    I feel like people forget how comfortable a smaller watch can truly be. Sure, some 40-44mm watches are comfortable, but in the end, smaller is usually more comfy. 34-36 is in that space, and this is a great example!

Lucky girl! After these years I'm thinking about a Smith's - either a PRS-25 or the Everest to scratch the old Explorer itch.

    I like my Citizen Eco-Drive world time (BX1000) which is a well rounded watch with sapphire crystal, perpetual calendar, multiple time zone support, quick daylight savings adjustment. It has been the most `hands-off` watch I have owned since it is always ready to go and does not need much intervention. Other than that I Use my Tissot PR100 chronometer with 80 hr power reserve, which serves as an excellent weekday automatic. Apart from the cost certification, which yields great accuracy, and 80 hr power reserve, the PR100 is 100m WR without a screw down crown. I really like that aspect because there is no risk of stripping the crown threads.

    My grandfather passed down to me his Submariner 116610, he also had a GMT 16750 Pepsi that was left to my grandmother to decide what to do with. She sold it to finish paying off their house. Anyways, till the day he died he wore both of those watches in almost any situation you could think of. Whether it was landscaping, mowing the lawn, fixing the sink, rebuilding his transmission in his Thunderbird or even working in the wood shop he had one of the two slapped on his wrist. He was a Vietnam vet that wore a Sub 1680 over there and wore it everywhere in every situation. He told me that Rolex’s were originally made to be tool watches. Watches that can take a beating and serve a purpose. Only since the 2000’s Rolexes are what he called “Rich boy toys” which upset him because they weren’t made with that idea in mind. Outside of instances where I know I can truly hurt the watch from just common sense, I also wear the Sub wherever I can.

They have some great models! I have had only one Rolex. I bought it used from an acquaintance. He told me who had serviced it, so I took it there when the watch developed problems. They worked on it twice at not charge. It quit running afpgain, so I took it back. The watch maker couldn’t believe it was having problems again. Anyway...I asked what he would give me in trade toward an Omega Planet Ocean he was wearing. He gave he the Omega and a check fir $1,800.00. The trade-in value he gave me was more than I paid for the watch. It was a once in a lifetime deal! I ended up far happier!

    I know this an old video but recently picked up a 1960's 1500 and remembered this video. I have been wearing my 1016 (bought NOS in 1990) almost 24/7. Bracelet stretch to prove it! the 1016 fits great on my wrist which is on the smaller side. But i have to say the 34mm of the 1500 seems even more perfect for me as i still lead an active lifestyle for being 1 year away from 60. I have yet to get it serviced but once done i will have no issue wearing it any wear i would a GShock. Sapphire has nothing over the pair of Acrylic & Polywatch. My 1500 has alpha hands which are flat and have no "tail". I find the stick hands with their slight angle and size sometimes get lost in the silver dial. The flat Alpha hands are legible from all angles (There is of course no comparison to the legibility of the 1016 .. buts comes close ... as an aside i think that's what people don't seem to get on the new Explorer's.. the size of the numerals and hour markers are larger than the hands which draw your eyes to them before the hands .. which are the first things you should see as with the 1016)). Once serviced the 1500 it will likely become my new 24/7 and save the 1016 for special occasions to celebrate its years of service. Needless to say these older Rolexes stand the test of time and you are bang on with regards to their accuracy and reliability. Finally, I have covered the ears of the 1016 to say this but i do think the silver dial of the 1500 is a tad more versatile when changing straps...there is not one strap color or material that it does not suit. Great Videos!!

Dress, sports, casual, it's beautiful, tough, comfortable and extremely versatile. Like the SKX, it's discontinued, so the prices are going up. Amazon had it for $475.00 before going out of stock.

    I bought a Waltham Green sun-ray dial day date quartz wrist watch in 2007 at the flee market for $10.I wear it every time I go out.The only maintenance is a yearly battery charge.Every time I see a near luxury or luxury watch that I would like to buy I put the money towards my mortgage. Needless to say my mortgage is done and I still have the correct time day and date when ever I glanced at my wrist.

    @@dannyfierro1597 I have a GS and I like the brand more than Rolex. This Rolex model looks nice, but at that price point and the fact that it's plexiglass and it's an old vintage watch with an old mechanism that God knows how much it's service is going to cost, I think it's a bit risky to say the least.

    Got a Dan Henry as a gift and it has been on my wrist now for 2 months. Really dig this little micro brand. Otherwise my Citizen Skyhawk gets major time as I work with large dogs and they love to knock the hell out of my watch during training. One day my IWC went flying across the room. They fixed it so fast I applaud their customer service. But yes Dan Henry on the front lines and my Rolex’s has been hiding in the safe.

I did just order an Alpina Alpiner 4. I have an 8.5 inch wrist so it shouldn't look too big. I gotta say this stuff is addicting. The more I learn the more it pulls me in. There are many watches I would love to get. Gotta start with at least getting the first one though. Keep up the great channel my friend!

    I wore my Oyster Perpetual almost non stop for two years. I don’t wear it now simply because my wrist has got bigger and the watch needs an extra link. I just haven’t got round to getting one yet. My current everyday daily 24/7 is a Speedmaster. The Rolex was just brilliant, very accurate and quite unassuming. I loved it. When I get tired of the Speedie I will just get another link.

I know that getting a vintage would mean no wait list. But I'm not sure what improvements the newer versions would have, if any. By the time I save up enough for either, I'll probably have a better idea. Of course, I'm still learning, so any input from the community would be much appreciated.

    Rolex Datejust watches have a quick date set feature which allow for adjustment without having to cycle 24 hrs to change date. Cycle 24 hours then continue to 03:00 then BACK cycle to 22:00 then FORWARD cycle to 03:00 again - this should advance the date - REPEAT until correct date. BTW I own two: President DayDate and a 1977 5513 meters first Submariner; I don’t wear either watch- I wear a Parnis GMT, Seiko 5 field, Citizens Blue Angel, or a Timex Expedition. I’m tired of Rolex owners thinking that their watch is a status symbol, causing the prices to skyrocket. I’ll wear the President to special functions, the Sub sits unused. My dad purchase the President new in 1975, I purchased the Sub new in 1978 and have all docs and replaced parts.

The only difference is the dial, mine it's got that little "stripes" or stamped egdes. Only thing I don't like about it is, it doesn't glow in the dark, not even the hour or minute hands...:)
