They Get Closer To San Martin Than Any Other Brand

Have IXDAO just made a Rolex homage watch that is better than the original Rolex? YES....but then you have to remember the original Rolex was launched in 1954 and watch making has come along way since then so it really is no surprise the new IXDAO is better than the original Rolex.

Here is an affiliate link to the watch featured in this video.

MY OTHER YOUTUBE CHANNEL

WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use YouTubes lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and YouTube deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

The original Rolex 6542 was made in 1954 and watch making has come a long was way since then so it’s no surprise the 2024 homage is better!

[pizzahotline_]

lovely watch but that faux- tina completley ruines it.

[brianmsahin]

It's a good looking watch Gary, of course that's all down to the original and as you can't get the original anymore, this is worth a look.

[SenerS]

Not bad, I wish they made a 40mm size dial version with longer clasp and cyclops size a bit bigger.

[jacc]

Nice looking watch. I love the sheen you get with 904L steel. I don’t know why more companies don’t use it. I know it’s more difficult to work with but if Chinese companies can do it so can other more established companies. A Grand Seiko in this steel would be awesome!

[masudashizue]

Good. If what you say is true, I won't ever have to save up money for a Rolex anymore.

[James]

Nice clickbait title...you got me, I'll admit it.

[htschultz]

who else makes a vintage GMT Rolex homage like this that might be better and worth considering?

[billgrisenthwaite]

I love the retro design, could I wear this of course I would

[jontpt]

I'm definitely a Fan of 6542, though 😂

[Handlebar-MustDash]

The cyclops lens is badly out of alignment. For this price they should at least get that right.

[SteelAddicted]

I feel like you need a smoking jacket and a pipe to go with this one. Im a fan.

[Nickgantz]

It looks fantastic, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get behind the brand name to purchase one.

[Steve-K.G.]

It's now in my basket, for £273 😊

[nedflanders]

Remove the “fans of 6542” and “caller gmt” lines from the dial. Dilute that faux patina a lot, so it’s more creamy off-white instead of beige, and give us micro adjust on the bracelet. All for $50 less. IXDAO would literally be printing money if they did this.

3x "average size wrist". How many inches or cm so we don't have to guess?

[laurencehogg]

How comforting it was to hear your reassuring verbage after a kack day at work. And I really like this semi-structured chatty review style. Top marks that man.

[spring]

Gary, openly saying it's a Rolex Homage, unusual for you, has something changed in the world of YouTube?

How are we supposed to pronounce their name?
