The lady said a Rolex will last you 20 years if you take care of it! Fudge, I have G-Shocks that have been snorkelling, up mountains, in rainforests, and they are working fine 20 years of wear and use. For a watch of Rolex prices, I would want to be buried in it at 120, exhumed 100 years later, and after a little winding, the Rolex is working again. 20 years my arse!
My Rolex is going strong for 31 years. My dad got it before I was even born in 1992 when this model came out. Now in 2023 he’s given it to me as sort of a rite of passage and it’s established itself as a precious family heirloom. 31 years hardly ever been serviced other than adding/removing links and the Authorised Service Center still says that the movement is still very good.

@birtawillnews4908 First of all you can’t compare the price of a watch where only one was produced and was sold at an auction, The only reason it sold for $31 mil was because two idiots with bottomless pockets wanted it! So there was a bidding war, Auction prices do not usually reflect an items actual value! If that watch was to go to auction again it may not even sell for $15 mil if there is only one person interested!
@@NeverEnoughPyro40 well, he can compare the price of a watch independently of how many were produced and in fact this is one of the things that determine the value that someone is willing to pay for it. Deal with it.
wanted to comment that he has a dutch saying in mind, since in germany its "offene türen einrennen" which translates to somewhat like "breaking into open doors" and is extremely close to the dutch version.

Have the COSC requirements changed recently? Nico claimed that for COSC certification the parameters are +/- 2 sec day. They are in fact far less strict. "To be COSC Certified, a timepiece needs to be accurate to -4 to +6 seconds a day. " According to Mr Google.
@@cecaju9516 I'm inclined to agree. But that's not what was claimed and therefore could easily cause disappointment when a non "superlative chronometer" is purchased as COSC certified and fails to meet these standards.
13:32 currently this guy is hiding in Dubai because of an arrest warrant in the UK because he crashed his McLaren and injured some people. He's getting exposed for his fake lifestyle too
My grand father used to always tell me "kicking open a door that is already open." Sure he might not have been all there but he sure did have a nice watch collection.
Well there’s actually one thing wrong that Nico says : all the other watch brands use 316L stainless steel when not using precious metals. BUT some brands actually have 904L steel like Milus or Ball. That said, Rolex was the first brand to use that type of alloy.
It should also be noted that 904L isn't necessarily ''better'' than 316L, it has better corrosion resistance and can be made to shine brighter than 316L at the cost of being a slightly softer steel.
And 904L is one of the standard SAE Steel grade (as 316L is), let's not get the impression that it was invented by Rolex. And how Nico said that it sounds a bit like that. All that being said, Rolex making all the metals for cases is really something unique.
A point on steels - the 904L has been around for a while and was used in aerospace and other industries, though Rolex was the first to start using this steel in their watches in the mid 80s. It's not like they had an alchemist tinker away in a dimly lit dungeon and came up with a unique new steel - they do have a goddamn foundry, though, and produce all their shit in-house . I've seen a lot of crap online where people think they actually invented the steel or something, so just wanted to clarify.

About the "selfwinding+WR+accurancy" sounded more the the 5 principles of a Seiko 5 "an automatic winding mechanism, water resistance, a day and date display, a durable case, and a recessed crown at the 4 o'clock position" and nothing to do with rolex.
5:26 “If you ever have a problem with your Rolex, you can take it to them, and they will fix it”. Objection, speculative and assumes facts not in evidence!
Oh nico i e been waiting for this sometime;) In order to obtain the coveted “Chronometer” title the rate precision of a movement must fall within the range of -4/+6 seconds per day. It is rolex themselves who takes it up a notch and regulates them to -+2 seconds❤
6:31 904L is an austenitic stainless steel. Though notably softer than 316L, its molybdenum addition gives it superior resistance to localized attack by chlorides and greater resistance reducing acids and in particular its copper addition gives it useful corrosion resistance to all concentrations of sulphuric acid. 904L is available at steel vendors around the world. Perhaps Harland and Wolff should have used it on their icebreaker named Titanic.
The tiktok guy losing his mind because he has no idea what the Timex is worth vs Nico losing his mind because he knows exactly what the Timex is worth.
The Rock's message is simple. Don't wear a solid gold Rolex during a WWE wrestling match. Because its softer than stainless steel..... Wait, what do you mean WWE is fake...?
There are other watch brands using 904L steel too (Girard Perregaux, Horage, Ball to name a few) although they are not forging themselves. Great Channel!!
