Selling His Rolex Sprite for a Steel Daytona

[@craigmcbride526]

Great to see a Sea-Dweller on the channel. Such an underrated watch.

[@michaelelliothall1544]

Often dismissed by people who have never worn a sea dweller.

[@JammyDodger45]

Or by people who aren't built like The Hulk It's a hideously sized watch worn by Muppets.

[@cookingwithwatches]

126500ln with black dial is a beautiful watch, also Sprite is outstanding. That’s a very hard trade. If I could, I would own both 🤔

Love Hendo. Needs his own sub series that shows him polishing watches

[@gbvoul]

do they have the correct hands?

[@ianmedium]

Another thing about the Oysterquartz is that the movement is a high accuracy one. If memory serves it is around five seconds a year! A regular quartz is around fifteen seconds a month! Rolex will still service them and they are ultra reliable. Hendo, you had a Beta 21, Wow, as you know, that movement was used in several high end watches. I have a GP one, still works perfectly fifty years later. As you know, the only thing with those is the short battery life, My other GP quartz, the first mass produced Swiss quartz had a regular battery life. I know you are younger than me but you were around in the seventies and what is now called the "quartz crisis" was back then called the "quartz revolution". I remember getting my first quartz for my Thirteenth birthday, a Sekonda which had a Russian made quartz, I loved the way the seconds hand ticked, marvelled at the time keeping and I felt like I was a person from the future wearing it!

Hersonissos! Thanks for tuning in

[@keirraabdiaziz]

the nkuwan would be super cute during the fall with a nude or tan or even tonal outfit! i’m thinking a tan wool coat with that bag!!

[@zoomwheelsbrian7782]

I would hate to sell a watch to Jon , he’s ruthless

Thank you for the video

The Seadweller was less than £50 more than the Submariner in the late 80’s. Even in the early 2000’s the Sub Date was 2350 vs the Dweller at 2440

[@Watchtrader]

Pretty close then. I have a 1970’s price list showing the Submariner at 138 and the Sea-Dweller at 153, so a 10.9% price increase. Today the different is about 29%. Either way, more expensive. Aside from price, what other factors do you think contribute to less Sea-Dwellers?

[@Alex_J44]

People just didn’t see them as anything other than the same watch. The sub date is ultimately enough and wore flatter. IMPO the Dweller (of that era and before) should be much more desirable

[@johnprosser5035]

Have you changed the voice of the first fella!? Sounds weird.

[@Watchtrader]

We boosted the sound so it’s clearer to understand so that might be why it sounds a little weird to you. In an ideal world we’d be able to capture perfect audio but we just have to do our best in the shop. Thanks!

[@TICafeRacer]

Harry does a great job.

[@davegreen2009]

That guys crazy changing the sprite, it’s going to rocket when it’s discontinued

[@russellis6993]

Yeah but it’s ugly as sin … you can buy a watch because you like it rather than just because it’s worth more you know 😅

[@SILKY_999]

@@russellis6993 it’s a beautiful watch needs to be seen in person to appreciate it 😁

Pretty sure that guy took it deep in the shorts trading it for a 5 year old batgirl 🤦🏾

[@mark_n_r]

Jesus Harry let Hendo talk !!!!

[@Alex_J44]

FYI: Rolex made other quartz watches other than the Oysterquartz

[@Watchtrader]

Correct, the beta 21 movement watches are one to read about for anyone interested. Cheers

[@divyv20]

Hey Watchtrader & Co , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?

The Rolex 17000 looks the most like a PRX.

The Bluesy sub is offensively ugly. I have no idea why anyone would wear one, let alone fork out money for one. Yuck.

[@DavidWilliams-zn2nc]

That’s your opinion, I love it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HydrogenAlpha]

@@DavidWilliams-zn2nc It'd be a boring place if we all liked the same stuff. But you're still objectively wrong about the bluesy 😜

[@David-yd6ur]

@@HydrogenAlpha I also think it's a beautiful watch, unlike most - if not all - Pateks.

It’s the best looking Rolex ever made!
