    I own this watch too even though I have many but the weight for this is just perfect and my wrist is addicted to it. Wear it with absolutely everything and everywhere even at pool and beach.. Cant wear anything else and I catch my self looking at the watch subconsciously even when I know the time🤣🤣

    if you bought this from the AD they owe you a steel daytona or gmt. don't let them shortchange you 1 30k gold watch earns a rare steel sports I've got both the ceramic and pre ceramic daytonas over the years after buying a gold sub and rose gold gmt

    nice camerawork, good video. I bought the sub blue solid gold after saving up for it for a long time. I love it. Wear it quite often, but I just love to even look at it to be honest. was always my dream watch. (I got it for £24,000 when list was £26,500 - price in the UK now is £28,650 and another price rise is due in 6-9 months taking it up to £30,000 (so an AD told me last week)). You can get deals on the gold rolex, but all this overpaying for the stainless steel ones sports rolex is just stupid, ive seen steel daytonas on ebay for not much less than I got the solid gold blue submariner. madness IMO. thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Hey WatchDisplay , thoughts on the older 16618 Steel bezel gold sub. I can only find the older 16618 online. Not sure on the older clasp. As well the sunburst on the older seems to have a bit more life in it. Thoughts?

    Nice watches! Love the channel! I'm in the market for a yellow gold Submariner Bluesey (126618LB). However, I'm also in the market for a yellow gold Day-Date 40 (228238). Can you please advise which bracelet would suffer from stretch the least? The presidential bracelet has the updated ceramic coated pin sleeves, which supposedly "eliminates" bracelet stretch. However, the Oyster bracelet with its solid links and solid glide-lock box clasp, screams more robustness and less chance of overall stretch?? Please advise. Thanks in advance. (You're the perfect person to ask, since you've owned both watches and WORE them!) 😃

    I have been purchasing a lot of watches lately and I just purchased this one, my third gold Rolex and three months. I have purchased a ton of stainless steel sports Rolex lately (including a few non-sports)...all from an AD. Just wanted to mix things up a bit! My other two are the everose olive green dial 60th anniversary Day-Date and the yellow gold emerald green dial Daytona. Can't decide which gold watch I like best, my yellow gold Daytona or this one.

    Ma786sai The twin laser etched markings on both lug backs are a St Bernard dogs head with its tongue out and a D stamped in the center of its head. The second stamp is what appears to be a Lady with twin weighing scales. That’s what my D series 2004 gold Ref 16618 had, clear as ever under a powerful loupe. In fact my 2005 solid gold Daytona Ref 116528 diamond dot black dial sports the very same laser etched symbols. God bless Cyrus

The yellow gold Daytona is selling way above retail in the grey market (as long as it has the emerald green dial). So you didn't own it for very long. Hopefully you at least broke even!

    I cannot get myself to pay asking price for PM watches, especially Rolexes. The cost to materials ratio is ridiculous. Melt all that PM down and the hunk of metal is only a few thousand more expensive than the stainless steel version, yet more than double or even triple for a watch with the same design and movement. Just my take on it though, and why I would not pull the trigger on the white or yellow gold versions. I stuck with the two tone versions as the best of both worlds.

    Rolex gold watches are a total ripoff. $40k for a watch that actually contains at best $10k of gold value. Rolex is a brand of no heurologic significance, it’s all just the 20th century marketing machine and hype. For the same $40k for this piece of garbage you could get a white gold Vacheron Constantine (big 3!) Patrimony for a dress watch and an Omega Seamaster 300M for a dive/daily wear watch and still have almost $20k left in your pocket (using current gray market prices). Screw Rolex and their marketing and market manipulation. Fools and their money are soon parted!
