Hafiz, I've been watching your videos for a long time now.. the quality of your videos is absolutely impeccable both close up and wrist shots. Keep up bro!! Can you also please review the new 1908 with ice blue dial next?
This is one of the very few Rolex I love besides the plain OP. It’s very thin (by Rolex standards), wears perfectly on a normal to smaller sizes wrist, and extremely understated with a leather strap unlike most polished shiny flex crap Rolex makes. Wears way better than the Patek 6119 even though they are same size (I have both). My favorite is the white gold on white dial such elegance, but all 4 original dial looks nice. My favorite dress watch besides the JLC ultra thin moon phase.
I think if Rolex improves their overall finishing and stop mass producing their dress watches, give them more attention and increase the complications on it, they could rival both Patek Phillipe and Lange & Söhne. They have the money to do so and due to their marketing they already established one of the best positions possible. I think it will never happen due to their strategy, but it’s certainly would be a possibility for them.
It’s a good effort by Rolex but I am afraid when you say the movement finishing is ‘second-to-none’ you are radically overblowing it. Bevelling is machine made, the rotor finishing is poor etc. Look in the back of any Breguet Classique with guilloched rotors and so forth.
Love the watch but the messy printing (ink splash? below the X of ROLEX @3:59) is a no-go for a watch at this price. The open case back looks really cool though.
Could you make the left logo just a bit smaller? It is quite distracting. Especially as your videos were always so clean. Still a nice video of course 😌
Nicely presented but i feel all the videos are the same. Just another Rolex for the fanboys. Hence no interest to me. Sorry just saying as I see it. Bye
This watch is mediocre at best. It is too industrial to be a serious dress watch and yet not sporty enough to be a sports watch. This is a clear miss by Rolex
Strongly disagree, it is Definitly above a JLC Master and Even close to a 6119 patek in Terms of tactile Finishing Quality. The case is superb, the Proportions as well and the movement is robust yet beautiful. Name a better dress watch in that price point and with Those specs, i am curious.

Finally! Happy to see this channel recovered by YT!
Keep going Hafiz!
The community is with you ❤
Simplicity meets beauty, I’m not a watch dress guy but I would buy a 1908

I love the new one with the Ice Blue dial. Great cinematography Hafiz. You mention 3,6 and 9 numbers, I think you meant to say 3, 9 and 12. :)
I was hoping this goes unnoticed ;)
I’ll blame us too used to saying 3 6 9 :)
@@HafizJMehmood It took me 3 or 4 listens to pick it up ;)
Your content never disappoints!
Very nice. Would prefer a gloss black dial though.
A superb video as always. Thank you.
How would you compare the on wrist look and feel to a PP 6119?
Beautiful watch, very elegant.
I’ll still in love with my 126600 SD43 50th Anniversary Mark II

What's with the dust under the crystal? Looks like a poor assembly environment control at Rolex plants.
Nice take Hafeez

Great review as always! Is it me or is the movement not as beautiful as other well established dress watches?
It's indeed not at holy trinity level.
It's not you

Love it

I guess it's a small dust particle.
I’m not really into the 1908. I want to like it but it just feels expensive for what it is.
Fantastic
why so many particles/spots on the fluted bezel??? !!!!
Thank you so much for this review!
Clearly a machine finished movement. Sadly, Rolex trying to be what it is not.
Could you make the left logo just a bit smaller? It is quite distracting. Especially as your videos were always so clean. Still a nice video of course 😌
😊👍🙏
Love the watch hate the hands
No thanks, £20k for a machine finished movment? A pre-owned lange please
But Lange doesn’t look beautiful … I ain’t joking there is not one beautiful dress watch out there … like the old Pateks caltrava …
