Spot on mate. It's fine to explain there is no profit to be made for flippers as they aren't the overhyped models but claiming you shouldn't buy is ludicrous. The point these videos don't make is if you want a watch that has missed the hype train you can find one at an AD for list easily without having to jump through hoops - and if there is a wait list it will be a short one.
Spot on, it's quite telling that so many people are only interested in what they can sell them for, instead of actually enjoying what they are. Mine will never be for sale, so don't care what they're worth.
Why this infatuation with resale values? I am fortunate to own four Rolex watches that I purchased many years ago. I still have them, and I adore them. The thought of selling them as an investment doesn’t even enter my mind. If someone likes their bi metal Datejust, or Air King, and they are keepers because they like the watches, good luck to them.
I have owned Rolex watches since the 1990s. It has been my position that you should be able to sell it for what you paid for it, based on the MSRP. I will not overpay for any watch. I couldn’t enjoy wearing a watch that cost to much.
I currently own the newest reference Air King and plan to acquire all the watches on this video except the 2 tone Datejust. For me, the Air King, Explorer 2 Polar, Yacht Master 2 and Milgauss all have a lot of character and uniqueness to them. Everyone has a Sub or GMT or Datejust 41 and I plan to collect those as well, but they seem to be played out. I have been in rooms where everyone is wearing a Sub or Sea, but my Air King grabs all the attention. I buy the watches like and wear them.
Same here, he was knocking my ym2. I use her for short timing for cooking and like the flyback feature. She has more purpose than just a regatta watch. Have to be more creative before knocking these watches around. And yes you can use the daytona/chronograph if one wishes. I have them both, but prefer to use the ym2, she nice and large,easy to read.😂😂😂😂😂❤❤🎉🎉
C’mon, don’t fool yourself: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY that know a couple of things about watches would praise an Air King. I’m sorry, but it’s the most horrible and shameful watch in the Rolex collection 🤷🏻♂️
Air King, Milgauss and Yacht-mater II are fairly unattractive. While the other two are a bit debatable. To me, these three watches have no character and don't speak to me. But that is my personal opinion. Ultimately it comes down to personal choices. Thank you for posting a nice thought-provoking video.
Another video telling Rolex sheep to be sheep. Who wants the same 3-4 models that you can go out and find several other people wearing in a single evening? Sheep that’s who!
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Those ( Probably Most like myself) that Bought the Rolex Explorer 2 216570 or 226570 , bought them for what They were going to be Used for. And That's, the Rugged lifestyle and the Traveling that also can come with that. It's a TOOL, to be used as a Tool. I Per se, own a Black Dialed 216570 versus the Polar, because the Watch wear Smaller, less Noticeable for Everyday Use. A GMT Master 2 isn't that Kind of watch, and the Sub ( which I've owned 2 before) doesn't give you the GMT Function that comes in Handy. Resellers as a Watch buyer, isn't a true Enthusiast.
Im sorry. But you really don't know enough about watches to run a UA-cam channel. Check out channels like Roman Sharf for the value side and idguy for the design side. Both eclipse you in every possible way.
I would never sell for profit any of my watches, I have, on occasion sold one to a friend because he wanted it really bad but for the most part, videos like this are for watch flippers not collectors.
Many people that buy the Air King or the Explorer 2 is because they don’t have the money or don’t want to expend the asking prices for the Subs and GMT’s now. I’d prefer to pass before buying those atrocities
Totally disagree. I have a SS Daytona, Dateless Sub, Deepsea, GMT Sprite and I've just bought an AirKing (from an AD). Don't think that people buyer "cheaper" things because they can't afford more, that's fools thinking. I bought the AK as I've always liked it, not because it's all I could afford. Even then, lets not forget that £6500+ for ANY watch is a huge sum of money, so if that is what someone can afford and they want it, then good luck to them. To say they're "atrocities" is a rather insulting. I wouldn't buy a Tesla at any price, but I wouldn't insult someone who did.
LONDON LEGALS That sounds like "Audit the Audit to me" ... from 4,250 miles away! This video gets a B+. I'll err, "give you the credit you deserve" 😉.. Whilst a clear voice and logically written, it ignores an enormous number of watches eg. Ladies, gold pieces et al.
Just remember nobody wanted the Daytona in the early days ! Buy what you love
Tied of seeing all these videos about what models not to buy. Everyone isn’t looking to resell. Watches are not investments

i agree i have 30 plus watches.... 12 mid tier +..... NEVER looked at selling one...... 🤷♂🤷♂
Agree. I immediately clicked dislike button. I hope YF stop recommending this content.

Spot on, I'd pass on all five of there; but as a pilot, I've always liked the air king.
I love the explorer so much I bought 16570, 216670 and 226570. Buy what you love, watches are not investments.

Milgauss and Air King are the only two Rolex I am actually interested in...that and a two-tone Sea Dweller - but that's out of reach for now.
The primary point you’ve overlooked is availability…
The latest Air King is a beauty. One of their best models.

Yes keep the money for op 41 instead. Even the silver one is much better than airking.
I love my Milguass. It is my second Rolex and I bought it primarily because of the green glass look. Great video!

The ym2 can be used to time short cooking times. Also she has a flyback feature, nice! 😂😂😂
Guess it's nice to be wrong! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Buy what you like!
Another video telling Rolex sheep to be sheep. Who wants the same 3-4 models that you can go out and find several other people wearing in a single evening? Sheep that’s who!
MAMACOO is a must for me as a watch collector
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Super!!!!
Rubbish, buy what YOU LIKE, not what will get you clout from strangers. Watches are for wearing, not for hype
Hi,
we think all of these models are very nice! :) Everyone should buy the watch they like.
Ever since I bought a watch from MAMACOO, My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?
Those ( Probably Most like myself) that Bought the Rolex Explorer 2 216570 or 226570 , bought them for what They were going to be Used for.

Most watch analysts don't even own anything they analyse😂😂😂
Can you recommend "3" Reputable Gray Market dealers.
Thanks and Enjoy Life
Buy what you want. Who cares what people think.
Polar Explorer? Hmm…
Need more wind sound effects
Air King all the way. Love that watch. Ridiculous/stupid video.
Who made this list? I had to watch this on Mute
LONDON LEGALS
