Should you buy a ROLEX SUBMARINER?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Let's talk about one of my most prized possessions, the classic Rolex Submariner No Date 114060.
After owning watches from Timex, Casio, Fossil, Hamilton, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Baume et Mercier, Seiko, Citizen, Cartier, Omega, Longines, IWC, Blancpain, Jaeger Le Coultre, and even other Rolexes, the Sub is ultimately where I landed. Here's some of my thoughts (by. no means exhaustive).

    First time viewer of your videos and I really like the way you think. I have loved watches since college as well and have bought and sold many of them. I always buy watches with that same look as the Rolex and you are right, there is no substitute, just get what you like. It will take me a little longer to save for this watch, but I think a few years of waiting will make me even more great full when I finally do make the purchase. Thank you for a great video; looking forward to hearing more of your videos!

    I understand and like you I prefer the Submariner over the Submariner Date. The Submariner is a classic and iconic timepiece. At the same time it is such an elegant and clean watch or should I say: "Superlative Chronometer." And by the way, I like your posts.

    Vintage watches are old too small 36m its dated like Black and white television, 40mm is the way to go for the average man, its the sweet spot as you said in this day and age. The Rolex Submariner stainless Steel Black dial white indexes 124060 is absolutely beautiful , for those who have had the pleasure to see this watch in real life or own one.
