I do agree with you, that Cosmograph Daytona is one yellow gold piece that I can really put on. Black and gold combination are just so sexy and awesome. Merry Christmas to you Tim and everyone in the studio.

[@edwardsauve4836]

That skeleton Pateck is out of this world , wow ! wowee wow wow !

Love the foudroyante! Love Journe’s Centigraphe better, but, it and this Zenith, live up to its definition... “1. striking as with lightning; sudden and overwhelming in effect; stunning; dazzling.”

[@wheelsandwatches]

Like many main stream manufacturers GS NEED to add a micro adjusting clasp to their bracelets. Also, slim down the sports range. They are lovely watches but both is these things stop me buying one.

[@styx4947]

And what is the point?, exactly of a power reserve indicator on an automatic watch?

[@jeanlefranc3817]

1920’s special effect. Charming and maybe with good environmental credentials if printed on recycled paper. If the trend continues, we’ll see Tim shooting videos in his kitchen with a gen 3 iPhone fastened to a chair , next to the window for sufficient lighting. Go Lo-tech !

[@leeattwood5443]

Some beautiful watches I had to sell my patek a few years ago , can’t afford to replace it now 🤦🏻‍♂️ . We are living in strange times.

[@robertstuart1546]

How‘s the shock resistance on that last patek I wonder...?

[@1000lightyrs]

FP Journe watches are so beautiful and cool looking. So why is it that whenever they show up here I fast forward?! I just don't feel it. Maybe it's like how I could never get into Dire Straits in the 80's when I was in high school. Frikkin love them now though!

[@bennettcain635]

Oh that Root Beer.... But wait... there's more. Flip 3 of the best Rolex to kick off the episode! My my. One of the best AP I have ever seen (sorry but not much of a fan of the RO). Give me the VC any day! I know... Moser lose their value but man...I love so many of them. I would pay to lose on some of them they are just worth it! Journe...meh... but their movements are rediculously fine... oooh the Zenith....My favourite of this episode... Patek 596018.

[@salralph1548]

I do appreciate the Rolex

Weekend watches ! Yahoo !

[@rzr77]

Hi Tim, I know that you say De Bethune is your favorite brand. However, I notice that when you hold and describe certain Patek Philippe references, there is an exhilaration in your voice that transcends your tone when you speak of any timepiece from any other manufacture.

[@ryancurry5284]

Knowing how soft platinum is, a bezel made from it seems like it would be a nightmare.

[@ElliotDrinksWater]

I agree. Center links yes, bezel no.

[@jeffmitchell4372]

Platinum is harder than steel - far more dense and much more robust than white gold 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ryancurry5284]

it has been my experience, with platinum jewelry such as rings, wife’s wedding sets, mine, platinum is very soft. Susceptible to dents, dings, distorted shape. My mom had a 2ct rock in a platinum set and knocked it loose on a shopping cart. Benefits of it is when it scratches, it does so into itself. Therefor you don’t actually lose material as opposed to the other metals.

[@christophernichols9387]

@@jeffmitchell4372 um, no. Hardened steel can reach almost 400 vickers, whereas platinum will never reach 200. Somebody lied to you

Lol. That's not really too much of a "gold Rolex". I don't like the yellow gold either the stealth wealth is my choice, white gold "President" for me all the way. With that two tone and the Oyster Flex, it's not too shiny or too gaudy.

[@josephzamorajr]

Tim No Lange, how will I get through the weekend??? It’s ok the Zenith and the Glashutte stole the show.
