    I wanted to update you on an issue affecting my UA-cam channel. Some of my videos have been taken down due to a targeted attack. I’m working closely with UA-cam to resolve this as quickly as possible and get the content back online.
    Your support and understanding during this time mean a lot to me. Thank you for sticking with me!

      I am seeing more & more watch UA-camrs like yourself experience the same. UA-cam is owned by Google, which brags about how safe the platform is for personal data, and yet cannot prevent this type of cyber attack. But Google is excellent at removing political points of view that do not align with their leftist regressive agenda. Just my humble observation.

    Really enjoy your honest opinions on these watches. Many UA-cam these days are too careful to not say negative about a watch they sell… the watches you like and dislike shows your personality and enjoyed watching this. And that’s the important thing, each of us with different personalities like different watches. Good job and keep it up!

    The best part is your honesty about giving a watch your personal pass. For those of us who don't have the chance to hold these lovely pieces in our hands daily it's fun to hear your personal thoughts. We can still absolutely understand why someone else might love and purchase one anyways.

  • @abandco.creative
    @abandco.creative Місяць тому

    I had the choice between a stainless steel Submariner and a Sea-Dweller Anniversary, and I chose the Sea-Dweller. Why?
    I preferred the additional detail on the bezel and the red lettering. The increased size gave it more presence on the wrist, and as a more specialist diver’s watch, its rarity makes it feel much more special. I think comments should reflect this, as many UA-camrs tend to jump on the bandwagon and choose the Submariner. While the Submariner is undoubtedly a great watch, its ubiquity makes the Sea-Dweller stand out even more to me.

    I was offered a Daytona two-tone last weekend. Normally I just pop in to see if a BLRO came in but after wearing the Daytona for 15 minutes I am a fan. The black stainless one looks like special watch. One day when the price comes down to MSRP on that one I will step up and wear it. I almost forgot I was wearing it because of the weight and size.

Queens Club & Wimbledon tennis I saw a few in the wild and got some nice compliments. The watch comes alive in the sunshine and always puts a smile on my face. I’ve been recently called over a Blue Face Yachtie and a Chocolate face TT Yachtie but these watches are not for me. Something about that name. Splits the crowd. Nice watches though. I’ve also got the mint dial DJ41 shown here and what a banger that watch is as a daily. I had the Wimbledon but that dial didn’t quite do it for me but I can see why some love it.

    New to the Rolex game here. I have a massive wrist and tried on the deep sea (blue and black face) and it fit perfectly. I want to understand the difficulties of wearing this for every occasion, since this will be my everyday watch. I do not mind the weight of it, however if you have another recommendation of a similar sized watch with some utility that would be amazing. Also, I plan on doing some scuba diving in the near future and do go on adventures often. Thank you!

I’m on the list for the black Sub Date (THE iconic Rolex IMO) and the long list for the Ghost with my lovely AD. Would love the Picachu or Paul Newman on OF, if only they did the previous reference but with the Glidelock! Good luck with getting your vids back online.

    Admittedly, sometimes you like a watch that I dislike, personally. Then, I think back, after a while and think "you know, Charlie was right". And I'm, usually set in my opinion.
    Clearly, although we have different opinions on everything, I attribute it to your experience with Rolex.
    Examples...Sub no date. Didn't like it, now, I think that it's the best choice.
    Explorer II, white dial. Who could dislike that?
    Now, "I'll pass".
    Moral the story?
    Listen to others. The ones with experience just might have a point.
