    So what's the box made from ? What type of suede is used? Is it durable ? When was the box manufactured ?

    • @thechronophile3511
      @thechronophile3511  7 років тому +10

      FirstPersonView 1. Wood (nothing special, probably MDF) 2. Faux Suede 3. Pretty durable, open and close it as many times as you want and it still feels just as firm as the first time. 4. Who knows. Rolex make almost 1 million watches a year... I'd like to say 2017 but honestly, it could've been anytime in the past few years, I imagine it's quicker to make the box than the watch...
      I feel like this could've been a joke but you deserve the information, because boxes are love, boxes are life x

    Surely you understand that we've all seen the damn box on a million videos. Most of us carefully put the Rolex box in a closet and never look at it again unless we sell the watch. So how about next time you talk about the watch?

    • @thechronophile3511
      @thechronophile3511  6 років тому

      Simon Bear MSRP: £27,650 - In terms of percentage off, I would say no less than 20% discount on the MSRP... a good deal would be anything below that, realistically, between £20k-21.5k

    I was a little disappointed in this review - could we have more time on the box next time please? For example it would have been nice to inspect each fold and glue line with macro. Far too long spent on the watch itself. (Just in case you haven't worked it out - I'm being slightly ironic here).

    • @thechronophile3511
      @thechronophile3511  6 років тому +1

      Dev Thapa apologies v late reply! The watch will always hold value... if not for anything else then simply due to the materials it’s made out of...
      What I’m saying is that white gold Day-Date’s are not very popular, and if we follow the rules of supply and demand then it doesn’t fair well on the market
      And if you buy at the retail price you may as well be throwing your money away, not that I’m advocating it but Grey Market prices are around £5-6k below RRP, brand new... after maybe a year then you’re looking at a price drop of another ~£1-2k price drop. So if it’s an investment watch you’re looking for, this isn’t the one!!!
