00:00:00
jubilee bracelet on steel the difference
00:00:02
is like two three hundred dollars yeah
00:00:04
but on the two tones it's like a
00:00:06
thousand dollars it's more gold you
00:00:08
think that we can only speculate we
00:00:10
don't know but uh yeah it's interesting
00:00:12
how else would they price their product
00:00:14
just like this
00:00:19
[Music]
00:00:26
hey guys and welcome to another video
00:00:29
and today we're going to have a closer
00:00:31
look of three really amazing pieces
00:00:35
before we get started let me choose
00:00:37
myself i am karar and i'm sitting here
00:00:39
with alex
00:00:41
alright guys so let's take a closer look
00:00:43
of what we have here so alex yeah we
00:00:46
have three beautiful rolex sky dwellers
00:00:50
sitting here with us
00:00:51
starting from the left the black dial
00:00:54
two tone on a jubilee bracelet yep
00:00:56
that's so funny it's a setup yeah it's a
00:00:58
novelty as well yeah got to introduce
00:01:01
this here actually
00:01:03
and then we have the black dial on the
00:01:06
oyster bracelet also two-toed yeah this
00:01:08
was introduced a few years back
00:01:11
alongside with the
00:01:13
steel and white gold rolex sky-dweller
00:01:17
blue dial yeah the
00:01:19
well probably the most popular rolex
00:01:22
sky-dweller out there there's actually
00:01:24
one that is more popular i'll get into
00:01:25
that
00:01:26
but before we do that yeah
00:01:29
how do you like the sky water line alex
00:01:31
uh it's a cool line uh actually and i
00:01:33
mean back in 2012 when it was introduced
00:01:36
it was actually something brand new from
00:01:39
rolex it wasn't just a
00:01:41
new dial or a new bracelet or anything
00:01:44
like that but it was actually a brand
00:01:46
new watch model yeah and also a very
00:01:49
impressive watch model if you consider
00:01:52
actually the movement and the
00:01:55
complications that that these rolex
00:01:57
watches
00:01:59
offer i mean
00:02:00
rolex
00:02:01
isn't really making a name for
00:02:03
themselves with making complicated
00:02:05
watches right nope and that's more pedex
00:02:08
game but if you look at
00:02:10
these rolex watches they have a gmt
00:02:14
function
00:02:15
and they also offer an annual calendar
00:02:17
function yep which is pretty neat for an
00:02:20
hour minute date and second
00:02:22
obviously
00:02:24
which is pretty neat for just a sports
00:02:26
watch so to speak yeah
00:02:28
yeah it's a it's a cool looking watch
00:02:30
it's a chunky piece but i mean
00:02:32
it's boasting so many complications in
00:02:35
in a in a watch that's
00:02:38
yeah it's cool and uh it's a watch that
00:02:41
when it was introduced uh almost 10
00:02:43
years ago yeah only came in precious
00:02:46
metals it was a statement from rolex
00:02:47
that this is a flagship model this is
00:02:50
something that you know this will cost
00:02:52
you a lot of money because this is
00:02:54
something new and special exactly
00:02:56
and after five years then back in
00:02:59
2017 yeah they introduced the oyster
00:03:03
versions in steel and in two-tone yep
00:03:06
and as you said before this year in 2021
00:03:09
they introduced the two-tone version and
00:03:11
the steel version in uh
00:03:14
jubilee braces exactly and
00:03:17
uh kind of funny i mean um we discussed
00:03:19
in our old uh in our sorry old in our
00:03:22
last video when we were speaking about
00:03:24
the gmt masters uh how rolex is trying
00:03:27
to accommodate
00:03:29
uh their fan base their customers so to
00:03:32
speak with different options for their
00:03:35
standard models so they introduced the
00:03:37
jubilee bracelet
00:03:39
on the sky-dweller line
00:03:41
they introduced the jubilee bracelets
00:03:43
back on the pepsi as we spoke about in
00:03:45
the last video
00:03:47
which is a kind of uh kind of fun to see
00:03:49
the way that rolex is moving trying to
00:03:52
basically
00:03:53
accommodate everybody that likes
00:03:55
different styles exactly all right alex
00:03:58
let's get to the fun part
00:03:59
so
00:04:01
today i'm wearing my uh beautiful rolex
00:04:04
submariner hulk i'm taking this one off
00:04:06
i want to try on the sky dweller and see
00:04:11
it
00:04:12
on the
00:04:12
wrist so
00:04:15
here we go
00:04:17
the
00:04:17
blue dial oyster bracelet sky-dweller
00:04:21
fitted on the wrist i mean it you really
00:04:24
feel it it is um
00:04:26
pretty heavy yeah and and you can see if
00:04:30
you look in the side view
00:04:32
how
00:04:33
chunky this watch is
00:04:35
uh in comparison to a normal submariner
00:04:38
the normal submariner is somewhere
00:04:39
around 12 and a half
00:04:42
millimeters in thickness
00:04:44
while
00:04:45
this rolex sky-dweller is 14
00:04:49
millimeters in thickness yeah
00:04:52
yeah you can definitely
00:04:53
feel it when you're wearing it yeah it's
00:04:55
a chunky piece would you wear it with a
00:04:57
suit
00:04:58
no you can't fit under the cuff yeah
00:05:00
just like that
00:05:01
yeah you have a stretch stretch
00:05:03
stretch
00:05:06
no but
00:05:07
for me if you're asking the question if
00:05:09
you would wear it with a suit it's not a
00:05:11
typical dress watch for me so i would
00:05:13
definitely not wear it i couldn't even
00:05:14
pull this off if i wanted to with my
00:05:16
chicken wrist so yeah no it's uh yeah
00:05:21
i mean
00:05:22
obviously the reason for
00:05:25
its thickness it isn't just because
00:05:26
rolex likes to do it
00:05:28
thicker it is the movement that is
00:05:31
housed within the casing yeah of course
00:05:33
before we jump in and talk about how you
00:05:35
set this watch let me briefly take a
00:05:37
moment and thank our sponsor cronext for

something extra thank you so much for
00:06:08
sponsoring this video cronext thank you
00:06:11
all right alex let's talk about how you
00:06:13
actually set this watch because
00:06:16
it's a bit tricky it's a bit tricky and
00:06:18
to be honest with you i had no clue
00:06:20
either as a watch guy when i first saw
00:06:22
this i was like wow yeah okay i had no
00:06:25
idea
00:06:26
i saw it first time for like a couple of
00:06:28
years ago yeah it was pretty late for me
00:06:30
as well uh let me take the new one i'll
00:06:32
show you guys how it works
00:06:34
so the first mode is just winding
00:06:38
and when you pull out the crown another
00:06:40
step nothing happens okay
00:06:42
when you turn the bezel
00:06:44
like this
00:06:46
and use
00:06:47
the crown to set the date
00:06:51
turn it again
00:06:53
you will set the hour hand
00:06:56
and if you turn it one final time
00:06:59
then you move the minute and the gmt
00:07:02
hand
00:07:03
simultaneously
00:07:04
wow that was something else so actually
00:07:07
setting this timepiece is i mean you
00:07:10
need to really read the manual you have
00:07:12
to do your homework
00:07:14
exactly and so that was uh that was
00:07:17
actually really cool so how do you set
00:07:18
the months
00:07:20
you have to
00:07:21
turn the date ah so you need to
00:07:24
turn the date yeah every day
00:07:27
31 days until it jumps basically yep oh
00:07:30
wow okay that's amazing and the month is
00:07:34
displayed above the hour markers with
00:07:36
the red dot yeah so 12 o'clock is
00:07:38
december exactly one o'clock is january
00:07:40
and so on exactly that's pretty neat
00:07:43
yeah it's pretty cool yeah
00:07:44
i like it and
00:07:46
it's a it's a very impressive watch from
00:07:48
a technical standpoint yeah absolutely
00:07:50
all right so one of the biggest uh
00:07:53
talking points about the sky dweller is
00:07:55
obviously it's price tag the sky dweller
00:07:59
actually if you think back to 2017
00:08:03
when the steel version got introduced it
00:08:05
was one of the very first watches from
00:08:08
the rolex lineup that started this
00:08:11
premium hype yeah because i remember
00:08:13
when i saw the blue one i was like oh
00:08:15
wow i would really love to get this one
00:08:18
yeah and i directly contacted my ad
00:08:21
and the answer was basically well you
00:08:23
can't actually have this one we don't
00:08:25
get them in etc etc you know the drill
00:08:28
and then when you look at the secondary
00:08:30
market they're slowly starting to climb
00:08:32
up
00:08:33
this one when it came out it retailed at
00:08:36
around
00:08:37
14 000 us dollars and
00:08:40
already the secondary market was trading
00:08:43
around eighteen nineteen thousand
00:08:44
dollars back in 2017 when it got
00:08:47
introduced this was very new for an
00:08:49
absolutely new model yeah it was come
00:08:51
out kind of kind of strange feeling as
00:08:53
well that's yeah like what i can't even
00:08:55
get a discount
00:08:57
i can't even get it yeah yeah so
00:09:00
nowadays if you look actually at their
00:09:02
price tag so i'm gonna basically walk
00:09:04
you through these three models that we
00:09:05
have here in front of us
00:09:07
and obviously if you have a some
00:09:10
knowledge you know the steel with the
00:09:11
white gold one is the most expensive one
00:09:14
sitting out of these three
00:09:17
and if you look at the retail prices for
00:09:20
the two-tone models
00:09:21
they defer slightly
00:09:23
the jubilee bracelet is approximately
00:09:26
one thousand dollars more expensive than
00:09:29
the oyster bracelet
00:09:30
but if you look at the secondary market
00:09:33
the oyster bracelet is very very close
00:09:37
to its retail price you can actually go
00:09:40
on cronex and get this oyster bracelet
00:09:43
for retail price which is a fair price
00:09:45
point
00:09:46
but when it comes to the jubilee the
00:09:48
jubilee is trading approximately four
00:09:51
thousand dollars above its retail price
00:09:55
and
00:09:56
this is where it gets interesting
00:09:58
if you look at the rolex steel with
00:10:00
white gold version
00:10:02
the retail price is somewhere around 17
00:10:06
18 000 us dollars depending on where you
00:10:08
pick your retail price from
00:10:10
but the market value of this one is
00:10:13
closer to 28 to 30
00:10:16
000 us dollars for the steel and the
00:10:19
white gold version with the blue dial
00:10:21
with the blue dye yeah obviously yeah
00:10:23
which is crazy
00:10:25
and what is even more crazy is that the
00:10:28
new
00:10:29
we don't have it sitting here
00:10:30
but the new steel version
00:10:33
on the jubilee bracelet is trading at
00:10:37
somewhere around 30 32
00:10:40
34
00:10:41
000 us dollars which is nuts yeah it's
00:10:44
not but uh
00:10:46
as we know and that's
00:10:49
might be the case here is that we've
00:10:51
seen that and we've mentioned it before
00:10:54
always with the novelties yeah they
00:10:56
start very high yeah and find their way
00:10:58
down yeah and stabilize but i agree it's
00:11:02
it's really really crazy and the funny
00:11:04
thing is the retail price difference
00:11:06
between the
00:11:08
oyster
00:11:09
and
00:11:10
jubilee bracelet on steel the difference
00:11:13
is like two to three hundred dollars
00:11:15
yeah but on the two tones it's like a
00:11:17
thousand dollars it's more gold you
00:11:19
think that i don't know must be i mean
00:11:22
it must be much harder to do on there on
00:11:24
the gold version could be could be we
00:11:26
can only speculate we don't know but uh
00:11:28
yeah it's it's interesting
00:11:30
how else would they price their product
00:11:32
just like this
00:11:34
i don't know uh it could be something in
00:11:36
the production with the jubilee bracelet
00:11:38
the links or whatever yeah i mean it's
00:11:41
hard to tell but
00:11:43
yeah it's going to be really interesting
00:11:44
to see in a couple of years where we
00:11:46
have the sky dwelling absolutely
00:11:47
especially the steel version because
00:11:49
two-tone historically speaking hasn't
00:11:52
been the hottest models on the secondary
00:11:54
market yeah
00:11:55
so but keep in mind uh trends like that
00:11:58
are
00:11:59
[Music]
00:12:00
coming back
00:12:01
cyclical of course so you you literally
00:12:04
never know what's going to happen in the
00:12:06
future yeah
00:12:07
so alex uh let's round this up with the
00:12:10
simple question which one would i pick
00:12:13
no
00:12:14
why do we think these ones are trading
00:12:16
above retail is it
00:12:18
simply a shortage or
00:12:21
for the two-tone version on jubilee no i
00:12:23
mean generally generally the sky dwarf
00:12:25
line right yeah yeah but i think also i
00:12:28
mean the the blue dial version still has
00:12:32
been one of the horses that has been
00:12:34
dragging this hype train you know uh
00:12:36
forward and yeah pushing the prices up
00:12:39
so i don't know but i think it's a it's
00:12:41
the shortage and it's a cool watch with
00:12:43
cool complications uh it's a good
00:12:45
looking watch as well yeah i mean and uh
00:12:48
yeah it's a statement piece yeah
00:12:50
absolutely and uh
00:12:52
i think this is
00:12:53
uh
00:12:54
just the term big boy watch
00:12:56
understanding correctly i think you
00:12:58
really need to have a uh good wrist size
00:13:01
to be able to pull off the sky-dwellers
00:13:03
yeah our sizes um around six and a half
00:13:07
inches i mean we could pull it off uh
00:13:09
don't get me wrong but we're the type of
00:13:11
guys that likes to have slightly more
00:13:13
modern it looked like the sky dweller
00:13:15
was wearing me not the other way
00:13:17
yeah remember guys the watch should not
00:13:19
be wearing you
00:13:21
exactly yeah yeah no it's a chunky piece
00:13:24
it's cool it's exclusive it's everything
00:13:27
so yeah it takes all the boxes yeah
00:13:30
absolutely all right guys so thank you
00:13:32
