Did you not know that? On that subject, a Smith Everest is currently viewed in much higher esteem and is harder to get and of course you could always top it with a vulcain as worn by the Italians when they conquered K2. I’ve never quite understood the mystique of “this watch has been up Everest”
@@Robert-vw3od Is a new Smith’s Everest from Timefactors harder to get than a new Explorer? I’d thought it was a bit tricky to get one when they open the online shop every few months but hadn’t realised it was harder than the Rolex
Just shifted this video from my cell phone to TV and realized it has 5.1 surround sound. STRONG recommendation to watch this with surround. The background music coming out of the satellites and the main voice over from the center is a total premium touch.
This guy’s sense of humor & wit is top notch! There’s a lot of watches I’d prefer over a Rolex, but I still feel it’s a staple of anyone’s collection. (Not that I can afford it lol)
Loving your narration and great repartee. You are a natural at this and have a great command of the English language. I always look out for your videos. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Your “Sky Dweller” bit had me giggling so I played it for my wife when she asked what was so funny. Turns out some people have no appreciation for flatulence humor. Fortunately, my 12 & 14 year-old boys heard it too & found it hilarious.
The list of Daytonas and Yachtmasters that can be found under retail is a lot longer than the one’s mentioned. Black 226570 is also under retail. All in all, it would have been easier to make a list of Rolex models that still can be traded or flipped for a profit, as these are fewer than the one’s which yield a profit.
It seems that here in Canada they have not heard that Rolex watches are available. At least my inquiries were met with we don’t have stock and we don’t have waitlist and oh, by the way are you interested in a gold date just… I bought an Omega.
Ok Andrew, I have several beautiful Rolex watches. I happen to love the the look of the The YachtMaster II! That Ceramic blue bezel is an amazing piece of art. I will never use the timer, and will never race a yacht ( I may own one some day). I have never even used the timer for anything, as my iPhone has a nicer timer. The watch is too big for me at 44mm. However, I still really love this watch and wear it often. I have been wearing my white dial Sky Dweller lately, but I still have a special place in my heart for the YMII.
I am loving the grey market drop. Dealers are now selling watches to ordinary buyers as grey market dealers have exited the market. I just bought a 36mm blue dial Datejust with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet, at my local A.D., for my wifes anniversary present...
supply and demand, theres no demand for something 2nd hand used or put in a safe as an investment. your industry has been fleecing customers for far too long and its payback time. suck it up circa 1m+ bolexes made a year and people think its some kind of rare element
Acorn hitting a car roof. That was completely unexpected in this particular TH-cam setting, making it probably one of the funniest things I’ve heard you say. 😂
Andrew is on fire today! Great video! I am a big fan of the YM lineup, so let us hope the sale prices persist while the watch purchase bank account refills. It was a big start to 2024 as I rounded out the Panerai collection, so we have a bit of wait. As part of the PAM buying spree, I picked up two precious metal, a white gold and a red gold. They were just too good a price to pass up, coming in not a great lot higher than the SS versions. I must admit, I never saw the value in the more expensive metal, but I am gradually becoming a convert. Being able to nab some PM, or part PM, Rolex at favorable pricing seems like a solid plan.
I avoided watching this because I thought it was another cookie cutter “these bi-Metal and white gold Rolex watches are cheap now”, but I’m glad I finally ran out of other videos and clicked on this…. Andrew never disappoints! Fine work as usual.
Went to my Rolex ad 2 weeks ago and he told me the polar explorer 2 was as hard to get as a panda Daytona... I'm pretty much done trying to get a Rolex
Quite the "Rolex futures" piece here, Andrew. For me, the first Yacht Master was most-intriguing, but at that (slightly-reduced) price, the farthest I'll go with anything vaguely referring to yachting is a copy of The Police's *Regatta de Blanc* .
In Japan!, more people eat lamb than like to wear watches!, and the Japanese HATE to eat lamb!…. Rolex can’t sale there watches there at any price!. (They always have Discounts on New & used watches 24/7!.)
Great video! After being on a waitlist for years for a sub or Batman, I'm actively trying to purchase an SD43 on Chrono. I keep seeing videos like yours that these can be procured below retail. But I am seeing over retail for all model years except for surprisingly the Mark 1 2017 versions. All the used watches I'm seeing are also polished which I believe would impact the value of the watch if I trade it in in the future. I try to negotiate but having no luck to get below retail. Any advice?
I can't swim, much less afford to own or race a yacht in 4 lifetimes, but I'm strangely attracted (and have always been since I first saw it 20 years ago) to the Yacht Master II. If I had one "last" watch to get, it would be a Yacht Master II in Blue, White, Gold.
Ive been after a JC deepsea for a while but ADs are still fleecing you on pre owned in that special way that only an AD can (3k over rrp)... put my name down for a new one so they can pretend theres a huge waitlist for a while... 😂
I have zero inclination to pay over the odds just to have a five-pointed crown on a watch when other brands do the same for much less of my hard-earned.
Don't know if it was the intention, but I laughed out loud all the way through this video. Hugely entertaining now you have broken free of the decency shackles of Watchfinder.🤭
Btw Gangnam is an affluent area in Seoul. It's where a lot of rich people live and has lots of pricey nightclubs and fashionable trendy people so hence Gangnam style.
A local AD recently said that would be able to get me and Air King 126900 … at normal, everyday, one of the better people .. coveted ‘list’ price. I was like 😳. So … I await ‘the call’. But I think they might actually do it this time. How times have changed. Used to be they just pointed at you and laughed.
Turns out Edmund Hillary isn’t British, he’s from New Zealand… whoops! I was thinking of John Hunt, the expedition leader.

Tenzing was from Folkestone though, honest.

Absolute masterclass of a video about Rolex watches. "Sky dweller might sound like a euphemism for an air biscuit." That one got me 😅
Every time I race my yacht I COUNT on my Rolex to get me to the start line on time! Thank you ROLEX!!!!!!!!
I just had rolex build my yacht and the thing gets itself to the start line
When ordered, what arrived quicker, Rolex or Yacht?
@@dinoegli the bill
Chuck Norris gets to the starting line w/o a Rolex and w/o a yacht.
My yacht wears a rolex
"Acorn hitting a car roof" 😂 Cue bewildered trigger happy cop....
"harder to spot from a passing moped" ooof, the sting of reality for watch owners these days.
Watchfinder will be nothing without you sir. Great video!
That 996 911 joke had me dying as both a car and watch enthusiast
Andrew's description of the colors on the GMT is a bit unhinged. I love it

Absolutely hilarious!
I love the unhinged Andrew commentary no longer being bound byWatchfinder
I lost every yacht race until I bought the yachtmaster. Then I was a master of yachts.
God bless your sense of humor Andrew. You're a gem to watch community!
Never Change Brother!!
You’re simply the best at this , period
Thanks 😁
The Hillary remark was spot on👍 The LA Times remark is also spot on😎
"Becaue it's expensive as sh*t" 🤣
Outstanding script Andrew. Some genuine lol moments in this one! Great information too 👏👏👏
I actually think that the Yacht-Master 2 is Rolex's most beautiful watch.
As they say - there is someone for everyone. lol. you are a rare one, so go buy it and ignore the haters.
The list of Daytonas and Yachtmasters that can be found under retail is a lot longer than the one’s mentioned. Black 226570 is also under retail.

Glad to see and hear the real you on here! Truly enjoyed the non filter descriptions too. 👍🏽
Always the best watch content on the internet. Thank you Andrew

The steel seadweller red writing is the sweet spot of the divers range, the fact you can get them cheap is a bonus
What a calming,
Relaxing voice, makes me wanna go buy another Rolex, just because Andrew said so.. i love it!
Sir Edmund Hillary was a New Zealander but part of the British Expedition that conquered Everest in 1953.
Came here to hear about pricing and actually came away learning more history on Rolex models than anywhere. Impressive...
I am loving the grey market drop. Dealers are now selling watches to ordinary buyers as grey market dealers have exited the market. I just bought a 36mm blue dial Datejust with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet, at my local A.D., for my wifes anniversary present...

That was the most entertaining review of these models. Thanks for the laughs.

Ah yes, this is why I love the Zenith yoshida WG with ceramic :) - also trading at same price as steel. More beautiful

Hey Andrew. I'm a big fan of your videos. I hope that now that you are full-time in your own business you publish more than 1 video per week.
Great and very informative video Andrew. Thank you!
Nice to hear you in another channel. 🙂
Sir Edmund Hillary was a New Zealander.
Whoops 😅
I've not heard a Richard Gere/Rodent reference in 20+ years.
Bravo! I did laugh.
Awesome vid Andrew, see you at Lodge!
🤐
Thank you Andrew.

I would like to jump on these great prices but hate to take advantage of Rolex like this...
The explorer that wasn't the first to go on the Everest, the cosmograph that wasn't the first go to the moon, the diver watch....so much heritage😂
I just love the color you provide. Congrats and continued success on your newest endeavor
Someone clearly had a lot of fun writing the script for that one 😂 Chapeau!
In Japan!, more people eat lamb than like to wear watches!, and the Japanese HATE to eat lamb!…. Rolex can’t sale there watches there at any price!. (They always have Discounts on New & used watches 24/7!.)
For the exact reasons described, I plan to buy a 126509, pure understatement. I thought the British had cornered the market on that ;-)
Holy smokes! Can you say that about Hilary?!? Good on ya!!
supporting Andrew’s independence by watching youtube ads!
Once again, now seeing them for sale in boutiques. I wonder why?
Fantastic episode ❤

seriously considering adding a Rolex now
I have zero inclination to pay over the odds just to have a five-pointed crown on a watch when other brands do the same for much less of my hard-earned.
Is it okay that im watching andrew videos for comedy-and jokes first and then watches??!!
😂
The whole market is under list. Exept a few hyped models
Under retail for watches that are bloody expensive anyway.
Another enjoyable jaunt ! thanks Andrew!
I love your humour. Keep up the good work 👍
Your Logo is cool.Best of luck going forward.Keep up the good work and thanks 😀
“Ridiculous pirate measurements like fathoms” 🤣 damn I love this channel hahahah
Bounty's are yummy! How can anyone not like a Bounty!
Brilliant comments as ever
"The man was a player. Hate the game!" LOL
lmao love the subtle jokes
You really are funny.
Thanks for the info and chuckles.
The passing moped joke 🤣
James Corden comment - spot on, and not fer nutten...these rolex prices are stupidly inflated
It's always the same, it mostly applies to the stuff that's already very expensive, with the exception of the 36 mm Explorer.
M-O-O-N that spells bargain Rolex
great video, as always!
The 1908 doesn't have a screw down crown? I think the cellini may be better for having one
Both hilarious and insightful!
Just like everything in life, there is diminishing returns in watches too
Don't know if it was the intention, but I laughed out loud all the way through this video. Hugely entertaining now you have broken free of the decency shackles of Watchfinder.🤭

I learn tons from your videos so any small chance to give back 🤣@@AndrewMorganWatches
I'm a bit surprised. Hasn't the explorer been touted as just about the best in rolex's line up as best value? Now it's under RRP? Crazy
The Yak Master II
informative and entertaining
Thumbs up for the James Corden dig.

Watch 😉
Forget Rolex, the Vacheron Constantin 222 is now available in China for £75 quid 😂
Tx Andrew 🎉
Your basically the michael jordan of the analogy game
Oh, they're 200 pounds off of 30K? I'm going to stock up on THREE!! 😂
3:17 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If they add 3 more minutes to the Yachtmaster people could use it to boil eggs so it would be actualy usefull.
FOMO is gone. I expect Rolex prices to continue a downwards drift, albeit slowly, for the rest of this year at least.
