Everyone should thank Oisin for the work he’s doing. There is nobody on his level when it comes to KZhead content creation for watch collectors. Bravo 👏🏼
Yeah, he should go to Hollywood as a movie director and as an actor 😂 A little mytho the guy
I agree. There is nobody as big of an arse hole on KZhead as him.
Totally agree👍
TGV of Urban Gentry does somewhat, imho..
I don't think anyone has the on location (Italy,Rome) views etc that I think makes this channel great.
This is why Oisin is so important for watch community! He is not a mere ‘Watch Reviewer’ but a story teller and a glorious one at it! Fabulous video !
Oisin, you are a fantastic story teller! "When did it stop being a watch....and start being a circus?" You nailed it with that statement!
*Being a good storyteller is a trait of The Irish.*
When the world became a circus, then Rolex followed!
Not only Oisin, so are the replies in your thread. LOL I came for the conviction, but stayed for the fun.
The artistry that you create with your videos is unmatched. You truly have a gift. You are a true story teller Oisín.
Oh yeah he tells stories all right, acholics can always spin a story
Brilliant Oisin, thank you
@@ChrisJones-ki2bx Scruffy alcoholic. You forgot scruffy. 😎
@@ChrisJones-ki2bx too much deflection there.... The more fingers you point the more point back to you. Stay off the nose beers.
@@ChrisJones-ki2bx LOL
Life is good, and if you happen to be fortunate enough to have a luxury watch on your wrist, all the better. Live for today, for tomorrow is never promised. Beautiful video, Oisin!
I rarely comment on KZhead videos but I absolutely loved this piece of work of yours. I found myself nodding all the way through with what you were saying.
Now that Oisin was simply a work of art. I would put it out there that that was the definitive commentary of where Rolex is at. This is what you should be doing. Leave the bloody “Cartel” alone and focus on your amazing talent. You are and artist and a real watch commentator my friend. Great job!
Couldn’t agree more
Hi Oisin, i bought a 39mm Explorer in 2017 because it was reliable and rugged enough for mountain adventures. Only after did i realize about this whole bling Rolex circus so this video had me saying yes yes out loud while watching. British fella living in Japan enjoying your videos immensely. I watch other channels but get most excited when i see you`ve made a new video cos you have a gift of conveying the reality of what it would be like to wear the piece in daily life. Nice to see someone who has managed to handle being a successful youtuber with grace. Thank you for all your work and wish you all the best.
Great content again by Oisin , the scene that got me is when the music is at its most creative and the man on the gondeler was pointing at something for the passenger a very powerful and moving moment
Man, wearing this brand since 1983, you really tied it all together and took me down memory lane. Well done 👏
One of your best ever videos Oisin. Please don't ever go the same way as Rolex yourself.
Nicely done! Thank you for all the hard work that goes into it!
You are the best! I never get tired watching your videos over and over again. I share it with friends and relatives. You are a remarkable artist. Kudos to You! Live long ….stand proud.
Brilliant! One of your best videos yet. The soundtrack was spot-on as well as the great shots of the watch. And your commentary regarding the state of affairs with Rolex was right on the money. Keep up the good work.
oisin, i love your watchumentories. the timing, the images, the music, the script, the concepts. love it.
OMG, I now know I’m not the only one that feels this way!! The only 2 Rolex’s I own are the 214270 MKII and the 216570 Polar! What a stunning pair they make, 39mm matte black dial 3 hander and a 42mm 4 hand gloss white GMT. The perfect 2 watch collection!!! Absolutely pure and true just made a little bigger(modern) and more robust. Thanks for the AMAZING Fing videos!!!
Oisin, I haven’t watched the full video yet, but your opening montage is haunting! SO well done, so perceptive
I swear when u drop the final cuts Ush...it's giddy-fying - full cinematic experience! Loved seeing behind the scenes in your latest insta stories - would be awesome to see a full creative process of what u can share! Maestroclass!
I really like the montages. Makes me a little melancholy. Having witnessed the trials and tribulations you have been through recently, this video has a special resonance. I watched your early videos regularly. Went away for a year or so and returned last week to watch the livestreams with Paul. I was saddened. The ugliness of the petty world had breached the defenses. I am happy you made this video. Let those who dare throw stones have the stones to put themselves out there and take what they have showered upon others. I know that is not what your video is explicitly about, but that is how it lands with me. I appreciate the suffering that accompanies the success. One is never given something for free. The price is dear.
Fuck me, if I’d have known I would have told Oisin to get rid of his Rolex’s and move out of Venice and then people wouldn’t have got any blood clots, an earthquake, war or a train crash could have been prevented. Actually, I’m going to throw away my Calvin Klein underpants and stop the next famine in Africa.
@@Tobester_McDonkey Yet you still watch him despite your abundant compassion for all the suffering in the world. How do you find time and space in your heart?
Com’on Oisin They were not all tool watches They had the flashy day date since 1956! Even Paul Thorpe’s unborn great grand child probably can tell you that
Think you’ve been drinking too much whiskey lately chap
Rolex were THE tool watch brand. It’s just history sir. You can disagree with it but you’d be wrong.
Again, thank-you for a great video, commentary, and overall casual approach to this watch, and not commenting on the darn value. Its value is the pleasure in wearing it!
That was just fantastic. Beautifully put together and a great perspective. Bravo….encore!!!!! More please!!!!!!
After a 2 and a half year wait, I got the call last week on this stunning watch,Thanks Oisin for showing the history of Rolex watches with absolutely beautiful cinematography 👏
Wow, an almost tearful, dark presentation. I like it! This and the Zero West Battle of Britain S4 Spitfire video, two of the darkest yet wonderfully haunting videos from you. I am blown away...
Osin… your videos are some of the VERY BEST watch videos available on KZhead. Poignant, succinct, supremely well edited and narrated. Most of all… they are powerful insights into what brands like Rolex now reflect in our cultural values as a whole. Bravo Sir!
Brilliant episode Oisìn. And spot on as of your "observation" of where this bling circus is going. Fab storytelling with your narrating/filming/editing. Just as your Mutemath -
The scenery/movies overlayed with the music is simply stunning. I am in awe of this videos man. Keep it up.
Damn, Oisin. The symbolism of the artists combined with the music choice... hard not to see a parallel. Well done.
Legendary soprana Maria Callas was the greatest of all times...
“A watch made to withstand the pressures of immense depths, but will never see the ocean.” Just beautiful. 👏👏👏
and yet another fantastic piece of film making by the talented one, the somewhat scruffy pensive one, always ruminative! lovely lovely stuff. am sure you could've been a lecturer or professor at university of either film, music , watches or of all! nice thoughtful b roll cuts of the marina. macros of the watch are superb matey and the sound track is well placed along with the slow flowing pans and zooms. top notch. hope you're on again tomorrow night for your normal LS. getting another 226570 this summer. the chroma, the clasp, the bracelt fit so snuggly like none other. having a chilled shot of Lemoncello enjoying this cinematic escape. , didn't know there are over 20 brands that make it. almost bought Aperol but too much sugar in the house! lol. by the way you give Rolex props you would think they acknowledge your works of art in some way shape or form eh? i agree i think Rolex's are being made these days more for status symbols as it were, to sort of say one has arrived. the 216570, 226570, 126711 are my absolute favs out of all of the line period. question: what was that sort of hair on the tip of the orange gmt hand?
Man this is just beautiful 😍 this is what we 'tune' in for, the rest is flim flam. You rock in this format, no you are the best story teller, no you have a touch that's is just sublime 👌. Love this ❤️
It was a pleasure to watch this video. I subscribed a long ago, and I commented here and there for the good microphone, for the improved editing, and now I could comment on the improved background with lights, colours, and more studioish feeling it gives. The constant evolution you talk about is true, I really noticed it. And it offers a better viewing experience for us. Bravo!
18:45 Meanwhile in Oisin's "Rolex datejust in Bologna" video...... "I've been wanting something from the side of the catalog that's very sparkly, very high society..." 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Geddy Lee what a legend, new found respect after that shout out
From one Celt to another, downing a wee McCallan and wearing the Polar, watching your artwork in the mountains of Norway. Cheers!, Alex.
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Thanks Oisin. This is an excellent and deep portrayal of the Rolex brand and the explorer symbol. The music, image, narratives perfectly paint the Rolex story!
Masterpiece. Film and watch.
Beautiful work sir Bravo👏🏻
Great video....that's why I went with the new Ranger. It still feels like a tool watch, and Tudor kept true to the original. In person, it's such a great everyday watch. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS!!!
I found it quite amusing that after watching your youtube video the video below was Paul Thorpe looking at some bling watches at his friends store 😂
This never gets old 💯💯💯. Keep it coming‼️‼️‼️
Beautifully shot and profound messaging. Thank you for the effort you put into that!
Oisin, Kudos on another excellent production; "mania"...exactly; the shot of the piece with the sunset in the background seemed eerily prophetic. Best, M
My good man, I have to say, this was not a watch video, but a piece of art. Thank you for not churning out one of those podcast style affairs and giving us something with some depth and artistic merit. Quite literally the best watch video I have ever watched - and not because of the topic (I own the 226570), but the presentation of the work. That’s a follow from me. Also, could you do one on the sea master 50th anniversary gmt - I always feel like its a forgotten masterpiece.
This was probably one of, if not the best video on your channel. Hang on, maybe even the most enjoyable and interesting watch video I’ve ever seen on KZhead! Honestly, keep up the good work, hats off to ya! 👍👏👏👏
Wow Oisin, Beautiful video with lovely music...you are definitely on another level with great taste & eye, keep up...love it !!!
Love the Polar, loved the video. Thank you for the amazing production.
So many subtle cool effects. The seagull flying over the costumed woman. The end with the lume toggle and playback speed. Brilliant.
The concept and execution of your stories and resulting videos is immaculate. Thank you again for hitting the nail on the head. It has gotten a ridiculous circus indeed. I‘d love to own a GMT Master II. But hey, just visiting a random AD and completing a purchase at retail……dream on. For some reason, Rolex must have an unlimited supply of Unobtainium. And no way in hell would I ever bite on their Certified Pre-Owned scam. Love you channel, like your thoughts and ideas. Thanks for your content. Long live the TWC
OOM goes all Adam Curtis :) Good video.
I have a few Rolex, this one included. It is my daily tool watch, and has the scratches to prove it. It’s bathed in sea water, fish blood, deer guts, sand sweat and ketchup. It is a true beast, and I love it.
I've followed your channel off and on since shortly after Edward Van Halen died, and your video about him popped up on my feed. Similarly, this video unexpectedly crossed my path today. Watching your work, I remembered that some of us possess talents that exceed the abilities of most. What you have done here is a work of art. I am astonished.
Your photography narration and storytelling is enviable. Good work.
Your content is just top notch. Informative, creative, entertaining, soothing. Very talented and appreciate what you do and put out for us all. Thank you!
Bravo Oisin! What a brilliant video. You really did manage to put across the sentiments that I have been feeling about Rolex as a brand for a long time. They are not worn as the tool Watches they were built as now. With the prices they demand and the fact that they are hard to buy at retail has elevated Rolex to Jewellery instead. Their little brother Tudor has now to pick up the tool Watch baton and did so a while back I feel, as soon as the Pelagos was released. Again, a brilliant video here. Top content! ✊
One of your best videos to date. The E2 has always been my favorite Rolex. I especially loved the comparison to the Rickenbacker bass.
Simply the best ExII video I have ever seen. He has exposed the spirit of the watch so I had to have it. Now it is my only watch, thank you so much.
Oisin, your creativity is unmatched…thank you for the great content..always looking forward to your content… best yet…
Great storytelling that was fun to watch... no pun intended. People who aren't into watches would love this just the same. Great job, mate.
I’ve enjoyed all your videos, but, Damn! This was so well put together. Thank you for your content.
Videos of this quality will always keep demand for the vintage sports watches moving forward. Top marks mate for production
This is an absolutely beautifully made video, I just recently bought these myself for myself with the black dial and I truly look at this watch the same way you do. I wanted a Rolex without the bling to wear everyday and pass to my grandson some day. Absolutely wonderful video.
Mate. I think you need to make more videos like this for each Rolex watch. These are too good. You’ve had me in a trance for 20 minutes.
Fantastic Oisin. RM Williams boots made for harsh Australian outback conditions are now a staple in boardrooms, there are many examples and I agree with everything you said. Even actual tool brands such as Snap On are now a status symbol in the garage.
The advertisement for the 6062 at 5:58 is incredible. That is my all time favorite rolex watch. It's too bad there is no equivalent today. Such a cool vintage piece.
Oisin, your content is second to none. Here is to Rolex Eplorer II and Rickenbacker Jetglo; may they remain true to themselves, always. 🥂
Just got my Polar yesterday from the AD after waiting patiently for two years. This is my first Rolex and my grail for EXACTLY the reasons reflected in this video. Love it.
Honestly, one of the best you tube videos I ever saw!! I’d never thought of Rolex as a sell Out! I do now!! 🙏
Lately I've been getting bored with KZhead watch videos. This one however was fantastic. I love it, keep them coming
Rolex should give you a watch of your picking for this magnificent presentation but alas we can only dream. I really enjoyed this thank you 👍🏻
This is truly a video that rivals the videos on t the history Channel. Years from now future watch collectors will reference these videos. Bravo! The stories you.creat are magnificent ! Bravo
Great video as always. Bought my first Rolex in 1989, GMT Master (16750) and wore it on alert (ICBM Ops), married in it, all 4 kids born while wearing it. It will always be a do everything watch to me. Still a tough tool if you choose to let it be one. Cheers,
Videos getting better and better as time goes by. Thanks Oisin.
Amazing footage! Thanks for your work Oisín! I have the black dial 216570 and love it- they nailed the proportions in this one.
EXCELLENT video Oisin! Your story telling is superb!!!
Absolutely brilliantly crafted video for those that love watches! Great edits too! "When did it stop being a watch....and start being a circus?" Perfect statement! Forget all the shouting from one particular watch dealer. I'm sure most real watch lovers will get bord of that soon...This content is pure quality! Keep it coming.
This is your best video Oisin. Like a documentary. I really enjoyed this.
I applaud and curse you, Oisin. I love your high production videos. I hate you personally because your passionate, brilliant, art has me gripped in a trance when I have other shit to do. I raise a glass to you, my distant friend.
The explorer 2 polar was the first Rolex that I fell in love with, although I couldn’t afford one at that time, I opted for an explorer 214270 mk2. I learned to love and appreciate that watch for what it was, but still long for the 2165270. A true GMT that can hold its own in any situation. Beautiful video Oisin. 👏👏👏
A fine eulogy for the brand. My Exp II is the singular Rolex in my collection now, and you nailed why.
Great use of extracts from one of my favourite scores of the last two decades. Greenwood's a genius.
Bravo. The lume shot at the end 👏 If anybody else tried to create content like this it would probably be lame, but this 👌
Wow this was so good. What an incredible example of what is happening with Rolex.
Excellent video!! Well put together, just a really good video👏👏. Well done sir.
Just when I thought I was out, you brought me back in! ❤
Great content… also saw your comments over at Anthony’s channel (tpg) about the confiscated watch. Valid points!
Back to the roots. Beautiful Video Oisin, once again. Thanks for your great work? Art?👍❤
Loved this… back to doing what you do best Oisin 👍
wow, absolutely fantastic video, and perfectly sums up the journey of Rolex from a tool watch to where we are today
What a dynamite piece - this is what you do - dammit man, this is why I subscribed - just when I thought I was out, you pulled me back in. 👏🏽👏🏽bravo sir 🍻
You still have the best watch channel out there. Beautiful video Oisin.
Beautiful video - made me fall in love with my EXP2 all over again. I agree, in the era of precious metals and precious stones, it’s a fresh of breath air owning and holding a watch that is true to its heritage….loved the journey you just took me on. Cheers….🥂
You make content that excites parts of my brain that nobody else can. Thanks mate 👍
And a tip of the hat again, to another masterpiece work of art. You can tell a story and paint a canvas in a magical magnetic way. Thank you sir!
Top shelf video man! I play bass as well, and truly appreciate and relate to the Rickenbacker comparison. Thanks!!
What a wonderful video. You are so spot on with the way Rolex have gone. Fantastic. Thank you
I can safely say that Oisín makes THE most beautiful You Tube watch content bar none, and probably some of the nicest in ANY genre. Thank you, Oisín!
Great stuff Oisin. Greenwood, Venice, stunning shots and an Explorer 2 polar..whats not to like 👍 Thank you.
The Editing and the way the music is selected and done is on parr with some of the big studios. The content is accurate and deep. We can fool ourselves.. but Rolex is now a status symbol and has a marketing department that is on point.
Wow, another “stunner.” The impact of this video has now taken me down a few notches on my waiting list for the Exp II Polar. 😂
