    You actually brought me back to Theo and Harris videos. I really enjoy your solo content and I think a lot of people do too. You have very good energy, and the vibe that you create is much more my style. Really enjoyed the last few videos. Thank you. 🎉

      I like their chemistry together, but Michael has a great self-deprecating charm that is really relatable and I laughed out-loud at this video, probably more than any other recent ones. Nicely done, Michael.

      I do agree, please do not get me wrong but when the other guy will have came back I am doubting if I will continue watching the channel, the other guy is not so authentic like Kris, is like he is pretending something that he is not really and this affect the videos, unfortunately we do not have so many solo from Kris, he should have his own channel

    I’ve really enjoyed the “Harris Unleashed” solo series but equally look forward to the supergroup reforming…
    I think the celebration and puzzle dials, is Rolex’s equivalent of the MoonSwatch. Polarizing but marketing genius, and the coverage helps them reach new and younger audiences.
    Inter-generational watch collecting. My view is
    1/different watches exhibit different facets of your style and personality and this speaks to the fun and playful side. It’s not that it’s the only watch.
    2/some of the less popular Rolex models turned out to be the most sought after after they got discontinued (eg The Daytona Beach)

    This is too sappy for this conversation, but your legacy to your children is your relationship with them and how you care for and about them. If they know you love them and you give them a wonky green watch or gumball watch or old ratty tie it won't matter what it is, it will matter that it represents you to them.

  • @jeffdj1975
    @jeffdj1975 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Hahahaha I’m so honoured that you read my comment on the video!!!! Yes it’s true, I do find the watch EW, but I’m very happy to hear that you genuinely like it! Most folks get certain watches cause it’s a Rolex, you want the watch cause you’re genuine, different, unique and most of all confident. RESPECT Michael!

    If you don't have conviction about your future watch, why even buy now? Read more books, watch more videos, go to more meetups. Mull over your tastes and preferences and become a subject matter expert. Then and only then will your future watch reveal itself.

    • @jasonmedcalf2707
      @jasonmedcalf2707 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you're right. It's playful. If it was a Seiko nobody would question it. People are too conservative with spending that level of money. It's like buying a Jeff Koons work.

  • @Horizontalvertigo

    Can't believe Mikey almost got peer pressured out of his goofy Rolex, and peer pressured by his non-existent grandkids of all people.
    Man, my kids are gunna inherit watches with tigers on the dial and dive watches that are meant to look like tuna sushi, and they're gunna be happy about it or else.

  • @grsnsnclr
    @grsnsnclr ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think if you went with the safe choice, the black dial, you'd never stop thinking about the celebration. Listen to your heart and tell your future grandkids to deal with it.

  • @m.e.p.r
    @m.e.p.r ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The celebration dial is cool. I like it a lot. Would I buy it, no. Would I wear it, yes. Would I sell it, yes. Would I choose it over a black dial DateJust, yes.

  • @christinetd6024
    @christinetd6024 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Congrats for your choice! Life is too short, and there are plenty of reasons to be sad. I'd rather have a dad that knew how to be silly about silly things (like obsolete mechanical devices to tell time), and shared with me a authentic joy. Both celebration and jigsaw watches, for me, feel beautiful. The colors are rich, the cases are all time classics, and the heft of rolex quality is coming through, even in the photos.

  • @mendipfox1650
    @mendipfox1650 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the celebration dial is fun. I wouldn’t wear it, but my wife loves it and she’s on the list for the 31mm version. I think the dial really suits the smaller sizes. Not so sure about the 41mm. A little OTT in my opinion.

  • @kinnierlastimosa2737
    @kinnierlastimosa2737 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks for sharing the kind of funny story, which is totally real. I think the generational thought is a good one, especially for someone who might get “just” one Rolex or one luxury watch. As a middle-aged man whose father loved watches and fortunately had means to buy some, I must note my brother and I each have a different favorite watch of his four luxury watches and they are his two least expensive by a significant margin and the two we don’t prefer are ones others certainly would. That’s all to say that I’m glad that he bought what he loved and enjoyed - there’s a lot of difficulty guessing what others, including those who share half one’s genes, will like or love.

    What would be more difficult to get...The OP 36 Tiffany or the OP 36 celebration dial?

  • @grafkirk
    @grafkirk ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Different watches will serve different folks. For instance, I’m currently a medical student. If I were to specialize in cardio thoracic surgery I would prefer a traditional Daydate - serious, clean, and precise. But if I were an outpatient pediatrician I could see myself wearing the Celebration into work. It’s also a watch from a reputable brand, but it is also more fun and could make a visit to the doctor a little more of an approachable event for a child. Great video, Michael!

    Enjoyed you on the RBR chat. Thanks for joining. Get the watch YOU want. You're 20+ years away from giving anything to kids and will have a collection to choose from. Maybe that's the watch they'll remember you by because it's the most fun. Then you'll know you made the right decision.

      @juanfelipemv ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@timeisahumanconstruct9251 They are boring, the saturation is not that great, and they are all at the same level of it. Also why only 4 colors ?, some of the balloons are the same color as the background. It is terrible. If you are gonna do something like this, IMO, you have to throw the kitchen sink at it.

  • @Maarten_official_account
    @Maarten_official_account ปีที่แล้ว +1

    People getting these “fun” Rolex watches, especially at list at the AD, are high rollers who don’t care if this dial ages well and what these watches will beworth in a few decades. They buy it because money is no issue and they just want a fun dial for now. The Middle Eastern, Russian and Asian market will go crazy for these watches. I think it’s a brilliant move by Rolex.

  • @samuelchow3425

    After first hearing his transition on the Celebration dial and then on the Kermit, we discovered that Michael is that guy who lets other people tell him who he is.
    EDIT: Commenting in real time here - glad to hear he ended up with the Celebration dial. Be who you are! You can't predict what your children will want, so don't try. Besides, who is to say you won't have a daughter?

    Michael, get the watch you want. It's your life too. I personally like the puzzle even more than the dippin dotz (bubbles) one. It's like this; go balls deep or don't go in at all 😎 hahaha but seriously, your kids would think even more about you when they see you with that watch because it's so different than something you might typically see.

  • @beyoncehadoneofthebest

  • @jaredvandermerwe6805
    @jaredvandermerwe6805 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you went through this back and forth about buying the watch, I wonder how many times at Rolex headquarters the people were like, “Are we really going to release this dial or should we just change something on our date just line?”
    Also made me think about cars - sometimes we want something flashy but we end up buying the colour for the next owner in order to protect the resell value and so we pick a white, black, silver or something grey?!

    I think they are awesome honestly. The watch space overall, which I think leans too much into tradition and conservative tastes, needs to shake things up more. Of course these things aren't for everyone, but what watch is for everyone? I suppose some would say certain models of Rolex haha . . . but I think that's also why it made sense for Rolex to do this (esp having gotten rid of one of their most unique/quirky models, the Milgauss).

  • @David-nx2vm

    @brunonjezic6208 ปีที่แล้ว

    Im shure selebration dial is something that will be cut off i a year so it will be practicly limited edition. I dont see why you are worried. You have dayjust that you ware all the time for years that is actually your watch plus you have tone of other incredible time pices. If you dont sell them and service them your kids would have tone of stuff to chose off. That is kind of green light to make like 20 of them. So you have each kid for one watch

    Wow. From old flames in monster trucks to inter-generational trauma. I don't know about the celebration dial, but this video is most certainly a future classic. I plan on getting a Rolex when I eventually retire, but it's going to be blue Datejust. When I'm looking for fun and quirky I Iean towards micro-brands (and I love them!), not Rolex. With the big boys, I want the classics, but that's just me. Some would find that predictable and boring, and I wouldn't argue with them. Regardless, I say live for today, and buy what you like.

I should go and ahead and put my name on one. Haven't done it because I don't feel there is a chance in heck I would ever get that call. But what the heck, I'll give it a shot. Thx Michael for helping me with that decision.

    Should always be about the watch you want. Your kids might not even care much about watches, and if they do, they'll surely cherish any that you pass down to them even if it's not really their "flavour" so to speak. Personally not a fan of the new Rolex "fun" dials. Though oddly I do like the Oris Kermit.

    I don’t think any thought should be given into what watch you’ll pass down to your kids and if they’ll like it. If you raise them right they’ll appreciate anything you give them. If they don’t who cares, it’s your money. They can buy their own then.

    You should get the Ball Pit because it sings to you. Black DJs will be available in the foreseeable future should you desire one later.
    No more flip flopping when you get the call. Bite the bullet, thank your friend's AD, build that relationship, and enjoy the watch.
