I’ve always loved big dive watches I used to dive years ago, and the fact that it was a record holder with affiliations to James Cameron just makes me want it even more !
You absolutely NAILED the person owning the Explorer II Polar Dial. That's my Rolex and I dont even take it off to clean a deer or scale a fish. Its to be WILD with me...not without me! Great video .
Amazing to hear mate, watches are there to be worn, especially a model as robust and reliable as the Explorer II! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the content, I really appreciate the support 🙌🏻💯
Glad you started with the Air-King. I picked mine up today! I’ve seen it in the window for sale at some ADs. I wanted something a little different but also something that I could wear as a daily since it has the brushed bracelet.
Congratulations on your purchase mate! It’s a great model isn’t it, so robust and a unique timepiece, it will make a great daily! Wear it and enjoy it 👌🏻💯
Pretty much nailed me with the Air King LOL, Maybe the least looking Rolex but with that green and yellow the most unique Rolex? Wears and looks far better in person than pictures or YT do it justice, fabulous and underrated piece in my humble opinion.
I love your channel and I live in the eastern US. I daily a 2006 stainless Daytona. It is very understated, never gets recognized and is extremely comfortable. In my opinion it is the best of the range for daily use.
Thanks so much for the support mate, I really appreciate it 🙌🏻 You’ve got such a stunning watch in your collection mate, such a subtle aesthetic and so versatile! Keep wearing it and enjoying it mate 👌🏻💯
I’m a sub date black dial, oyster bracelet, so the non date is a watch guy who is under the radar, so what does that make me haha. I’m def a watch guy, I am in sales which is a little cliche as a sub date is linked to sales guys I hear, I wanted it since I was 21 and at 40 after many years of a variation of watches, I finally got my dream piece. I like the date function because of needing to know the date on a daily basis. I am a watch guy, perhaps at times yeah I don’t mind being above the radar with that cyclops!
You’ve explained your reasoning for this watch perfectly mate! It’s amazing to hear you achieved your dream timepiece, that’s what it’s all about! Keep wearing it and enjoying it 🙌🏻💯
Couldn’t be more wrong about the Pepsis… Everyone plonker I’ve ever met, who has 0 interest in watches, and just want the “look at me I have a Rolex” experience wants a Pepsi or SS Daytona. Not many in production Rolex, if any, tells you someone is into horology.
That's because they are not easily flipped for a quick buck, so these gray market watch dealers are not interested. Milgauss is the only Rolex I actually like.
Great video Charlie as usual mate , as always you have some superb watches , it’s nice to hear your thoughts on the types of watch buyers out there , see you soon I hope 💥💥👍🏻
I have the Air King and love it for casual daily. I was going to get the Polar Explorer II, but when I tried it on, it just didn't feel like it fit my style. I'd love to get a Sprite, Pepsi, or Ghost and be 'one and done' and have that as my one watch for the next 10 years.
The Air King is a phenomenal daily option, so versatile 🙌🏻 You’d be so happy adding either of those models to your collection mate, everyone is so incredibly stunning! 👌🏻💯
Alternatively people where the watch (if they do wear it) because they like it and want to.. A lot however will try and procure due to trends and flexing…
Hi Charlie, I hope you and all your family team at LWC are keeping well and healthy & you are having a positive weekend wishing you a great productive week ahead filled with joy happiness kindness love and gratitude 🙏 kind regards
Whatever your views here, I enjoy the effort and content Charlie puts in. I dont see why people want to be seen .....to be so negative. Don't like it..... then don't watch it !!( pun not intended) Good work Charlie, keep up the education and entertainment.
Always amazes me how the Yacht Master is dismissed or forgotten. The 42 in yellow gold has such as stealth wealth capability. Clean, uncluttered face and yet to those that know watches can be identified so easily.
The Yacht Master is a fantastic model with some really popular options, the Oysterflex in white and yellow gold are top sellers for us! Such a stunning daily option 👌🏻💯
You don't have a Daytona. You don't even own a watch. You just spam comments to try to get desperate men to sub to your embarrassing prostitution channel.
Good morning Charlie, funny as usual. I wasn't at the university, but as a used truck dealer I bought my first submariner date at the age of 23...thats my cliche 😂during my career I've got some more of this watches and I like it, maybe I will give it to my two boys, when they are brave enough... If not I will sell it and buy me a ice cold beer. Cheerio from Germany
Aha amazing mate, I’m sure your boys would be delighted with the watches…but that ice cold beer sounds good! Thanks for the support mate, I really appreciate it 🙌🏻💯
Bro most people cannot even afford one, most buy the one they like and can afford. I would have a day date if I could afford it, but I’ll be buying a used date just 41 when the time comes
Some of the comments on here are hilarious obviously they aren’t customers of Charlie if you want your dream watch this should be your first port of call forget the AD’s they aren’t interested in selling you what you want they only want to sell you what they want. I have bought from AD’s since the mid 90’s but the only way I could get a Steel Daytona was going to the grey market, it was always my grail watch and will be with me forever, thank you Carlsberg the vids are a Sunday treat 👍🏻❤️
It’s such a timeless model isn’t it mate, there’s a reason it’s so incredibly sought after! You’ve got two stunning models in your collection, you’re very fortunate 🙌🏻👌🏻
@trinitythoughts it’s Sunday night and your negative waves are not welcome. Just enjoy the nice watches like the rest of us and let Charlie do his thing.
Can you give me your opinion on the Sky Dweller two-tone white dial, with jubilee bracelet? I get a lot of compliments on it - interested to know your thoughts. I know the stainless steel is more coveted.
Such a stunning timepiece, definitely less sought after, as are most two tone models when compared to the steel…I’ll be covering loads more models in a future episode mate, so for a more detailed analysis stay tuned…👌🏻🙌🏻
@@thehonestwatchdealer thank you mate! I know what you mean about the resale but I have this for long term wear so thank you for the compliment and I look forward to your new videos
Thanks for the support as always mate! They definitely know there watches…I’ll be covering many more models in a future upload, so stay tuned for a more detailed analysis 🙌🏻💯
If you like it we’d absolutely recommend buying it, such a stunning and unique model! However, you do need to bare in mind it’s a very slow seller in the market, so you might struggle if you ever wanted to move it on 🙌🏻💯
@@thehonestwatchdealer Indeed, I am passionate about ROLEX and I have many sporty models, but I bought a 1908 in yellow gold white dial, it is magnificent and I don't understand why we don't talk about this type of watch. Thank you for what you do
Chaz! Your customers want subtle? Stealthy? Understated? Not in my experience. They want a watch that everyone can identify. It's about shouting from the rooftops, "I earnt ten thousand pounds last year, and I spent it on a beautiful shiny watch. Are you jealous of my fantastic success?"
Rolex watches are for very sad people who normally do not stand out in everyday life. They think that if they have saved up an expensive Rolex that they count in society.
These guys are becoming irrelevant.. watches are getting back to a place where you can just buy from an authorise dealer because you like the watch rather than a middle man.
There will always be a place for second hand dealers. Many models trade under rrp, means you as a consumer can get a better deal from a secondary market source💡
@@andrewm9669first things first these middlemen overprice the watch market and authorise dealers sells second hand watches too for better prices .. and it is “used and approved”. With these guys there will be always be the risk that it is fake or it is stolen or faulty.. when you are spending good amount of money for quality it’s always advisable to do it the sensible way and the safest way.
@@trinitythoughts have you seen the price of the Rolex Certified Pre-owned watches? I've bought many watches from my AD, and I've bought many from one secondary dealer, I know and trust, I've got nothing but good things to say. Some, I've paid a premium to have watches today, a couple were under rrp from the secondary dealer. I'm not trying to squeeze an investment out of the watches, although in my 22/23 years buying, I'm up, way up in investment terms! I'm 41, when I started I bought my first Rolex submariner for half price from a secondary market dealer, I was young then, without pots of cash. It made sense to buy the cheapest I could find, it was second hand from Hong Kong via a pawn shop in Miami, my mates uncle owned the shop in Miami and I trusted him. Watch and papers, no box. Sub ref 14060m. Still my favourite watch. Both channels offer different benefits. Secondary dealers prices move with market forces, an example, I have a white gold sub, I love it. I bought it from my AD in 2021 for 33k, it's now listed by Rolex for 37k, I can buy it from the secondary market for 28k. Where is the better deal? You might say the secondary market, you're not wrong, but from another perspective you're not right. I've been offered other watches off the back of that Sub, exclusive watches that have increased in value x3, x4 x5 times. So, I've lost a few grand, you should see it, I've worn the he'll out of that sub, it's scratched and marked, From the secondary, I bought a platinum Daytona for 30k in 2016, it's worth 75k today. I have bought Pateks that to get from the AD, I have to buy 2 grand complications, in other words around 200-250k, those watches the AD want to sell me lose 30-40%. I've jumped the Patek queue by stumping up the cash, not jumped throughly hoops, and not bought grand comps, that don't want enough to buy in order to get the pieces I do. I think your perspective is not right of secondary market dealers. They are there to make a margin, that's their business and they provide a service. There will always be people that need to sell, thankfully I've only ever bought, I'm fortunate. But you are right, there will be rotten apple dealers, but that's the same in every industry. I remember when the internet started, my mum wouldn't buy anything as she thought someone would take all her money and not provide the good or service. She was wrong about the internet, it's done alright for commerce, or so I've heard. When you mention buying the safest way, you sound a bit like my mum at the dawn of the internet. If you do your research, or you are recommended dealers by people you trust. I've found them to be great if you are serious about the watch hobby, they can be tremendous to build collections. Sorry for the long message, if you've read this far, I have many experiences with ad's and secondary market dealers. Terrible experiences with AD's, probably more than the other way around. But... first things first, or last things last. AD's and secondary market dealers, they're both middlemen.
@@trinitythoughts primary (Authorised Dealers) or secondary market dealers, are both middlemen. Have you seen the price of Rolex Certified Pre Owned via your AD? If not, it's higher prices than the secondary market. I've had better deals from the secondary market, and I've lost money on watches from my AD. There will always be people that need to sell a watch, there will always be a need for secondary market dealers as long as people buy watches from the primary market.
Your watch says absolutely nothing about you as a person.... It's about personal taste and budget.... And an opportunity for you to show what you have in stock.
We’ll as Rolex, based on the last years hype and the crowed that followed, has become the D-bag Watch of choice, I say you are very wrong. Wearing a Rolex during your “first impression” will leave you starting from an uphill position, convincing people you aren’t a D-bag🤷♂️
Your Rolex says that you have been suckered and paid too much money from secondary market scums, that you should have bought an Omega, which is so much superior anyway.
@@WH-hi5ew Depends on the model, the Constellation, DeVille, Semaster 300 Heritage, Railmaster, or the Speedmaster Professional Hesalite are very restrained. Unlike, Rolex you can pick them up anywhere, and are not tainted by scalpers and scums who try to sell you a second hand watch for more than the retail price.
@@ultrasonicradiation Overall I think Omega has too many iterations and the designs (apart from Speedy) is not that great. No scalpers because there is less demand than Rolex. I have tried on a few Omegas.. and brought a vintage Seamaster... but sold it. Concluded that neither Rolex or present-day Omega are my thing. 90s Dynamic 3 had some nice design ideas though. Omega is really another luxury Swiss watch company selling bling at high prices.
@@WH-hi5ew Ur talking about all luxury Swiss watches, they are all selling bling at high prices. From the Quartz Crisis to the present day, this is the description of the luxury watch industry. If you want price-to-performance, get a G Shock or an Apple Watch.
Trading cards and Sports Memorabilia are changing hands for millions and people are starving to death all over the world. There’s corruption, theft and abuse all around so people being able to buy cars, watches, houses, clothes and food shouldn’t be upsetting to you.
@@rvsmairspace6742 lots of other watch channels with other stuff though... I watch with mild interest and no intention of buying any of this overpriced Rolex bling (I suspect thats the majority of us)
Unfortunately they say you have no taste in actual quality and don't value your time or money and would rather over pay for poor quality just to try and look successful. Not try to get the best value for money instead of a wannabe status symbol. Coming from someone who's previously owned 5 Rolex watches snd sold them when realised hiw bad quality they actually are and are over hyped.
There are some truth in some statements, but unfortunately, you don’t have the slightest idea about what the term “quality” actually mean. Rolex has a high quality, but high quality does not translate to durability, great design or value for money.
Buying from people like him is a risk because you don’t know if they are real watches or if they are stolen watches.. it’s just not worth the risk. Take your money to a Authorise dealer
You can check if the watch was stolen using the serial number. I believe there is a web for that with global database. Police also has something similar
Don’t be ridiculous. I have my issues with him but the idea that a dealer like this would put his business in jeopardy by selling fakes is crazy. Of course it could happen by accident occasionally but he wouldn’t have much of a business if he didn’t have the ability to recognise fakes given he has to pay for them first and take the risk and if he can’t tell it’s a fake and it slips you’ll probably never know either. As for selling stolen watches then again absolutely not worth it.
For me Rolex is a toxic brand now and and like a lot of other things these days it’s all down to the lnternet,I have worn this brand since 1975 & just sold the last remaining one in my collection last month,they mean nothing to me .
Interesting. I’ve been consolidating from a variety of watch brands to only Rolex. Just love the classic, simple designs. Don’t like the sales processes but the watches are great. A 10K watch in another brand just doesn’t feel the same. Not sure why.
i love my pepsi, i dont have anything else other than an apple watch, but i definitely became a fan of it from watching your review of it
Amazing mate such a great watch to own - enjoy it, and thanks for watching!
Now replace the Apple Watch with another mechanical watch
Yooo, DecoyVoice. Love your channel. It's awesome seeing you over here on watch channels.
Goated videos 👍 and a pepsi fan 👍👍
Pepsi or the Batman. One day. For me.
You got the polar dial explorer 2 description spot on

Such a great combination isn’t it!
@@thehonestwatchdealeryes! Fluted Jubilee! It’s stunning.
Well…..guess I’m not getting a whit dial Daytona 😢
All these guys care about are GMTs and Daytonas because they’re the only ones they make big money on over retail!

I think the presenter’s analysis of the type of person matching the watch is spot on! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks for the support mate, I really appreciate it! Hope you’re enjoying the content 🙌🏻💯

The deep sea challenge is the daddy it’s absolutely amazing, I would definitely wear it as a daily !
Such a special timepiece isn't it mate, an absolute BEAST of a watch! 🙌💯
Glad you started with the Air-King. I picked mine up today! I’ve seen it in the window for sale at some ADs. I wanted something a little different but also something that I could wear as a daily since it has the brushed bracelet.
Congratulations on your purchase mate! It’s a great model isn’t it, so robust and a unique timepiece, it will make a great daily! Wear it and enjoy it 👌🏻💯
Love mine. Just so different to a lot of the others.
Pretty much nailed me with the Air King LOL, Maybe the least looking Rolex but with that green and yellow the most unique Rolex? Wears and looks far better in person than pictures or YT do it justice, fabulous and underrated piece in my humble opinion.
It’s a fantastic option, offering something a little different from other models in the catalogue. Wear it and enjoy it mate 🙌🏻💯
The crown guard is another small option you don’t get with some of the other models. I’m a fan of the AirKing over the explorer 1.
Just taken delivery of my AirKing after a 3 year wait. I hate marmite, but I will daily the hell out of this watch 😃
Congratulations on a great watch!!
Congratulations mate, stunning watch, enjoy it! 🙌
I’ve seen it in the window at some ADs and decided to pick mine up today!
Lmao your AD made you wait 3 years for an Airking?? Mate, find a new AD
Air-King is my first Rolex and I love it. Congrats on getting yours
Always appreciate the work you put into these, coupled with your professional opinions. Thank you

Thanks Colin, glad you liked this one!
A watch doesn’t say anything about you. It’s just to tell time and date. Are people so shallow that they need things feel good.
Short answer: Yes.
Yes people are shallow, that’s the foundation of luxury goods business.
You were 100% right about the Hulk. I also own a (Mercedes Hands) 116688 😅

I'm not trying to squeeze an investment out of the watches, although in my 22/23 years buying, I'm up, way up in investment terms! I'm 41, when I started I bought my first Rolex submariner for half price from a secondary market dealer, I was young then, without pots of cash. It made sense to buy the cheapest I could find, it was second hand from Hong Kong via a pawn shop in Miami, my mates uncle owned the shop in Miami and I trusted him. Watch and papers, no box. Sub ref 14060m. Still my favourite watch.
Both channels offer different benefits.
Secondary dealers prices move with market forces, an example, I have a white gold sub, I love it. I bought it from my AD in 2021 for 33k, it's now listed by Rolex for 37k, I can buy it from the secondary market for 28k. Where is the better deal? You might say the secondary market, you're not wrong, but from another perspective you're not right.
I've been offered other watches off the back of that Sub, exclusive watches that have increased in value x3, x4 x5 times. So, I've lost a few grand, you should see it, I've worn the he'll out of that sub, it's scratched and marked,
From the secondary, I bought a platinum Daytona for 30k in 2016, it's worth 75k today. I have bought Pateks that to get from the AD, I have to buy 2 grand complications, in other words around 200-250k, those watches the AD want to sell me lose 30-40%. I've jumped the Patek queue by stumping up the cash, not jumped throughly hoops, and not bought grand comps, that don't want enough to buy in order to get the pieces I do.
I think your perspective is not right of secondary market dealers. They are there to make a margin, that's their business and they provide a service. There will always be people that need to sell, thankfully I've only ever bought, I'm fortunate. But you are right, there will be rotten apple dealers, but that's the same in every industry.
I remember when the internet started, my mum wouldn't buy anything as she thought someone would take all her money and not provide the good or service. She was wrong about the internet, it's done alright for commerce, or so I've heard. When you mention buying the safest way, you sound a bit like my mum at the dawn of the internet.
If you do your research, or you are recommended dealers by people you trust. I've found them to be great if you are serious about the watch hobby, they can be tremendous to build collections.
Sorry for the long message, if you've read this far, I have many experiences with ad's and secondary market dealers. Terrible experiences with AD's, probably more than the other way around.
But... first things first, or last things last. AD's and secondary market dealers, they're both middlemen.
@@trinitythoughts primary (Authorised Dealers) or secondary market dealers, are both middlemen.
Have you seen the price of Rolex Certified Pre Owned via your AD? If not, it's higher prices than the secondary market.
I've had better deals from the secondary market, and I've lost money on watches from my AD.
There will always be people that need to sell a watch, there will always be a need for secondary market dealers as long as people buy watches from the primary market.
No because grey market dealers make money on every transaction. They will buy low and mark up under retail.
Prefer date sub
Any rolex wearer tells me you wasted your money on a sub par watch.
Love your content! Can’t get enough of it. I wish you and your team continued success! Thank you.
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the content, I really appreciate the support, thank you mate 🙌🏻💯
Deep sea challenge daily? Can’t see it
Not impressing anyone with a rolex.
Bingo… quite the opposite actually.

Your watch says absolutely nothing about you as a person.... It's about personal taste and budget.... And an opportunity for you to show what you have in stock.
You just refuted your argument, lol
We get it you don’t have a watch 😂
We’ll as Rolex, based on the last years hype and the crowed that followed, has become the D-bag Watch of choice, I say you are very wrong. Wearing a Rolex during your “first impression” will leave you starting from an uphill position, convincing people you aren’t a D-bag🤷♂️
I love day date. jk
Such a classic configuration isn’t it mate 👌🏻
The GMT root beer and Daytona ghost are the best for me. Maybe the full rose gold Day date for the older me in the future.
Two utterly stunning models aren’t they mate! The full rose gold Day Date is such a classic 🙌🏻
Nicely presented video I enjoyed this one 👌
Thanks for watching Mark, glad you liked this one 🙌
@@thehonestwatchdealerthe "why you like a particular watch" is quite an interesting topic for watch videos.
Your Rolex says that you have been suckered and paid too much money from secondary market scums, that you should have bought an Omega, which is so much superior anyway.
Omegas have good movements but seem (like Rolex) also to be quite blingy these days unfortunately...
@@WH-hi5ew Depends on the model, the Constellation, DeVille, Semaster 300 Heritage, Railmaster, or the Speedmaster Professional Hesalite are very restrained. Unlike, Rolex you can pick them up anywhere, and are not tainted by scalpers and scums who try to sell you a second hand watch for more than the retail price.
@@ultrasonicradiation Overall I think Omega has too many iterations and the designs (apart from Speedy) is not that great. No scalpers because there is less demand than Rolex. I have tried on a few Omegas.. and brought a vintage Seamaster... but sold it. Concluded that neither Rolex or present-day Omega are my thing. 90s Dynamic 3 had some nice design ideas though. Omega is really another luxury Swiss watch company selling bling at high prices.
@@WH-hi5ew Ur talking about all luxury Swiss watches, they are all selling bling at high prices. From the Quartz Crisis to the present day, this is the description of the luxury watch industry. If you want price-to-performance, get a G Shock or an Apple Watch.
Trading cards and Sports Memorabilia are changing hands for millions and people are starving to death all over the world. There’s corruption, theft and abuse all around so people being able to buy cars, watches, houses, clothes and food shouldn’t be upsetting to you.
First view 😉
Does he ever talk about anything else than Rolex?
Dont think so... he's a Rolex grey market dealer...plus it gets the clicks online.
@@WH-hi5ew Gets so boring though
@@rvsmairspace6742 lots of other watch channels with other stuff though... I watch with mild interest and no intention of buying any of this overpriced Rolex bling (I suspect thats the majority of us)
Unfortunately they say you have no taste in actual quality and don't value your time or money and would rather over pay for poor quality just to try and look successful. Not try to get the best value for money instead of a wannabe status symbol. Coming from someone who's previously owned 5 Rolex watches snd sold them when realised hiw bad quality they actually are and are over hyped.
There are some truth in some statements, but unfortunately, you don’t have the slightest idea about what the term “quality” actually mean. Rolex has a high quality, but high quality does not translate to durability, great design or value for money.
Buying from people like him is a risk because you don’t know if they are real watches or if they are stolen watches.. it’s just not worth the risk. Take your money to a Authorise dealer
You can check if the watch was stolen using the serial number. I believe there is a web for that with global database. Police also has something similar
@@abusadorucithey can also sell you a watch with the wrong papers. Just saying
Don’t be ridiculous. I have my issues with him but the idea that a dealer like this would put his business in jeopardy by selling fakes is crazy. Of course it could happen by accident occasionally but he wouldn’t have much of a business if he didn’t have the ability to recognise fakes given he has to pay for them first and take the risk and if he can’t tell it’s a fake and it slips you’ll probably never know either. As for selling stolen watches then again absolutely not worth it.
The two tone Daytona white dial is 99.9% ladies? So only one in a thousand bought are worn by men? Ok mate!!!! 🫤
According to him, there are a million rather than 100 in a 'percent'.
Daytona has for some time now being favoured by the ladies due to its small size. That’s about the only thing in this video he got right.
Best Submariner: Hulk
Best GMT Master II: Pepsi
Best Daytona: Panda
All such iconic configurations aren’t they mate 👌🏻💯
For me Rolex is a toxic brand now and and like a lot of other things these days it’s all down to the lnternet,I have worn this brand since 1975 & just sold the last remaining one in my collection last month,they mean nothing to me .
I have one Rolex GMT Master 2 "Rootbeer" in my collection now... and that's it. Can't get rid of the brand completely. 😂😂
You little ray of sunshine, you.
Interesting. I’ve been consolidating from a variety of watch brands to only Rolex. Just love the classic, simple designs. Don’t like the sales processes but the watches are great. A 10K watch in another brand just doesn’t feel the same. Not sure why.
Sprite?
Such a special combination, I’ll be covering more models in a future episode mate, so stay tuned…🙌🏻
I don't like Rolex and don't own one, so I guess my phantom watch is silent
The only thing that Rolex says is "This idiot does not deserve to have such money"
Jealousy is a terrible thing.
Your Rolex says if everyone was buying a Casio calculator watch you’d own 5!!!
That the most ridiculous form of American English I ever heard
Ignorance or satire?
