Daytona was a turd for many years. Since inception it was the most sought after Rolex. My goodness....

I like how he says rolex has outperformed stocks over the last 10 years. Newsflash he is wrongo.

Never heard of Shaftel Diamonds. Looked at their site, not an AD, no mention of selling watches on their site at all. I guess the Houston AD’s didn’t want to participate in this, not sure how they landed on this guy. Not a great choice IMO.

Lifelong Houstonian until 2021, I’ve never heard of Shaftel Diamonds either. What a waste of TV time.

What do you expect? It's Fox. They never allow themselves to get burdened with facts.

As media reporting, it’s a fairly accurate assessment of what and why Rolex is on fire to the general public that doesn’t have a clue.

I saw it. I wanted them to get more into references, but they only covered the Daytona and Hulk.

Rolex has officially jumped the shark. Time to offload. It's happening!

AP Royal Oak? One of the comments under the video mentioned that was what it was. Found the store site and they list 3 pre owned Rolex watches.

That’s the kind of dealer where they will not even be able to identify AAA grade fakes from real ones but are going to charge you real watch prices. If people on TRF know more about the products, that shows how much these people actually know about what they are selling….

If that news article about rolex watches offended you snowflakes? This one is really going to make you upset. For some reason, they don't bother me, but I get all my watches from an AD, so I like that the prices are higher. But i've been buying watches before they became trendy.

Beautiful segment. Bravo!

I am proud we’ve turned the page from working class scrubs who need a wrist clock to know when to leave the office (it’s always 7pm) to proper investors (smart, better, not working poor).

Wow!!! You get your watches from a real AD, that’s so impressive. I think most of us chumps here just pay double at the greys and just feel fortunate doing so.
