I think it depends on the watch. If it's something you can wear everyday, I say go for the grail. A steel Daytona for instance, can be worn in any situation. If it's something like a DayDate you're gonna want something to wear daily.
@@drakechandler7859 True. Got my daily already but I’m debating between waiting years until I can get my grail or steadily buy watches every year or two. I wish I never got started haha

Dude. Also my grail. I’ve wanted this watch for 2 years now. Huge congrats!!!
love this video brother. My grail watch was a GMT II.. bought a bat girl last week now i want rose gold olive day date like you've got! keep up the content, loved the intro apart from the coffee pour..
Beautiful ! Sincere congratulations Christopher! An amazing timepiece and the best of the modern day-dates. Sip a cool Negroni with Miles in the background and savor your grail coming home! Salute🥃
She's a beauty!! I use to think you had to be a certain age to own an all gold "President," I don't think that anymore...I'm 64, it's a watch, a functional piece of jewelry. Don't know what you do for a living but I'd say by those callouses, you're are a working man...I mean that in a good way. So, good on you, you've earned it, young Man! Congratulations!!
@@ChristopherNegroniHa…callouses are never bad…it just shows you are active and probably use your hands to work, or workout in your case. Just watched your video again, happy for you, Man! Now where your watch in good health, be safe in unsafe environments and never mind all the haters.
I bought the same one on last summer at AD in Japan. In Japan, there is no so called waiting list so We have to go to AD frequently to get one. Recently, all of ADs are full with customers so I was really lucky at that moment and I understood why it is called Holy Grail when I faced it.
Damn! Negroni just hit us with a 3-2 curveball. Everyone’s knees got buckled, thinking a Daytona was being served up down the middle of the plate! Beautiful watch! Can’t imagine it going to a better collector. Congrats and enjoy!
i'm going to pick mine up in about a week, this is the perfect video for me to see the watch in different light ambients! thank you for the amazing content!
Does the bracelet become „dirty“ or fogged up due to sweat between the links?…Heard about that but not sure…second question: is the missing easy link a problem? Thank you 🙌
Congratulations on getting one of your grail pieces! I’d got the exact same watch from my AD two weeks ago and have been so happy since. I thought I’d be settled with the white gold version but am wrong. Everose gold just has a different look and shimmer under sunlight in particular. Be persistent and aim for a Daytona next. But I’d recommend not to waste your effort on anything less than one in precious metal.
Congratulations I’ve had opportunity to try it on twice and it is clean as hell. I owned the 40mm yellow gold black motif dial. Had to sadly sell it. But was great watch but your is very special. Just pure class
Congratulations on your grail watch. Less is more for sure. I have the same watch with the sun dust dial, love it. The bracelet is by far, the very best from the crown, Rolex. Great health to you and enjoy.
Amazing watch, congrats! A full precious metal bracelet Rolex is something every collector should get to experience. I was offered one of these back in 2017 and couldn't afford it at the time, but I've always thought this is the best day date. Maybe a platinum ice blue with baguettes would top it, but the value is much better in this piece. I agree, it's better than a Daytona... But a Daytona would be the icing on the cake. Then you can move on to Patek or some indies 😄
Grail watch for me and I fully understand your point about living up to the watch. I could probably buy it this year but I don’t deserve it yet. Next year I hope I’ll feel like i deserve it.
Yeah that’ll do! One of my grails too but more like one I’ll never own 😂 congratulations! Rose gold is the best precious metal and that green dial is insane!
Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming. Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming.

Congrats luv that watch good taste.. I would be afraid to wear that watch in Socal or here in Spain. I have to think hard where I am going or to wear sleeves going out in public or dinner with my ND41 ..
Chris, just picked up my DD40 champagne dial 2 weeks ago. I had imposter syndrome for the first couple days owning it for the same reasons you stated! But you’re absolutely right; this a piece to aspire to and to inspire you. Congratulations bro!
I acquired my grail DD40 everose olive dial 2 years ago and it still sings to me. I got the unexpected phone call and couln't pass on it eventhough I think it was a bit too soon to own it. Life is short so why not. I believe this reference will be discontinued soon.
I’m getting my day date soon (June/July according to my AD)! Also feel like I would get this later on but at age 35 this will be the year. Love the rose/olive combo but I’m going gold/black dial. Love the channel and wear it proudly!
Hi bro, nice video first of all. I was doubting of dropping the money in this watch, but after seeing your face and your happiness when you open that box you made me realize, life is one, and we work so damn hard that we deserve to get a treat time to time. So thanks to you I decided to go ahead and pick it up tomorrow 😁
Here's a technical - question for you. If you watch season 2 and 3 of M*A*S*H, Col Henry Blake wears a Rolex Day Date on a Presidential bracelet, with a grey watch face. He wears it rather proudly and flashes it to the camera often. Question - is this watch anachronistic for the Korean war (1945-1950)?
1940-1950 I think you’re on to something. The day date wasn’t unveiled until 1956. It’s close enough to where it isn’t egregious. Unlike the explorer worn by Don Draper in Mad Men, very much the wrong watch for the era
@@ChristopherNegroni not at all. Perfect watch for your style. You can quit buying watches now (except for the beater for the beach or hiking or whatever)
My grail of all grails. Your taste is almost the exact same as mine haha. I think 40k, or whatever this will cost second hand when I can afford it, is the most I'd ever need to spend on a watch. AP, Patek, etc. are all amazing watches but the value for money just isn't there to me. Above 50k, I'd rather buy another car or put a down payment on another home haha. Keep up the good work. I can't believe how you don't have 100k or more subs. Such high quality videos and the pieces you feature are great!
Congrats!🎉 A beautiful watch. A total beauty. Only one but, and a big one. It's very expensive and not very wearable on a daily basis, unless you are an actor, rapper, etc.
I’ll make a note of that. Watch Chris Drink season 2 will make its return soon. In the meanwhile I did feature the tank in my last episode of Whatch Chris Drink 🍺
Having a few watches that add up to the grail watch or just go straight for the grail. That's such a good question.
I think it depends on the watch. If it's something you can wear everyday, I say go for the grail. A steel Daytona for instance, can be worn in any situation. If it's something like a DayDate you're gonna want something to wear daily.

Oisin! Thanks for watching man. Yes, I’ve heard you mention it before. It’s truly a stunning watch. Since it’s release it’s been my favorite Rolex.
Got this and many more. Its an awesome watch. Same w the Panda.
Took me a year and 7 months to get it but it finally happened. It's a total stunner. Wear it in good health
Amazing. So happy for you. You definitely deserve it. Congratulations!!!!!!!
Idk about deserve 😅 but thank you my friend!
love this video brother. My grail watch was a GMT II.. bought a bat girl last week now i want rose gold olive day date like you've got! keep up the content, loved the intro apart from the coffee pour..
I’m surprised everyday by how dividing pouring coffee over my own watch grows 😆 thanks for watching!
Huge pick up, Negroni! Congratulations! Absolutely beautiful configuration on your Day-Date.
Thank you! I love it
Ooooohhh!!! Sweet!!!! Congrats!! Your cinematography really brings it alive! Love it!! Enjoy Brother!👊
That means the world man. Thank you for watching
YES DUDE! Nailed it!! Congratulations brother 🥳
Thank you Tom! 🤘🏼

Congrats Chris, Amazing watch

Thank you Hof! Appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Beautiful ! Sincere congratulations Christopher! An amazing timepiece and the best of the modern day-dates. Sip a cool Negroni with Miles in the background and savor your grail coming home! Salute🥃
Good deal 😌 that sounds lovely. Thank you!
Congrats man! I really hope they don’t discontinue this watch….its my grail watch too, and I hope it’s there one day when I can get it!
It could very well get discontinued. But Rolex is very unpredictable, who knows.
Man great watch. Congratulations and yes “less is more” 💯
Indeed, less is more 👌🏼 thank you
Ohhhh my God !
Negroni changed the reveal for 2️⃣ hours earlier 🎉
🕺🏻
Congrats and welcome to DD family.
Next level George ✊🏼
Imo the most beautiful Rolex ever produced 😍😍😍 wear it in good health 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you! I too share that sentiment.

So stoked! 😬 thank you!

No problem. Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉
Does the bracelet become „dirty“ or fogged up due to sweat between the links?…Heard about that but not sure…second question: is the missing easy link a problem? Thank you 🙌
I mean… you just have to clean your watches. Never had that problem. And no it’s not really an issue. Size it a bit loose it’s a Daydate.
@ have the 126715 and Never have to clean it, thats why i ask :) just heard that between oyster and president is a difference - but ok, thank you 🫶🏻
Didn’t expect this at all 😮congrats man she is stunning 😍 you lucky SoB 😂
Lmao I am very blessed. Thank you for watching.
congratulations on getting your grail you can tell by your reaction of how much it means to you 👍👍
Thank you Mark
Holy shit bro!!! Congrats!!! Brothers with Eddy now! the light play is insane, you captured it well!
I did my best 🤘🏼
Congratulations mr. Negroni. What a stunner. I am green with envy 😅
I like what you did there 😉 . Thank you!
Congrats Negroni! 🎉 I was sure it was gonna be a Daytona but it’s even better than that. Wear it in good health🫡
Only watch that could possibly top the Daytona on my wishlist. Thank you!

Daytona will come soon. I’m persistent and patient. I agree, Rolexes rose gold is really a gold that is unique in many lights. I fell in love.
Hell yea Chris! Congratulations 🍾🎉 Great video as always.
Appreciate it 🤘🏼
Great choice-I just found one - it was a choice between 228238 yellow gold green but this is class - good on you mate -
❤Huge congrats on finally achieving your grail watch, she’s a beauty❤.
Thanks 🙏🏻

Congratulations I’ve had opportunity to try it on twice and it is clean as hell. I owned the 40mm yellow gold black motif dial. Had to sadly sell it. But was great watch but your is very special. Just pure class
I love it! That’s great that you got to experience it for a while. I hope whatever watch you’re after now comes back around to you.
Congrats bro. That’s an undeniably gorgeous watch. 🤙🏼
Sorry it’s another Rolex Speedy 🙃 thanks for watching!
@@ChristopherNegroni 😂 Don’t apologize. That watch is worth talking about. I would wear the hell out of it.
Kevin O’Leary “only one in the world” vibes, except it actually feels special and genuine. Baller watch! i know that rose gold looks spectacular !
Lol 💀 not Mr Wonderful! 😂
Absolute stunning watch right there. Congrats. Love your content and videos. Would you do 1 video of your sneaker collection choices.
I don’t want to risk losing subscriber interest man 🙃
Congratulations on your grail watch. Less is more for sure. I have the same watch with the sun dust dial, love it. The bracelet is by far, the very best from the crown, Rolex. Great health to you and enjoy.
Sundust is a great dial as well. How has the RG aged? I’m terrified of scratches but I know it’ll happen
Gorgeous watch, stunning, classic beauty 👍
Thank you 😄

great looking watch. awesome description also. congrats, i have the 2 tone datejust, but the daydate is something i have my eye on
Beautiful watch. Good move congratulations . I was offered a day date platinum Ice blue dial and I passed. Still keeps awake at night!
Oooof DD ice blue. I’m sure it’ll come back around to you my friend.
Congrats bro. Beautiful watch. My grail watch is a Smurf. Which is of course discontinued now - so I’ll have to smash some grey price for it.
Those are still reasonable on the grey market. Hope you get it soon. I know you and me are fans of the 40mm super case 👌🏼

It’s all personal preference. I don’t mind mixing metals. I think it still looks great
That should add nicely to your spend history. What figure did you AD say you need to hit to be considered for a steel Daytona?
I don’t think it’s a hard number. But I’ve long had the spending history for a steel daytona, even before this.

🎉 Such an amazing piece ❤ so happy for you brother. I have to say it’s not 10x better than a Daytona but at least 5x 😂
I may have exaggerated. But I forgot about the 🐼 when I saw this 😅 . Thank you brotha!
Can you do a video making an old fashioned, pairing it with a classy watch like your Tank Louis
