Just a quick correction: Omega’s “x meters” ratings are a rare case where the WR ratings in depth/length units don’t border on false advertising. Its ratings actually mean that its watches are WR to those depths.
Thanks for the entertaining video! I think “secondary market” is a better term for what is meant here. Grey market is typically used to refer to new, but not through an authorized dealer network.
The Datejust has such a variety of how it can be configured. Different color faces. Really dressy with a fluted bezel & Jubilee, or more utilitarian with a plain bezel & Oyster. Then it can be jazzed up even more with two-tone, solid gold, & even diamonds. Mine would be a 36mm, black-face, plain bezel, with an Oyster bracelet.
Casio waveceptor watch worn by better call Saul, Saul Goodman and Liam Neeson. Atomic accuracy, chrono perpetual calendar up to year 2100. It’s the only watch any one really needs.
A small note. The Girard Perregaux "Mimo" was introduced three years BEFORE the DateJust showing the date in a window. Rolex are careful with how they describe the DateJust "the first automatic watch with a date window". The Mimo was manually wound. Nevertheless, most people will say that Rolex were first to introduce a watch with a date window.
I don’t even like the Datejust, but it earned its respect. Your favorite teacher had one. Your baseball coach had one. That uncle who came over for dinner had one. It’s probably the most common luxury watch you’ll see, but there’s a reason for it.
Im not sure its the most common luxury watch I have seen in recent times.......... and I worked in a luxury watch shop! Think my Italian dentist is the only person I remember wearing one!
Thr Datejust might be the most popular overall (due to overall affordability and all round useabilty) but you can buy one in an AD at retail right now, so it's certainly not the most desired, that title goes to the GMT or the Daytona which still IMHO has further to fall in seconary prices.
Missing a zenith off the list IMHO but more a connoisseurs brand. I think the Tag Monaco could have made the list too, maybe just outside the top 10. Great video nonetheless Jenni.
There is a Rolex for every watch enthusiast (if you can buy one), most will love Daytona and Submariner but the staples are Datejust, Oyster Perpetual, Daydate and Explorer!
Datejust was my first decent watch, but it's a bit dated now IMO. Explorer, Submariner (not date) and GMT would be my top Rolex's and top 3 watches, with the Omega Planet Ocean (you know, the best Omega that nobody mentions 😂) joint third ; )
@@spittinvenom9843 Yes I agree. It was always a bit small for me, but now I think it's as good as it is going to get and the ultimate classic. Hoping for a call this year 🤞
My citizen Tsuyosa is running at +3 seconds… better than some of my Swiss movements. My seiko sarbo17 is running negative 15; mechanical watches are weird
Recognizable? If you are talking about the Diver 300, it's bracelet and helium escape cap stands out a lot more than a Speedy although I like the Speedy a bit more.
I am new to watches and am amazed that at the culture behind it…I never knew it existed. I have to say when I just viewed this list and honestly I don’t find one watch on the list appealing at all.
I see a lot of Rolex haters in thr comment section... Have you EVER thought that Rolex is the omly watch that provides an ICONIC look, great performance and flexibility that NO other watch has? Show me the watch that you can seriously dive in, has a great in house movement and looks good NO MATTER what you wear or tue occaision..show the watch that looks as good whether you go from swimming trunks, to jeans, to a blazer to a full out suit. Its the most copied watch in the world for reason... VC, AP, Patek, ALS, JLC dont make a watch that can do all the things a Rolex Sub can do. They have better movements yes bit theu dont have the complete package like a sub. Im about to buy a VC Traditionale but nithing is BETTER than my Rolex steel and gold Sub. FBA/B1
I am too old to have had a F91W, when I was a nipper, but my GF bought three in various colours. I borrowed her orange one as a gym / Spa watch. And I have lent that watch to my young friend whose super trendy, and is in a band. He's currently wearing it, while he's touring the US. I am lending him watches, as he's new to the hobby, and trying to help him buying that wrong first watch, which you later regret. It's a great watch, and I wouldn't have known that without being lent one.
I tend to avoid the "most popular" watches. I wear nice watches for me not to show off to others. I do have swiss watches but many are German and the average person on the street doesn't even know the brand never mind they are luxury watches . Thats not hard as most people only know Rolex Omega Breitling which is why you see so many on peoples wrists it's so sad there are literally 1,000s of amazing watches and you see the same few models time and time again .
The rolex sub is indestructible, even if you buy it new today for 8 or 9 k you can wear it every day till the day you die,then can be past on to your family so a good investment I think.
Your teacher had one. Your dentist had one. Your uncle had one. Your grandfather had one. I don’t even like the Datejust, but it’s greatness where greatness is deserved.
The Datejust is the perfect watch for a girl. I've bought one for an ex-GF. I live in Geneva, and I've seen some amazing watches on friends and acquaintances. Lots of Rolexes, predictably. Only ONCE have I seen a Tudor on someone. And I've NEVER seen a Datejust on anyone with a penis. Lots of Sub's, lots of Daytona's, lots of GMT's, some Explorer II's, some Day-Dates.
I think submariner is a watch that appeals to beginners who first join the hobby. Somehow it has that appeal , including me when I started. Fast forward, I would never want to own a modern sub , too chunky, flashy and every Tom dick and harry wears it (be it fake or genuine) . But it serves a purpose and I respect it
@@Akj6zmdteuxze funny, I have it the opposite way where I purchased my Rolex submariner as one of the final pieces of my collection because I grew up, not a beginners watch, but more of an enthusiast who knows
My current favorite watch is my Traska Venturer GMT. I have a Grand Seiko, many Seikos, Tudor Black Bay, and had a Rolex Explorer that I sold a while back as I didn't wear it as much as my Tudor because I didn't want to mess it up. So when I sold it, it was in great condition
Great list (and thanks for a video on a rainy Saturday in SoCal) - except for 3 and 1. The 300 has a lot of competition in the crowded diver space, not sure who outside of Omega diehards would choose it if money and availability were not issues. And maybe I’m just too cynical but the Datejust, OP, Explorer I are just ‘Rolexes for those who can’t get a Sub, GMT, or Daytona at an AD’ consolation prize.
@@fontyyy As opposed to what, a Tudor Black Bay? Maybe you just run in a different circle. Cartiers are 100 year old perennial classics, worn by tons of elites and celebrities. The Tudor is not even 10 years old. The Royal Oaks and Nautiluses are a hype watch: 10, 15 years ago dealers had trouble moving those
@@MegaThucydides well, one of my best friends had got a Black Bay...that he bought from me, he just bought a no date Sub from me (which I found myself never wearing over my Starbucks) and was discussing if I'd buy the Tudor back. I do miss it's slightly down dressed feeling. It's an old smiley face one with a red bezel.. annoying no on the fly adjustment, but thankfully no faux rivets and it is a full set. I might try it on that nice black and red NATO. The leather strap doesn't fit me, now that is poor Tudor. I've got a Royal Oak too...sorry. I'd like a 5711 but I feel they'll drop some more yet, I sold my old one a while back for a stupid amount.
@@dmoneydmoney6050 Because pants are basic clothing and watches (especially the ones Jenni talks about) are accessories. You should be able to see the difference.
Dang, I got my SS Daytonas (zenith movement) and Nautilus (3800) when they were both under $10K many years ago. Lol. Both overrated really. I think the Aquanaut actually looks better than the Nautilus as it doesn’t have those ugly ears. Also had a Submariner and found it boring. Blancpain 50 Fathoms nicer.
Any watch you can only get after buying 2 necklasses, a vase and the certified watchshop owners used AUDI is absolute shit in my opinion and shouldn't be anywhere near this list. And Rolex is the biggest pile of shit out of all of them, I'd rather have a Hublot.
Looking for input on if the U.S. had something against Rolex or was the quality just not there? NASA rejected the Daytona and the Navy rejected the Submariner as not meeting quality standards. Justified or grudge?
Just a quick correction: Omega’s “x meters” ratings are a rare case where the WR ratings in depth/length units don’t border on false advertising. Its ratings actually mean that its watches are WR to those depths.

Thank you for all hard work you do , so we can be more educated about watches .!
Thanks Jenni, that video was literally brilliant on every level . . . a great watch (excuse the pun!).
🙂💖💯
Love my Datejust 41 slate dial!! I knew it would be #1. Love the content!
I am looking at getting same watch - could you please share your wrist size? Thank you
Cartier Santos would have been interesting to see due to its remarkable history being the first wrist watch ever created.
Wow. I was not expecting the Datejust to be the most popular watch! Great video Jenni!

Oh didn’t know that 😮!! Sneaky of Rolex 😀
I don't own a Datejust or Rolex Sub but both are iconic as you correctly state.
Great list of nice watches.
Rolex Sub, black stallion is mesmerizing, grail watch
G shock 10-10-10 was new to me 😊 thanks for sharing your knowledge
I watched your awesome video wearing my Squale 60 Atmos!🎉
Sweet. I'm wearing my Sub-39.
Love Squale!!
I don’t even like the Datejust, but it earned its respect.

How many were real? It's also the most commonly copied. From Seiko all the way up to actual clones/knock-offs.
The fluted Datejust is a beautiful watch.
Gshok são os meus favoritos, pra ir trabalhar !❤
Watch Models and Brands 101, amazing for new enthusiasts (like myself!). Super cool!
The pre-mercedes sub is so cool!
Beautiful Jennie and nice video ❤❤❤
I LOVE my GWM5610U. The resin strap doesn't bug me, and it's my daily driver. My poor mechanical watches usually just gather dust in the watch box.
Very impressive sharing Jennie! 😍
Oh wow, I am basic. I love the date just but my favorite OP is the no day/date no bezel. Dumb, I know. Just love how clean it is...
Crazy no GMT Master 2 in the top 10.
But its nice that you have a wide variety of watch companies in this list with their most beloved models
I agree - that should have been in the list for sure
Best video ever, well played❤
What a great video! I will share this as a good summary for people when they ask me about watches
Datejust is the objective goat imo.
Class and borderline sporty.
Unisex wearability.
Never comes off as snobbish.
Got a sub, want a Datejust, question is which one..... there's so many choices lol.
I just ordered Speedmaster watch from Exquisite Timepieces! I'm so excited to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenni is packing, love it ❤
can't really argue with this list.
Casio G-Shock ❤
Thr Datejust might be the most popular overall (due to overall affordability and all round useabilty) but you can buy one in an AD at retail right now, so it's certainly not the most desired, that title goes to the GMT or the Daytona which still IMHO has further to fall in seconary prices.
No GMT Master II Pepsi? Interesting.
Super video!
I'm actually wearing one of the watches you mentioned! 😺
no cartier? 😢

Hello, fully agree about Zenith, about Heuer and about Jenni's video.

The simplicity of the sub Black no-date is perfection.
@@spittinvenom9843 Yes I agree.
It was always a bit small for me, but now I think it's as good as it is going to get and the ultimate classic.
Hoping for a call this year 🤞
Love, love, love my Speedy!
Yes to all of them!
Mildly surprised there is no cartier tank
Love your channel, Jenni. Only wish you'd slow down your delivery just a wee bit so I can catch everything you're saying.
The 36 mm is perfect!
Jenni, please tell us what is the best ''grey market'' place to buy a watch.
Where is the reverso ? 😢
I guess Iam lucky to have all the three most favourite on the list 🤗
Incredible the datejust is number 1… 😮
My citizen Tsuyosa is running at +3 seconds… better than some of my Swiss movements. My seiko sarbo17 is running negative 15; mechanical watches are weird
I bought a DJ and an Explorer and those are the only two watches I wear now. Should I sell my Submariner?
For me, Omega Speedmaster is more tecognizable than Seamaster
Recognizable? If you are talking about the Diver 300, it's bracelet and helium escape cap stands out a lot more than a Speedy although I like the Speedy a bit more.
I thought the Rolex GMT?
Well you’ve done your homework, so I’ll have to accept you’re correct, but how Cartier isn’t there is beyond me.
Seiko 5, yes!! Date Just, yes! 😊
No gmt master 2 😮

FBA/B1
Dropping truth 💣
Jenni's accent rocks. And her voice is so soothing.
Dunno about that Rolex obsession though... 😜
Casio F91W if we’re talking iconic and dare I say the Apple Watch if we’re talking commercial success
I am too old to have had a F91W, when I was a nipper, but my GF bought three in various colours. I borrowed her orange one as a gym / Spa watch. And I have lent that watch to my young friend whose super trendy, and is in a band. He's currently wearing it, while he's touring the US.

It's a great watch, and I wouldn't have known that without being lent one.
Oh...., I bought her a baby blue as a replacement, so I am not a bad person.
I’d put the Black Bay 58 above the Black Bay. Even with the new metas movement in the latest BB.
Jenny, could you please do more videos about Rolex?
I tend to avoid the "most popular" watches. I wear nice watches for me not to show off to others. I do have swiss watches but many are German and the average person on the street doesn't even know the brand never mind they are luxury watches .

@jenni DD 36 mm or is that a DJ 31 with the presidential bracelet?
I love the sub, but I'd take a GMT over it all day.
Exactly.
Disagree, the GMT is not in the same league
If I had to wear just one watch for the rest of my life it would be my Sub. Every other diver is an imitation or copy of this icon.
The rolex sub is indestructible, even if you buy it new today for 8 or 9 k you can wear it every day till the day you die,then can be past on to your family so a good investment I think.
My favorite watch is actually the one in the thumbnail where it says “not this one” 😂
She forgot the Casio F91W
I've seen one in the wild in the past 10 years, and I bought it.
When I saw the 'most googled' metric I was like, damn, it's going to be the Apple Watch isn't it.
I miss my Datejust with cobalt blue Wimbledon face, fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. 😢
36 mm datejust is everybody’s favorite watch. Saved you some time. Sure
Ironic, my least favorite model.
Oh no! Not one of my favourites! 😬
Your teacher had one. Your dentist had one. Your uncle had one. Your grandfather had one.
I don’t even like the Datejust, but it’s greatness where greatness is deserved.
No.
Surrely not one of my favorites!
No GMT master II? Weird…
116610ln and 116610lv are the 2 best watches eever made
Love the 11 series sub!
One thing I learned about watches. You leave them behind when you pass away. ;)
Wow! No Navitimer or GMT Master?
Ach, Ich kann nicht glauben, dass es keine deutschen Marken auf diese Liste geschafft hat! Die deutsche Uhrenindustrie steckt in der Krise!
