This watch right here, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 124300, is, I believe, the best watch Rolex makes, better than the Daytona, the Submariner-all of them. That’s a bold claim for sure, so let me take a moment to explain what I mean.

No, you’ve got it upside down, Rolex are calling the shots not the flippers, this is their strategy. It was predictable they would cease production of this model.

I tried to buy a Coral OP 41 at $15k and got the run around from flippers. They wouldn't even take that, the only legit offer was to buy it at $22k, which is almost 4x MSRP. That said, that watch is being asked for even more. I hadn't bought a Rolex before and just held off because none of them really appealed to me in the way that I said "Yeah I want that to be my first Rolex", but flippers have absolutely ruined the brand for me. I was willing to pay almost 3x for the watch but they want 4x. It's all just a game for them. So fuck the flippers and fuck Rolex for letting it get this bad. I was hyped to try to get one, but now I realize I'd be a dumb-ass for buying into all that BS. Do yourself a favor and spend your money with another company.

Also, I just knew it wasn't going to last long, and it kinda checked all of the boxes for me, so I was willing to pay a large premium. But to be willing to pay 3x msrp and then still get the run around? Just sort of made me question the whole thing.

You nailed it, the OP is easily their best watch for the exact reasons you mentioned, except for 1 thing: In 1925 Patek introduced, for the first time, a Perpetual Calendar movement on the wrist. Since then the word "perpetual" has ALWAYS been reserved for that complication NOT as a synonym for "Automatic" or "Self winding"... so why does Rolex continue to be the only watch company ever to use that word in that way? It's because the word "perpetual" is also accompanied with prestige and prowess and expertise. All things Rolex wants us to believe they have/are... even in their specs for movements they list "perpetual, self-winding movement"... if this wasn't a ploy to just sound more prestigious and fool the average Joe, why then the redundancy? It's disingenuous and an out right lie... in fact, contradicting themselves further, they use the exact same movements in the Cellini line but never the word Perpetual... Drop the word perpetual on their dials, and the Oyster, period (as it should be called), would in fact be a perfect watch and easily their best...
@Biriadan
@Biriadan 2 жыл бұрын
Perpetual as in both "perpetually wound" because it winds itself and because the rotor can rotate perpetually. Other automatic winding mechanisms at the time had a limited range of motion for the rotor and you could feel a "thunk" on your wrist if it reached the end of it's range of motion.

Think about it Rolex only really has three watch lines. The Oaster line and the Submariner line and Cellini. You can argue all the other ones are just added complications to either the Oyster or Submariner and most of time its just a change in the dial. Does Rolex make good watches of course, but they're mainly hype and marketing, which people get mad at Tag and Hublot for.

Kudos for the video and the narrative; awesome, awesome, awesome ! I love these videos. Now, the watch seems nice but the grey market price is hype I categorically refuse to get into. At some point either the hype will cool down significantly or Rolex will increase their retail prices and do something to better trace their watches through garantees/warrantees to detect the flippers. Since each watch as a serial number, it would be a matter of registering the watch _ assuming it is recent, still under garantee/warrantee _ on Rolex's website whilst leaving a message that it was acquired through grey market so that Rolex could immediately trace then dismantle all of that supply chain... This would work irrespective of wether the watch was acquired with or without papers as the watch serial number is engraved on the watch... Is Rolex willing to dismantle this ? Only time will tell...

Another video about Rolex. To go with a video about how Tudor is better than Rolex, how Grand Seiko is better than Rolex, and the Rolex updates we missed at W&W. Have you folks considered you might benefit from a Rolex detox? Heavy is the head that sells the crown I guess...

my only Rolex i purchased was 30 years ago. I heard they made a good dive watch, and since i was a diver i figured what the hell. Walked into an AD , pointed and paid , effortless . Today i hear its a bit different. A shame really because i would like to buy one for my son and the new "Sprite" lefty for me. ( Yes i am lefty predominantly ) I can wait lets see what Rolex does to alleviate the situation. Good luck to all !

There's a good video on the Not So Obvious watches, where he talks about how every "righty" watch is actually perfect for left handed people, because if you wear it on your right wrist, the crown points to your shoulder, away from the wrist, and its not in the way and more protected. So by that logic, this new watch is actually perfect for right handed people, who wear watches on their left wrist, and the crown points to the shoulder... so any regular watch is actually the more practical choice for lefties

By your tone I’d say you’d have a good chance at getting them fairly soon. I wanted the Explorer 214270 when the hype was fairly high. I went to an AD and they said I’d have to wait 18month at least. Then when I told them I plan on climbing mountains in Scotland and that it was a 21st birthday gift to myself they managed to get it for me in 3 months. This is because that convinced them I wasn’t going to resell it (and I haven’t). If you tell them you got a dive watch years ago and that you want it for your son then I’m sure you won’t have to wait that long at all.

Guys, love the videos and podcast. Amazing work! However, we all know that Rolex took these ideas and improved them ... Hans Wilsdorf or Alfred Davis did not Invent them. The problem with pushing the notion rather than being first to capitalize on those inventions is that it is not properly educational. Lots of shade on Omega, hope you do a video on Omega's innovations, or Longines, et cetera. I know you know Rolex only found its recent success from going up-market through careful brand engineering, much like the birth of diamonds as the ONLY wedding ring that should be worn by DeBeers. Off my soapbox. Rolex is dead, Long live Rolex!
