  • In this video I show off a very important watch to me, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 34mm(124200). This watch was purchased at a local AD almost a year ago.

    That was a very mature move to sell your first Rolex to help out your mom. In the end, watches are just things. Thanks for sharing your story!
    Also, I’m also a fan of smaller cases and I have an average wrist of 7.25 inches. I look at the 34mm OP’s as the compact version of a 36mm for enthusiasts with smaller wrist sizes haha. Although, I’m not opposed to wearing a 34mm myself 😬

    • @WatchesCanBeFun
      @WatchesCanBeFun  Місяць тому

      I agree. I can wear 36-40mm just fine, but long term I always find my way back to 34mm, just the most comfortable for me.

      Couldn’t agree more, but honestly I think that makes Rolex’s really cool. Add a date, you get the DateJust, add a bezel you get a Turnograph, add an extra hand you get the GMT Master. Etc. Then there’s the Cellini and idk what happened there.
