I would think that Winston Churchill’s rolex should be worth more than Paul Newmans Daytona. I mean who really was the one that left a greater mark on history. Paul Newman gave us movies and ranch dressing. Churchill stood up to the most evil man in modern history, and gave us big cigars.
I love ROLEXES BUT HATE THE BUSINESS PRACTICES..IVE SPENT MILLIONS ON WRISTWATCHES & PATEK IS A JOY TO DEAL WITH..THEY ARE THE BEST..& WILL REPAIR A WATCH FOREVER..EVEN MAKING PARTS THAT DONT EXIST ANYMORE..ITS NOT INEXPENSIVE BUT THEY ARE 100%
Been following Christian and co. at TheoandHarris for several months now - love the content, their passion, and especially the cerebral level and geeky style of enthusiasm they have for watches and the watch community. They're incredibly well-spoken and the analytical and academic quality of their discussions while still maintaining, what I see as, an heir of humor and unpretentiousness really resonates with me. Conversations I have with friends and like-minded colleagues are strikingly similar, especially the way Michael can effortlessly tie in a random story that tangents both of them off-topic and cracking jokes for a few minutes. It feels like I’m in their living room every time I switch on their TH-cam channel. Love this one with Rolly, you can really feel (and see) the mutual love and admiration between them. Also great to know that Christian's father is possibly the coolest man in the Tri-state area. Grazie mille, ragazzi!!!
So happy to hear you mention Finger Lakes region/wines. 👌🏼 I worked for several years in the wine industry on Seneca Lake. Makes my heart happy to hear FLX mentioned. What winery was that rose from?
I hope one day to be given the torch. The feeling of putting on a timepiece that was so sentimental to another person is like putting yourself in their soul. Truly a unique an amazing feeling it must be. My father is not a watch wearer but with his profession, I am trying to get him to see the importance and value of such finely made machines. A Milgaus worn daily with scratches showing a history. One can hope
The toughness of a Rolex is probably my favorite part. I've dropped Rolexes onto hardwood floors and even concrete and they're unscathed. It's ridiculous.
I would even dare to say less than 5% of Rolex owners wear the watch because they appreciate the history and the design. Over 95% just want to show they are “ballers”. 🥲
@@DutchBulldog you must know a lot of Rolex owners…. I wear my 36mm OP with joy and no one ever noticed it, but that’s not why I bought it. And I’m sure so many others too.
My father gave me his watch when he was sick a few months before he passed. Ii meant the world to me, and I wore it every day for 10+ years until I was able to buy the watch I wanted to replace it with to mark a business achievement. I still wear it for special family occasions and on his birthday. I do not have children, but I plan on passing my collection down to my nephews and niece before I leave this world so they know how important these piece are/were to me.
I love these talks with your father. I discovered Rolex in the late 1960s [my high school library] in the pages of National Geographic. I loved both the Daytona and the Submariner. I could have had a Sub for my HS graduation but got a racing bicycle instead with the $300 budget. As a young USMC pilot, I purchased my first Rolex a 16750 GMT in 1983 and in was my one watch for 30+ years. This whole conversation was awesome and really hit home for me. More so since I'm Italian American from NYC.
The one thing I love is it takes a persons heartbeat to run a Rolex (& others obvs). So when this “thing” gets passed down, it comforting to know was run purely on the heartbeat of your loved one. ❤
Rolly is back! You guys could talk about paint drying and it'd be a great episode. Its all about your Father /Son bond and the love and admiration you both portray that makes these episodes special. Thanks!
When compared to Omega or others, it’s often forgotten that Rolex always features white gold hands and indices which won’t tarnish over time as well as their own steel alloy for case+bracelet.
I think Rolex appeals to a wider base as well. The trinity watches are seen as the watches of the CEO exclusively where the cop on the beat will mark a milestone with a Rolex. I see cops, firefighters and people on movie sets wearing Rolex along with the actors, doctors etc. it is a watch i wear daily at work in uniform and at events in a tux and will one day be my daughters. That is what makes it so cool!
I never had a desire to own a Rolex as I prefer more unique, class of watches, but the more I hear the stories of Rolex and how powerful their marketing machine is, I feel like I have to own one in my life and pass it down. Damn they getting me to me, too. Guess I'll save up for the Sky Dweller...
Rollie on Rollie action
What wine?

It is sad, you got rid of Michael and replaced him with your dad. Did Michael cry, when you canned him?😂
@27:30 Now that's a good son right there...
Christian looks like Ginger’s pimp from Goodfellas 😂
Christian: "I have a desire to have a fairly simple life".
*oWnS a G-wAgOn
I do not think “discrete” when I think of Rolex. Maybe Cartier.

my goodness what a good conversation. glad I found it 8 months later lol
For the rolex fan boys, use me as the dislike button.
why you (as in anyone) almost never mention, how watches actually are jewellery

You have vintage cars all wrong. They are not hard to keep on the road - they are simple mechanical devices. Basic push rod engines, carb.

What's the name of the wine? 🍉🍷
no mikey? i think ill exit out now

10% of Rolex owners truly appreciate the watch and the rest wear them for attention and validation.
I would even dare to say less than 5% of Rolex owners wear the watch because they appreciate the history and the design. Over 95% just want to show they are “ballers”. 🥲
@@DutchBulldog you must know a lot of Rolex owners…. I wear my 36mm OP with joy and no one ever noticed it, but that’s not why I bought it. And I’m sure so many others too.
How do you estimate something like that?
Hahaha how their marketing machine works. Having just made a touching video on owning gold Rolexes 😂 love your work man! ❤
Jesus, Michael aged like a banana
LOL
Rolex, now, isn't discrete. That went out the window a while ago.
The advertising mind tricks don't work on me. Also, I heard the G shock will be ok at the top of the Matterhorn too!

Mike didnt spoke a word till 2:55…what a Legend!
Beautifully captures why I love watches. The thought of my children wearing them and thinking of me after I’m gone is very satisfying.
I love these talks with your father.

What was the wine? I want to grab some, sounded awesome
Well done gentleman. Probably the best podcast I have ever watched. 👏
Excellent! “A crown for every
achievement.” The Rolex ads in National Geographic magazine sent me on my journey. Cheers
Love this ❤️🙏
Great to see Rolly back on the channel!
The one thing I love is it takes a persons heartbeat to run a Rolex (& others obvs). So when this “thing” gets passed down, it comforting to know was run purely on the heartbeat of your loved one. ❤
The best thing Rolex does is marketing. Too bad the marketing doesn’t match the watch.
We want more Rolly! He’s a no bullshit guy and love his perspective and your chemistry with him!
First. Gimme a free t-shirt. :)
The “Louis” in Louisville is pronounced like in Louis Vuitton. The “ville” in Louisville is pronounced like “vul” so you’d say Louis-vul
I have always loved Rolex but never truly craved one...until now! Beautiful show, guys. You perfectly capture the essence of the brand.
Zeron is a true gentleman. Great video!😊
Rolly is back! You guys could talk about paint drying and it'd be a great episode. Its all about your Father /Son bond and the love and admiration you both portray that makes these episodes special. Thanks!
After chasing success for 30 years I have finally found peace as I approach my 50th birthday. Thank you gentlemen for sharing your thoughts.
Versatility, reliability, exceptional proportions.
Love seeing Rolly back!
Gives me OG Liquor Run Flashbacks
This week's first excuse to talk about Rolex. Who won the pool?
My new favorite quote. "A phone is a cigarette, a watch is a cigar". As an avid cigar smoker, this is definitely accurate.
Roly is backkk💪💪💪
A Rolex is a companion for life and that’s why passing them down can mean so much.
are you aware of the 32xx issues that is getting discussed?
These are my fav type of eps
The third word he was looking for was duality
When compared to Omega or others, it’s often forgotten that Rolex always features white gold hands and indices which won’t tarnish over time as well as their own steel alloy for case+bracelet.
Rolex has been using 904l steel since 1985, and it is NOT their invention, regardless of how they phrase their commercials.
Omega, Tag Heuer, Zenith and Grand Seiko (to name a few) use rhodium, which also does not tarnish over time and is more valuable than white gold.
Rolly seems way too cool to be Christian's dad
I think Rolex appeals to a wider base as well. The trinity watches are seen as the watches of the CEO exclusively where the cop on the beat will mark a milestone with a Rolex.

I extract the strangest things sometime....Tom T. Hall reference. Nice!
Seeing your dads older pictures my god the resemblance shocked me lol even now too, Great video as always.
Great deep dive on why the Rolex matters to one's showing "I made it" You and Rolle passion for Rolex shows; great father and son bond!
Link to the James Cameron story??
Where is the link to the James Camoran ad!?

The conversations with your dad are very cool. I could live without the drinking. I think you guy could as well.
They could, but they chose not to do without, they want to enjoy it, it has become "their thing"/their tradition
What does a glass of wine have to do w their great presentation
Virtue signalling
Rolex is aspirational but still affordable enough to have “every man” appeal.
