- A Rolex I've never heard of?! I know. Huge faux pas for a Rolex Fan Girl. But also, it should be known... I am a dumb-dumb. Let's talk about the Space-Dweller.

RINGO HAS A SEXY NOSE.
Not just his nose. Not a lot of people know this, but Ringo was an elbow model before he became the drummer for Tthe Beatles. Super sexy elbows.
@@MrFenris75 the sex appeal DOES NOT END. BEEEEHAVE RINGOOOO
I think you'll find it is _had_ a sexy nose.
@@BAF605 😂😂😂 amazing. 🙌🏽
Haha, I can't get that out of my head since watching!
Rolex sure loves the Dweller title! Should’ve called the Explorer “Earth-Dweller” and they’d have all the bases covered!
Hahaha they were thinking too small!!!
I’m in line for the Mars-Dweller whatever it takes 😁
Agreed, I've a skydweller and a seadweller and feel the need to complete a set!
@@TheWhoreologist Same!
@@keysncoffee7733it'll be an omega tho!
I think I had actually heard of the Space-Dweller before, thanks to the Explorer rabbithole I fell down a little while ago, but it was really interesting to get more of the history and cultural context - thanks for another great video!
Haha oh MAN, the Explorer rabbit hole is a deep one!
The first time I've heard of the Space Dweller was Hodinkee's "Refrence Points" episode on Explorers. It's a great episode (and series) for the those of us nerds who like insdide baseball and such.
*edit* Your production value is excellent, BTW. It's cool to watch your channel evolve and grow.
Ahhhh THANK YOU!! I am trying really hard to up the production!
I knew I've seen it somewhere!
Yes that’s exactly where I heard about the space dweller. The moment Brit mentioned it I knew it was a Japanese marker exclusive!
That video on Hodinkee’s site about the Explorer was fascinating.
Excellent video! I actually had herd of the watch but had no background
Whaaaat! Thank you so much! 💕 I’m
So glad you enjoyed my weird little deep dive!
I am glad your feeling better, I enjoy all your video’s, next time, however, I will proof read my response, keep up the good work
5:00 there's an opportunity here to sell, a dozen, perhaps two dozen watches . . . 🧐
Thanks for teaching us something new Britt.
LOL! true
I envision one of these in a packed up box in the attic after grandads passing. Patiently waiting to be worn again.
Everyday is a learning day… I want one now!!!!
😂😂 right?! Me too!!
I learned something new today! Thank you Britt! Very cool little horological history lesson!
Right?! Me too! Forever a student of these crazy little timekeepers
Japan gets the best exclusives, there's a JP edition speedmaster with white numerals i have my eyes on
Ahhhh sooo GOOD! They really do have the best editions! My husband had the Tokyo 2020 LE Speedy, the white and black panda dial! It is such a special one!
There is one thing left : Forest Dweller
Bahaha YES!
Great video! I had read about it (Hodinkee) but never saw a video on it. Well done! Good find! 😁
But insane price on Chrono24 😮
Ahhh GUY! Someone else said they read about it in the Dinks too!
@@BrittPearceWatches Yes, but they don’t give it the attention it deserves. 😉
I heard about it from @watchsymposium. He's in Japan but I believe he's an expat. As a result, his videos are I'm english. Not sure what video specifically it was mentioned in though.
Yeah! Someone else said Austin Daniels too! But yeah, it must not be a dedicated video…? Because I can’t find it! 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve only found one dedicated one! 🙈 but I’d love to see the Watch Symposium one! Love him!
@@BrittPearceWatches Perhaps send him a message asking what video it is. He might ha e some additional footage or information.
Damn, I had to google Ringo Star’s nose after this video, Thanks Britt 👍😂
LOL! So did I!!! 😂😂😂
AND I gotta say, I don’t think it’s a sexy nose! 😜😂
I heard about it yesterday. The Time Teller talked about it in a video last week where he discussed the 5 rarest Rolexes.
WELL, completely missed that one haha
I saw one years ago and it instantly became my favorite Rolex as the explorer is my favorite this took it a step further, cooler I guess. The urban gentry made a good video about it a few years ago. It never really made sense but yet it’s a cool little piece of history.
Never heard of it. Launched the same year as the Daytona. A great year, my birth year😊.
Hahah HEY, you are absolutely right! How did I not piece that together?! They were all about space that year. Cosmograph AND Space Dweller....
So it's just a different word on the dial?! That's what all the hoopla is about?! Wow. I knew that Rolex was boring and unimaginative but this truly takes the cake.
Don’t you KNOW that’s what the Rolex world is all about?!??😅 same watch. Different word on the dial. 😜 I mean… once you get differentiating the Submariners, and caring about a Bart Simpson, that’s when you’re in the deep end 😂
@Britt Pearce a Bart Simpson?? How does that relate to rolex? Interesting pivot. And yeah I know that just a wrong letter can make a rolex fan go berserk. I think that is hilarious.
You always seem to bring interesting content that I never would have predicted. That makes your channel fun to watch. Thank you for the hard work you put into every video.
Also, I did not know this watch existed either.
WHAAAAT! This has absolutely made my DAY! You know, I felt a bit stuck in a content rut. But this video really got me out of it! Sometimes it feels like the ideas are running dry, or I just don’t have enough time. But this video was genuinely a joy to make!
So I predicted it would be a new ver this year, unfortunately it won’t be until next year now. So look forward to it.
Ahhh now that would be interesting!
I was tempted to check my calendar to make sure it wasn't April Fool's Day. Wild stuff. Thanks for another great video, and definitely the first I've ever seen about the Rolex Space Dweller.
Very interesting. Thanks Britt
Ahhh thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed! 🎉
😂the Ringo comments. I have heard of the Space Dweller. Think of it as the equivalent of the Omega Ranchero as being released for a limited time and similar to the Railmaster.
LOL! Omg! I went down a whole Beatles Mania rabbit hole and listened to a whole lot of women say some very thirsty things about the Beatles!
I use to think the SpaceDweller was a myth until Watchistry referenced it. I love the OysterThin, too! Great vid, Britt!
Good video. Those of us of a certain age who lived, albeit at a very young age, remember the excitement of the space race. Well done Britt. And Go NASA!
Ahhhh love it! Thabk you sooo so much! And I’m so glad you enjoyed! 💕✨
I'd heard of it and always thought it was just for the Japanese market. Lot's of unique stuff used to be sold, as you're Canadian you should look up the dress Explorers that were unique to the Canadian market!!
I NEED TO LOOK THIS UP NOW OCLOCK!
Another one you may not have heard about that is very cool but small, is the Rolex Sky-rocket, I read somewhere it was for the Canadian Air Force? also there exists a few Tudor Sky-Rocket's
I had heard of it….but never saw one and never encountered reference to it online until now. Well done Britt…..bang on trend
BAHAHA! Oh man! How did this totally miss me?! I am a MERE student of these crazy little timepieces! And a slow learner at that! 😂
@@BrittPearceWatches ..I am 68, so kicked around for a tad longer than you. It had gone totally out of my head though until your post….well done.
Didn’t know they made a Space Dweller! Great storytelling Brit! 👏🏼
Ahhh thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one! 😅🎉
Your recovery progress is coming on nicely!
Ahhh thank you! ^_^
Nico Leonard ranks Rolex best to worst. 6.16 he rates the space dweller. 👍
Good GRIEF, time stamps! You're quoting Nico like I quote scripture! ;) hehe But for reals, Ill go check out now(:
I actually HAVE heard of the space dweller early in my “learning about watches” journey but I didn’t know all that much about it either.
I can’t believe how many people have heard of this thing! 😅 I have never heard anyone mention it!!! Haha! And I roll with some pretty big Rolex lovers! 😂 every day is a learning day for the Gringa!
Great video! History! American “space race” mania of the 1960s can never be underestimated. My dad traveled a fair amount to Japan in the late 60s and early 70s. Electronic and weird gizmos were plentiful in our home. We were among the first to have Seiko watches, giant spaceman FM radio headsets (with double antennas), kabuki statues, odd carvings, silkscreens, and lifelike rubber amphibians that still look real. Just a guess, but I recall the Japanese guests to our home as being rather short and slight of build. It’s possible that 36mm was just too large for the reserved Japanese gentleman? And a Swiss watch may not have held the appeal of a U.S. model. But yeah, these are crazy cool and I’m going back in time when those ships are ready to pick up the stuff I missed.
6150, 6350, and the 6610 were all Rolex Explorers before the 1016…and there were 6610 Explorer white dial watches which are very rare too. The Space Dweller is mentioned in some Explorer history articles.
😅👏🏻
I heard about it, just never thought too much about it.
Haha well! I’ve over thought it enough for the both of us 😅
FIRST!!! and Named, Thank you Britt!! You make it easy to support the channel. Another awesome video and information. I actually had heard of this watch. Ever since I got my Tudor Ranger, I have been deep diving into Rolex/Tudor watches with 3-6-9 dials, and found a webpage dedicated to the 1016. And they had a couple of paragraphs about it. Keep busting down the gates into the kingdom of horology for us common folks. And stay unpretentious !! Long Live the Cult(s)!!
Bahaha Don H! NO NO NO, thank YOU! You are first in all respects! Haha. OMG, I love how you have heard of this watch haha... Through finding yourself in the ULTRA GEEKY, ULTA NICHE deep dive of 3-6-9 dials hahaha! I love this! I need to find this webpage!
Yes I've heard of it. But only because Nico Leonard mentioned it on one of his videos.
Ahhh no way!!! I totally missed that one!
I DID!!! I knew about it only because I saw the Hodinkee Reference Points video about the Explorer when researching to hopefully buy an Explorer one day. I’m also a space nerd so my ears definitely perked up when he mentioned that!
I have never seen a Space Dweller in person.... On the other hand, I haven´t seen space in person either.... Maybe a dweller. I´m not sure. Great video and topic!
I've been told I'm a Space Cadet........ ;) Hehe! So. I think this qualifies me to own a Space Dweller?!
@@BrittPearceWatches Obviously! 🤣
Gringa Wednesday 🎊 🔥
The space dweller should have been in the Moon instead of the speedy 😅😜
Glad to see you better and better each video Britt 🙌🏻
Bahaha perhaps it will go to Mars! ;) The Moon wasn't space enough for it! ;)
@@BrittPearceWatches But didn't the Rolex watches fall apart during the insane NASA tests? 😮
Good story. It’s important to know the history behind every watch.
It's just FUN to know the stories! ^_^
I lived in Tokyo for almost 2 years back in the late 80's and the level of Western influence was surprising given how historically recent WW2 was back then. Some of my students that were foolish enough to come to me for English lessons (Aussie slang lessons) told me it was a cultural quirk of the Japanese that they come to admire their conquerors and will assimilate many of their customs. I got invited to more Baseball games than restaurants, it was crazy.
I'm going to get a Rolex Basement Dweller if I keep spending all my time watching TH-cam videos. 😂
Bahahaha! I think the AD said I’m the top of the list for that one. 😜
I thought my Rolex knowledge was good Brit but I have never heard of it 😮. Probably worth an absolute fortune!
Bahaha I am the same! I thought I had great Rolex knowledge... But as it turns out... There's always more to learn! ^_^
Hodinkee founder Ben Clymer has one Space Dweller, it was featured in Hodinkee Magazine vol 3 page 127
LOL! you quote Hodinkee magazine like I quote scripture! ;) "If we turn to the book of our Lord, Ben Clymer. Hodinkee 3:127"
@@BrittPearceWatches hahaha, he was once named "The High Priest of Horology" by New York Times so I can relate 😂
Yes. Super hard to find
Wow, you really went all out! Best production value yet! Keep up the the great work.
BAHAHHA ahhh BLESS!!! This really means a lot to hear! I really tried on this one 😅 and I was quite nervous to put it out as the editing style is a bit different! But I am so proud of how this one turned out!
Yes i have heard about the rolex space dweller.
A few miniutes back 😂.
Thank you for the information Brittney ❤.
😂😂😂💕💕
Yup a while ago, such a cool watch. @theurbangentry talked about it a few years ago. None the less it’s a sleeper for sure. Keep up the great work 👏
Ahhh! I gotta go find that video!

Tbh britt I did know about this model, but there's stuff you know that I didn't until you told us..... Gatekeepers be damned!!!!
hehe! Gah, Watch Fam has a massive problem with Gatekeepers! >=/
New to me. Rolex does have a space history of course with the GMT. My first thought was this may some sort of legal thing to secure the name. The story of the first watch on the summit of Everest is a good one isn't it.
This was news for me, not heard of the Space Dweller previously, great content, like the format of giving us a history/back story of a watch. More of this please. 👍
Ahhh thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this one! 💕 I absolutely loved making this!
Thanks for the history lesson👍
😄❤
This was an excellent topic choice, Britt. I have known about the Space-Dweller for at least a couple years. I read about it in some article I can't recall now. However, have you watched The Hodinkee Rolex Explorer Reference Points video from last year? I happened to re-watch it the other day when I pointed a friend that's wanting an Explorer. I had forgotten about it, but they had a Space-Dweller on there. Eric Wind is so knowledgeable and they just have some amazing models that I had never heard of before that point. Your mind just might be blown if you've not watched it. Anybody else that is an Explorer fan that has not seen it, go now. Just do it.
😱😱😱 I haven’t seen this!! I need to go watch immediately!
Obv, but no shame..! One of a few odd Explorer variants. Covered in the Hodinkee Ref points...
Ahhh yes! I think the dinks have mentioned this one a couple of times from the comments! 😅
@@BrittPearceWatches Arrgghh, ver 'Dinks!! Really nice vid BTW. Love the Japan footage.
If you want to see something really niche look up the Rolex Tru-Beat…
Oh good grief! Am I going to have to do ANNNNOTHER one of these videos now?! 😅
@@BrittPearceWatches A reply from Britt Pearce… Sick.
Good to see that you're steadily recovering from the jaw surgery. Oof! The space dweller you say, huh!? Quite a curious find 😁 Also, loving this style of presentation. A bit of history, mixed in with humors and puns... and cathartic macro shots 💙 It seems exactly like rolex to jump at a cash grab opportunity 🤣 though it’s quite clear, they took up a gamble and did a quick fumble 🤣🤣🤣
I have heard of the watch. I think a few of them fell into the military exchange system inventory in the Pacific. In addition, some guys may have picked them up while on R&R in Japan. I would suggest folks check their father’s or grandfather’s cigar box watch and tie tack collection. There may be treasures there!
Gatekeepers are the worst, you are the best, Britt!! 😊
Gah! THEEE WORST! JUST LET PEOPLE LEARN, MAN! 😅🤣💕💕💕 but you are much too kind! Thank you so much!
Britt, this format of story telling video was AWESOME!!
Whaaat! Ok! This has made my day! I was really nervous to put this one out because I knew the editing style was a bit different. 🙈
Damn, I have heard of that. I hope you can find an Air Tiger too.
WHAAAAT! AIR TIGER?! Am I about to make ANOTHER one of these videos about the Air Tiger now?! 😅
@@BrittPearceWatches Please do. It is a master piece. One of the best looking Rolex watches ever. ...Especially with small seconds.
The modern Smith's Everest (Timefactors) is a 1016 Space Dweller homage.
Ouuuu need the check this out!
BTW, was not being a gate keeper, just sharing information.
Thank you Britt. I didn’t know such a Rolex existed too.
BAHAHA oh this makes me feel far better! We are all just students of these crazy timepieces!
I had, but only because Nico talked about it before
Ahhh someone else said the same! I must have missed that one 😅
Space Dweller...I feel like this is something that Spike Spiegel would wear from Cowboy Bebop.
Of course I've heard of this watch! I think. Ah, probably not. Great vid, thanks Brittany 🙂👍
🤣🤣 you e probably heard it somewhere down the line!! From the comments there’s been a couple of the dinks articles about it! (I’ve totally missed it tho! 😅🤣)
The Rolex Explorer in two tone is stunning. Very understated.
1. Interesting niche topic - big fan of this content. Take this over the slew of the same old "lets look at this trending and/or hyped watch" content.
2. This watch's marketing to the Japanese market by Rolex due the market's interest in space exploration correlates with the abundance of Omega Speedmasters in Japan on Chrono24.
3. Inserts of stock footage was very nice touch - editing seemed smooth with transitions. The upward trend continues - keep experimenting to be different and establishing you brand!
SALTY APPROVAL! Ahhhhh thank you! You know, doing hyper niche content is my favourite content to make... It's always just a bit of a gamble because it either because a highly viewed video OOOOOR just performs horribly. :( And I know you shouldn't make content for the views! But sometimes when a video has no views it's like "Hmm, maybe just not enough people are interested in this, so I should pivot" you know?! I'm still figuring things out. ^_^ BUT, I LOVE MAKING WEIRD, extra niche videos!
2. Ahhhh that makes so much sense! I also wondered if it had something to do with the newly established Japan & USA relations?! But this is me taking a leap so did not include it! (This has less to do with Rolex/Omega and more to do with the Japanese excitement around USA and space!)
3. Ahhh, I wasn't sure about teh stock images! You never know with this stuff. You gotta show the watch geeks enough watch, but I always wanted things to illustrate the story!
You rock! Thank you for this comment!
Yes more of the same Brit, please
So it’s an explorer with a different name. You can just taste the innovation 🤣🤣🤣
Bahaha CLASSSSIC ROLEX!
What a cool little watch. How insane would it be to own one? Take that to a watch meet-up and blow EVERYBODY'S freaking mind.
RIGHT?! 😂😂 their mind is already blown because they think it is a 1016…. But then you REAAALLLLY BLOW THEIR MINDS 🤣
Fascinating stuff……every day is a school day thanks Britt ❤
OWL IS HERE?!?! I was just thinking of you whilst filming the Kermit! 🐸😜💕 sending you all our love!!!
A pure watch nerd watch. A mere variant in model naming sends the value into the stratosphere.
BAHAHA right?! This is the stuff Rolex geeks go ga ga for 😜
I had a grail watch for a while which was the Rolex 19028 pyramid bezel and bracelet nicknamed the Egyptian. There are also matching dials with pyramid markers or faces. About a year ago I finally tried one on at a local dealer and the 36 mm dial case looked too small on me so its now no longer a grail to me but I still admire its niche uniqueness. That trying on saved me some future hypothetical 30 to 50k. :)
Yep, a few channels have spoke about this mega rare piece over the years
Never heard of it......wow !!! Thanks !!!!!!!!!
You and me both! Every day is a learning day ;)
Britt, great video, but you have to let it go, life is too short. Never heard of the bloody watch! 😂
BAHAHA! Ou this cracked me up! I’ll NEVER LET IT GOOO 😈😈
Simply put, it has been referenced in books. 😅
Books?! Reading?! 🤢
@@BrittPearceWatches Haha, I know. Vintage Rolex Sports Models Book 2005 by Martin Skeet and Nick Urul, Page 72. Keep well. 👈
0:43 yes but only like 2 weeks ago I learned about it 0:43
Space Dweller may be the most bad ass Rolex model name.
Loved this video Britt, possibly your best one yet. And now I know about another Rolex I can't afford...😂
There's one on chrono for 200k... i mean it's super cool, but the world has gone mad. 200k for a slightly different dial..... yep.... we are through the looking glass now
Cool video I'm really into rolex and have never heard of this.
Ahhh I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Heard about this once in one of Nico's videos
Ahh you're the third person to say!
hey Britt
Allo geezer! YOURE SO EARLY! 💕✨
Jasper ‘KOV’ from Amsterdam Vintage Watches did an item on it some time ago
I was ready to come on here to bully you for your watch knowledge Britt but 🤷🏻♂️ space dweller explorer is new to me as well 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
I heard about it from @ watchsymposium.
BAHAHA! JOSH STEEEELE! 🤣 bahaha does the bullying roll over to the next video? 😅 haha. We are all learning here!
@@BrittPearceWatches honestly was like puftttt there’s no Rolex I haven’t heard of what are you playing at gringa is getting a beat down here 😂😂 long time no speak hope you and J are well much love! ❤️
I think TGV has mentioned it before on his channel.
Ahhh! You’re the second person to say this! I must have missed this! 😱
@@BrittPearceWatches should have been some space related watch thing, maybe Fortis or Speedmaster.
Explorer Date (ref 5700 and 5701) is my fave obscure Explorer).
Austin Daniels mentioned the Space Dweller a few times on his channel...
Ahhh! While I’m sure that’s true, it’s not really reference-able. 😅 if you search up space dweller, watch symposium doesn’t come up. 😅
Do another video on the Harley Davidson Rolex - another underrated Rolex - ref : 116000
that was a fun watch. thank you
Ahh thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed! 💕💕
- Glad your healing up Britt. Hang in there. Keep the videos coming. 👍
I would say the existence of this super rare piece is even more known than the reference numbers 1630 and 1530
Yeah, probably.
I think you’re right!
I’m starting to get a little tiered of hearing about Rolex everywhere 😒 But great video tough Britt, I really glad you’re feeling better 🙂
BAHAHA! Don’t you worry! I’ve got 2 omega videos in bound and a Cartier! 😅
Yes I learned at The Urban Gentry's Videos about it :)
Hump day video drop 😲Space dweller 🔥🔥🔥
BB54 update. I’m not getting it yet. But I am literally on my way to the AD right now to pick up a bronze bay 58 boutique edition 😊😊😊. #3-6-9 club
LEMON LIIIIME!!! I LOVE THIS UPDATE!!!! Omg!!! Soooo exciting! I freaking LOVE the bronze edition! 3-6-9 action wnd just that gorgeous, warm bronze. Get in!!! Biggest congrats RVER!!!!
Never heard of it ! Thank you for this video. You are great !
Ahhh me neither! That makes me feel much better! 😜 my husband has been collecting Rolex since the 90’s, and when he hadn’t heard of it, that’s when I thought “this is a weird one”
Interesting rabbit hole. Love it. Learned something new today.
Oh I’m glad I’m not the only one!!
And all this time I thought I WAS the Rolex Space Dweller. But maybe that’s another story. 😳
LOL! 😂😂 you and me both! …. Wait. You and me both are space dwellers! Not me and you both think you are a space dweller! 😅
*Yes, I have heard of the Space Dweller. Some of us gotta get out more...* 🙂🙃 *_The most popular watch brand on the planet is not and wasn't ever "Row-Lecks." It was Seiko in the 70s then Swatch in the 80s and 90s and now it's Apple Watch._*
Never heard of the space dweller. I do t think 200 k is too much considering it’s rarity and also having g such a great design ( explorer)
