"So forth..." counter on fire

[@nheil4778]

Another awesome episode. Thanks for sharing your watch knowledge. All the best to you guys.

[@allenu342]

Learned a lot from your videos Marco, thank you!

[@noobtube522]

When the priority lies on the passion we all have for watches. You get something nice and pure as this. Best segment on your channel! Good you cut out the deadweight, that was focused on a 16000 square feet office and trying in any way to put himself before all! He did bring attention to this channel, but God is my witness that it wouldn't have ended well! Keep the good content rolling in🎉

Mad respect for Marco, cheers!

[@marvinvaneyck2503]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

From far the best segment, with the speaking bible! Watching it several times in a row and taking notes, you are learning so may things, and as a collector and watch lover that I am, it is blessed bread! Thanks Marco, keep it up!!!😊

That rootbeer on your wrist is amazing!

[@casa2109]

Great episode, as always. What a beautiful double-red. And, though not a diamond dial guy, I think the Zenith Daytona four-line is a gorgeous piece. Then again, I'm a PM Daytona lover. Thanks, Marco!

[@kimcoulter806]

Fantastic info on the Daytona’s! Really well done Marco. 👊👊

[@francofiore8517]

Always a treat

[@Teymurphell2]

Yup great vide!

[@gilicat0923]

Nice and educational content…..👍

[@PapriceP]

Not true that the helium escape valve has anything to do with depth rating. The depth rating is exclusively attributed to caseback, case and crystal thickness.

[@SouthTexasLivin]

That rootbeer is amazing

[@slaskslask5988]

Hands are obviously replaced?

[@mevebarr713]

Definitely these are the Best Rolex vintage watches ever. Double Red Tropicals are the Holy Grail of all rolexes. I am looking forward to buy one. They are very rare to find the original one owner examples.

[@ericrebhan8041]

Nice job 👍 brother

[@vinnyfranciswatches]

Awesome!

[@m3sixspeed824]

Thank You, Marco! Really enjoyed learning all this history. You know your stuff! I’ve been lusting after a more modern 116520 but after watching this should look at at 16520. I’ll give you guys a call. You’ve guys were excellent on my last transaction. Thank you.

[@mnicolini300]

Thank you for the feedback!! We do have 2 16520 in stock both with papers

[@perpetualgrind1707]

IMO the quickest tell for a Zenith Daytona is that the subdials are centered on the dial. They sit slightly higher on the newer references.

[@PapriceP]

There are some very rare early Daytonas where the seconds are at 3 oclock.

[@draganbalzic4493]

3:01 Are you saying Helium enters the watch’s case while submerged in water or does the Helium enter the watch’s case when the divers are living in their Helium rich, high pressure, barometric habitat for a month? *Helium concentrations in seawater are no higher than 4-7 ppt and Helium is the least water-soluble monatomic gas, and one of the least water-soluble of any gas. (*Source: Science)

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

Your description of how the helium escape valve works is completely wrong.

[@adamethancrow]

Music is too loud.

[@wernersouthview]

36000 beats pr min is not 4-5 Hz it is 600 Hz. Marco messed his beats up here😊

Thank you for calling out other dealers, yes there are bad actors out there calling sth that is not what they advertised. Humbling to hear from a dealer.
