At the same time I do not flash it in public and be aware of my surroundings. To top it off, I think if you purchase insurance from hodinkee or jewellers mutual, you should be fine. Just enjoy your watch!

Dear Serge, like the majority of viewers have mentioned in their comments to your video , you saved and sacrificed and put in the efforts to finally purchase and own a Rolex Submariner date , the romance is slowly fading away for this watch , as we all saw in this video, however , there’s a solution to everything , I would personally suggest to remove the stainless steel bracelet and glide lock clasps and mount a Rubber B/ Everestband black rubber strap with normal 316 stainless steel buckle , and below are my reasons why: 1) wearability , the watch feels much lighter and does not shout R O L E X! R O L E X! in people’s faces. I’ve tested it myself. Nobody notices it as much anymore. 2) durability , the rubber band it’s really durable and very comfortable on the wrist both in hot/cold days. If you are also into diving/swimming , it is good as well for that purpose and it won’t disappoint you. 3) You will definitely save your Rolex oyster bracelet , if you are concerned of the scratches in the long run. 4) This final point is for you Surge , don’t let other people’s negative opinion put you down , they do not know what you’ve been through and the effort and sacrifices you’ve made to reach this grail watch, wear it in happiness. Take care Mark

Mark you give sound advice. I think some Rolex owners (especially those who had to save for a while to buy one)get self conscious about the watch, but also expect it to work like magic, instantly earning the approval and admiration of your peers. I have found that most people either don't notice it or don't mention it if they do. Very few people even know what a Rolex costs, they think $2k is expensive. Ultimately it's just a watch in the eyes of most people. I will add that watches also seem to look better when you see another person with it. I have a Datejust that I am used to. One day my wife had to retrieve it for me and seeing it in her hand it was a thing of unmatched beauty. I wonder if that's what people see when it's on my arm, but I will never know because they don't say.

Hi Serge, I couldn't agree more with your comments but the biggest factor for me would be safety when wearing such a watch unfortunately life is very cheap and to get hurt or even killed over a watch you have to ask yourself is it worth it. That is why I wouldn't intertain wearing a Rolex.

What a waste of a rolex for you to have one if you arent even going to wear it everyday that you can.

if you fear your watch so much it means you can't afford it and should probably sell it

So much positivity in the comments wow!

I just told my boss I didn't touch my bonus for a few years. End of story. I've since helped him source a new Breitling and have become the watch guy. You never know what common ground you're going to find with people. Unless there are established politics in your office, which I've seen in the past, wear what you're going to wear with confidence. Parking your rented BMW's down the street is ridiculous.

So far, I've only bought stuff that I could replace tomorrow if lost. If you can only afford one, it's not really worth it.

I agree with the second and the third reasons. I wear my Rolex at work sometimes, but whenever there is a meeting where someone sit just next to me, I wear a cheaper watch. I do hope I can wear a Rolex everyday, but it is just not appropriate for the time being.

here too. greetings from switzerland. I have a davosa ternos 40 mm. a steinhart 42 and a rolex a 41, all are black dial. I wear the rolex for special occasions. Davosa for daily work(daily smart).and the steinhart on the weekend(a tough beast) and the rolex is the smartest.. im not a collector , I have these 3 and thats it.my uncle is since 50 years a swiss watchmaker so all 3 watches are under his radar..

Cuz it’s gotten too expensive - above retail dang it. That’s my reason too. I wear my longines conquest gmt.

Hi I have an entry new one in a secret place wind it regularly never worn I told one friend I had one and no text for a while from him, ( just saved money) got box, tags, warranty, receipt etc )

Here’s the thing, you only live once. If you like a watch wear it... Further, women routinely wear jewelry far more than a stainless steel Rolex it’s not a huge deal.

You're right. You definitely have to be careful these day's. People are jealous... It's a shame. It's a statement, some people will appreciate it, most won't. Coming from a owner of a 41mm sub and a 36mm DJ. Being under the radar is nice, but if you're wearing a rollie, be prepared.

I recently bought a Rolex sub date from my AD, and I will tell you that no one notices the watch. I was worried about it but no one notices.

I'm self employed. I hire a lot of designers and technical contractors to help me with projects. They are always sizing up clients and pricing their quotes accordingly. If I'm wearing a rolex it sends them a message that I can afford more. In my line of work humility is a huge advantage for me.

If you want to switch up from steel watches, maybe you’d like a Nomos. Modest size, good quality, beautifully designed, and no one knows the brand. It could be an upgrade to your timex

This guy is just trying to show off. So, I’m assuming you buy your suits and shoes from the thrift store?

Noooo he couldn’t be seen wearing suits to work! What would the clients think. Didn’t you know, someone got fired for wearing clothes to work. Too flash for clients, they’ll think you have too much money. It’s old newspapers and potato sacks only, otherwise clients would be thinking you’re spending their money on foolish things. It’s just how it’s done in the big financial cities… I’ve never seen anyone in NY or London wear anything expensive ever. In fact if you go to the city of London you would think it’s just one big homeless colony.

Sad world when you feel like you have to give afuq what others think

You worked hard, you saved your money, and bought a Submariner. Wear it and be proud of your accomplishment Serge.

I can't imagine owning a watch and not using it. If you think about resale in a watch then you should think about maybe not buying it in the first place.

is it true that Rolex has discontinued 40mm steel Rolex Submariner line ?

I think so

Once I purchase my Rolex next year I will wear mine in the weekends. I wear a Bulova Lunar Pilot as my work house. I understand though about attracting attention.😉

I understand yes and it's true people can be jealous bad mind . Definitely some bosses would be bad mind if you drive a better car than them or have a more expensive watch.Jealousy is still present in many humans.

Dude, go to David SW they have 20 for sale right now. Your going to pay a premium but they’re available.

I have a Sub and I don’t give a rat’s ass if somebody is put off by that. I earned the money and bought the watch, so I’ll wear it whenever and wherever I want. If somebody thinks that’s pretentious, that’s too bad.

I agree with you on everything. I have certain watches I would not wear to work for the same reasons you stated. My bosses do not wear nice watches but they make more money than I do and how does it look if I ask for a raise with an Omega on my wrist- does not matter that it was a gift all that matters are the optics. If I go to a BBQ with a group of friends that may not be making a lot of money I wear a different watch because there is no need to exhibit my pricey watch- its a freakin BBQ so when in Rome. Now if my wealthy friends invite me to their BBQ then I would wear a nice timepiece as an Omega to them is just a standard watch( very nice but standard) In certain countries I leave my expensive watches home because I am just asking for it if I take them with me. We may think only watch geeks notice our watches but that is not so- people notice quality and even if say they do not know what a Tudor bay is they see the quality and take notice. If you want to be that guy/girl who just wants to be noticed regardless of any ones thoughts then by all means be that person, but do not complain when you get a negative reaction. Life is indeed short and we have to enjoy the finer things in our lives, but at what expense ?

Dude, I mean this in the best possible way...get over yourself. You are your own worst enemy. Enjoy the watch.

Exactly it’s a sub .... great watch but Jesus chill 😂

Boy I tell ya when you got something that other people yearn for wether it be money, good looks, or health, they get angry when you don’t do what they expect you to. Or what they believe they would do if they were you.

I agree with you other then sharing the milestone with family and friends I keep it hush hush especially at work because I don’t want to influence ppls ideas of me

I honestly agree with you on the first point that Rolex is trying to somehow push up the market to present themselves as a limited, luxury and only the few can wear... a tool watch at 10k is ridiculous honestly... if you really wanna get a bashing watch... get a gshock...

+Wrist Distraction Rolex trying...? Rolex IS the biggest watch superbrand out there. No other watch brand is even near the brand success Rolex has become. Nobody cares what you find ridiculous, as long as the market is eager to pay 10K or more for a tool watch from Rolex. 🤣

@@rasmusjensen588 Who are you to call others stupid? It is rather obvious that you don't even understand the basics of this discussion. That Rolex IS the worlds biggest watch superbrand, is a FACT. Not an opinion! That AP, Patek and Vacheron are part of the Holy Trinity and are horologically regarded higher class, has NOTHING to do with the mentioned fact. If you go to Kirgiztan or whatever remote place, and ask a random farmer to mention a good watchbrand, 99% will say Rolex. That is because of brand recognition and hopefully proves my point to you. And there is nothing cheap about a Rolex (I guess you´ve never seen one in real life though), on the contrary, it is one of the most well made mechanical watches out there, and the ownership is a breeze compared to Vacheron or AP, where you have to wait 6 month during every service, and the intervals are often tighter than at Rolex.

It is now completely obvious to anyone, how your parents failed to give you some manners. Did you by any chance grow up with the animals in the barn? 😁 I love my VC Overseas, but not as much as my Submariner, that gets most of the wrist time. I haven't tried any Pateks out yet, but I guess I'm more of a VC and Rolex guy. :)

I bought a submariner for my father and he was too afraid to wear it . Was afraid he’d get mugged. I completely understand.
