Thanks for this post ! Do you confirm that the blue is different for the true Tiffany and the true Celebration ? On the Rolex website, the 2 colors look similary. Thanks !
I asked my AD for it the day it came out. James and Sons listed me for it and these are the same good people who sold me a Panda and other watches. I’m very hopeful especially because they haven’t called to say they can’t do it. So the hope is still there. This is the coolest Rolex I will ever have a shot at. There are a couple in Chrono for 30-35K. I can’t bring myself to speculate to that degree but I think one day hindsight will kick us in the butt for not buying them yesterday. I know of at least one regular Joe who has taken retail delivery of this watch. I’m hopeful but not really expecting it to happen for me because my AD may never see one and certainly they need to prioritize their best customers first. But it feels good to still have hope-like having a lottery ticket well before the drawing. Good video Bruce!
April 2024 here - this will be discontinued in 2 days time (April 9th). My AD told me these were pretty much impossible to get. In the year since it launched they got 5 celebration dials, 2 x 34mm, 2 x 36mm and 1 x 41mm.
Not discontinued , maybe next year with a 2 year run. I'm on the list for 41mm my AD says they're confident it'll arrive later in the year , fingers crossed.
A couple of thoughts: 1. From day 1, I thought this was pretty cool. I mean, we're talking about a brand so conservative that the internet goes insane when they change the case size of a watch by 0.5mm. Letting their playful side out is well received from me. 2. Rolex can do no wrong. They could put a poo emoji (or palm fronds) on a dial and it would sell gangbusters. They could force customers to sign a contract assigning their first born child to Rolex to replace their aging Oompa Loompa population and people would be lining up (well, and saving money, child care is expensive). We both know Rolex isn't for me, but I approve of this watch vehemently and nobody can change my mind about it. :)
This is the only Rolex I plan to buy. It's still available and I will pay MSRP. I don't collect Watches. All watches I own I wear and I never sold one. All watches are bonded with memories or achievements.
I already resigned to buy a Rolex due to scarcity and A.Ds disgusting behavior, and I don't really feel concerned anymore about such model because there is a 99% chance that I won't never see it worn, ever 🤷♂️
I was the exact same… thought it was garish when I first saw it but now want it. Would be a great collectors piece and conversation starter. I have the coral one. Generally speaking, I find the ones to be most interesting are the ones non collectors find the ugliest. My non collector friends think the Pepsi, Hulk and Coral OP are so ugly…. And those are by far my favourite.
Rolex flooding the market🤣🤣 never gonna happen.. they bought bucherer for the sole purpose to control the secondary market as well.. pure genius from them
I love it. Kissing my AD's butt trying to get a 41 for my retirement in December. Told my AD I'd like a 36 for my daughter as well when she graduates college in a couple years.
@@cookingwithwatches Nice! Keeping a home base in Texas but planning to pull an RV around the country. Kids are leaving the nest, not sure where they’ll be in the mid- or long-term.
This watch is terrible. It’s like a song you can’t stand on the radio then eventually you fall In love with it because you hear it over and over. It’s still a bad song.
@@BruceWilliamsof course without being hypocritical would I buy it if offered at retail? Probably! Why? I have no idea.. they have us by the balls man…
Pure pandering to investors no normal people will be able to get it , it will go up in value though due to scarcity. It doesnt match anything certainly not suit friendly , makes me wonder how many people actually like it and how many just see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Most of them will live in safes and never see light of day. The single colour ones are cool though and will be worn .
How to completely ruin one of the best Rolex out there, the OP, one of the most comfortable and versatile watches you could choose. I could understand to have one the colored dial options, but this one is a huge no for me 🤢
With you man. I'm looking back at older Omegas and older watches in general... the past 10-20 years.... I'm done with this horrible rubbish from rolex at crazy prices
What exactly do you mean? Rolex trolling their customers? They do that since many years with their "waiting list" bs so why shouldn't they do it with a watch? But on a serious not that is by far the ugliest watch I have ever seen. Even the cheap winky dinky Mao watches you can buy at Chinese fake markets are not as ugly as this one. Celebrating by making a fool out of your customers. Yeah, that seems like Rolex style.
Most Rolexes are just so so dull to be honest....I love your Daydate, but overall I'm very much over the brand. Have my Goldeneye quartz Seamaster 2541.80 on the way ... can't wait. That watch is stunning... P.s. I flipped my green op36.... what a boring little thing that was
@@BruceWilliamsthanks man I really appreciate that! Those old Seamasters from the Brosnan age (any of them including broad arrows) are just so slim, elegant and cool. They're the best
@@BruceWilliams very cool watch... I've considered that one or the 2254.50..... but I like the idea of having the classic old school bond, with a blue bezel..p.s. what I said about rolex was harsh. They make great watches, maybe I meant that FOR ME, I've reached rolex fatigue
I loved this since they announced it. And I think I would even get one off the grey market. I’m about to get a gold day-date as a “f*ck you* watch but if one of these pops up first, I may just get it first. Obviously it depends on price. I’m not going to pay OP Tiffany blue prices
This watch has been on my mind ever since it came out, planning on getting it
When you literally just don't know what to do with that quarterly bonus.......
Poor needn't apply
I tried this thing on and man it’s a whole different story in person I would absolutely buy one
Picking this up for my mom for Mother’s Day I kinda love it when I saw it in person
It’s a beautiful watch. Congrats!
Wish me luck, i will go to a AD today to put myself on the list
😂
You go girl! Keep us posted
After 1 year ... Any news from AD?
Great job Bruce! Definitely warming up to the model.
Absolute win if you got one at cost 😊
thanks!
I would of loved loved to have gotten the yellow one!!!!

I hope you get the call soon! It would sit perfectly in your Rolex rotation
This is the ‘edited’ version???
thanks for the info! I just bought one and will receive it in march!
Silver Dial OP41 for me,its a lovely watch ❤ the gold touches 😍
Picking one up this weekend! Woo!
I call it the Wonder Bread for obvious reasons.
what do you do for a living bruce ?
he's batman
3:43 is that a 36mm? Thanks

Wrong - no discontinued
Got it 2 days ago and love it! Got the 36mm and it's perfect.
Homage to Mr Jones Watch dials.

Looks like one of those toys I got as a kid. It was filled with liquid snd you shook it to make the colored bubbles bounce around. 😂
you don't even have the real watch in your video lol bhahahaah hahahaha
love it 🎉🎉 I will buy it

100 percent agree
Thanks JA what an experience ! It was a pleasure going on the ride - currently at Nice Airport at 5am, great way to start the day !
Very nice watch I love it
I expect most of these will sit in boxes within large collections and not see the light of day until they triple in price.
Most likely right
Nice video Bruce!
I love it lol. I like Rolexes quirkier models. Wearing a Milgauss GV
36mm?or41mm????can you just tell????
Certainly looks much better in person!

Id rather buy an invicta than spend my hard money on any of these, this is no different from that spider-man AP, big Joke!!!
its a gumball machine, I like it. Makes me want to race coast to coast.
It’s so ugly I want it
I love it its different other so plain boring
Celebration dial and puzzle watch will be one year release
This watch is terrible. It’s like a song you can’t stand on the radio then eventually you fall In love with it because you hear it over and over. It’s still a bad song.
Haha great Analogy
@@BruceWilliamsof course without being hypocritical would I buy it if offered at retail? Probably! Why? I have no idea.. they have us by the balls man…
Celebration dial = ‘Groove is in the Heart’? HOT TAKE!! Lol.
It’s hideous

It doesnt match anything certainly not suit friendly , makes me wonder how many people actually like it and how many just see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Most of them will live in safes and never see light of day. The single colour ones are cool though and will be worn .
It’s personally not my cup of tea
Don’t like the celebration dial. The prices on Chrono 24 is absolute joke. The Daytona Le Mans is extremely stupid for $250k🤦♂️
I expect the Le Man's to go higher when people realize how limited it is

For my eyes and wallet, your gold day/date is the only true Rolex.
It's a timeless classic!
I can’t thank Rolex enough👏for me it was definitely the last straw…I am done with Rolex.🤢🤮💩
With you man. I'm looking back at older Omegas and older watches in general... the past 10-20 years.... I'm done with this horrible rubbish from rolex at crazy prices
That's horrible!!
What is the point to buy a Rolex that looks like timex.
My god, Rolex must be laughing so loud. The bloody watch is a joke and an insult to watch enthusiasts.
Amen

Not a fan of this one.
Horrible looking watch. This prooves people will buy anything with Rolex on it nowadays

DD is way better in my opinion
Trollex
Bro, this is a total troll. I can't put into words how bad this is. The only way I see this worse is the puzzle Day-Date
This is the only Rolex that if someone gave it to me I’d give it back and say no thanks
It's fun i suppose but it's also a bit of an eyesore.
🤮
first
To each his own, this is a lesson I learned from our hobby.
Rolex never create a nice watch since 50 years.. sterile creativity....next
