@@TheRandomWatchDude I was aiming of the new Sky Dweller solid yellow on jubilee, but the price of $54k has gotten ridiculous. 7 years ago on 2017 the retail was $30k, I switched my mind to a solid gold Cartier Santos for $30k. The extra money is not worth it anymore imo.
@@frankv7068 I agree the price of some models is no longer worth it, especially some of the precious metal models. The prices are not realistic, and that goes for a lot of watches
I want this watch so bad. I talked to a dealer today and told him that I wanted this watch. He told me that he could get it for me but it would be 20 thousand above retail
I can't imagine how heavy that watch must be. I went the exact opposite direction and recently bought an Ocean X homage/clomage of the James Cameron Deep Sea in grade 5 Titanium. Sized for my wrist it came in at 146g versus 223g for the stainless steel version. I absolutely love it!
Hello, I really enjoyed your video! I'm also based in Auckland. To be honest, you can wear that watch anywhere, even at home. Over the years, I've managed to acquire some impressive pieces, although some of them rarely see the light of day. Nonetheless, I'd say experimenting with them at home brings me a lot of joy.
Hello to a fellow Aucklander! Gollum's cave (home) is definitely a great place to enjoy these watches, and to be honest. here in NZ there aren't many places I wouldn't be happy to wear a nice watch, apart from in the office at work where you might be judged!
Great looking watch. To me it’s a fun and exciting solid gold piece, more playful less serious vibes. I enjoy your videos. They are inspiring and informative. I appreciate your great blend of fact and opinion.
Thanks so much for this review. I currently have a 1994 18k solid gold submariner worth about 30k….I thought I was “bad to the bone” wearing it UNTIL I saw this video. MY GOSH!! If I owned this watch I would wear it 247-365….and I would never look at another watch ever , ever again….it’s that nice. I just don’t know if I could part with that kind of money for one watch….but I believe sometime in the future I will pull the trigger on it…..while it will hurt, I believe that every time I see it on my wrist it will give me a sense of satisfaction everyday of 5he rest of my life.
Super cool! It was great to see it "live". I've owned the DSSD in stainless and apart from the thickness, I loved it. This gold version is just such an oxymoron that it simply... works. I've gotten into precious metal this year, having picked up a few Panerai in red, white, and pink gold. They get a lot of wrist time. I wear them even when there is no occasion. I think the price tag would keep me from adding this to the watch box, but if the budget were there, who knows.
Hi Gerry my advice is to go and visit both, and register your interest with both. And keep following that up with occasional visits. If you want a GMT Master II my advice is to spend some money with them on something else first, as GMTs rarely end up on the wrists of first time buyers. Check out my video 'the waitlist explained' and good luck!
Did it make you interested again for the Deep Sea? Got the d-blue recently and as expected amazingly comfortable watch, definitely more comfortable than a marine master.
In any guise the deepsea is a great watch, one of the most technically advanced Rolex's ever made, I worked my but off and I own one, yeh second hand and 2012 but when I were it I feel proud of my hard work
Like you said, this is the type of watch that you buy to admire and wear at home. There's absolutely no way that I would feel safe walking around alone outside with that massive gold and blue Rolex. Would absolutely love to see and admire on another person wrist in real life!
I thought this was a joke when it was first announced. But I saw the very same watch in Partridges window recently and changed my mind. It’s obscene, hilarious and actually pretty cool 😎
wow... it is indeed a gollum watch and quite polarising, i own an 116660 normy DSSD and it is the rolex i wore the most (i'm an omega guy so planet ocean and ploprof gets most wrist time) but my daughter who doesn't like watches and showed your video to my daughter and loved it 😂... she told me she is a gold girl she realised seeing it... the reason why I love the DSSD and sub is the micro-adjustment glide-lock... are you a member of RBNZ? if so, I will subscribe 😂... if not please tell Jarrod I said hi ❤
Haha you should tell her to go and try it on at PJ! I'm going there tomorrow for a looksy. Yes I'm a member of RBNZ, and have been known to post the occasional wrist shot!
Hello yes it was already sold. Very likely the new owner is going to pick up from the airport so they get the 15% tax deduction when they leave the country with it, and wear it on holiday whilst at the roulette table in Las Vegas or something!
I like the two-tone GMTs a lot. Personally I would go with yellow gold as that's the only gold to have, in my opinion. But I am 50 so possibly more drawn to the classic styles that I grew up around, and cherry gold was not around!

Nice looking watch! Looks good on you. Probably a little too big for me, but I’ve got the smaller yg/blue Sub and really like it. As to when and where to wear a watch like this, well, whenever you please - at home, when meeting the wife for lunch, when watch shopping down Queen Street - whenever. So long - as you say - you’re wearing the watch and it’s not wearing you. I wear at least one of my nicer watches every day. I’m literally sitting in a hotel room alone right now watching TH-cam and wearing a platinum Daytona just because it makes me happy. I guess that might sound a bit Gollum-ish? Hah! Cheers!
I like to refer to it as gollum-like for a bit of fun, but honestly you rock that Daytona and enjoy ogling at it from every angle, and playing with it in the light!
Whow can you have so soon this rolex deepsea,i think for having it in france with my AD i will need to spent 250000$ this years in hugly diamonds rolex for having the honor to buy one
This watch is an obvious upgrade to the Bluesy and full gold submariner. Why would anyone by a gold C class Mercedes if they can get a gold E class Mercedes...
Gold or Steel still the same Movement HOWEVER which will make Rolex earn more??....and also moving Rolex to "Next Level" as they always wishing tooooooooooooo! ;)
Ive tried it on makes you feel good but then when seeing someone else wear it looks daft so its a nay for me cant imagine what folk will think of me when wearing one 😂😂😂 ... if you are a drug dealer or big rapper then maybe yeh it will suit but in general looks terrible😂
Sorry mate it looks like an Invicta 😂😂 you know i love your content mate and think your taste in watches is cool, I'm not with you on this one mark.sorry
I love it for all the wrong reasons precious! Yes it does look like an Invicta from more than 10 feet away! Ostentatious conspicuous wealth at its finest! And I cant afford it!
@aaronoldaker-d4i oh yes I'm sure it would spend most of its precious time in the safe. Only coming out occasionally for me to gaze at it lovingly and take wrist shots for my validation on social media, and then back into the safe it goes.
Rolex strike again. Lets go back in time a few weeks. Here there and everywhere we got 'What the bloody hell are Rolex thinking by releasing the Deepsea in all gold , what is the strategy behind this ??. Ha ha and away we go Gotcha again. I've said it many many times in that they are the Kings of marketing. Personaly its not for me , never been a fan of Gold watches although I have to say it does look stunning. Gold and Blue Explorer , please go away Mark I feel sick at the thought.
I always said I liked the Deepsea from the day it was released. I dont like all the other diamond dial Daytonas and the like. I think I'm just jealous as I can't afford any of them 😕
Wow that actually looks good, looks real good on wrist, your wrist.
Yep. This is my favorite Rolex they have ever made. Unreal.
Honestly, the watch looks magnificent.
I'm not really a fan of gold watches or 2 tone either, but I would say it looks better on your wrist than I expected. The blue makes it pop.
Thanks 😊 yes it's the blue that makes it happen on that watch
Now that’s a Rolex! Fits you good, but at 6’3 ft tall and larger wrist, it fits me better 💪🏽🤣
You need to buy it!

Watching your video. Confirmed i love it!
I do love the lack of the magnifier that the GoldSub Blue has, looks cleanier and sportier!!!
That blue is something else in the flesh!
It’s gross, beyond ostentatious, ridiculous and symbolic of the inequality in this world.
But we needs it too! 😈
yes and YES, precious!!!
Wear it at home. Special occasions / events. It only needs you. 😊
That's the truth!

Hi, looking for some advise. Wanting to buy a GMT Master ll . Which is the better AD in Auckland or can I register interest in both AD's . Gerry

Yes it does make me think that I could pull-off that Deepsea. Honestly I would love a JC like yours!
on the wrist it looks amazing
That watch will have a higher body count than Kim Kardashian by the time someone puts a ring on it.
I could see this watch appealing to the same crowd who loves the all gold Yachtmaster II.
be interesting to see who win win the the big boy stakes between this and a deep sea challenge
Imagine a white gold, white dial, 36mm Explorer… 😮💨
In any guise the deepsea is a great watch, one of the most technically advanced Rolex's ever made, I worked my but off and I own one, yeh second hand and 2012 but when I were it I feel proud of my hard work
@Danny1282 that's exactly the feeling that only a Rolex can give you - pride in your hard work. Congratulations and I take my hat off to you
i would be too worried about getting mugged each time i wore it
was it already sold ?
Hello yes it was already sold. Interestingly I was there last week, and they had another one on display.
I've been saying this all along. This is killer on a 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 in wrist

Over the top for sure, but it is surprisingly nice looking on the wrist. Sadly these days you'd lose your arm if you wore it out.
Yep a lot of people would beat you for that watch, for sure. It's a cave watch!

@@srbell67 No but you can pick it up from the airport duty free, once you've bought it at the AD in town - save 15%

I don’t think you need any special occasions to wear it? You wear it whenever you want, that’s what I would do… being an owner of a Deepsea
All I can say is wow. What's your opinion on the Two-tone GMT's? Would you go with the CHNR or GRNR?
I like the two-tone GMTs a lot. Personally I would go with yellow gold as that's the only gold to have, in my opinion. But I am 50 so possibly more drawn to the classic styles that I grew up around, and cherry gold was not around!
I think Rolex will struggle to sell it similar to the other full Gold sports models... it will trade below retail price for sure.
Possibly, although I think it will depend on how available they make it.
Boy are you wrong. Already trading around $80k USD
