- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- A collection of pre-ceramic and vintage Rolex stainless steel sports models has landed in our shop. Jack and Hendo sit down to unbox and discuss and admire each timepiece. Many of the 15 watches have complete factory stickers, meaning they are in the same condition as the day they were purchased. You don’t find a collection like this very often and we don’t know when or if we’ll have the pleasure of seeing another one quite like this. The watches include:

I really should have gone to bed but I just can’t switch this episode off, just incredible.
Could listen to Hendo wax lyrical about vintage watches for hours!
Appreciate the kind words Robert
To whoever the owner is of this collection, fair play for sticking by your principles and selling them because of Rolex going about their sales the wrong way 👍
What do you mean selling them because of Rolex going about sales wrong way?
I agree although so
Some with this collection probably had another copy of each of these is just a guess but yes very well done whoever this collector he is and hopefully he was rewarded handsomely for it
Think seller knows MKT dropping so sold
I could listen to Hendo talk all day about wist watches
Cheers Nick
Beautiful collection. A word for me that suits this collection perfectly is "curated". It's not a set of watches thrown together, it's a set of watches carefully and passionately curated by someone who followed what they loved and appreciated each and every piece. Clearly built over years and I can also understand and respect their reasons for selling now.
Well said!
What a treasure hunt. Loved seeing immaculate watches from the past. You guys never fail to entertain and enlighten 🥂
Absolutely brilliant this absolute star Ian
Knowledge is king.. By he knows his stuff.
Just stunning! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on these stunning pieces!
Thanks for tuning in
What an amazing collection, great video I could listen to Hendo all day
What a collection! Hendo always brings the treats 😍
One of the best collections to land in our shop
@@Watchtrader It really is! What time will the watches be online today?
Great video guys, love the vintage watches with hendo.
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed the video and that collection is unreal especially as most are fully stickered!! Some great long term investment watches there! Lovely that Hendo knows all the history of them also. Thanks for the video guys keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thanks for dropping a comment and letting us know 👊
sold at the top of the market well done !
Stunning collection! Great episode guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best episode yet 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hendo would be my guy there, and we’d have lots to talk about.
This is an unbelievable collection. Blown away.
Thanks for watching James
Reading all the comments below, I have to agree that this was a special episode with Jack and Hendo, the Rolex collection was something to admire, Hendo was in his element, and Jack with
his contribution made this something special to watch and enjoy, as well as us viewers learning quite a lot about the collection. 👍👍👍
Glad to keep you guys entertained, thanks for tuning in as always Bill
What a collection of watches…and what a knowledgeable fellow
Thank you Neil
One of the best videos you guys have done. Absolutely fantastic. So nice to see a collection like this and see what came with the watches when sold.
Thank you David
Congratulations to the seller. Not in it for the quick profit, but because they loved the watches. Glad they made out very well in the end though.
Thanks for watching!
Probably my favorite episode yet. What a legend Hendo is, love listening to him :-)
Thanks for tuning in Andy
Breathtaking collection, but I cannot help to think about how much these watches would be worth had he kept these in his family for another few decades.
This bearded man is my fav person on any watch show on YT
Great video as always, could listen to Hendo for hours!!
Thank you mate!
Another great Hendo episode! And what a collection! Lovely to hear the story behind the specific watches and the various models, really enjoyed watching
Glad you liked it James, thanks for tuning in
Fantastic channel lads, wish I found you guys sooner...
Welcome aboard!
Stunning collection guys, best content of the year by far!
Thanks for watching Enrico
Just fyi, the first "white" 1680 submariners arrived in 1975 in the shops, and the first "white" 1665 seadwellers arrived in 1977 in the shops, although you could still find in 1975 "red" submariners and in 1977 "double red" seadwellers produced these years. Also, the Zenith El Primero movement was launched in 1969. Many thanks for a great video!
Thank you for sharing that Philippe
Absolutely class episode, could listen to a hendo podcast all day, good work chaps
Thanks for tuning in Ryan
Just when I thought I was beginning to understand what Jack says, 🤯 😅
Very interesting video! Bravo 👏🏼
Thank you
I enjoy watching this guy his very knowledgeable..🙌🙌🙌
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic well done lads made my night!!
We appreciate the comment Stephen
Stunning collection lads, Thanks for the video, Brilliant
Our pleasure!
The original collector must have had a time machine to have bought those watches back in the day when the market was nothing like today and kept them unworn! Wow fair play, unreal investment!
A pleasure to see a collection this this. Thank you for tuning in Ian
Great episode and as nice little earner 👍
This was one of the most interesting watch videos i've ever seen. Hendo you are a class act mate, please don't pay any mind to negative comments. Legend.
Glad you enjoyed it Dick
Awesome video lads and an even better collection👍🏻
Cheers Luke
Got to say it lads but your definitely the best watch channel i follow quite a few other watch channels on hear and have visited there store but gotta say you guys come across gentlemen not wanna be gangsters keep up the good work hopefully have a deal with you this year as well.
Thank you for the kind words Brendan. Happy to have a deal any time 👊
Brilliant banter chaps…….wonder why ya collector guy never chose the older Sea Dweller….??
Thanks a lot Jerry. Just wasn’t his cup of tea
wow amazing
Thank you
All I can say to that is WOW that's some collection fair play to the fella , another great show lads
It's as if we found a forgotten safe at the Rolex factory... amazing to see pieces in this condition
Incredible collection
really love the 14060m two liner my grail sub :(
Mackems have always had the best taste in watches. George Daniels set the bar
Some beautiful watches there. I do love though how some people believe if a watch is still fully stickered it's classed as unworn. There's no such thing as an unworn watch if it's been tried on which pretty much every watch in the world has then its been worn. They've been kept in very good condition. Such a shame they've not been worn and enjoyed as their intended purpose was and they been kept in a safe all their life.
amazing those, loved it
Great video guys!!😃👍👍👌. Thanks for sharing!. What a great collection of watches.
Glad to hear it James
Jack, the reason why the Flat 4 changed after a year was because the contracted bezel manufacturer changed it. Back then Rolex was not vertically integrated as it is now. Same reason why dials suddenly change slightly. None of this happens now - which is a shame.
Thanks for sharing that Sam
Awsomne love the older stuff
It has the charm
I am late to the party watching as I am a new sub. but really enjoy this. Thanks Gents.
Welcome aboard!
I love hendo a proper knowledge box
Cheers Baz
Great episode, dream collection..❤
Argh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............ my era watches and they are beautiful ..................Great Video .
Glad you enjoyed it Larry
Wow, OMG what a magnificent collection. Perfect rainy day fund, safe hedge for inflation. I would not have a clue what the full collection sale price is, big but worth it. All the best to the new owner.
Glad you appreciate these watches like we do. Thanks for tuning in!
Fascinating stuff
That is the best collection I think I’ve ever seen👍
A rare find indeed
Brilliant content lads and I love the "shit end" at the shows there's always banter and laughter 👏👏👏
Haha cheers Tim!
What a collection
Glad you liked it Adam
Really enjoyed that video. What a great collection. The temptation to wear my watches is too great but I’d aspire to have as well rounded collection in 20 years time!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching
Great video guys, enjoyed it so much
Awesome! Thank you!
What a guy hendo is legend
Great video some serious watches with a hefty price - I guess around total for whole lot Must be around or over £450- £500k possible more 3 watches alone we’re about £80 k
No way.
@@chaosad4508 nope. He’s probably right
Would love to see a video of Hendos’ watch collection 🙌
Thanks for a Superb watch review one of the best 😊
Appreciate the support Stephen
Amazing stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@Watchtrader when the pieces are going live? I only noticed two SD's already up.
Great collection and show
Glad you enjoyed!
I thought I was watching Braveheart, then I realized oh it is a watch channel.
good stuff lads ⌚
Thanks Kade
If I could afford that collection I would buy the lot! Unbelievable!
Same!
Errr…you forgot the white dial Sky-dweller, so white dial is not unique only to the Daytona and Explorer II and DJ. Just saying…
I love Hendo. Seema a real gentleman. Class. But sometimes i wish he'd hurry the **** up.
Great vid and that collection is insane.
Haha thank you Paul
Goldsmiths do offer an insurance service on Rolex (was chatting to AD)
Hey Guys I am from Jeddah and that Rolex shop still there, in old Jeddah come and visit guys
Amazing, thanks for sharing
My full set immaculate🐸 F serial flat 4 will be going up for sale next week …..
What a collection, funny to think you could get a Rolex in Sunderland. Last time I was in that store was pawning some gold, I believe it's completely closed down now.
A piece of history!
what was it like when the transaction took place it must have been bitter sweet for him i'm guessing i mean it must have been a very difficult decision for him right? boy you guys struck gold here being able to buy back the entire collection wow
Enjoyable!
Thank you Shindi
He’s knowledge is unreal
Thank you Jamie
Great video boys
Cheers Josh
Wow great video would love a rolex explorer one 39mm one day 😀
Good choice!
What an amazing collection. I am in awe. Totally brilliant. Must be worth in the region of £175,000 in todays prices?
☝️
Goldsmiths have an insurance which you can take out up to 30 days after purchase.
Thanks for sharing
Early ones with the Flat 4 and late ones with the what?
I have a V serial number 2008-2009 are they late models or is it only the M serial number 2010 they are talking about? I've never taken it out of the box was bought NOS and fully stickered with all the paperwork...
Rehaut?
If namajunas vs esparza was a watch video
Absolutely fantastic episode, what a collection, absolute history, I commend the collector, actually, curator is more fitting. Hendo , would the white dial Zenith Daytona be the famous porcelain floating Daytona dial version? Oh and my guess for the lot. £210,000
The white dial Daytona is a porcelain dial but unfortunately not the holy grail of a floating 4. Thanks for tuning in!
@@Watchtrader thanks so much, still, the porcelain whatever version is a stunner!
Is there any of this true treasures available. I Love Hendo’s content
They should be going online today
Out of interest would these watches need to be serviced if they were going to be worn as the oils etc would be so old?
These watches are best suited to a collection. However, whether someone wears the watch or not is their choice. In that case it would be a good idea to have a watchmaker look at the movement to check the gaskets and lubricants before regular wear.
What is the price for all?
Hi Logan, you can check the website or give us a call. Some of the pieces have already gone. Thanks for watching
are these for sale?
Yes, they should be going online today
The door beep is so annoying
Would have been nice if you had say the value now
The full collection would be north of 300. Pieces should be going online today
How much is hendo worth unstickered ? 🥴
He’s a piece unique, POA
Searching your website for prices and can't find any?
Wow wow wow, what a collection and a great episode 👏 🙌 😍
Can you tell us the prices please, would love to know!!
Thank you
Hi, the watches should be going online today. Thanks for watching
Watch historian moonlighting as a UA-cam channel cameraman. 👍
Haha 😉
Hi mate can I have your number regarding purchasing a few of these models?
Hi, you can find our contact details on our website, thank you
I’ve tried to buy a new Rolex from my Goldsmith dealer but nothing. I have three Rolex watches and sold the lot for a nice profit. Rolex AD make me so angry. You spend an hour with them going through suitability etc and get put on a list. Fuck um, I say. Last watch o brought was the Grand Seiko Shunbun spring cherry. Fantastic watch
@@sunilmasson3807 that is true. I’ve had Rolex for many years now along with various Omega watches. I’ll stick with my Omega watches and my GS.
You can't build a collection like this buying watches from the AD at Retail price anymore. The collector was lucky enough to be buying watches when you could try them on and have a choice of what watch you wanted and also buy with a discount.
Am surprised he never had a GMT master with all three bezel inserts like you used to be able get and you had the option of changing the insert yourself
We appreciate the history, thanks for watching
Flat 4, not Fat 4 Hendo
Wow just wow… lots of talk of the bubble about to burst, which tells me the owner knows more than most. If only I had the money to buy one of those 70 subs 💭
The bubble bursting wouldn’t affect the price of these watches in the least.
We’re still buying and selling everyday. Some specific hyped models have experienced a correction, it’s healthy for the market
