What is the most important thing for you when choosing a watch?
Depends on who you are:

A Rolex is the type of watch that you would buy in your 30’s and still wear in your 80’s
Thats why you buy a Rolex to have a watch for live and pass it down to your childeren
And then what?
Rawan A. Wdym then what it’s a watch that you can pass down as a memento of your relatives
@NexusGen Inc. rolex watches style never get old
@NexusGen Inc. OK boomer
Finally, a video without advertisement at the end (Skillshare, Wix etc.)
Then I realised the entire video was advertisement from Rolex.....
Well the title is already talking about rolex so its understandable
I think it was quite accurate. If you like it, want it and can afford it, you should buy it. It is a luxury item that will hold its value very nicely while you enjoy it. :-)
That is why u wont wear it but someone else will
Bob- What's the time ?
Rolex owner- Takes out his phone
Bc no rolex owner actually uses it as a watch

And it's likely more accurate than the rolex +- 2 seconds a day standards too!
It’s better then the Rolex because it’s lighter :)

I am waiting for "And today's sponsor is Rolex"
They don't need that sponsor
why would they even lol
Rolex is a private brand and does not do sponsorships Rolex also owns tutor which is like an affordable Rolex
@@bananaassasin7514 Actually Rolex prefer to partner with high end sporting events such as F1, Tennis, Golf and Yacht Racing
If i wear a $30,000 watch on my hand....I wont be able to wear it casually, I'll go crazy checking if there are scratches, etc.
Sounds about right
I think they have some sort of lifetime guarantee for repairs or something
The feeling wears off after the first few scratches. Then you have a 30k watch that can withstand anything you throw at it.
@@time2livelife they offer a 5 year warranty. But if you regularly service your watch it should last a lifetime and more.
@@time2livelife unfortunately not, there is only warranty for a few years, and regular servicing is not covered. And each service can cost hundreds.
A Rolex can make u late for an appointment because u might be robbed along the way

Yes sir!
No, if it was an ad, we wouldnt be the target audience :P
Nirajan Shrestha// When it comes to ads, everyone is target audience.
Genius 👏👏👏
You processed it as an ad, it was the most concrete idea of the video for you. You want it to be an ad as much as you want the Rolex
"Although expensive, anyone can buy one, if they save up, or get a high paying job."
No duh.....
If you make a middle-class salary spending $8,000 on a watch is insane.
@@johnazhderian5734 exactly.

Young Dripsta yeah but it is still not worth it getting a Rolex for 3000 you could buy many other watches and more
I can just buy a standard 20$ watch
My lecturer owns a Rolex, yet he’s always late to class...
My lecturer flashed his around too. Always resting his arm in uncomfortable looking positions to make it visible at all times.
This shows that rolex is no longer a symbol of luxury, at least in America. Anyone from a lecturer to a clerk wears rolex.
To be fair traditional watches aren't going to stay top of the game forever. This is the digital era. Smartwatches are getting more popular every year. If Rolex wants, maybe they can progress in this area. These days people want a freaking blood pressure and sugar monitor on their wrists which can also play music and answer calls.

@ivan arciniegas yeah. They sponsor Wimbledon
hahahah get smarter or you're done for
I was expecting the video to start like - *This video is sponsored by Rolex*
You smart, i like that.
Got an add with Rolex before the video start.
That is probably very unlikely the have you ever wondered why you never see Lamborghini, Rolex and other expensive brands doing ads on tv? Its because their target customers are rich people that can afford their products. And usually rich people dont spend time watching tv or youtube. :)
Do you beleive in rolex sponsoring something like this?
I wasn't expecting it at the beginning, but by the end I expected to see that. They didn't break down the cost of the watch at all.
“This video was sponsored by Vincero”😂

There are dozens of Swiss watch companies with higher standards than Rolex. The problem with them is that they spend little on marketing which is why most people outside of the watch community have no idea they exist.
Of course! This is a an absolutely true!
I don't think that's a problem for them, they do that intentionally to keep the demand less thus providing hand made quality watches. Also it makes an even more exclusive clubs.
VyperEye89 what are the name of the companies? I might wanna snag a watch that’s cheaper then a Rolex but better standards.
Could you give some examples? Would love to check them out.
VyperEye89 yes examples pls
Doesn’t James Bond usually wear Omega?

Patek Phillipe, “Am I a joke to you?”
When first time visiting a Rolex store, I was travelling alone in a foreign country for an academic conference, the Rolex store was reluctant to open the door for a poor looking student. And the staff there looked unpleasant as they knew people like me would never buy a watch there in the first place. That all said, even if I one day can afford to buy many of those watches, I will never buy one. Can't find a single reason except to impress someone in a brief encounter by showing off filthy richness.

The history is the why

Agreed. Has the feel of an infomercial.

Cause Rolex won't let me down.
People buy Rolex just for a status symbol. Digital watches are more accurate. IMO.
Quartz watches.
some people love craftsmanship if you can afford it what's wrong with that? I love my Apple Watch but nothing beats a mechanical real watch
@@carlitoxb110 it literally does beat the Rolex watch dude.
most rolex models aren't any proof of status... they're not that expensive in the first place.. especially when you consider in the resale value.
partly agree with you. I own a smart watch and it has a lot of handy benefits over a mechanical watch. Although a Rolex isn't only a status symbol, in a 10 year span a "cheap" ($5000) Rolex can already significantly rise in value. For instance a friend of mine saved up money for as long as I can remember and with 18 bought a Rolex for 5k. When he was 30 he sold it for 12k when he started a family and needed the money. Maybe I'm just biased bc I'm swiss and my grandfather used to work for Rolex for over 20 years, but I think it's a smart investment early on in your life if you are fortunate enough to be in the financial position to make the purchase.
James Bond ( Daniel Craig), now wears an Omega in the newer movies rather than a Rolex.
he still wears a rolex off the screen
Lol I seen Craig Daniel wearing a Rolex gmt Pepsi.
and then?
With all said and done
*I still don't think I can buy that watch*
If you can buy also just don't fucking buy them, they are just too expensive and waste of money
try getting a job then?
I could, but then I'll have 0 dollars left..
All that work I did in the summer gone like that... 😂
Alpha DMB is just not affordable for everybody, even if everyone had jobs.
With all said and done, I dont really care. I pay for what i think is worth. and my success isnt coming from a watch.
Theyre the king of branding, they take extremely good care of their workers. Overall theyre the standard in watchmaking. Many others break this standard though, both in quality and price.
I guess Rolex can add a free 7 min ad to their list
Still don’t see the reason why it’s so expensive

My G-Shock Tough Solar MUDMAN, G9300 features direction and thermo sensors that can help you keep your bearing wherever your adventure takes you. A one-touch easy access button goes directly to compass & thermometer mode and a moon phase graph can help to determine whether the nighttime hours will be dark or light. A declination function even makes it possible to adjust the watch’s magnetic north direction reading to indicate true north. All of this, plus Tough Solar to keep everything working and Shock and Mud Resistance to keep it well protected. Black resin band digital watch with neutral face.
Honestly Rolex is the most well known watch but the finest wrist watches are Patek Philippe
Mike Samana I prefer Breitling. PP is expensive but not always the best
AP ma guy
True, though i'd still prefer a Jaeger LeCoultre, their Reverso series is just too sexy to dismiss.
I have a Two tone submariner and I prefer classy watches, I believe it is the only classy watch within Rolex, other than the plain steel one, overall, I definitely prefer Breitling, Rolex is a brand that is made for flexing, which imo even though I have one, isn't good.
Ok but what about audemars piguet
I'm not into watches (yet) but I would prefer to be a bit more low key than a Rolex. I like a Grand Seiko or an IWC personally. I just feel like fewer people would ask about it. Then again, I don't know about watches.
Seiko's Spring Drive is a true piece of engineering beauty!
So true 🙂
Go for a tudor. The company was founded by the same man who founded the rolex and it uses a lot of the same parts, though the movement isn't an in-house make and is less expensive- around 2-3k.
I just think that buying a Rolex is a sign of deficiency in a person's confidence or some deep insecurity. It serves no better purpose than a simple watch or a phone. The video is explaining what causes it to become expensive but it is missing out the main cause for the expense which is the multi fold profit they earn over the cost on each piece. It is just a sham and the video maker is in on it. Unsubscribe...

Yeah, this video is just Rolex propaganda. Someone who says Rolex made the first waterproof wristwatch is just not checking their facts and parroting straight from their website.

I've had a lot of inexpensive watches and they always broke. I got a submariner almost 20 years ago and after wearing it every day it's still going strong.
It could be that since your sub is so expensive you take better care of it. In any case I'm sure you're not breaking watches so often that you would have spent $10,000 on watches over 20 years. That's a new $500 watch every year.
You think rolex's are expensive? TRY BUYING A USED PATEK PHILLIPE 😫😫😫😫😫
Its not the brand that rolex is .
A patek is still more expensive than a rolex unless you buy an iced out daytona hell a standard Steel nautilus is more expensive than over half of all the watches Rolex currently sells. This is about cost not what the brand is or isnt.
BalthazarTheGreat it may be . But does not put the statement what Rolex does . I bet it won't even have 10% of likes on social media of Rolex . Let's just say if both are given for free 90% people would prefer Rolex just for the brand . What sells , sells .
@@rathneshrattu not sure if you are trolling or what, but a patek beats rolex hands down. If you are looking for a high end watch that is exquisitely manufactured, chances are you are looking for a patek phillips. Rolex are for commoners that wish to ice out, patek phillips is for the truly rich and influential. Facts
Lol does people not know the value of patek phillipe? I’m actually amazed by these as they genuinely does not understand. Rolex watches are no longer in its prime. The workmanship of patek phillipe is really century proof
It doesn’t show the actual time but the time of a person
if m not wrong bond wears omega?
Reason why I will never buy luxury watches no matter how rich I will be, is because of this quote I read long ago: "You can buy the most expensive watch you want, but you can never buy the time from it.'
It's same with buying diamonds and shit. I'd doubt that anybody with that much money would even consider that to be the first thing that comes onto their minds when thinking about what they want to buy. I'd rather get a nosejob with that money.
Reason I'll buy it: "It serves as a reminder, that time is truly valueable."
Oh contraire me bucko, You are buying time. The time it took to hand craft that watch by a master watch maker no less. Also the time it took for me (Some Dude in his undearwear) to write this to you! That is what makes it special, and I am not talking about my underwear it is TIME.............
True
It takes one good quote to convince you... thank god not everyone (not far from it being the case) is like you.

All the comments are saying rolex is so over hyped and expensive but there is a reason to it as it is explained in the video. Same goes for the other brands like Apple, Beats by Dr.Dre these products are so expensive because they are marketed better than other products and manufactured using some expensive materials. A Rolls Royce costs so much because they are 98% or 99% hand crafted. These brands put a lot details in their products unlike many of the other products on the market. Apple introduced dual cameras, notch in their smartphones and look other brands are making their smartphones with dual cameras and even Google Pixel 3 has notch. I don't have money to buy these products but i appreciate that they are well made and are worth the cost.
Unfortunately I think Rolex is the only reasonably priced product lines compared to the two examples you gave.
Apple build and material quality is worsening, designs and current model for the "high premium" macbook lines belong in the bin along with the fact that a laptop at half the price or less has more power than their higher priced models, and stacked with lawsuits over it.
Beats are much, much too overpriced for what they offer to other high-end headphones. Is it okay? Sure. It's not failing constantly or suffering from lazy engineering. But if you want actual high-end sound quality, you will not be getting that from the high price premium of a Beats.
As for your last point about others copying Apple;
They're being idiots. They're copying Apple's bad side. Why the notch? Should leave it as is. Looks stylistically ugly in exchange for just a little more screen space. They should be copying their marketing or their tightly-connected ecosystem. Not their design flaws.
@@karotakekashi4520 i agree that beats is way overpriced but people buy it because it is marketed in like almost all the music videos, many other headphones are better than beats for ex Sennheiser but u dont see them marketed so much so people dont know about them. Same goes for Apple i know there are so many great smarphones out there but Apple has 70-80 % share in smartphone industry which os mainly because of their marketing of products. You cant skip an Apple ad on YT u have to watch it till it ends things like that. Some of these products are worth it some are expensive beacuse of their maketing. At the end we the consumers have to decide what to buy.
Exactly. Their marketing is top-notch, undeniably.
Or you know, riot when there is an issue. Rolex seems to be worth the value. Apple not so much. Turns out they cheapen their goods, design flaws into products to fail sooner, and to make repairs nearly impossible by their own technician to encourage people to buy more.
No they are not worth the cost. 17 million? No fucking way
The bad and cringe rappers make Rolex look like a watch that sells high for brand name. But this video actually explains it cause of how well they're designed and made.
Rolex: "I'm the most famous brand of watch on Earth".
Omega: "Come back and talk to me after you left Earth and returned from outer space."
Video well done! 😁👍
I agree with this, although most of the cost is brand value that you pay for. There are watches out there with the same development costs, workmanship and material costs which cost about half of a Rolex.
*this video is sponsored to you by Rolex*
don't think so,
i doubt people wasting their time on youtube will ever can afford a Rolex, therefore they don't need to advertise here
I think it would also be cool if you went over how much a Rolex costs to make and compare the wholesale value to the actual price.
The pricing at the beginning was a bit off
And here I was excited when I bought my $10 Coleman digital watch from Menards. It was on clearance.
I wear a watch of 2dollars im fine with it!
It shows time
Interesting, I didn't know our last King watch (Bao Dai, he was a last King in Vietnam) was sold for that much.
As someone who’s very picky about every purchase I make and doesn’t mind paying more if it’s quality, a Rolex is a great product. It’s the kind of watch you buy once and never have to replace, it’s the kind of watch you’ll pass down to your kids and they to their grandkids.
I think one of the few seemingly "overpriced" products that are actually totally worth their price. With a Rolex, you have a great piece of jewelry and a precise tool (watching time), and being able to resell it at a profit really makes it worth it.
Counting inflation leads to 100$ max profit
My cell phone keeps better time than a watch lol.
There's a lot of lack of information in this, they were the first wristwatch chronometer certified by default. They leave out a lot of important detail. Also marketing, but Rolex is nowhere near the finest brand of wristwatch in the world. Look at Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet etc. A lot of Rolex was using already existing aspects of other watches and putting their twist on it. Also the name "Rolex" was also decided on because it sounded luxurious which I'd say is important information if you're trying to learn about the history of the company and brand. Its not misinformation it's just lack of key information. Also the "keep ahead of the industry curve" is not the Rolex of today. They are very stagnant and refreshing the old, like the GMT Pepsi bezel or reviving Tudor. They are no longer the cutting edge of watchmaking. This wasn't a terrible video by any means but if you're going to make a video on such an established brand at least do it right.
silver player hi mate
Well put.
Man you did your research
I don't agree to what ur saying, Rolex does allot of cutting edge in watchmaking, and yes it is one of the finest sports watches out there, it is a difference between hi-horology and horology, you dont compare an ap, pp, or VC to a rolex, because it is totaly different watches. But rolex today are doin what Porsche are doing, they are refining the same models to become better and better. and that is inovation and refinment, and they do cutting edge techonlogy, name me a PP or AP that has a service interval of 10 years?
Found the watch guy.
You guys should do one of these videos on Patek Philip and Richard Mille
Love my Rolex Datejust
Congratulations it’s a nice watch 👍 I would like to buy a 114060 I tried hard but it’s impossible from the retailers they said to me it’s 10years of waiting list and I’m not gonna buy from the grey market so I ended up buying another watch now, still waiting for my submariner though 👍
Some people have more money than sense.
