The One Luxury Watch To Own? | Rolex DateJust 126300

[@georgetown8986]

It would nice if Rolex offered a brushed band on the Datejust. The bright polish is so difficult to maintain. Sharp watch.

[@Bowlerhatrebellion]

Congratulations on becoming a father. This Rolex is pretty much all you need.

[@gynechiatrist]

Many thanks for the review. Have frequently thought the Explorer was the perfect one. But you have made a compelling case for this one. Hope that fatherhood is as much fun as bringing home a new watch every day. Congrats on both

[@carolinaguy9955]

Beautiful watch. And congratulations on the birth of you first child Anders!

[@TimeAndCrown]

Thank you! It’s a fantastic life changing thing.

[@carolinaguy9955]

@@TimeAndCrown Yes it is. And the watch ain't bad either 😂

Beautiful watch, especially with the smooth bezel. You’re right about it being a scratch magnet. I wish Rolex would produce a titanium version.I prefer the duller surface, too.

[@Bob_Dobalina123]

Beautiful presentation and wonderfully articulated. I hope to own this exact same reference one day.

[@RJ986S]

Congrats on the watch, it's a beauty. I purchased one earlier this yr (Apr 2023, in the same configuration) as a b'day gift to myself. Imho, the DJ41 black dial is kind of a cool combination of the Exp 40, the OP41, with the added funtionality of a date. It's a great watch!

[@caseyzaft6734]

Did you buy grey or from an AD?

[@TimeAndCrown]

@@caseyzaft6734 Grey - it was pre owned.

[@MsGman598]

I have this very wstch and colour. I totally agree with you on everything. For me it is the most underrated Rolex in the range. The shape and design of the Oyster bracelet are just perfect. I only wear mine at weekends but wear it for everything. Looks great with a suit and great with jeans and t-shirt. Great review 👏

[@UltraDoug]

Thanks for this review. I’ll be purchasing the Rhodium dial next year. A little more flash, but still understated. Great review!

[@TheLumeRoom]

Congrats, a lovely piece! I just picked up my new silver dial DJ41 from my AD this week and I love it! 👍🏻

[@life-onmars8223]

Love it, especially the smooth sporty bezel. But personally I prefer the white dial. Agree about the blue dial.

[@pwally2714]

I have the fluted bezel / jubilee bracelet Mother of Pearl dial and diamond markers. It glistens 📸

[@smr32061]

Black dial is really nice and classic. I decided to go for the white dial and smooth bezel on oyster bracelet like yours. The bezel will scratch over time. Also the polished oyster links. Still, it's a great watch. I rotate back and forth with my Submariner. Congrats on being a Dad, by the way.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Double congratulations on being a father and getting the Datejust. A great review showing the positives and the not so positive aspects of the watch. Great that the movement was sorted under Rolex warranty as well.

[@fayeh4412]

I love it when he wore a rolex to mow the lawn.......

[@TimeAndCrown]

😀

[@ShadowJ20]

Can a Milgauss and Datejust be in the same collection? Are they different enough?

[@MrZanzibar123]

Hand-some! Date-just is the classic. Congrats too!

[@gelatus_watches]

Great review and beautiful watch. I agree with you that this style of watch is the perfect everyday watch. If I could only have one watch, it would be this one or the Omega Aqua Terra.

[@michaelriera6277]

Only one can be purchased new at an AD….

[@loriosterweil982]

Congrats on the baby and the watch. It’s beautiful.

[@NandaLinnAung]

Beautiful watch indeed.. The light plays really well.. Congratulations.

[@NinjaWarriorDude416]

I got the silver dial and jubilee band... I stopped wearing my other Rolexs.. this is the cheapest one but the most comfortable. I personally think the smooth bezel only looks good on the jubilee and the president bracelet.

[@rex86uk]

Defo! That’s the config I have with the smooth bezel and jubilee bracelet and it looks on par with a day date platinum

[@Jdinaz]

Shame on that gray dealer for shipping a watch with that sort of flaw. Beauty of a watch though.

[@thewatchloungechris]

Congrats on the new baby !

[@davedaniels9563]

Waiting on my blue dial , nice watch good info .

[@Adam-jk7rk]

у меня такие 126300 это потрясающее сочетание вкуса

[@preiudeh22a]

What causes a watch to be off that many seconds per day? Does that happen to all automatic watches?

[@TimeAndCrown]

There’s a lot of causes. The watch may be magnetized, the movement may need cleaning and lubrication, it can be caused by a drop or bump.

[@berare777]

Congratulations to you and you family !

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

Congratulations!

[@larrycannon166]

Hey, a question for you. Is the dial a sunburst pattern instead of gloss? I had a 39mm Explorer and liked its dial, and am a bit concerned that a sunburst black isn't going to be as sporty. If it is sunburst, is it very noticeable? Thanks much

[@TimeAndCrown]

Hi Larry. It has a very slight sunburst effect. I chose the black because I think the blue is too shiny.

[@bnick25352535]

Can't go wrong with a DJ41.

[@kevorknourian5442]

It’s a awesome watch but I love that Piaget watch

[@buzzufy]

Congratulations on your purchase. That is such a beautiful watch

[@blaketaylor9317]

Don't get me wrong, it's a handsome watch for sure but $9,100 for a 3 year old, simple, stainless steel, 3-hander with a damaged movement with no fine finishing? Brutal.

[@TimeAndCrown]

That’s how it is with Rolex. Fortunately it’s a free market so you can buy something else.

[@michaelriera6277]

I hear you but the dial reads ROLEX

[@pwally2714]

Damaged movement? $9100 which includes a service to get it at +/- 0 you meant to say. I agree with this video for the most part, I think the perfect everyday piece is a fluted bezel/ jubilee black dial or white dial Datejust 41. My Rolex DJ 41 Mother of Pearl dial diamond markers is one of my favorite pieces I have. I also have a 18k Vacheron Constantin fluted bezel / hand engraved (kind of a big deal), Tudor black bay steel, 39mm Tudor 1926, Zenith and a 18k Universal Geneve Polerouter Date

[@georgescott6124]

I hear what your saying but if he went to sell that watch tomorrow he would get 10.000 for it and that’s why ppl buy rolex

[@key4duty]

I can't choose, really would love to have a gmt master II, but for the grey price I rather have this or the explorer and a submariner

[@laurentchabaud5042]

Diametre 39,9mm ?

[@WrongTimeWatch]

It is a great watch, but a bit too expensive for me. I would prefer the GMT for just a little bit more.

[@smr32061]

These days, the GMT is a lot more expensive than the Datejust.

[@WrongTimeWatch]

@@smr32061 Yes, on the secondary market. I was talking from the AD. One can dream, right?

[@smr32061]

@@WrongTimeWatch of course. 🙂

[@berare777]

Nice watch and video !

[@robertlulek1634]

Yes, if you have the Jubilee bracelet, it will be much less of a scratch magnet

[@papricep6248]

I don't know man, the 30 seconds at 6pm is sus. Rolex puts a crown there.

[@tudorserban111]

The early production models had 30 at 6pm.

[@evh4611]

Congratulations buddy. On your baby child, that is 😁👍

[@pwally2714]

The perk of the jubilee bracelet would be: that it's harder to see scratches Arguably more breathable and comfortable And also it wears like a 47mm bc the bracelet pulls straight down, rather than the 51mm with the oyster, as it wears a bit bigger.

[@japd7897]

Do you go to the beach with it?, swim with it?, go hiking?, ... I need at least another one.

[@martinchivers7341]

Lovely watch. Congrats on becoming a father.

Just don't trade the Tag Heuer Aquaracer🤔

[@markoliver9581]

Not sure about the integrity of the dealer who sold you this .. they would have known the movement was faulty before they sold you it ..

[@TimeAndCrown]

He offered a full refund but I wanted to have the watch serviced anyway to get a free authenticity check.

[@markoliver9581]

@@TimeAndCrown Thats fair enough .. especially if the watch was still under warranty .. 😁

Are any of your watches going to be passed down to family?!
