this is a timely video. i was working out at my Gold's" gym and noticed a young guy working out next to me with a yellow gold day-date. I struck up a conversation with him and he was schocked that someone knew what the watch. I told him I don't wear my steel sub to work out let alone a precious metal watch. He said he wasn't concerned and said watches were made to be wore.
After owning a gold and steel Datejust, I decided to buy a day date. I ended up getting white gold because it looks like steel. It was a great decision. I don’t worry as much as if it was yellow gold.
i start liking the two tone Rolex now. Mi idea about watch collecting is to acquire de ones that I can wear almost all days and situations, beacouse I like to enjoy my watches. The full yellow gold is awesome for special moments, but not very practical. Maybe in 20 years I will change opinion
Yellow gold rolex is beautiful but like you said, it can get you hurt or killed these days. I have a new steel GMT BLNR and I am paranoid wearing it out and about. I wear my steel AirKing without a care and not concerned about it being perfect and it has plenty of micro scratches. A white gold watch may help a bit. The gold value of a gold watch is far less than people think. 18K gold is only 3/4 solid anyway. I think I saw somewhere that the gold of an average gold rolex was around 20% of the weight. If you buy $35k worth of 24k gold, that is around 20 ounces of solid gold. So get a steel sport rolex and buy a one ounce gold coin to keep in your pocket. You will be happy and save a lot of money. Take the coin out and look at it from time to time.
I was wearing my Bluesy under my motorcycle jacket and it developed the same tiny scratches on the gold PCLs. So, I stopped wearing it when I rode my bike. I have taken it in the ocean many times though. If you feel unsure just send it to me and I'll put it through 5-6 years on my wrist like I have my Bluesy and I'll post a review of how I think it wears after that time. ;)
Great advice Marc. Personally I declined a Gold bluesy from the AD for the reasons you say, despite loving the piece. For the same total cost the AD supplied me the James Cameron,, Hulk, Sea Dweller 43 and Airking. For me the pleasure derived from those 4 watches outweighs that from the gold sub. Would like to know which slip covers you use Marc, sound really effective.
For me to be 100% comfortable wearing that watch as it really should, I’d have to be a millionaire. That’s why I stick to steel. Two-tone is as far as I'm willing to go, on an exception basis (TT Bluesy).
You brought up so very valid points. The one about watch spotters in restaurants is unsettling but very real. For me a bi metal Rolex would be as far as I know go with a Rolex. I'm already nervous enough out and about here in Atlanta with my new Steel Sub.
I will only wear a nice watch to a place where I know the people and feel comfortable otherwise it’s gonna be a Seiko 5, an Apple Watch or something like that.
I feel like part of the demand for gold is people are realizing why should they pay gold prices for stainless watches. Pretty limited amount of gold value in a Rolex vs cost.
If I lived in the us and carried a gun I would feel more comfortable wearing a gold Rolex. As I live in the uk I feel happier wearing steel sports Rolex. Also the insurance for the watches is a lot more reasonable.
Is there any harm done if an automatic stops (power runs down) during a day/date change? For example, a Seiko skx, which takes 5 hours to complete the whole day/date change.
Interesting topic , good vid mark. I have no trouble wearing my steel sports piece or 2 tone. Majority of people , average public don't know lot about watches. Being at the office few years ago , come across 100s of people only 3 knew what I was wearing , who commented. At same time depending where I go , need to stay alert and vigilant. Long sleeve to cover and avoid dark alley ways where's there's a group of people obviously avoid. Otherwise enjoy your timepiece
Marc, I have a BLNR and can't seem to wear it out anymore because worrying to lose it or it may attract bad people. What to do now? Not to mention that I won't be able to replace it if anything were to happen to it. It is impossible for the AD to sell me one again due to the hype. Am I missing out and over worrying about this whole thing? It's hard to wear a Rolex nowadays due to the hype and the pretentious image it projects.
These days I wear my only gold watch to funerals pretty much exclusively. Other than that, my most expensive watch is about $1200 and most of them are more like $500. I'd be afraid to wear that one anywhere really. Plus even if you survived the robbery and they reimbursed you what a new one would cost (but they wouldn't because they'd probably reimburse you for retail price) you probably couldn't even find another one.
I think that a solid gold Rolex Submariner is contradiction in terms; originally a ‘tool watch’, gold is not the most practical of materials for these.
I understand people being selectively suspicious when choosing their watches and in certain places, this may well be a wise thing to do but I wear my RM 035 02 where I like and have only ever been asked about it, by a handful of people. The Platona tends to get attention as does the Messidor but most people don't care what we wear, less even recognise what they are. Rolex have become a victim of their own success, as has Hublot and Audemars, allowing their sports models to be 'sported' by social media commentators, music celebrities and certain sport players. Of course, many of these people's fans aspire to be like them, mostly without the hard work, dedication and talent but it is the media that are to blame, for allowing these iconic figurines of success and wealth to be rubbed in their face and almost baiting society, to want them.
This info is really late. Depending on where you live, you can still get precious metal Rolex models that are highly sought-after from the AD excluding the Daytona model
in manhattan....a safe place.....a black man......very pleasant ....stopped me and offered me a gold yacht master..... the stuff he told me about his knowledge of rolex hi end was amazing .......he noticed my humble steel submariner....... a great union and discussion took place on the pavement outside my hotel.........so ....there are benefits of wearing good stuff on your wrist in new york.....sometime after i wondered if his rolex he was trying to sell me was a fake......................i never saw him again
Gold is a little bit in your face and brings unwanted attention, go for white gold , more understated but you still feel a million dollars In yourself.
@@damachine3 They both seem to have vanished. I’m not as worried about Marc because his videos are still up. I asked about The Rancher here because I cannot leave a comment on The Rancher’s channel as all his videos have been removed.
Mark , I found you looking up my watch , I have a stainless steel submariner Rolex I Think Its a Rep.. I Never have been a watch wearer .. I would rather pay my Bill's.... if you know of anyone intrested..was handed down to me as gift ..thanks
Some great comments Marc. Before a watch purchase ask yourself "Where would I wear this watch?" and "When and how often would I wear this watch?" these questions I guess could be relevant to all watches. Certainly with they are more important with luxury brands and certainly Rolex. I would now think twice if I were to wear a steel Rolex to a restaurant from your story, I wouldn't wear it down the pub either. While I love that gold bluesy of yours it would spend most of it's time in the safe, I still want one at at some point if I become fortunate enough to afford and justify it. Hold on to your watch Marc, it won't loose you money even if the times you get to enjoy it are fewer than you like. And keep those stickers on if you have concerns on scratching, it's your watch after all.
Just doesn't do it for me... too much bling for my taste. Totally agree that you are a BIG target wearing such a watch. I was told by a jeweler from London (I was wearing my Omega Planet Ocean) on a flight to Paris that I should not be wearing an expensive watch while traveling. She specifically told me that they (muggers) will wait outside a restaurant to steal your watch. By the way, you'd be lucky if they only rough you up.... I had a coworker mugged for his watch in France and they literally put him in the hospital. Be careful where you wear that one! Japan is/was the only place where I actually felt safe wearing a Rolex.
That is not a reason not to own something like this. I've been to places like the Philippines where you could get mugged just because you are white and people think you are rich. I wouldn't even get my Smart phone out in public in some areas. Luckily I live in a place where I can wear something like this without too much attention. If you live somewhere where you think its too dangerous then maybe you should move somewhere a bit safer.
LOL That was a year ago, I’m 6’3ft tall with giant wrist and tried the Daytona, it looked like a girl’s watch on me lol, the Submariner looked like my little brother’s watch, so I got the Sea Dweller 43mm red letter and the Sea Dweller 43mm Two Tone, also the Skydweller Blue 42mm as my dress watch, those are my sweet spot 👌🏽. I hope they come out with a solid gold James Cameron 44mm for me this year 🤤🙏🏽

Hey Marc, as long as the content is good the video quality is not that important and your quality is top. Cheers, keep it up!

Mark is a lucky man. Nice watch collection and hangs out with man’s best friends. What else could you want

The gold and blue together is a winning combo!
If I had that watch I would definitely sticker it the same as you have Marc.
Another great video Marc!
Now you are sucking up to Marc?
@@moreqdos7657 never suck any single man ever my friend
A great "f*CK you" watch. Every collection needs one.
That Sub is just beautiful Marc, I lusted after two tone subs but I think now that it just wouldn’t be enough.
I will only wear a nice watch to a place where I know the people and feel comfortable otherwise it’s gonna be a Seiko 5, an Apple Watch or something like that.

Agreed bazza top geeza
I live in Florida and I don't even need insurance. Imagine needing insurance and being afraid to go outside with your property. I feel for you guys.
Hi neighbor, from Burr Ridge, IL - Where can I buy the stickers? I actually have a full gold one myself with a black face.
Is there any harm done if an automatic stops (power runs down) during a day/date change? For example, a Seiko skx, which takes 5 hours to complete the whole day/date change.

Thanks for the honest review I know I would feel the same way.
What sticker protection do you use ?
If your last name has “gold” in it, then you need a gold watch. I’m good with my steel Pepsi though.
Antisemitic
@@moreqdos7657 don’t you dare. It is not and you know it.
The steel Pepsi can land you in trouble just as much as a gold Sub, careful where you wear it.
@@albertboulderwardthe3rd590 I was mugged 20 years ago for my Tag Heuer ... Been ultra careful ever since
Wearing mine right now. And my last name is gold!
Interesting content. Regards.
Beach Road Pattaya, you know the good life lol, I like Soi Bukhao too, and Insomnia bar, 2022 will be the year
Where did you get the stickers from?
You should buy what ever makes you happy. It's up to you how you enjoy it.

Beautiful watch!, I would follow your ideals for wearing it, just be careful & enjoy it when it’s safe to do so!
i rememeber last month walking downtown with my super duper gold one on my wrist.............my hand was always in my pocket...............simple
I think that a solid gold Rolex Submariner is contradiction in terms; originally a ‘tool watch’, gold is not the most practical of materials for these.
Any idea what is Tudor cooking? Saw the teaser today.
Wear it you can, but robbed you might get.
Thank you Yoda 🙏
@@marcgoldbergdogtrainer A day too late, but it works. :)
Gold Rolex Submariner ; is good to be paired with dress watch with complications and another steel stunner Royal Oak or steel Daytona.
I rather wear a Tudor 925 silver Black Bay 58. I rather save up for that and use it as an everyday watch, than a gold watch you have to worry about.
Just get the Smurf. It attracts less attention since it's white gold.
I wear my Rolex at home. The other one has been at the bank for a year. The Omegas get like 90 % of wrist time.
I understand people being selectively suspicious when choosing their watches and in certain places, this may well be a wise thing to do but I wear my RM 035 02 where I like and have only ever been asked about it, by a handful of people.
The Platona tends to get attention as does the Messidor but most people don't care what we wear, less even recognise what they are.

Marc, miss seeing your content man. Hope everything is well with you!
Agreed
Where can one get the stickers
This info is really late. Depending on where you live, you can still get precious metal Rolex models that are highly sought-after from the AD excluding the Daytona model

Marc and the Rancher have disappeared like the Timepiece Gentleman
Lol
gun-point happens in cities where guns aren't allowed. i carry a handgun, and there'd be a battle...
Sky D White Gold on leather strap and never looked back.
That gold is really nice and beautiful but I’m already planning to get the no date submariner next year. I just like versatility 😁
114060 was my 1st Rolex. Unbeatable.. great choice.
@@Classic_Vinyl_Only yea I’m thinking of going for that model or the newer version not sure yet but will see when the time comes
@@Will-gq3kt the no date is soooo clean. I do love mine. Be sure to let us know here how it goes 👍
@@Classic_Vinyl_Only oh definitely for sure Im currently saving up to get the new omega moonwatch first by the end of the year 😎can’t wait
Beautiful watch. Enjoy it. I wear my 40 mm day date every day.
Gold is a little bit in your face and brings unwanted attention, go for white gold , more understated but you still feel a million dollars In yourself.
Love it ! Beautiful watch ! Enjoy
Speaking of disappearing acts anyone know what happened to The Rancher?
You're asking about The Rancher on the channel of a guy who has disappeared himself? Where is Marc?

I wouldnt buy a watch that comes with so much baggage and risk. I wouldnt be able to enjoy it
white gold is best !

Go for two tone 🙌🏻
Very entertaining vid, Marc, thanks. I have no such problem as I cannot afford a gold watch. Well, maybe a beat up 1950s 14 carat Waltham.
Mark! Your very active be careful with it!!

WOW very kool great info. AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot keep up the great work
At this point he doesn't care the videos are too white.
Daytona looks better in gold than the Submariner
Nooooo!

Rawlecks, rawlecks, rawlecks
So why buy this watch. A lot of cons
Consider trading it in for an Omega Seamaster 300 with a malachite or lapis lazuli dial -- just as blingy but less fragile.
@Jordan Villar
Agreed. The lapis model is a ripoff compared to the 18K gold weight here.
This guy is typical vulgar new money evidenced by slip covering the gold Rolex too big for him.
