 Be Wary of Paying Inflated Prices... Dec 11, 2005
By Tobywon
"An Educator...."
I do not own a Rolex Submariner, but I do fancy watches and know something about the brand. Potential buyers should know that Rolex is VERY aggressive about prohibiting the sale of their watches over the internet and through other non-authorized avenues. Rolex does not discount, nor do they allow their AD's to discount, especially on their "base" models: Submariner, Explorer, GMT, and Sea Dweller. Consequently, many grey-market dealers do not deal in Rolexes, or they smudge the serial numbers to hide the source of the watches. Do not buy from such dealers; not only is the origin of the watch dubious, but Rolex will not service watches bought from non-traditional sources. Customers should also be on the lookout for high-grade fakes, some even using discarded parts from real Rolex watches.
I noticed that there is a Rolex Submariner being advertised on Amazon for more than its present retail price. While I have full confidence that sellers operating through Amazon are honest and legitimate, I encourage potential buyers to learn about the brand, the dealer and the history of the watch. When you're spending thousands on a watch, you're buying something more than a wrist ornament. You're buying an image, but more importantly, you're buying a fine piece of enginering made manifest in the watch's movement. Educate yourself about the watch and its legacy--you're buying into history.

 For a male baby boomer, this is probably the ultimate watch Dec 19, 2004
By D. Ross
"http://directorblue.blogspot.com"
The James Bond books and movies of my youth contained some prominent (and probably free) product placement for Rolex. Specifically, 007 utilized a modified stainless steel Rolex Submariner wristwatch to scuba dive, garrote bad guys, and look the part of a sophisticate at black-tie affairs. As a youth, I was taken with all of this.
Years later, for my 30th birthday, I was fortunate enough to take possession of a brand new Submariner. I wear it to this day, every day, and its pros far outweigh its cons:
To the good: the sapphire crystal is literally indestructible, as is the Oyster foundation. The stainless steel watch is suitable for serious business attire without being overly glitzy. And yet those into watches recognize it for what it is: a male baby-boomer's favorite.
On the negative side: it has run consistently fast (about two minutes a month) since the day I bought it. Its weight is staggeringly heavy and does take some getting used to (don't try and throw a punch even playfully with a Sub on - you'll end up cutting the back of your hand as the winding crown slams into it).
If you're ever in a jam, the Sub is useful as hard currency throughout the world. All in all, I'd buy a replacement in a heartbeat.

A classic wrist watch, an icon of style, mechanical perfection Jul 23, 2005
By Dom Miliano
I bought my Submariner years ago when it represented a month's salary - yes, I had to have it. I have worn it for over 25 years and it's always been in style and it keeps very, very good time. Despite it's bulk (made well ahead of the current >40mm chunk of metal watch trend) this Rolex is a watch you can wear every day without pain. The chronometer certification ensures that it will be as accurate as any mechanical watch can be. The Rolex name says that it will run well for years and years. I like the simple dial - very easy to read and the bubble over the date is just plain cool. The only down side is that there are cosmetically perfect copies from China out there so if you need to use a watch to impress people, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you desire one of the world's greatest timepieces, look no further.

Untimate Dependability Feb 11, 2007
By Avid
Also having read the original James Bond books as a lad, I was taken with Bond's Rolex Submariner. Later, as a US Marine, I went to scuba school. Upon graduation, I received the ultimate men's watch. That watch went with me to more than two years in Viet Nam and I still have it to this day. It's a classic, it's dependable and it's tough. What more needs to be said?

Indestructable. The Superman of wristwatches. Jul 27, 2006
By David W. Groat
"Groatski"
I've owned my Submariner Date for about seven years now, and I am not gentle with my timepieces. It's been covered in tar and resin, immersed in a variety of foul liquids, repeatedly assaulted with fine grade sand (one of the WORST things you can do to any mechanical device), dropped, banged, poked, prodded and frozen. And still, after a light scrubbing with soapy water and a toothbrush, it would fit right in on the red carped of the Oscars. It wouldn't surprise me if it were bullet-proof as well. In particular I'm amazed at the indestructability of the sapphire crystal, which is still completely flawless even after all the abuse it's received. The `cyclops eye' over the date window seems to get the worst of it and it's scratch free. Other than to repair a broken bracelet clasp it has never been serviced. I've heard some people criticize how heavy and bulky it is, but you're not going to find a wafer-thin `elegant' timepiece that will pass the tests this one will.
In addition to it's ruggedness it is also stylish, accurate (2 min. per month), waterproof, retains its value, and has tons of snob appeal. It's not simply a watch, it's an heirloom. This watch will be looking and running strong when my grandson inherits it. Or I may just decide to be buried with it.
The dial and hands contrast sufficiently to make this a very easy watch to read. I did have a small issue with the fact that there weren't any actual numbers around the dial, but I got over it. At least it's not like one of those massively complicated chronographs that tell you such vital information as the month and phase of the moon. If you don't know that, then you're probably not the type to wear a watch anyway.
Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
