$40,000 Rolex Submariner. Why?

Ғылым және технология

Why would someone buy a $40,000 white gold Rolex Submariner and why would I make a video about it.

    A sensible commentary about an nonsensical object. To me, Rolex submariner represent the unassuming simplicity in perfect proportion that achieved grand recognition through years of unwavering adherence to its design and craftsmanship philosophy. Hypothetically speaking, even if someone somehow had acquired the foresight into the future, they wouldn't have the discipline to stick to the formula. But Rolex did, so did Coca Cola, and Apple to some extend. The hype, the marketing craze and the association with shallow vulgar snobbery and greed are the by product of human psyche when faced with something of value. Is gold evil? No, gold is just gold. Is Rolex bad? No, Rolex is just Rolex. The way people react to these objects shows more about people than the object itself.

    As some KZread dude stated corretly a while ago: "We all like to talk about mechincal, luxury watches being tools. But come on, the only real utility a modern Daytona has, is to show people that you have money." I think, 1,5 year later, you can say this about almost every Rolex and that's a pretty sad story! Nevertheless, I like the new sub way more with the black dials, if it's this whitegold version, or also the steel one with the green bezel. I will never understand the use of sunray dials for "tool watches" but okay, to each his own.

    4:02 It was actually 40.2 to 40.5. they rounded down to 40 on the one and rounded up to 41 on the other. The size difference isn't that big. The bigger difference was the shape of the lugs, the fact that the bracelet is wider, and that they updated to the new 3235 movement.

    Nice video! I REALLY like this sub and when I think about potentially getting a full precios medal watch I always tend to lean toward the white gold for the same reason you stated. It’s for the wearer not the onlooker. I like that normal people will think it is a steal watch but to me I know what it is and to the special few that KNOW will really appreciate! I also think steal and white gold look best on me. You also get the benefit of laying under the radar for thiefs that are just looking for that GOLD. Beautiful shot of the watch and I like the side by side of the BLNR to compare the blues. VERY SIMILAR. Great content
