- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- This is the most surprising release of last years Rolex line up. With the unexpected discontinuation of the Cellini this was Rolex answer, the 1908! Here is a model that I particularly like. I feel that this is the answer to the Patek Callatrava from Rolex!
Thank you for watching!

The 1908 was a great addition to the Rolex catalog. Classy beautiful watch that’s priced correctly with a $10k discount to the Calatrava.
Should've been about 16-17k $ if you ask me but well, its just a slight overpricing, I have the black dial black strap white gold variant
Personally I prefer the JLC ultrathin moonphase. But happy to see a dress watch from Rolex, I’m curious to sees where model range goes. If there will be a 1908 moonphase or perpetual calendar. Platinum and steel and a midnight blue dial would be a nice edition to the line.
For $20k I’d rather go $30k and get the Patek
Might want to look at service costs for the Patek
Service on a calatrava not too bad. I have the annual calendar regulator. That will be much more.
@@andrewdavid9333if one is worried about the service cost then one should not buy a Patek. Like when I hear people complain about Bugatti service costs 😂
@@ricflair8863I agree completely, even though I had the funds to buy a Patek annual calendar but I was curious what the service costs might be, a dealer said it's around 4k USD for a full service through Patek's official service center. Although I probably won't need one in 6-7 years, I'm not willing to spend that much and decided that I can't afford the watch. Which reminds me, having the funds to buy something doesn't necessarily mean being able to truly afford it.
Why would you want to do that?
I have the code 1159 chronograph in the blue fume dial in the rose gold case, an amazing and well thought out design from the holy trinity. I’d rather save and get the Patek over the 1908 in a minute. You purchase what you like and wear daily, no watch should only be reserved for special occasions. Wear them all the time regardless of where you are going. Another excellent video, thank you, Eric.
Big fan of the 1908, don't think they have a Rose version out though....
The everose option isn’t available in the website anymore
Needs a Moonphase
The code 11.59 is by far the most important launch in the last decade, it's what you can call a comprehensive and complete line that can go from simple to high complications with from my opinion an iconic case design that Rolex would never dare to make, as for the 1908 I would bench mark with definitely Chopard LUC which is leagues ahead of it.
agree.. eric has completely lost the plot here.. this rollie is just another dresser..
@@rbcb1no Eric is saying the naming sucks, and it does. It can be a great watch with a crap marketing name.
Cellini looked better IMO
Yeah, especially the moonphase. The 1908 just feels cheap and simple
There is no rose gold option.
I love it! It's my next one in line but for me the white gold silver dial please...! Great video as always.
I like that it looks a bit less dressy and has more water resistance compared with the Calatrava. Hoping to see one in person soon.
Nice watch. The last Cellini was also nice. But the direction in which Rolex is going with the dress watch seems correct. Great review. Keep it up. I myself would go for a Moritz Grossman dress watch instead of a Calatrava.
One reason your videos are getting better is that you show “the watch” more.
Yep, I watch it muted, his across the wall accent drives me nuts
Still haven't seen one in person, and from pictures the dial looks curiously flat. It's also strange that they would opt for a syloxi hairspring. Frankly, there are better options at this price point, and it's a shame the old Cellini never appealed to anyone, the Prince with its nicely finished movement was lovely, as was the moonphase.
Prince was the best.
Code 1159 looks like Michael kors fashion watch
Everose was never an option on the 1908. I believe Eric is mistaken. Yellow gold or white gold only. However, I’m sure Everose will make an appearance in the 1908 line soon enough.
It looks great. My problem is the price. I rather buy a pre-owned Patek, VC patrimony or Lange (or even Chopard LUC) for that money. With a proper hand finished movement. For a non-hand finished movement this watch would need to be $5k lower.
They may not hold their value on the gray, maybe we will see them for way under retail!?
@@daniellewis9240I would very much like that. So far they are over retail. Probably too new and not enough out there yet.
This type new case's architecture and movement are very nice. Very cool piece 1908 ❤ Curious if Rolex will make this one with moonphase in 2024 🤔 🙃
I not a big fan of the numbers on the watch face, it reminds me too much of the Explorer. Using a different color on the inside of the leather strap was a very nice touch. I could see some further development there.
Me encanta... ❤ Sobre todo ese verde en el reverso ... Pero la verdad , no veo el precio para nada !!!
Love your content big fan! 🔥🚀
love this . Stunning and classy . Enjoy your videos . Greetings from Ireland ☘
Eric, it’s pronounced Chellineee not Cellini - 1908 is a wannabe calatrava! I made my AD weep when I said I’d rather pay £10k more and have a calatrava. I went the very day and got one from my Patek AD and a few days later rocked it. My AD - Rolex, admitted it was more beautiful than a 1908. Unbelievable BUT TRUE! I hear you Kemo
Flex that influence Eric. Let's see how prices go.
PP 6119 or VC Patrimony is better
Jlc master ultra thin perpetual calendar
The dial design and hour hand really stand out.
They honestly killed it
Nice clean looking dress watch.
This would be an ideal watch if it were 36mm!
Love it wish there was a steel or platinum
Platinum iced blue with the case back would be amazing . Rolex did do a platinum iced blue celleni.
Wish I had one
Love it want one for me and my dad
I saw the first one of these in my AD today. It is stunning. Yellow gold is muted. White dial is matt and almost creamy. A wonderful looking watch. Very tempted. £19,300 here in the UK. Bargain!
Great review on a piece I don’t care for personally.
I love it, but I think one would do better with a vintage calatrava, pre-owned VC Patrimony, or a JLC master ultra thin. To take this 1908 over those, you have to really just prefer rolex as a brand, otherwise, the others do it better IMO. It's nice to see though.
It’s like the Rolex 1016 and Omega Ranchero had a baby. 👶🏻
Agreed. I think if they lost the three Arabics the design instantly improves. If also change the crown shape. They shouldn't have focused on details that tie it into designs they already have. This just proves to me Rolex should just stick to sport and sporty dress watches.
We need a review of the white gold one with white dial please
Absolutely love the 1908! 👍🏾👍🏾
Those suit watches are fire but that Rolex 1908 is thee watch! 🔥
🎉🎉
1908 Chronograph would be a stone in the shoe for A. Lange & Söhne
I think this watch is a prime example that brands have certain strong suits and the black tie dress watch isn't for Rolex. There is a slight improvement in areas from the Celinni. However, it looks too much of a hybrid between the Celinni and a Calatrava. Dress watches need a ton of restraint but complexity at the same time. The open case back isn't really a selling point here. The dial is the key feature which could use the most attention to differentiate it from being a low priced Calatrava.
black tie? what you talking about?! Presidentes all day!
The 1908 is a classy Banger!!
It would be nice if it is 36mm
Its clean
They should include enamel dial and black polish hands/indices. Current dials are too flat. White gold on white definitely best imho
that's nice and classy from Rolex.
i like it.
White face, yellow gold, brown strap. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I said the same thing . The moment the 1908 came out I said Whitegold with the matte black dial is the winner . I love rose gold and yes if they had a platinum model then I’d pick platinum all day (I’m sure it’s coming . It’ll probably have baguette hour markers 💎 🔥 that’d be killer
Or a platinum 1908 with the glacier dial (maybe baguettes) 🥶
It’s probably be priced at like $48.5-56K
No steel version?
beautiful!!!!
unfortunately Patek owns that space that callatrava with the hobnail is just next level.
The 1908 is stunning, that vintage toned matt dial finish is the same as the WG skydweller.
You could rock the shit out of that 1908 on a regular basis and really enjoy it not just use it sparingly like a calltrava though .
Agreed, tang and buckle is better.
Beautiful yet overpriced .
It is a beauty.
Never understood your passionate hate to the code?!!! 1908 is a cool watch but they copied the calatrava too much and at this price point it might make sense to push a little bit and either get a calatrava or a used lange /VC
Did you saw a Breguet Clasigue ever ?
Yeah I own one.
low 20s'? OH HELL NO....F that. it should be around $7,000.00 with polished stainless.....
A see through case back on a Rolex is a low key cost cut. It doesn’t make it more valuable like you mentioned. It cheapens it. I’d rather have a solid piece of gold than a cheap sapphire crystal.
Same with the new platinum Daytona.
When you look at this line it's clear why one would pay more for a JLC dress watch and should grab one before the rest figure it out 😅
It doesn't come in rose gold
If i ever get an old timer looking watch, I want a moonphase and maybe perpetual calander. These simple dress watches that cost a decent amount are just boring for the price. Ish.
It’s a nice design but my beef with it is in the WG version, they didn’t even bother to do a WG rotor to match…. I absolutely hate mixed metals like that it looks like a design flaw
Nice 🥃
Price point is stupid on these. I wouldn’t pay 10,000$ for it 😅
Rolex should offer all watches in all metals
Has the elegance of a JLC Master Ultra Thin but the case is already closed with the Calatrava. This one is for die hard Rolex freaks. Can’t knock the piece however, it’s a gorgeous looking watch.
I think I prefer the JLC master ultrathin (especially the moonphase). But the crown logo of Rolex is really nice though on a simple dial of a dress watch.
@@crimclay1077 I seriously considered the MUT Moon a while ago at Six. Time passed. Now they want Eleven for it. Good luck selling at eleven JLC! lol!
@@bobbydazzler1780yes their price increases have been really wild is exactly why I didn’t pull the trigger on that or the reverso yet. Maybe second hand in some months I find something at a better price
Not sellini... chellini...
I think dress watches will be the new sports in 2024/25
It’s a great watch but is it $20K great?
Not picking on you mate, you release good content.
Why the red string on the wrist? Is that a popular thing in Miami?
Very nice rolex,personaly i prefer big seconds not little,too small and quite animation in the watch,i can not have a watch without seconds,will be a boring and without life watch for me
Rather go vintage datejust on leather strap no?
I don't think it comes in rose
che-leeni , think Italian or Argentine.
Save few more pennies and get the Patek. No brainer.
£12,000 more " pennies"??
I like the Cellini better
I'm not a fan of the 1908. The name, indices, or the hands. IMHO VC punches much higher.
Matt dial looks cheap.
how can you speak of 1908 and not cellini moonphase they discontinued, this one has nothing on the cellini moonphase seriously so dissapointed of rolex
1908 is too too bland comparing to PP Calatrava dominating dress watch or AP Code for complication reference. However, I get that there is no reason for Rolex to make most of us exciting in design or technical advancement. Just the name Rolex/ Heritage/ Resale value, many folks here would be fine.
Rolex is simply no dress watch in my book. As crazy as a hypothetical Patek diver. No go. That Rolex does not even come close to the JLC Ultra Thin.
For a dress nothing like a Patek for a bit more. This sucks brah.
Dress watches are gonna be in style this year. A couple years ago it was green dials, this year it’s dress watches. Trust me.
If you want a stylish dress watch....avoid Rolex
Code 11:69
suBscribe!!!
Don’t buy this watch the price is too high. Save up for a Calatrava instead.
Eric.. Come on... That watch is hoooorrible. Looks so outdated
1:49 - “IT SUCKS!”
Patek copycat
1st
Breguet hands. I rather get a Breguet traditional. Much more interesting watch. 1908 looks boring
I disagree i'm not into it
Everything is fake
