Engine turned bezel, pie pan dial, open 6 and 9, butterfly rotor, kissing 40, meters first and many more. Great video. Keep it up, WatchBox!

[@2naDave]

Excellent episode. Very informative. One of the best in the series.

[@the1916company]

Thanks Simon!

[@mikem7114]

Excellent show!!Love the graphics and the overall presentation. With a Shawdow Stevens esque voice you delivered the people some Need to know Rolex knowledge.

[@the1916company]

A nice Rolex 101! Thanks for watching Mike! - WatchBox Team

[@cardinalj]

The rolex Explorer 2 polar dial Is always one of my favorites for a regular model.

[@JB-fk7ed]

Thought of a few more Rolex specific terminology : Cosmograph - engine turned bezel - Steve McQueen explorer - wait list - bluesy - oyster flex

[@the1916company]

Waitlist - 😂. Thanks for adding these! -Team WatchBox

[@easyeagle3730]

What do they call the decision to create the most scratch inducing polished center links of the GMT Master II? Anti-scratch resistant?

[@jeffb321]

Any idea what UZ5 means? Its stamped on my Rolex clasp somewhat beside the RolexSA

[@benwong1111]

Cool video! A few were missing though. Those words on the dial. Oyster case, perpetual movement, superlative chronometer, etc

[@agm1644]

I was hoping for the same thing. Great content, nonetheless.

[@the1916company]

Good additions!

[@UXXV]

Great vid - ones I know of would be Oystersteel (new name for Rolex 904L steel), Parachrom - as in the magentic resistive metal alloy used in hair springs, ghost bezel (faded aluminium inserts), Chromalight - Rolexs lume product etc

[@the1916company]

Nice additions UXXV!

[@GAngel880]

I did. Not read the previous posts, but I didn’t see mentioned the 1601 date just “wide boy “. Thanks

[@joemash4193]

Ghost bezel, big crown and bubblebacks possibly could've been mentioned.

[@FirestormAA]

Great input on the terms that Rolex collectors used. Thanks appricated

[@the1916company]

Thanks Alvin - we are just trying to get everyone up to speed on the lingo! Thanks, as always, for your support of our videos. --Team WatchBox

[@danielareson6008]

Great work on the graphics!

[@the1916company]

We put a ton of work into the graphics, we're glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching! - WatchBox Team

[@bubbab7792]

Good tutorial Jon. Rolex definitely has set itself apart from the rest. Best marketing out there. Thanx. 👍

[@the1916company]

Jon is awesome! As you said, Rolex has definitely set itself apart from the rest! Glad you enjoyed our video Bubba! - WatchBox Team

[@sati1011]

Wrong, Rolex didn’t use jubilee on Pepsi for the first time this year. Jubilee came with the previous gmt as well.

[@Khanh.Nguyen369]

I thought this was going to be a boring episode but happily proven wrong. Great story and graphics.

[@the1916company]

Thanks for giving it a shot! -Team WatchBox

[@EmilioCardenal]

Great video! How about the term called "Frankenstein" rolex? This is a term used to describe a watch that has been repaired or altered with non genuine rolex parts. This can be more common some vintage pieces.

[@the1916company]

Stay tuned for coverage of Frankenstein watches in a future episode. Thanks for watching! --Team WatchBox

[@agm1644]

Top notch content, as expected.

[@the1916company]

Thanks Arturo!

[@jyoung92082]

Great episode! Always wondered where the soda and superhero names came from. I like the Kermit (The frog) over the Hulk

[@the1916company]

Thanks Jermaine. Glad we could provide some knowledge!

[@Reskiy]

Another great vid! But I always thought the "spider dial" referred to the look resembling a spider's web.

[@sutats]

Yeah. Spider web.

[@superscope1996]

"Rare Bird" - the 1630, which is an automatic, two-tone DateJust, trapped in an Oysterquartz case!

[@psychogeorge]

Ghost bezel, nipple dial, gilt dial, panda, reverse panda, oyster steel, trip lock crown, chromalight, red sub, milsub, double swiss

[@silentsounds9116]

Interesting. Good job!

[@caseytrader]

Excellent video

[@kevorknourian5442]

Thank you for the valuable information

[@the1916company]

you're welcome! Let us know what other topic you'd like to see us cover!

[@ccaserto]

"904 L" Stainless Steel. That term made an impact on me and Rolex newbies should be aware of what it means... Cheers!

[@fpoynton1604]

Super fun for sure. Gotta love Rolesor - I mean you just can't get any more macho then that - unless they can get Stallone to wear it - or a T rex. Lol. Nice job.

[@the1916company]

We have been thinking about getting the Hulk in our office a Rolex. That would be pretty macho: www.thewatchbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sow_image.jpg

[@fpoynton1604]

WatchBox Studios ---Omg. Lol × 2. A true classic- the boss himself - and I get the sense he's tough enough to face the green guy himself . - that is a Great company pic.!

[@tbd1613]

"Bluesy" Rolex GMT two tone gold with blue bezel.

[@neoLover23]

Maxi dial and case seems important for people To be aware of

[@the1916company]

Good ones Neo!

[@adolf-8834]

Well done.

[@the1916company]

Thanks todd!

[@connorgmehlin2986]

Super case, superlative chronometer, oyster perpetual, oysterflex...etc the list does go on!

[@the1916company]

It goes on and on! Thanks for watching! - WatchBox Team

[@robertorizzo3159]

good video but not true about the jubilee bracelet on the gmt master ii... they used this bracelet on other sports models...also not sure about that blueberry explanation..

[@Richie_P]

One would think they'd cover terms like "oyster" and "perpetual" and even "superlative chronometer." You know, the terms that are printed on virtually every non-cellini Rolex dial.

[@diegoog3654]

Let's not forget about the "nipple dial" and the "guilt dial". Great post 👍

[@maustintx]

Bluesy, Inverted 6 Daytona, Red line Sub. Swiss, T

[@waynestorey4622]

Shorty, the rolex explorer, 39mm with the hands from the previous 36mm explorer

[@pilotstyle123]

the ghost bezel

[@the1916company]

"Boo!" - Casper 👻👻👻 Jokes aside, thanks for watching! - WatchBox Team

[@sutats]

Bluesy is a model nickname that I just don't get

[@the1916company]

Some of the nicknames are more eccentric than others. Thanks for watching! 🔵 - WatchBox Team

[@tods.9947]

What about “unobtainium” which is what all Rolex watches are really made from. 😇

[@the1916company]

Ha! That's a great one! 😜 --Team WatchBox

[@Samson518]

Long E Double Red Meters First Open 6

[@classic-kool]

How about AFTER MARKET DIAL, AFTER MARKET DIAMONDS/JEWELS ..

[@bentremy]

Ghost bezel

[@newdvr]

Tuxedo Dial

[@friskjidjidoglu7415]

I thought this was going to explain other key terms like “oyster” and “perpetual”, etc. Guess not

[@DavideCecchini]

[@NigeOfCydonia]

Why is he wearing a lab mic when he is sitting under a boom mic?

[@the1916company]

Nige Reviews -- This is a technique used to capture the best possible sound given the location we were working with. The space was massive and had a lot of room for sound to travel. We wanted to keep it as contained as possible using both a lav and a boom to ensure we had multiple sources to pull audio from for maximum quality.

[@ifuknjk]

stella dials in day-date

[@patrickpko]

Panda Dial

[@jayremi4384]

Nice video but why sitting so awkwardly on such comfy armchair?Looks like you’re in the loo.

[@Gregsheppo66]

Bluesy.

[@mrg1911]

I don’t think Rolex uses, or has ever used these silly little nicknames for their watches. It cheapens the brand if anything.....to an almost Junior High girl’s clique. I never hear nicknames for Patek Philippe, or Vacheron Constantin references.

[@lifeofzayan]

Bakelite, kermit

[@jamesll9496]

You missed the most important term in watch collecting! SHITTER--->anything not a rolecks, coined by the great AC3!!!

[@jamesll9496]

the name has too many letters, too lazy to type

[@Samson518]

Bart Simpson?

[@gorter23]

rolex is overhyped imo. it is just too bad that the brand has so much market because of brand marketing and not due to great watches and innovations

[@jamespick3007]

Kermit

[@tomkhong9828]

They all look so identical , forget about luxury , where’s the exclusivity? Everyone seems to wear one, fake or real it doesn’t matter, they like roaches, help!!!

[@camarocarl7130]

Gay stuff about modern Rolex. I thought this would be serious.

[@the1916company]

Thanks camaro Carl, what kind of content would have been serious enough for you? Maybe we can cover it in a future episode. --Team WatchBox
