@@Wa-wk6qk I see this asked a lot too. Personally, I don’t think wrist size matters as much as hand size. Look at Tupac or snoop from the 90’s. Those dudes made the 36mm look like a a kids fossil watch
My first Rolex was the 36 gold day date. Still love it but hardly ever wear it. If I do only under a shirt. Nearly got me in trouble a couple of times. It's getting harder and harder to enjoy our watches and cars. As the song goes it's a mad world.
I see you bought a Swatch gran prix too, here in Italy since Daniele Pradé - Ac Fiorentina football team manager - wore it the price literally skyrocked to 1000€! PS. Oh I see you presented it in the video 😅
Buying a solid gold Rolex is a no brainer considering how much stainless steel sports watches are selling for on the grey market. The stretch isn’t bad on that one at all. I wouldn’t mind a onyx dial DD I saw a Russian one recently and was blown away.
100% agreed Tom, watches nowadays are getting enormous. The day I got a 37mm Seiko 5 I ended up wearing it everyday instead of my other 40mm+ "nicer" watches.
What a gem ... I'm not much of a gold guy but I do lust for a gold Day-Date. Such an icon...36mm is by far the one to get when it comes to the Day-Date, pure class. Hope to pick up a Day-Date for a milestone birthday down the road, maybe my 40th or 50th.
@@georgeb7641 no, it’s good grammar to separate a name with a comma, George B. For example: if I were to write, “George B, is it right to separate a name with a comma in a sentence?” Or: “George B is it right to separate a name, etc... “... the former scans better and the latter runs off and as a result, “is” runs the risk of being interpreted as a doing verb rather than the onset of a question.
I prefer these older DD much more than the newer ones. They lack the blingy character of the new one because of the brushed case. However I love the DD40 in white gold with the striped silver dial or even the diamond/meteorite dial.
Your Daydate is a beauty Tom. So simple, so classy. I much prefer the simple classic watches over the huge faced more modern styles. I've always preferred watches with smaller faces. Oh... And the Swatch is mega cool 😎
I think 36mm is the sweet spot, gives an opportunity to show the case''s ergonomics...and btw it wears well also on your muscular arms therefore can fit anyone.
Nice purchase..I'm looking to pick one up soon the ref 18238. You can make another video with this watch going through the variations on the references 1803 18038 and 18238.
Vintage Day Dates are a bargain atm i picked up a 18238 full set for near half the price it sold for in 89. Consider inflation of almost 200% since then and more to come, add the Gold content plus the fact you have one the most famous and stylish Rolex on the wrist its a no brainer. Snap em up while you can!
Rolex are just quality. I would like to see you and Producer Michael together talking watches and cars. So glad you are remembering the NHS at the end as I think some are starting to forget how brilliant they have been putting their own lives at risk for us. Looking forward to more TGE, the more the better🎥👌
Have A DD40 that I am in love with, but had a mint 1998 36MM president with white roman dial that partially funded my 40mm, served me well for 10 years & it will forever be a classic, enjoy your new champagne bro !
You mention they are now making the 40mm, they are STILL making the 36mm too! Kind of a reissue I guess. Personally, I have a silver dial 1989 and I agree it's the best bargain watch today!
that's a stylish watch winder and the Rolex is in very good condition for the year it was made, and it has no crown guard. I think the swatch watch looks really cool I tried to see if I could buy it but its not coming up is that the right details for the watch?
Congrats, enjoy it! I can't see it without thinking about Tony Soprano, you need to smoke a cigar and dip your feet in the pool after a plate of ziti with that watch on ; ) !
this has been a prime buying opportunity for markets on the secondary market. I was lucky to snag a yachtmaster 16622 for 5.6k, and now the price has jumped up to 7k+
I wish rolex brings back that old school box to package their new model! Looks like that box is a better build, compared to their modern plastic looking box!
The gold value per gram exceeds the current cost of the watch...I’m sure it’ll catch up soon but for now it’s a good idea to buy vintage 36mm. Awesome video!
Just curious so I found a 36mm 1979 day date yellow gold 18k Rolex bracelet bot stretched in great condition used. are those really good days of watch building ? And would that be considered vintage? I’m looking into these Rolex watches I prefer gold an quality over diamonds being drilled into it
Outstanding choice, like the gold shine very much so TGE TV, congratulations! Now the vintage RayBans (Shade Talk!), pair of classic Chukka's and you are off to the races in your 912 later this year!
Nice watch Tom! Really like the flashier watches in a smaller size (I personally also have quite small wrists so I know what you are talking about 😅). Also, thank you for the warm, nice and positive words in the end of the video!
They produced a 41mm version back in 2007-10 and obviously have the 40mm now. The 1mm difference doesn't sound like much, but it does when you wear it.
Love this video TGE watched it 3 times! I am in the market for a vintage Rolex. Weighing up a vintage DD or a Milgauss CERN dial (Ref 1019), any suggestions or advice?
Unfortunately that isn’t the original box Tom. Back when yours was produced it would have had a much larger brown leather box with a buckle on the lid. Lovely classic watch design. Enjoy.
Yes all Day Dates had a brown leather box or a rosewood box with brass banding. The green box that you have was for the more standard Datejusts and stainless sports Rolex.
I’ve just been looking at these and become obsessed over the last week. Bruno famously has a red face one I think. White face, Roman Numerals, newer style clasp. Done! Would you trade a James Cameron in for one?
I just inherited a 40mm two tone yellow gold yachtmaster the 16623 with white face and black indices from my father! I love it and you have some great watches as well!!!! my color variation is now discontinued so I'm hoping the value skyrockets in the future

Hey but what is your wrist size?

Love this comment 💜💜
it was dubbed the presidential because of president Johnson wearing it
Gio, Johnson did have a Rolex but later. The Day Date was launched in 1956 and Rolex gave the then President Dwight D. Eisenhower one as a gift.
Except grammatically nobody in the real watch world calls it “presidential”! To say that does not make sense, its called president!

Any advice on the best places to look for vintage DD's SFB? I am getting into watch collecting and these are at the top of my list.
What a piece, one of my all time favourites, simply because it was worn by Tony in The Sopranos, my favourite character and tv show. Top choice mate👍
the days of the 36 has left us. The 40 is better in every way

I love the watch. Timeless classic!
🤌🤌🤌
36mm is the Perfect one ...2pac was one of the first stars to rock dis .
Where's his watch now ?

Since I'm an e-peasant my watch is on an Android phone. Woe is me, spare some change gov'ner?
Incredible what a beautiful watch! Your passion for watches is amazing! I love listening and watching!

It’s funny how in the UK people are worried about getting robbed with knives. In America, we’re worried about getting robbed with guns.

Texas Timex lovely FU watch
Watch talks = 💰

This chronext quiet expensive compared to Chrono24, anyone correct me if im wrong.

yeah nah my gold casio has a bit of cubic zirconia, ill have a click though, top stuff.
Love watch talk, more of this captain. Day Day just class lad. As always stay safe
Great piece. Love the DD. You’ll need a platinum ice blue dial from the 2000’s.
You should make a vid about your rare supreme peices.
Matty Furious nah. Watches is the Facebook of clothing these days. Got ruined by rich orientals buying it up with dads money.
Is this the 18238 I assume so by age and price
Sell me your watch haha
Wear it in good health congrats 🥳✌️
Cash is that lad, very jealous!
The guy is a cash magnet 🧲 Respektos on the piece.
Love this watch. Gave it a present later now regret it. Will buy if I locate one.
If you're getting into small, vintage watches, I've got a 1940 Rolex I'd sell you. 28mm. But, it's not a sports watch, it's a pilot's watch
Crisps artist please?
Been saving for a reference 1803 with full box and papers classic Rolex’s are just so rich!! Nice purchase!!
Beautiful..that is the best one. 36mm dj with green dial and diamonds is also a beauty.
Nice time piece that I dont mind the smaller examples i like vintage stuff as well.Id be interested on your take on Grand Seiko
Looks sophisticated and classy. Doesn't need to be big.
My dream watch, 2022 is the date set for the watch goal, I’m jealous Tom but in a good way, nice shout on this
how much did u pay for it
Looks epic 👌🏻 such an iconic design and better in 36mm imo, diamond dial is really cool too, good buy 👍🏻
They produced a 41mm version back in 2007-10 and obviously have the 40mm now. The 1mm difference doesn't sound like much, but it does when you wear it.
Don't think I'd pull it off but yeah its fucking lovely man 👍
Very nice video. I think that it would be interesting if you get an everyday watch for less than 1000.
paul walker ?
Beautiful daydate man. Looks great on you.
Just bought mine, cant wait for it to arrive!!

Agree with you Tom a Gold 36mm DD is the Perfect Size, Lovely Watch ❤
Love it I'm saving for day date but a black dial absolute baller piece mate. However that swatch I love that

Wow Lad, that's a lovely lump of gold for the price. Mate of mine has a day/date same as yours. Just had the black dial fitted. Looks cash!!
I have the 41 mm presidential’s day,date,They only made those for a few years, mine basically in the box, it will be a collectible one day
James Hunt vibes 🏎 💨
Yes lad this is what we need, more watch content to break things up from cars all the time.
