    The only watch you'll ever need. Looks good while wearing shorts and sandals, looks good while wearing a tuxedo. Still looks new 30 years after I first put it on my wrist. I'm 57 and it's one of about three things in my life I've never had second thoughts about buying.

    Solid review, I like the sound of the platinum PVD filled graduation on the ceramic bezel, that's exactly the process they use to fill the laser cut makers and cardinal plots. They even went with true 18K white gold for all hour makers and hands instead of microns of plating. I'm loving mine true sub 126040 and Starbucks.

    I recently reached out to my local Rolex authorized dealer and ask them about this specific watch Rolex submariner. They replied back and told me they could add me to their four year waiting list. I finally worked hard and made it to the point where I could afford this watch and wear it every day. It’s a good thing it’s not My only watch. Last year I purchased a new Omega SMP 300m on steel strap. It’s a phenomenal watch no regrets

    I don't understand; you are showing the older, chunky-lug Sub. That was discontinued in 2019. The new one looks better and has a more advanced movement.

    the Tudor black bay 58 is the only approved homage to rolex with vintage diver specs. I prefer the bb58 over this clunky brick but I prefer the bracelet on the Rolex.

    I would recommend the "no date" version. The very first Submariners were no dates. And: when diving no one needs the date, in as a tool and basic watch the date can be omitted.

    Super case was a horrible design move by Rolex. Really glad they corrected it with the new sub. I’ve owned the 114060 and 124060, and the 124060 is soo much better.

    Nah, too thick. The old one isn't so bad but the new one is too big and thick, the Sub looks so much more refined and stylish. You'll never need the extra water resistance either. And no, I don't have small wrists (7.75 inch - 18.5cm)
