#rolex #submariner #watches - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Did a similar thing in the airport in Cape Town. Was on my way to the departure gate and walked past a jeweller. I've always had a thing for watches and briefly paused to look in the Tag Heuer window. There was a tiny sign that said "50% off". I walked in and said to the lady, "Is that sign real ?" She said it was. I did a quick currency calculation in my head from SA Rand to NZ Dollars and knowing the full price in NZ Dollars, it was indeed half price. Out came my credit card and I paid for it. She told me she was going to get the box and paperwork etc and I told her I didn't have time, my plane was leaving. She handed me the watch. I put it in my pocket and raced for the departure gate. I was literally the last person on. About 2 minutes later, after buckling my self in and trying to catch my breath, the sales lady from the shop appeared with my paperwork and the watch presentation box. She handed it to me with a big grin on her face and was escorted off by one of the air hostesses. I think the year was 2000. I still have the watch.... and the paperwork and the leather presentation box.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's stories like these that makes any watch buying experience a memorable one!
Wow... that sales lady was amazing... 👏
Wow! I really hope that watch lady is doing well wherever she is now
Those paper and box are valuable one day when you want to sell it. I keep my Rolex receipt ,certificate, and box in the drawer for my son as inheritance
You bought a watch, without the box, and put it in your pocket instead of your wrist?😂😂😂
The actual reason for removing the protective film on the various parts of the watch is to ensure that the watch cannot be sold as ‘new’ on the grey market. Hope this helps.
Even though, you can still do that!
But what if you have to buy it as a gift ... And don't want the wraps removed....
I left mine on and wore the watch as a daily and within a few weeks it caused uneven wear to the gold inside of the clasp, I’d certainly not recommend leaving them on around the clasp.
@@jaysimpson6857 lmao bruh
I think them removing this stickers is great for the resellers who are driving up prices...
I did the same thing 20 years ago and bought a black dial version. It was one of the the greatest moments of my life as I saved 10 years to buy that watch. I flew from Amsterdam to London and took a coffee after 3 hours went back. I still regret I sold it after had some marriage issues and needed the money to divorce etc etc. Great watch though. The feeling wearing it you cannot describe.
Hey thanks for sharing your story. You did what you had to do, don't think you should feel regretful. At least you kept the memories and share it with the community here. Thank you.
Hi S VDB. That's why like to buy used watches, specially Rolex, even though most of the times we will never know, I bet they all have some interesting life story behind it.
Bare in mind that this watch will be always connected to you, and your life is now part of someone's life, and it will keep going on and on until the day the watch somehow is destroyed ( IF it's )
:D
What's the price in Amsterdam?
@@abdulazizabdullah2421$5 and some pocket lint and buttons
@@jonatan_leandoer96 I think it's fake one for $ 5??
Bought mine in 1989, worn every day, work and travel. Serviced twice and polish myself. Still looks brand new and always brings attention. I have the black face and did find a real gold/stainless clasp, the gold through clasp was not oem at the time.
Congrats, wear it well, and always. Hey, I wore mine home from the dealer!!
Congrats. The staff at Schiphol has generally been very kind. Congrats on picking up this piece.
Add this to the list of things that will NEVER happen to me on a business trip when I visit a Rolex boutique 😂 CONGRATS!!!
Seriously.... 😮.... NO!!.... SERIOUSLY.... 😮, Just walk up to an AD and got a 2 tone sub.... NO!! It's a myth.... A myth....
@@dianajohari2120 its not so rare anymore, and all the inflation with it is gone as well.
Hey Ric, how you doing? OHOOOOOO!!! 😯
So how much did you pay ?
@@derekcharlton6001 this watch is circa €16000 and most european VATs are around 20% so he probably got his for €12800
This is the only two-tone Rolex I would ever consider. Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations
It’s not the most popular sports but still amazing they had it available. Must have timed your visit to perfection! Congratulations
Great pickup! The Bluesy is outstanding and to be able to pick it up on travel just makes the trip that much more spectacular!
I was in the same AD last year, and they told me they were a pilot AD for Rolex for a new program where Rolex sends the AD random watches at regular intervals, that they are asked to sell without waiting lists. Benefit is obvious, but the down side is you never know what watches they might have for sale. I really like the concept!
This concept kinda make sense because how can you possibly do waiting list where most passengers are travellers on transit.
Hi Robert, funny story! I had the same experience when I was there last year to. Fantastic staff and much better service than the normal stores. she told me that they had people sleeping over to visit them on a special day every week.. :P
Isn’t in Japan the ADs work like that? I heard they don’t have waiting lists.
Gasshan Schiphol's the name of this same AD?
All "waitlists" are made up by the AD.
Congrats on the Rolex, and thanks for sharing this experience via video.
I got one datejust from the same shop about a year ago while returning from a US trip. I always check the inventory of Rolex stores, and while they were saying they have none in stock, the “delivery guy” brought one Datejust. They asked me if I wanted to and made me pay before opening the box. Even though I own a few Rolex watches, my adrenaline level increased during that time 😂
Hey bruh, are you rich?
You made a good decision to ask if the AD had any models available for sale. I simply didn’t ask because I asked at several places and they always said the same thing. Good that you kept trying!! 😊👍👏
The number of times I have passed by this exact boutique and they told me that nothing is for sale makes me go crazy. Congrats bro :)
The power of the norwegian passport 😂🇳🇴❤
Same here, twice a month in Amsterdam, got same answer all the time
for you , you get nothing.... ;-) - th-cam.com/video/RqlQYBcsq54/w-d-xo.html
@@enrage6073 Hate to say that, but yes. Some of the Rolex staff sometimes judge by the looks, I am not saying all of them but some of them. Which is disgusting.
Add to that, I was at Gassan's palace today in Amsterdam, they wrote to me over email that the watch was in stock yesterday and they were waiting for me to go and pay for it. I took my father and I went to collect today as they said, and the first thing I know is that they watch was sold. I was in absolute shock today and could not explain why this was happening, and at the same time, I did not want to make a scene so I just asked them politely if I can preorder it and then they were like "Sorry, we do not accept preorders". I was like, for god's sake why is there even a store if you have got nothing in stock and you do not accept preorders.
Submariners are not my priorities but, man oh man, isn't this piece of art pure gorgeous...👌🏻Congratulations, dude.
What a nice friendly sales assistant. So unlike most Rolex ADs.
Huh? Any time I went to one of their airport locations they were hella nice. They even let you try on stuff they know you won't buy.
Hard to find at retail. Great buy. I bought my blue submariner 25 years ago. It’s been a great watch.
Fantastic buy!!! Great video, also!
I was in Europe last fall, including Switzerland, and stopped at several Rolex ADs. No success in finding a sport watch for sale. "Long wait lists, limited availability", etc.
Stopped in my local AD in the states, that I have purchased from before, in Dec. 22 with same response. Asked to be put on a wait list for a new Rolex Sub, no date, and received a text in January that one was available.
Bought it !!!
Congrats, I think the Bluesy is an amazing looking watch. Enjoy and wear it in good health!
Hello. I'm very curious. Did you pay for it at the retail price as marked like the ones in the display?
I’ve had mine for nearly 12 years now. It’s still stand out. Love it.
My Oyster Perpetual is 29 years old, still love it
Have the exact same model. Bought mine in springtime 2021, been wearing it every day since. Never polished it, still looks stunning. It gets an immense amount of attention, the blue dial is truly unmistakable. Congrats!
No doubt it gets a great deal of attention. I have witnessed the same thing with my Rolex. The only problem is, one day it’s going to attract the wrong attention, and it will be stolen or you will be hurt badly in the process. it’s not a matter if it’ll happen, it’s a matter of when.
How much did you pay for yours?
@@yomama412 154 600 SEK at my local AD in Sthlm. I want to recall the retail price in USD being around 14 300 at that time.
I have a blue dial Submariner- it is easily the best looking Submariner, but because so many people know that they aren't as rare as the other face colours
@@Holmberg358 Jesus christ that's alot. So nice though. Worth it yes
That's great! Must have been a fun flight staring at your new piece😊.
I remember taking several business trips to Hong Kong around 2015. Subs and Pepsis were always on display to be tried on at airport duty free stores, and Nautilus was easily available at Patek boutiques downtown. I told myself I would buy one in a couple of years. A couple of years... 😭
Nautilus easily available ? Wasnt there a 10 year waitlist?
@@GOLDENEYEAL Not in 2015. It was a different age...
🤝 same. Never thought it would be an issue. Oh, well.
PS - HK was great back in the day before Beijing started calling the shots and the locusts were everywhere.
I’ve been lucky to find hard to find timepieces in Schipol myself. I genuinely like that airport. Wear it in good health. Congratulations! I hope you got to have a croquette while there as well.
Nice purchase. The staff person at the store seemed very kind and helpful which is nice to see as well.
Beautiful piece. Congratulations and wear in good health my friend ! Cheers
Lucky find, congrats. I picked up my first Rolex at the Schiphol duty free in 1993.
One of the best references they make. An icon!
Totally agreed. It’s so recognisable
@@sgwatchtalk9906 It is a grail watch, tried to find that blue in other brands, maybe the Zenith Rainbow chronomaster bi-colour from 2004? I have seen someone wearing it at an airport, but that was at Heathrow.
@@light1531 One that comes very close in that colour is Tag Heuer Aquaracer WAB 1120. Different class of watch, but surprisingly similar shade of blue.
@@light1531 that color is also my grail Watch, saw it and love it 🥰
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful watches Rolex has ever made , congratulations bro 👏🏻
My favorite is Rolex GMT II :)
gorgeous watch and gorgeous color combination. Back around 1989 I bought myself a Date-Just with that same combination. Jubilee bracelet with Stainless and gold and had the blue dial and blue bezel around it. Dang it was so beautiful. I had many compliments on that color combination. Sold it a few years back but should have kept it. Oh well, stuff happens. LOL
Now I'm retired and can't afford a new or used one but I do have a much cheaper watch, an Invicta, which pays homage to Rolex. Same color combination and same bracelet as this one here. Has been running great and it's heavy just like the Rolex is. Love it, but not as much as my old Rolex. Good luck with it sir.
the fact that rolex had them in stock and not on waiting list is remarkable.
Yeah, that's right. I called over months to have them update me they have a stock. When they said we have 3 stock now I went straight to Schiphol. After I arrived in 1.5 hour there was onely one left. It's amazing these watches go as candy so fast people buy it.
@@svdb4494 yeah i've called multiple AD"s around miami and all along the coast, there's a waiting list for every single store. Daytona is like 2+ years.
@@thedong5383 I booked a flight Amsterdam to London and back to get the tax advantage 🙂
@@svdb4494 Of course you'd have to declare it on the way back. ;)
@@aeroAdvocate You can't just wear it and say it's your daily driver?
Love the fact you can steal this amazing watch, duty free , no waitlist and catch your flight! Congrats 🎈! Love the two tone Submariner!!

Rolex is not duty free on schiphol. Everything is except rolex and tudor. Bought my seamaster there last year.
Amazing! I have been to that store so many times and they never had anything for sale.
Smart buy brother! Enjoy!
thats a really nice watch u got there man. i recently bought a GMT. these watches are just amazing
Such an awesome pick up! So lucky of you to get it when they had something in stock. A bluesy at that too!
Anyone Need Accounts Services, Transaction Handle , Currency Exchange 😅
Was never a Rolex fan, but this is the only one I would ever buy for myself, that blue dial with the gold is so much more unique and eye catching than the standard silver submariner.
I think you could appreciate Rolex’ rare stone dials, like Lapis, malachite, onyx, aventurine, fossil, etc
Yellow gold is awful 🤮
Normal its the most nice rolex ever made , never sold mine , imoossible
If that’s what you like then you will be able to acquire that specific watch quite a bit more easily than a pure stainless steel version. There are many gold ones available for sale due to the market not desiring the yellow gold, they don’t hold the same value in the secondary market either.
Black and gold looks even better
Two tone subs are almost always available for sale. I was in Corfu, Greece 10 days ago and there's a new AD there. Two tone sub was available, but I wanted the black one ... so no watch for me I guess :D
Such a handsome watch. Recently sold my 2007 blue Z to bobs watches. Made $$ off it too. This one you have is absolutely stunning.
Congratulations, a great purchase. The availability of Rolex has improved enormously as the grey market is becoming overloaded with watches from sellers in Asia, particularly China which is suffering from a financial disaster right now with its imploding property market, and owners trying to get dollars quickly. Istanbul, where I'm based has a big supply of Rolex and other luxury brands. So, over time, your story will not be unusual as the grey market becomes overstocked, Rolex stores will have more availability.

Really…I am in China now and don’t see these issues you are ranting about? Have you been here before or you imagined all this because CNN and NBC told you so 😂😂😂
Similar thing happend to me at an airport AD last year, but I played the situation very differently. Congrats man, its an amazing watch you got there.
How did you play the situation? Beat off in the corner?
@@ssleddens yeah.
Lying sack
@@ssleddens LOL
@@FCD844nice
what did you pay and what year is this watch? Thanks.
That is GORGEOUS! Congratulations.
That’s incredible find.
I think it’s more of a incredible opportunity! It’s really hard to get one
Actually with the market how it’s looking. I bet a dealer offers you retail price for it. I know he isn’t selling, just talking value. Then they flip it for a grand profit
The no tax made it a good deal, otherwise, I think you can get that watch for retail price + tax easily
@@johnnychimpo7539 a dealer wouldn't even give you list for it they can be had around and below retail now a lovely watch be no longer investment pieces as well as other Rolex models. The market isn't like before don't believe the hype. Ring a dealer and offer them one and most likely they will only offer to sell it for you for a commission.
@@danielthompson803 what are you trying to say?
It’s an easy watch to get and they would give me a discount?
That's insane! I've heard a lot about Rolex AD's being a nightmare. But it seems in other parts of the world there are Rolex AD's that are accomodating and friendly. I wish all Rolex AD's are like what's shown in the airport.
I think it’s really hard for them to offer any pieces now as they are experiencing a shortage of watches. But nonetheless I’m impressed and I’m glad I’m able to experience this!
How?? I am mad of questions
It depends what model it is A lot of models have been around retail and the ads know that the harder model daytona etc are still very hard to get from ads
@@moneymikz funny thing is that the employees know as well that Rolex is doing that shortage artificially but the can’t do anything about it
There is no shortage
Thanks for sharing the experience
Gorgeous watch!! Absolutely stunning.
I'm not a huge Rolex fan, but even so I might have been willing to miss my connection just to try that watch on! (I am definitely a blue dial fan, and that is exquisite.) Gorgeous watch, well done!!!!
Blue dials are cool …i have nautilus and a AP ltd edition both blue dial …rolex are good for there bullet proof attributes.
I've been doing the same last few months have traveled through Europe and Asia and been through some major airports with Rolex stores but every time I ask anything in stock, just smiles and no sorry. Congrats!!!
why bother being open if no watches for sale
@@BitcoinManagement76062 why aren't they selling?
Absolutely stunning watch congratulations 👏👏
One of my hates are workers/dealers wearing rings. I’ve had quite a few watches scratched quite a bit before I’ve even had a chance to walk away from the shop with them .
Just bought my first Rolex Datejust today, incredibly lucky since they could sell only one watch from their stock to me and it was the exact model I was after for months. Seems to be stock is slowly coming up. They had to count the whole Rolex stock just to ensure they had enough pieces on display just to follow Rolex guidelines and luckily they had one extra so I could have bought any piece on display 🤩.
Also I noticed even the sales lady and manager was genuinely happy to see they had one watch extra they could sell.
Again it's always better to ask, I went in there to buy a Omega since it seems like Rolex is not going to be available for a while and walked out with a Datejust.
What kind of Datejust was that?
That's crazy, what a nice finding
Thank you!
@@sgwatchtalk9906how.much did you pay?
I, too, bought a Blue Dial Timex watch at an airport. I missed my flight because the sales lady had a difficult time removing all the stickers.
Beautiful watch, congratulations! I have been at that exact place over 50 times in my life, and shopped watches (cheaper ones) and some jewelry (for my ex back in time) from that Gassan store. Nice people, fair prices.
Its a really awesome watch . Have the SS GMT and Two tone Daytona with a blue Arabic dial. Been on the waiting list for this at Watches of Switzerland for a long time and also been trying to get a Patek Philippe Platinum with minute repeater at another AD in Perth without any luck at all. Well done.
How price Sir?$
Lately, Rolex are becoming more available. I recently walked into a an AD in NYC, and they had four ready to sell me. I was so surprised. I think the gray market will be running scared soon.
The upcoming downturn in the economy will have many more of these available for sale.
Were any stainless steel? Or were they precious metal or two tone ?
A whole 4 watches!!😂
Fuck them with their games . Only Omega for me !!!
Which nyc store?
Doing business with the dutch is amazing. Very open and honest
Absolutely brilliant! I've been keeping my eye open for a Rolex AD at every airport that I've been to during the last 2 years, but so far, all I've seen has been Seiko, or shockingly Sekonda! Amazed that Sekonda can afford airport retail space! Without a doubt, buying Rolex from an airport is the best way to buy! I'm assuming that the dealers was 'airside' but it would potentially be worth travelling specifically just to go to the AD!
Gassan is great! I bought my first Rolex with them in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, an Explorer 1. Super nice people that treated me seriously, even though I'm 21. Have seen that different in multiple other stores unfortunately
The same for Klm crew, i think is a general kind and professional approach i found in the Netherlands several times
A part for a few models Rolex is getting back at retail prices. Entered in a Rolex shop for the first time and they told me that for a dayjust white gold or the milgaus I have to wait 6 months. For the explorer 2 around 8. Finally the hype and the shortage of supplies caused by Covid are passed. They are not cheap by any mean, but for they retail price Rolex are good value and the best wrist presence.
Agreed!!!
I don't hate Rolex, but clearly Rolexes are not good value for the price. They are overpriced for what they are.
@@Solinvicti they’re far from good value but they hold value or rise.
They lied to you. The ADs don’t know how many watches or when they will arrive. And if a longtime customer comes in and wants the watches you’re waiting for they will get them. I wish you well but don’t get your hopes up. If you live in a big area and have no history, you may be waiting yrs - unless the world economy completely tanks.
The All Solid Yellow Gold drowns the Blue Dial, but the Two Tone with the Polished Yellow Gold Links in the Middle make the Blue face stand out along with the Stainless steel body. Two Tone Is the way to Go!!
It’s amazed me that the submariner looks in real and on a video better than on a picture.
Just make sure you’re wearing it when you return to your home country & make sure you mail the packaging & papers back home too. I’ve heard people getting hit randomly for custom searches when they land back home & a new Rolex is found in it’s original packaging in their luggage, leading to a big excise charge by customs.
That dealership is gonna get REALLY busy, and that staff member is gonna get asked for A LOT !!

Which clock is it at 0:46 top right. What color is that?
Even if you had to miss the flight no regrets. You can keep looking at your watch until the next flight
I have an old OYSTER that still has the original “hologram” sticker on the back of the case. Turns out the dealer back in 84’ overlooked that , my local dealer was amazed. It’s actually a gold plated one lol. Even the gal at the Rolex store thought it was “fake”. Manger had to verify. They did do gold plating back in the late 70s mid 80s. Separately, So baller to buy a Rolex out of the blue during a layover. This man is my idol. Somebody Buy him a TV dinner! Pronto tonto!
The 126613LB is one of many Rolex that has been dropping in price some below msrp in the grey market. Not surprised you found one at the airport. but congrats
Congrats! Enjoy your Rolex in good health!
What was the price?
Likely full retail....25-29k
With the Rolex bubble bursting I think that they are slowly becoming more available.
So none of the other watches in the cases were available for purchase?
That's my dream watch...it must be around 16000 to 17000 euros these days! Good for you, amazing watch.
This makes me yearn for my gold Rolex President. The feeling I got when I made the purchase is beyond description. Sadly, regulatory changes forced my company to shut down. I had to sell it along with my wife’s Gold President with shoulder diamonds. After the sale , we walked hand in hand down New Bond Street, London crying our eyes out.
Sorry for your losses. Sometimes you have to do what you need to do in life. Thanks for sharing your memories and story to the watch community. Much appreciated.
@@sgwatchtalk9906Thank you. I appreciate your comment.
I had a layover in Schiphol last summer and happened to stroll into this same boutique. Thankfully my connection was on time or some questionable financial decisions would've ensued!
What a feeling it must be to walk in and actually buy a Rolex
It felt exactly like going into a store and buying a sweater.
Not a huge fan of Rolex,but this watch is incredibly stunning!!!!!❤
Congratulations!!! One of my favorite Rolex and I am wearing mine as I type ! But I have the previous ceramic model with gold script , none the less all Bluesies are gorgeous!!! 🎉🥳🔥
How much was it below? so 21% VAT or 16%?
As i am watching you buy this Rolex, i am wearing my Invicta Grand Diver and i think, its no Rolex, but for $150, its a damned good watch. Congratulations.
i just check my phone for the time, amazing stuff
WTH!?? I was in that very store last month, asking the very same question! I guess you were there at a more fortuitous time! Congrats!
Fortunately my local AD called me the week I got home to say I could pick up an SD43. :D
That’s why visiting your local AD occasionally, talk watches, remind them you’re still interested, is important. I got the Tudor GMT Opaline exactly that way - stopped at the AD to say hello; their delivery had arrived 45 minutes earlier so they hadn’t even had time to start calling people. ‘If you want it, it’s yours.’ I’ve bought 2 other Tudors there but know I’m not their top customer (I’ve met guys at events there - they own 12 or more) and probably wasn’t next in line. Of course I bought it immediately.
Congratulations!! The Rolex staff was awesome.
Beautiful watch dawg. Congratulations.
That watch is now selling on the grey market for under retail and is quite easy to get.
Where? $15,600 USD is msrp.
Congrats on owning such a nice timepiece, so it was for sale if you don't mind me asking how much was it??👀🙂🙂 My dream watch is an Omega Seamaster 300m but its definitely outta my price range atm
WOW ❤ YOU WAS SO LUCKY!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 MR.
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!! CHEERS 🍻 TO YOU.
That dude is the luckiest guy on earth! I'm trying my best to find a bluesy submariner for years now but haven't found one for sale! 😢 This two tone bluesy submariner is my dream watch, I'm jealous right now but good for you bro! Thank you for this vid, now I have an idea where to go hunting that elusive watch!👍🏼
Same here, but not at an airport (so I had to pay tax). I went into a store, asked, and they said yes! TT Datejust for me!
Datejust is a beautiful watch! CONGRATZ as well!!!
You know things are bad when people get excited about the chance to buy a two tone datejust haha
@@whereRbearsTeeth what is your suggestion for a dress watch? A chunky submariner or gmt? The only reason to go with all steel rather than TT on the Datejust is if you can’t afford
Usually prices are tax free in airports but more expensive than outside if you deduce the taxes.. how much did you pay for this one? What was the difference with the regular price?
So they make up for the difference?
That’s the same watch that Bill Paxton wore in the Titanic movie.
Congrats on your new Rolex.
It’s beautiful.
Just picked this one up a month ago brand new 2023 box & papers from grey market for 18,500 out the door. Couldn’t be happier love my blusey 😀
On my way to my brother’s funeral in Norway, I visited this boutique and they had two watches sitting in a giant and otherwise empty glass case…a James Cameron Sea Dweller, which the guy who walked in 30 seconds before me snapped up, and a Datejust which I naturally grabbed….the only silver lining in that dreadful experience.
Sorry for the loss of your brother.
I have a James Cameron sea dweller. I’ve also owned the typical Sub with date. Love my Deep Sea.
The fact he walked into a watch shop and had to ask if they had anything for sale said it all! If that's how it goes, they can keep their watches.
The two-tone models aren't selling well at the moment and are often below RRP, even in non-duty-free stores. And sometimes you can even find one for sale!!! IKR???
Nice they let you keep the hang tag. Bought an omega in Aruba and they took the hang tag and said they had to send it back to Omega.
Love this, how it absolutely should be. Firstly, I was stressing out the whole video thinking your flight was leaving! Secondly, can someone explain to me how the whole bullshit waiting list/preferred bollocks works for airport boutiques 🤣 - It's not like they can call you saying your watch is in and ask if you can pop into the shop...
Generally they do have preferred buyers still like any other AD (frequent business travellers, pilots etc) but in some countries (eg Singapore) there is no waitlist option and it’s first come first served (assuming no one preferred has called ahead to reserve).

Are you serious? I’d gladly pay the fee to change flights to the next day to snag a Rolex. A few hundred vs thousands buying a grey market watch.
I happen to have this same watch, and it’s probably worth about $10k in today's market. I’ve also got a Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon and a Patek Philippe!
Great collection!…
I’ve had mine for 5 years and it's still pristine!…
3 watches aren’t a collection Estevez, well maybe at least 5. I keep a (Tudor, Datejust, Speedmaster, Blancpain, Tag Heuer and Cartier Santos)
Lol! You’re probably right but as you know my “collection” is worth way more.
Nice collection! If you every want to display your collection, can consider sending me wrist shot videos and I can upload them on this channel for the community to see!
I must say, that this watch looks very nice. Normally i'm not so into Rolex, but this watch is cool. I have to take a closer look at her. Congrats for the catch.
