Buying my first ROLEX!
Ойын-сауық
In this episode join me buying my first Rolex watch! It's been a goal of mine for the past two years to own a Rolex and after seeing a custom Rolex Submariner in my brand colours at Essential Watches, I just couldn't say no.
If you're looking for a used luxury watch, make sure to give Seth at Essential Watches a call:

There's so many comments here to reply to, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the support! I know a modified Rolex isn't to everyone's liking, but I've modified every single car I've owned so why wouldn't I make sure my first Rolex was modified too?! Love it or hate it, I appreciate the support and I'm so excited to grow this channel and bring you more fire content in 2021!! Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

Modded Rolex won’t hold value anywhere to the level he’s implying even if the first owner took the hit. Selling this will require someone wanting it as bad as you and that’s harder than you think.

Good for him buying something that suits his personality. Too many people buy the same watch.
Congratulations, man!! That's a huge milestone! I can't wait until I make it there myself!
Cool video Adam. The one when you got the Panerai for your birthday was probably my favorite watch related video ever. This was a really cool little sequel, you also got your first Rolex. Especially the moment when you also tried on the Deep Sea and it was like , yes you know you made the right choice with the Sub.

That's why you have to look for the right AD, or else you're screwed.

Congrats mate on your first Rolex. I am a big watch enthusiast and have a small collection myself. However, I feel like you should have bought the factory piece, especially for your first Rolex. The attention to detail, the polishing, the factory dial with 18k applied white gold markers and hands, trust me it’s a work of art by Rolex. However, the after market dial/bracelet is beautiful but just not the same!
Really happy for you man! Can tell how much it means to you. Keep smiling bro and keep up the hard work. Much love from Dudley in the UK 👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations Adam! So dope to see you’re accomplishing goals you set years ago!

@@iOSKrys I remember when Rolex first came out with the ceramic bezel inserts and I was thinking to myself, “ceramic? That shits going to scratch and break like crazy.” Turns out it’s not typical ceramic like you would think of. It’s an ultra high-tech form of ceramic made from scratch by Rolex and it’s virtually indestructible unless you like take a hammer to it and purposefully try to destroy it. Otherwise it is unequivocally unmatched in its strength and robustness. I have a few myself and the ceramic bezel is the only part of the watch, along with the crystal, that doesn’t have a scratch on it.

@@michaelfleming8490 Nice to hear from your experience. I only came along the ceramics topic during my studying and thats just a typical characteristic of ceramic material in general. Definitely Rolex made sure to test their watches and choose/create a durable ceramic. I like the look of the dark side of the moon watch because it’s so understated. In Germany there is a very strong social envy so it’s nice to not attract more attention than you need to. People don’t think too well of you if you drive a fancy car or wear a flashy watch.
