Bro. I don’t even know you but I’m so happy for you. Even I got a thrill out of watching this video. I felt like I was there buying it too and I don’t even like Rolex. 😂 It’s Omega for me but that’s what’s awesome about the watch community. The thrill of the watch. Congratulations.
LOL, you pretty much commented exactly what I was going to say. Watching this, I was all excited for this guy, and like you, I'm not a Rolex fan Grand Seiko, would be my grail.
Congratulations! Sorry you had a stressful experience with your flight so soon, but an experience you will never forget. Looks great and wear it in good health.
what milgauss vibe? datejust was introduced a decade before milgauss, and by far the more well known model. Strange to compare to a lesser known model.
@@whereRbearsTeethThe only Real difference is that it doesn’t have the orange lightning style seconds hand. This particular model has the same indices, hours/mins hands and overall look of the Milgauss in terms of size and bracelet. Keep in mind that not all modern Milgauss had the green tinted sapphire Crystal.
@@tngchinghwaThe Datejust he purchased is a modern iteration of the watch. And this modern version resembles the milgauss very similarly. The original datejust debut in 1945, Rolex released the datejust 2 in 2009. Which clearly took design cues in size and indices from the 2007 re-released Milgauss. The differences in his watch vs the milgauss are the lightning seconds hand, the colored indices and lack of date function. However the overall aesthetic is there.
Congrats!! What a cool story. Absolute beauty of a watch too. I love my Milgauss, my first and only Rolex atm. That seamaster pro on the blue band looks freaking beautiful too, I am going to totally get one for mine!!
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words! The Seamaster is on an Artem Strap. I will have a video review of it up soon! Mine's on the double folding buckle.
Great! You did it right. Personality, patience and professional demeanor. Congratulations. It’s among my favorite looks. Clean and classy. Oyster and smooth bezel. White dial. Under the radar CLASS. 👏
Massive congratulations on your NWA bro!! Great looking watch. The domed bezel and oyster bracelet works beautifully. White dial is unique and handsome eh haha.
I also have a Speedy! This Rolex is actually for my brother in law but still thank you! Stay tuned because I've got a couple new purchases that I've yet to post 😁
Three questions please: 1) How much did this Rolex cost you in USD? 2) How much was your savings compared to buying it in the US? 3) Did you pay any taxes when you returned back at the US airport Customs Dept? I ask because most duty free merchants in the world report your "expensive" purchase to your country's Customs Dept (in this case USA Customs).
I just arrived from Boston, tried to get one in the Rolex boutique over there, but it was impossible: no availability whatsoever and an ever expanding waitlist! Congratulations from Mexico!
I bought my Rolex during Covid and the complete transaction including sizing was done at the shopping mall parking lot. White glove service though and two gifts with my purchase as well. Worth every penny! Enjoy your timepiece 👌🏼
Damn that Yachtmaster looked big! Congratulations on your first ever Rolex, with box and papers. If it were me, I’d be wearing that thing right out of the store.
Congrats. Super happy for you. I hope to have this type of luck when traveling. The ones who come in ask 1 question don’t want to acknowledge the SA. These are people at the end of the day and I feel some really want to be talked to and not just about the product they sell every day.
Massive congrats. I remember Gassan at the airport very well during my yearly multi trips to Singapore. Do you know if Gassan had other models for sale on that day?
Thank you! I asked for a datejust and she asked if I liked the grey sunburts or the white dial that I ended up with. I think you need to be specific with what you want and go from there.
That's quite a present from Mr Rolex! As Rolex increase production to just over 2 million watches a year, I have heard that they are moving more of the stock towards the eastern markets. I think this is why they had unallocated stock. The stock situation is still tight in Europe. Plus the Rolex ADs here are just rude, possibly even nasty? I hope the Bucherer purchase will change the AD experience? Probably not!
Congratulations! That white dial looks great on many outfits specially during daytime occasions. I have one myself and I have to say "it doesn't get old"- Ive been enjoying it for over a year now. ' hope you enjoy yours for a long time too!
Agree. Just how I got mine. Be classy. Be real. I brought my AD wine at Christmas and stopped to chat when nearby. My Rolex was offered quickly during Covid drought.
Well done mate! I have 13 Rolex. You really can’t go wrong with these beautiful pieces.The yachmaster 40 with the blue dial is superb. Which I own. It’s a great daily wearer. I just picked up my second Daytona. I now have black and white dial ss Daytona,
Congrats, the Datejust looks amazing. Might be a silly question but are such high value items tax free when you purchase at Changi Airport and are there any import tax obgligations when you bring the watch back into Singapore after your trip? Cheers.
Hi, thank you for the kind words! Yes all items bought at the transit area are tax free. That includes luxury watches to handbags. When you return to Singapore, it is obligated by law to declare items over a certain value. Whether you decide to follow that or not is up to you, cheers!
Excellent, enjoy the watch. I’ve had many watches throughout the years and am thrilled a fellow watch enthusiast bought a Rolex. So very happy for you!🥳
I've gotten more wears out of the Seamaster. The WR, flexibility of the changing straps etc. The datejust leans more towards dressy with the polished bezel. Thank you for watching!
Congratulations, and wear it in good health. It is beautiful ! We were in a Rolex boutique in Las Vegas last month, they had a lot to display, nothing to sell. The IWC dealer called them the "Nolex" store.
Congratulations!! Wow!! Nice selection…I couldn’t have made such a quick decision. Looks like it worked out to be a great choice…even with the big rush.
Nice Reference 126300 Datejust 41mm. Why are people thinking it's a Rolex Milgauss (discontinued in 2023)??? Since the prices has tanked for Gray Market, and some models are selling under MSRP.
Good to see stock coming back. My local AD recently had a full yellow gold Submariner for sale on the window and I have also seen others such as full yellow gold Sky-Dweller and Oysterflex Sky-Dweller models for sale. Just two days ago I saw a DateJust with a mother of pearl dial for sale at an airport too.
Nice choice, that's probably the one I would have chosen too.. Never considered a white dial before, but it looks fantastic. I bet it feels amazing.. Idk you, but I'm happy for you!
I've always had a thing for white dials as seen with my first Omega. You can never go wrong with white! Appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching.
All stickers are to be removed to ensure that the watch is NOT resold as a new watch. If you wanted to sell it, you could get a premium price for that one little mistake on the sale’s person’s part.
Congrats, wear it in good health! Question about the AD, they told customers who asked that they didn't have any Rolexes for sale, but in reality they did? That's pretty interesting.....
These Rolex timepieces are very special. My late Dad had the Rolex Presidental Gold which was gifted to him in the mid 1960's which he then willed to me when he passed away a few years ago. He rarely wore it and wore Seiko watches everyday. I have it stored away in a Bank safety deposit box. I have always bought Seiko watches which I love.
Hi, thank you for the heartfelt story. The watches in itself is an amazing technical feat achieved over decades of watchmaking prowess. But when paired with stories like yours, it makes the watch that much more special. Thank you for watching!
It would be a terrific homage to your dad to wear it on special occasions. We don’t leave this life with any stored possessions. Only experiences and memories. It never bothered me to get my first Rolex scratch and I insured my watch through Hodinkee for a few hundred dollars. Yet, your watch so as you please! 🥂
Congrats!!! White dial is very fresh / cool. I too am waiting for a White Dial Day Date! Gassan never disappoints..... Wear your new watch in good health!
Bro. I don’t even know you but I’m so happy for you. Even I got a thrill out of watching this video. I felt like I was there buying it too and I don’t even like Rolex. 😂 It’s Omega for me but that’s what’s awesome about the watch community. The thrill of the watch. Congratulations.

Definitely did not expect my first Rolwx experience to be like this but, like you said, makes it unforgettable 😂
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on both getting married and the Rolex. It’s giving off strong Milgauss vibes, enjoy it in good health.
Appreciate the kind words. Love the Milgauss. Thank you for watching!

Beautiful watch. Thanks for sharing brother.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Rmbr to subscribe if you havent :)
Great job getting the watch!
Congrats on the watch :) In my opinion the Datejust 36 would have suited your wrist even better, but that's down to personal preference!
Thank you! I think 39 would be the sweet spot if it was available but I'll try the 36 next time
Nice watch, beautiful congratulations.
Congrats on your purchase. The Seamaster on the sports strap is really nice too.
Thank you! It's from Artem straps! I will have a video review of it up soon.
Huge congratulations!
Omega 300m, JLC Reverso and now a beautiful classic Rolex DJ. Great collection!
I also have a Speedy! This Rolex is actually for my brother in law but still thank you!
Stay tuned because I've got a couple new purchases that I've yet to post 😁
@@WatchYourFront_ oh ya, I forgot about the speedy! That’s a well rounded collection.
Maybe a GMT in there at some point?
@@Superdada Thank you! Either a GMT or a MoonPhase!
Congrats and enjoy !
I’ve just bought my Rolex yesterday for my Christmas present !
Congrats to you too!
@@WatchYourFront_ thank you !
Hey bro, always an experience for your 1st rolex. It's a beauty! More beautiful watches to come hopefully!
Thank you so much!
Three questions please:
1) How much did this Rolex cost you in USD?
2) How much was your savings compared to buying it in the US?
3) Did you pay any taxes when you returned back at the US airport Customs Dept?
I ask because most duty free merchants in the world report your "expensive" purchase to your country's Customs Dept (in this case USA Customs).
About 7k USD. By law you have to declare goods of a certain value. Whether you do or do not is up to you 😊
$7k seems a bit low. Is that MSRP?
@@petrolo72 yes
@@petrolo72no that’s correct, grey market is usually 2-3x price
I just arrived from Boston, tried to get one in the Rolex boutique over there, but it was impossible: no availability whatsoever and an ever expanding waitlist! Congratulations from Mexico!
Rolex boutique is harder. My best advice is try from the ADs like Gassan etc. Thank you for your well wishes!
Congrats on your purchase. It's a nice piece and model!
Thank you so much!
The whole video is so fun to watch🥰
I could tell that you and your wife have a beautiful relationship 😍😍
Congratulations on your purchase ✨✨

Looks like it worked out to be a great choice…even with the big rush.
The wifey approves so that's all that matters 😂

Thank you! Yes with the current watch market trend, I believe more pieces will be readily available.
Beautiful watch !!!
Beautiful choice ❤ That was my Dad's exact watch....he bought it sometime in the 50's. I was born in "63 & I will remember that design forever.

Just right place, right time. I believe with the current watch market, many will receive the call for their Rolex pieces. Thank you for watching!
Datejust are more common these days. No need for long wait times.
hopefully we will see some stock availability in my part of the world soon!
...still lengthy waits on most items here...

Yes I am well aware. But I bought this watch for my brother in-law so I have no intentions of re-selling from the start.
Wow your a hell of good brother in law buying a Rolex for him especially first time buying a Rolex.
Great find!
Thank you!
That is a lovely watch and I am excited for you. Some of the best experiences are the unexpected ones!
Those are the best ones!!! Thank you for your well wishes

Beautiful!
Nice watch. Is it grey dealer or an AD? The usually remove all stickers.
AD and yes they usually do but due to the nature of our rushed transaction, a few stickers was left unnoticed.
It’s a DateJust, why are people talking about the Milgauss? Great watch goes with most anything. Wear it in good health.
I assume it's because it looks similar to the white dial Milgauss.
Thank you for watching!
I’m wondering the same thing…
I’ve heard many similar last minute offers in airports I almost wonder if it’s a tactic. But congrats! Nice catch
Thanks for taking the effort to make this video, will check out this shop on my next trip!
I also love the omega, if want to sell let me know. haha!!
Good luck! The Omega I've passed down to my dad actually 😂

As of today if those are Singapore dollars it’s about $7.8k USD
