    Many thanks to James Dowling for the interview. That was really a very inspiring and fascinating talk. This is a million times better than all this other UA-cam nonsense. Apart from Paul and Spencer, of course, who I always enjoy listening to.

    Greetings from Southend Paul.
    Enjoyed the talk immensely, nice to see real enthusiasts talking!
    Can confirm the Daytona story.
    An older guy at my Bowls Club has a 6263. He was a bit of a lad when younger , and his dad promised him a Rolex if he finished his Ford Apprenticeship at Dagenham. He went to Southend Rolex in high street(long gone) the cheapest watch watch was the Daytona. Was in the back storeroom unloved, he was not impressed with it at the time!
    He wear it all the time, even seen him putting in a new row of fences wearing it!
    Love the new style vids.

    James was a wonderful guest. He’s probably forgotten more about Rolex than most people will ever know. Most people today won’t have a care for Rolex’s rich history pre ceramic and sapphire. It’s fascinating to visit places like Burlington Arcade in London and see very early examples of Rolex in weird and wonderful co figurations completely different from the similar looking Rolex product lines today. What a wealth of experience on tonight’s panel! Lovely stuff. A cool episode would be to get into Burlington and get some ancient old Rolex in hand.

    In the early 80s i was in Belgium and come across a second hand shop and in the window they had a ladies Rolex 18ct gold 1950s pos 1940s and purchased it when i returned to London i took it to Rolex in Green st Mayfair service centre I showed it to an elderly chap and asked for an estimate for a complete renovation he looked at it and said it was a fake. I took it home and put it in my scrap precious metal box and forgot about it for many years until one day i showed it to a friend of mine that was into Rolex watches he opened the back and said if it was fake he would be very surprised and put me in touch with his friend who worked for Rolex service in Bexley and he confirmed it was real i left it with him and on the side he completely renovated it the watch came back as new.

    Oisin O Malley was just talking shit about you on his stream. Apparently he doesn't like how you are sticking up for the indigenous British and getting views because of it.
    I called him out on stream, saying that you are getting views because you are telling the truth about what is going on in the UK. He answered my comment directly, gave a vague non-answer, and skirted around the subject.

    Yes Rolex Techinacn is old school, l believe in this modern era are rolex using fitters to simply exchange parts. And simply replace with new parts. Not quite sure on a 21/22 ⌚in Rolex warranty , when a service is eventually required what's the deal with a replacement, service glass being returned to the customer with a (S) at the 6 o'clock position as aposed to the rolex symbol Lazared on to crystal glass. What is this about and in your opinion does this interfere with authenticity in your opinion Mr P and Mr D. Stream DQ

    Hey Paul, I was looking at your friends website. Apologies I forget his name. The air guns surplus store in Crawley. Anyway I was looking at the website on my iPad and I’ve found some of the menus, sections don’t work/wont open. For instance I clicked on air guns, went down to to the bottom to air gun accessories and it just won’t open, also various air guns won’t open from the wider list of air guns if that makes sense. I know obviously you can’t do anything about it, but didn’t know if you might be able to feedback to him my findings. Before you featured him and he’s business on your channel here I had no idea he’s store existed. I always thought c h Weston’s was our only specialist air gun shop here in the south laines. But yea your great, he and he’s store looks great!. I’m guessing it might be a problem on iPad on the website not opening some tabs!.
