Part 2: Bonding with the Rolex Submariner and what I would consider buying.
Having a Typhoon chat whilst my flight to Manila was cancelled. Touching on the Rolex Daytona and the Philippines in general.

There is no perfect Sub. But if someone owns a Submariner (any Sub), they are part of a very cool club. I have the newest model, 2023 purchase. The bezel is shiny, and ideally if it was matte ceramic it would look like more of a tool watch. However, there is anti-reflective coating under the crystal. The 14060M has a great bezel and proportions, but man that crystal is as shiny and reflective as the new ceramic bezels! The 14060M also doesn’t have glidelock, which is such an amazing innovation. The perfect Submariner would be the current model in the same size as the 14060M, with an aluminium bezel.

I have to agree with this. Same proportions, matte ceramic, 39.5 to 40mm... OooOoh la la

Still the best watch channel out there. Nice strap choice, I’m considering picking one up for my 114060 but the bracelet taper is too delicious…

Good point about nobody customizing their Rolex anymore even with just a strap change. Unfortunately, most people that wear Rolex these days aren’t even into watches just the status so they never get taken off the bracelet like you’re doing.

Hi Michael. I discovered your channel yesterday (finally algorithm shows something interesting) and I’ve already binge-watched almost everything on it. Do you mind me asking what do you do for living? I am also interested in your lifting journey. Appreciate your content mate.

Thanks for the content, really like the strap on your sub, looks super good! Btw, did you play any pool against anyone there? The best pool players are from the Philippines, i really would like to go there once.

Is a polished Rolex a deal breaker for you? Even if it's polished well? Love your channel dude

good question mate. I used to never mind polished watches, now I do a little more. I would still buy polished as long as it has been done well, and the price is reflective of a polished piece.

Would you consider a four digit reference daytona? or too expensive / flimsy to be a daily wearer?

Do you still wear your black SMP300 or did you end up selling it?
