Not all Rolex watches are created equal, and understanding the seven levels of Rolex can mean the difference between a smart purchase and an expensive mistake. Whether you are buying your first Rolex or your fifteenth, knowing exactly what you are paying for at each tier changes everything.

When will AI learn how to pronounce Submariner correctly?

I think "The 7 Levels of Casio Watches" would be more relevant for me :)

Correction to the AI in this video. The Rolex Daytona that sold at Philips Auction House was one of 2 of Paul newsman’s personal watches . It sold for 17.5 million dollars. One of his daughters was at the auction.

I'm not a watch guy, but I really like the Oyster Perpetual 41 in blue. It's plain and simple!

Don’t know much about watches but based on aesthetics I love Cellini, explorer 2 and yacht master

What you forgot is the air king 116900;126900 is built in the old 40mm casing of the milgauss 116400 so it has the same electromagnetic defense properties

I had to wait for several months until my AD got me into Level 1. A silver dial OP 41 for which i paid $8,000 in 2024.

I bought a new Explorer in 2023 at the AD. I wear it daily. Yep, the watch on your wrist.

Using a Submariner no-date since 1995 and it’s a great watch design. Original was a forces-issued (pre-owned and well-used) 5513 which was damaged beyond economical repair at work and replaced with a four-line 14060M. Well-used and serviced and (when required) repaired every 5 years.

Though I'm surprised that it was not mentioned, the previous generation Air-King, ref. 116900(MRSP: $7,450), has the same anti-magnetic protection and movement as the Milgauss(2023 MRSP: $9300).
Both used the Cal. 3131, a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, and a soft iron shield. However, the new generation Air-King, ref. 126900, achieves anti-magnetism through updated movement components, Cal. 3230, rather than the soft iron cage.
While the soft-iron cage was removed in the current gen Air King(Ref. 126900, MRSP: $8150)
Rolex states that the updated movement, Cal. 3230, provides superior magnetic resistance, versus the hair spring and cage design, giving the current gen Air King the exact same anti-magnetic properties as the last gen Air King and the Milgauss, withstanding up to 1,000 gauss.
The current gen Air King is absolutely THE best "Bang for your Buck" Rolex, with features and a movement found in references costing thousands more!!
The video just barely touched on the value of the Air King or its greatest features!!

Timex Ironman, after rebuilding my very expensive mechanical watch 3 separate times.

For me, personally, the only Rolex models that I find interesting are the Oyster Perpetual, Air King and the Milgauss. I have an inhereited Datejust and love it for what it means to me. But overall, Rolex don't move me. While I won't, if I were ever tempted and able to spend over $30,000 on a watch, I can think of many brands I'd rather have. Lange as just one example.
