    I have 4 Rotary Henley gmt's. Sapphire Crystal, Solid stainless steel. Ceramic bezels, 100m water resistant. Solid watches, Never let me down, And the finish is excellent!
    I also have 2 Rotary Oxford's again sapphire Crystal. Stainless Steel, water resistant, These however are on Genuine calf leather straps with a stainless steel buckle. I'm currently thinking about the Heritage range next.
    These Rotary Watches are extremely reliable Watches, And very stylish! Even their homages have a slight change in design that makes them unique! Most of these watches are around the £200 range.. Some a little more. But in my opinion, You get fantastic quality at an affordable price! Accurate time keeping, They use the Miyota movement, But some like the les originales range still use Swiss movements and are Swiss made. But the others like Henley, Oxford, Cambridge etc are made in the UK 🇬🇧 👍

    I have one of their 'elite' branded watches, which uses the excellent eta 2824 - 2 auto movement. Even though it's not the cosc grade, it has proved accurate and 100% reliable during the 26 years I've worn it.

    Thank you for the informative video. Do you know something about the brand Exactus? It's also an old swiss brand but unfortunately I couldn't find any information about it.

    The first watch I bought with my own money was a 1981 Rotary Quartz Day-Date, I was 15. Back then, "quartz" was cool, mechanical was old-fashioned. A fantastic watch I kept for around a decade, until it was stolen. I changed the original leather strap for a metal strap with a fantastic clasp, paying all in all OS 2000 (that's Austrian Schillings), $ 462 in 2021 US Dollars adjusted for inflation.

    I’m in my 60’s and only just acquired two 1960’s Rotary’s here in London UK, wouldn’t think they were top of the range, they are basic models.

    I can't seem to find information on a rotary night & day watch but I just saw you have a picture showing as your video is running with the man talking at the same time. I've had this watch for 12 years now. It was presented to me after 25 years+ working in a garage. Lovely looking watch but the 2 batteries don't last very long. I've rarely worn it as frightened of scratching it. I've been trying to find out how to fit new batteries in as when I sent it back to rotary they fixed the winder (which has came out again when putting to winter time in October) and put 2 new batteries in apparently cleaned it, I only have ever wore it about 10 times at Christmas works out evenings and so only worn it for about 30hours at the most, it still looks like brand new.

    Rotary has some nice watches but often their more sold models are those huge quartz models. Hopefully they will focus more on automatic movements with better sizes.

    Rotary certainly makes beautiful watches - key word being 'beautiful'. Regrettably, I have two of their midrange watches that worked fine only while they were under warranty. Once they were out of warranty, the watches just went crazy and eventually died.
    Two watches are enough lessons for me to keep my distance and admire Rotary watches from a safe distance.

    Rotary fits my all. I like to wear low end of high end if that makes sense. That middle class I can afford more and switch things up. I would be able to buy a rolex and then appear at work with dry bread for the next 2 years but I like cheese

    They have Japanese quartz movements in there new watches... I don’t support Swiss brands that do that

    Once over Rotary USED to make great watches.. Sadly the Rotary watch name has lost its way slightly ..
    You are better off buying a Seiko or a Citizen ..You are getting a much better watch for the same money.
    The Seiko 5 is a MUCH better timepiece.

    • @nintendokings

      Hm depends. Those Rortary Seven divers for under £200 have an NH35 and sapphire, and better specs than any Seiko in that price
