    Thanks so much for your insight. I'm looking to buy my first Rolex as a daily wear and I'm deciding between a smooth Datejust with jubilee or oyster bracelet. Your assumption is a perfect match! Question though - does the Jubilee offer a wider range of bracelet fitment sizes due to the smaller link length? The only bad thing about my old Seamaster is the lack of micro adjust which is hell when my wrist swells, so I want my next watch to be comfortable.

    Excellent video. There's just one thing I'd like to metion. Rolex being elusive to a big chunk of watch lovers has kinda changed what people would likely pick. Its like if rhe AD calls and says I have a sub (date) and I wanted a no date version, chances are ill just take it because I'm not sure if ill get the one I want anytime in the near future. So my first Rolex was the SD 43, followed by the explorer 2 polar and I'm getting a GMT master II sprite tomorrow. I wanted a Batman but I picked the Sprite on the jubilee instead. But the video is spot on otherwise if people had to pick without being made to wait an eternity. Hoping I don't regret my decision of buying the sprite instead of the Batman. Thanks for the video!

    Gotta say, I waited until you got to the submariner lineup and I loved your review and you were spot on, you were absolutely spot on with respect to the black stallion no date and so glad it is one of your personal favourites because it is the one in my collection and it is such a phenomenal piece, I don’t know why I wasn’t subscribed earlier, but you are a gentleman to listen to and I do appreciate your insight

    I’ve got a no date sub and am looking for a second watch. Does the 39MM white dial OP fit for a dressy/weekend watch? The white Daytona is a grail but I can’t pull the trigger on that one just yet.

  • @Bisley1

    Personally I’d consider the white dial sportier, but presumably dressier than a Sub. It really depends on how dressy you want it to be. In the end it’s still a steel oyster bracelet watch and will be less dressy than a million other options on a leather strap. Still a nice watch though!

    That's is for me the biggest downside with Rolex and why I don't have one. Rolex make nice watches, but the brand and logo is so well known. Non watch people think straight away that you're doing very well in life (or that you are wearing a fake). Non watch people don't know about Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, A.Lange & Söhne and don't even recognize an Omega Speedmaster...they just think it's an old analogue watch and nothing special ;)

    Bought my first Rolex this past June… 2005 Bluesy and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady Date with Diamond bezel for my wife …then went on to buy the 2023 Datejust with Mint green dial fluted bezel and oyster bracelet in July. August was a 2017 Datejust in white gold with a Rhodium dial and Jubilee bracelet. September was a 2023 Yachtmaster, October was a 2010 Polar White Explorer II (which was the one I went to buy to begin with back in June), and November was a 2008 Milgauss with a white dial …. The one that started it all for me, as far as buying a Rolex was concerned, but I never pulled the trigger on buying …. Went a little bit ham this year 😳

Im a Penn State alumni and yankee fan so a blue sky is my perfect watch. What’s your best estimated wait time on a blue dj 41, fluted jubilee?
