If Subs ever become readily available at retail again, I'll join you on the bandwagon. The nodate really is a killer watch, but I don't pay over retail for anything, and I'm not going to play AD games.

Hi Rob ...Kevin from new Zealand, I have had the same experience with my explorer 214270, I had seikos, orients ,and also casios and even an Oris ...I picked up my Rolex new from the ad in 2019, I paid full retail ,ever since that day I have fallen in love with it ...I have sold of all my watches ..all except the Casio g shock which is my daily beater ..I could not be happier...it's doubled in value since the purchase and I really don't care ...I wear it 4 days out of 7
I bought a Kermit in 2009 for $5,500….kind of stopped wearing it when it crossed the $10,000 mark.
Rob, I wear my sub in the shower whilst I was watching your video. Once you go up in price range and get a feel of a quality watch, it's hard to come back down to micro brands and even every day seikos. You feel the difference in the metal and bracelet etc. Much like drinking a single malt. After a few different single malt whisky, than you go back to the everyday entry brand whisky, you taste the difference and you find it hard to down the entry brand whisky.

I don’t. Yes I did feel the superior quality of the two Rolexes I had, but in the end, overall it wasn’t fun for me wearing such expensive time pieces (and potential investments) in my day to day activity. Not to mention having a bigger collection of luxury watches is not something I could afford. I eventually sold them when I needed some money, but never been tempted to buy another one again, even now after 10 years, I got back to $50 to $1000 watches and I’m having so much fun, not tempted at all with higher end luxury watches. And even if I did I would not buy a Rolex now with the prices just because I’m not stupid. Rob had the opportunity to buy it at a reasonable price so that’s ok. Most people don’t.
If rolex lost 30% value I wonder how many people would really want them, Technically there great but they are very Generic. Wouldn’t pass one up at retail though😬

Hi Rob, well done on wearing any watch for that period of time! I’ve owned my 114060 since 2015. It was an engagement present and I’ve worn it mainly on family occasions and holidays over the past 6 years, hence it’s still in great condition and it still feels special when I wear it. l would love to wear it more regularly but I work in an environment where people don’t get paid an awful lot and I guess I feel it puts distance between my co-workers and I given the brand image. I also like to try out other watches, so it’s often easy to pass over the Rolex in favour of something else. Your timing is uncanny because I’ve actually been wearing it daily this week as an experiment to see if I can get over my hesitation and wear it more regularly. After all, I hope to pass it to my son one day and I’d like him to remember me wearing it. Be interesting to see if your feelings change over time, but for now, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Hearing your experience, I’m encouraged to do the same.. All the best, Craig 🏴

I think it’s great that you’re just wearing your Sub rather then keeping it in its box in a drawer & every now & again opening the drawer & box & having a moment! Good luck to you! That’s what the watch has been made for right?
Now it’s official!! It’s called a “Watch Fast”! Thanks for all the great videos! I love your channel!⌚️
It’s the most boring and uninteresting watch I could imagine. You got so many beautiful and unique watches coming in, I’m wondering what’s really drawing you to it. Now vintage Rolex watches are awesome, but this Sub looks like a cold Corporate checklist to me. As long as you truly happy though, who cares?

I'm only a few years into the watch journey, I see a lot of similarities between Rolex and Apple. Apple distilled their design into what Johnny Ive always called its "essential" form. The problem becomes then, where do you go after that? the designs can feel sort of stuck, or outdated yet people still love them. I'd love to understand this from a psychology of design perspective because both companies make a lot of money doing it!
@retardinho5048

@@randymilano I see what you mean. But the difference is, that Apple products do have an actual purpose, so the design has to make a compromise between what’s efficient and what people like. Rolex on the other hand creates mechanical watches, which frankly don’t really have an utility purpose, but are more of a luxury accessory. No one needs to rely on a mechanical watch for time telling. They don’t have the Same difficulties like Apple and can freely design watches the way they like, as long as the movement fits in.

Looks great. Congrats!
Interesting video… I’ve been starting my watch collection journey… ( thanks Dirk) and I definitely am enjoying the the different tiers and find myself going up and up in price of stuff I look at .. I’m in no hurry to reach the top tier fast.. the fun of collecting is starting from the bottom up. Been collecting knives for 10 years and seems like my experience in that hobby is accelerating my watch research and collecting process.. not good ! 😂 that’s a beautiful piece.. I definitely want at least one nice watch one day…thanks for the video
Been there done that (ref. 16610) back in the 1990s. Sold it for more than I paid for it, and I was rough on the thing. It's a great mechanical watch, no doubt about it, but five years was enough for me. And I definitely do not miss that Rolex service fee!

I live and work in an area where that’s not an issue. When I travel so far have not put myself in a spot to be a victim.
I totally feel what you’re saying here. I appreciate its many many runs of the ladder down from a Rolex but I recently bought my first Swiss watch when I picked up an Oris Big Crown ProPilot last month. I’m an ordinary guy with a very average income so for years I never thought I’d ever go beyond entry to mid level watches from Seiko and G Shock etc. But like the story about the frog in the pot who doesn’t realise the water is boiling if you turn the heat up slowly enough, this hobby has a way of sneaking up on you 😂🐸 I’m currently on day 36 of my unintentional watchfast with the Oris. I just can’t seem to take it off! I still love and appreciate the other watches in my collection, they just aren’t the Oris so they’re all sitting in the watch box. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to make the step into Rolex land but it’s actually kind of comforting to know that if I do, it’ll actually be worth it, if you see what I mean. Because if I feel like I do with a humble Oris, the feeling of going on that journey with watches and finally getting an actual Rolex must be a so out of this world! Congratulations on scoring such an incredible watch 🥃

I think the 40mm dive65 is an amazing watch. True retro styling.
Beautiful time piece.
Beautiful watch! And that accuracy is outstanding! I wear my watches & I don't worship them. When my watches someday go to my kids, I want them to see the scratches & marks as proof that my watches were worn & loved by me, and that they were with me during all my adventures.
My Casio Frogman GWF-1000 cured me. But not until I had three very expensive watches in my collection. I don't wear them anymore and only wear the Frog. It is strange how all this obsessive stuff works.
I hear ya Rob! I’ve enjoyed tons of watches, and I own many Rolex sports watches. The 124060 broke me. Over the last year my Daytona’s and GMTs and other watches have been collecting dust due to the new Sub.
How do you like the larger clasp?
I love my SPB143, it cured me of my search for the perfect Seiko for me. But after handling the BB58, Submariner, and Seadweller in person and trying them all on, I wouldn’t pass up any of those three at retail. The step up in quality, feel, and timeless value is apparent. It’s like going from a Toyota Camry up to a Porsche Cayenne. Ive driven both and it’s just this understated sense of a heightened experience being in one versus the other. The workmanship and wearing experience definitely overshadows what people falsely believe is a markup for marketing. Don’t knock it until you try it.
I think it did both with you Rob😂👍 Rolex have a excellent marketing department that's for sure buddy 👍😎
I just watched this video and laughed because you sound very similar to what I'm experiencing. I bought a BB58 Blue a short while ago and I don't wear anything else in my collection...And I have some very nice pieces. I want to buy a new watch. I look everyday. I have money just sitting there screaming to be spent. But I continue to look down at my wrist and say, "nope...not while I have this." I have NEVER had a feeling like this about a watch. Until your video, I was thinking that I was just going through a phase...and maybe I am...but it sure feels different this time. I've read a few of the other comments...and maybe, as some have said, that it's just a longer than average "honeymoon period." Possibly. But the next watch (and I'm sure, eventually, there will be a "next watch") is REALLY going to have a lot to live up to compared to this experience. I haven't lost the drive, or love, for the hobby. It's just very calming right now.
I've had the same thought. Would I ever again wear the vintage and mid priced watches that I've aquired over the years? But alas I have too many other hobbies (motorcycles, target shooting, reloading) that suck up my funds so it's not a concern for now.
The classic journey of every watch youtuber. Start low and end up rolex.
You're just having an extended period of honeymoon fase with this piece because you put down so much money for it. In the end we all know you will go back to wearing square G shocks because as you said when there is a legitimate concern that you will damage the Rolex then you won't put it on (and what watch will have to step in to occupy that juicy wrist space?)

Fantastic iconic watch. Had mine a couple years. Just ticks all my boxes.
My sub keeps perfect time. I need to check it on the timegrapher but the time is crazy good. The only problem is the message it sends out to people. So I don't always wear it depending on where I'm going.
Wish there was a cure. Or do I….? One and done…? One day maybe…? For now I’ll keep saving for the next one…. All the best Rob! Dave🇦🇺

My most expensive watch is a Tudor Blackbay Heritage and I wear it almost every day. It's a great everyday watch. Also no date but I am always in front of a computer anyway. These things are meant to be worn and I love wearing mine. My other main watch is an Aquaterra which is also a great daily. However, at my age (42) I notice it is harder to see the date and the cyclops on a datejust seems more appealing now. (In the last 12 months I have had to buy a bunch of readers and they are now all over the house.)

I wanted a Rolex Submariner for years starting in my early 20s. Recently I ended up buying a 1997 Tudor Sub 79190. I love it, and it has enough similarities to satisfy the Rolex Sub itch. I may get a Rolex Sub in the future, but I still get irriated with the counterfeit market out there. It shouldn't matter if some people will assume your Rolex is a fake, but it does seem to bother me. Also, I'd rather have someone say "oh, it that a Rolex?", and I'm like no it's a Tudor. Most people don't know Tudor like they would Rolex. I'm 46 now, maybe at 50 I'd get an Explorer 1 or a Submariner. I'd be able to rationalize the purchase. Liked the pre-41mm maxi case too. Not a fan of the increasing size trend, aside from the new 36mm Explorer...which I like very much.
this is how it was for me when I picked up my new 2021 speedmaster. I havent worn any of my other watches since (during the day, I wear a gshock to bed for the light). I just cant bring myself to grab anything else out of my watch box in the morning.

Hey more power to you. I hope you enjoy it and it also helps you got this channel that helps pay for your watch hobby right? 😅👍 I hope you get to treasure that watch for the rest of your life and wear it. My only problem with Rolex is everybody spouting them as investments and never wearing them. Sure given the current state of the industry they are. But if I managed a Rolex I'd wear it all the time, keep it maintained, and think of it as an heirloom to pass down. That's how special they should be. I'd probably sell off a few of my "low tier" watches because of that too. For me, I finally got my green Seiko SafArnie last week. I've wanted a digital tuna style watch since I found out the tech and brand came out in 78 when I was born. The 78 watch isn't my style but the green Arnie with hints of red defiantly is. Yes I know it's not the way you do a birthyear watch but trying to source and maintain a 78 digital tuna is not something I'm interested in. Now the urge to collect is mostly gone. Now I'm thinking of saving up for a Seiko Astron SBX017 solar Titanium GPS watch and a Casio Protrek PRW-70T (or a newer ultimate Protrek Titanium if it comes out by the time I have the money). Once I have those I think I'm basically done and I will dump a few watches. I just don't have the urge anymore after getting my SafArnie, my Protrek PRW-6600Y-1A9CR, a Seiko Land series Prospex SRPD31, Momentum Vortech GMT, my Steeldive 1970 (Willard), a Gshock Rangeman, and a solar Gshock Square...The rest can go. Hell the Gshocks will probably go as gifts at some point. I already gave my gravity master to my cousin's son to congratulate him for joining the Canadian armed forces. I found my Niche and the only thing I might buy from now on are some different Protreks for my Protrek collection or maybe a Hamilton Kahki 42m (saving that one to commemorate something special in my life if/when it happens). ....unless I come into a nice sum and a Big crown pointer is financially responsible.😅

Sub is just a damn good watch overall (built, comfort, proportion, robustness, versatility ). I would only buy it at MSRP and nothing more for a non-essential luxury item. I would rather wear the Sub out often than daily a 50K Lange 1😵 I dreaded having to play the AD game so I’m still waiting for the call while enjoying my BB58 Blue and Stowas :_D
you're not ruined until you start wearing a watch on both wrists. BTW, an interesting experiment would be to wear it until DST change and then reset. we often hear reviewers tell us how much a watch gains or loses per day but it would really be more interesting to see how it does over a period of months or years of daily normal use. Congratulations on the sub ,it is a beauty!
I would love to see a comparison between the Rolex Submariner and Shinola Monster.
Your thinking is just a function of your current wealth. You’re ok wearing it regularly & don’t feel the need to baby it; in the same way Bruce had to sell the VC because he clearly wasn’t comfortable. Completely normal behaviour imo
I'm surprised you are so taken with this watch and you flipped the OP39 white dial so fast. It seems there's a lot of overlap in terms of the case, bracelet, and overall quality. I guess the Sub is a very different watch but still surprised since we know you love white dials.
Like you Rob I was fortunate to get my 124060 retail and just like you I do not baby it so any marks are my doing and I'm OK with that, it's in my rotation but maybe does get more wrist time than the others. I didn't buy it as an investment either as I prefer to enjoy the watch on the wrist. I personally prefer the sub without the date, some other watches in the rotation have the date complication and I find I check them less to read the date these days.
hmmm...I'm thinking I already had this experience.... with my first automatic watch, the Invicta Pro Diver. 🙃
I bought this just for the bezel action
I feel strangely let down by this acquisition of his.
If its me, definitely a cure! I've been itching to get Rolex Submariner for almost decade now.
to each his own. you don't have to apologize. i'm old enough to remember when these were hundreds of dollars, not thousands. yes, everything's more these days and the sub is probably the most iconic of all rolexes. i would caution those who might be endangering their financial security with a move of this sort. if desperation sets in i wouldn't want this purchase hanging over my head.
The watch world is strange in the sense that both newcomers and those deeply entrenched in watches both seem to gravitate strongly towards Rolex. In other hobbies and categories of collectibles the 'cognoscenti' tend to look to more specialist interests and items as their tastes are formed based on past experiences, but when it comes to watches Rolex is the be all and end all. Seems a bit shallow somehow.

I totally get that. When I first picked up the Air King I don’t know how long I wore it. I just didn’t keep track. But I truly didn’t want to wear anything else. The Rolex’s just feel amazing on wrist and I could almost be a one watch guy…almost lol. I will say the AK is the go to watch for me right now and YES I wear it for everything and don’t baby it. Wore it working on Broncos in Moab earlier this year and absolutely picked up some scratches, don’t even care!!!
I bought my hulk before it got discounted for $14k and it’s now selling for close to $20k I still wear the hell out of it and enjoy every minute. My honeymoon is going on 2 years I never get tired of just looking at my wrist throughout the day. Keep up the great videos!

I don't see a point of switching to another watch. it has all the functions I need and 2. it goes well with anything I wear and pretty much all occasions. good on you though, wear the damn thing and don't worry about scratches.
I'd rather wear the orange monster sitting there to be honest. Just imo.
Hey Rob, it’s just a damn good watch. For all the talk positive or negative, this one is just a damn good watch. I enjoy mine (added the date though) other watches be damned. Same with my OP. Rolex sport (sporty) models are just damn good watches.
I like them but the marketing and supply games has made the brand more important than the watches themselves. This is Rolex’s fault as they’ve made who gets one so random. This is working for them financially but it’s not working for them for their reputation. The demand is there because you can’t buy them. The random waiting list nonsense rather than taking orders and deposits is a desperate mess.
If that’s scratched you should see my watches.
I‘ so done with Rolex. Crawling on the floor for being allowed to spend 8000 bucks for a watch? Not any more...

if you were a genuine watch enthusiast and regularly bought other comparable no-wait list watches, then the AD would be calling you..

@@TheSpacesnowman I am. Wore a Submariner for over 15 years, and loved it. Had to sell it among other watches and other things, didn ´t bother me at all. Looked into more affordable watches, bought them, sold them, still keep them. And then bought a Planet Ocean 43,5 in black. It‘s the best watch I ever had. In every way. Next is a PO chrono in 45,5 in orange. Rolex? No way. A dealer I visit sometimes had a green Sub with stickers still on unworn and unsized for 31.000,00 Euros. He sold it within days. Watch enthusiast? Yes. But Rolex? No.
I always wanted a Rolex Subbie, but then I bought my Damasko. It has taken a hammering as my daily watch and does not show the slightest blemish or scuff…. literally not a mark, even on the bracelet. Rolex? What Rolex?
