Men's Rolex Oyster Precision Submariner Chronometer Stainless Steel Watch Customer Review
A classic wrist watch, an icon of style, mechanical perfection,
I bought my Submariner years ago when it represented a month's salary - yes, I had to have it. I have worn it for over 25 years and it's always been in style and it keeps very, very good time. Despite it's bulk (made well ahead of the current >40mm chunk of metal watch trend) this Rolex is a watch you can wear every day without pain. The chronometer certification ensures that it will be as accurate as any mechanical watch can be. The Rolex name says that it will run well for years and years. I like the simple dial - very easy to read and the bubble over the date is just plain cool. The only down side is that there are cosmetically perfect copies from China out there so if you need to use a watch to impress people, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you desire one of the world's greatest timepieces, look no further.
For a male baby boomer, this is probably the ultimate watch,
The James Bond books and movies of my youth contained some prominent (and probably free) product placement for Rolex. Specifically, 007 utilized a modified stainless steel Rolex Submariner wristwatch to scuba dive, garrote bad guys, and look the part of a sophisticate at black-tie affairs. As a youth, I was taken with all of this.
Years later, for my 30th birthday, I was fortunate enough to take possession of a brand new Submariner. I wear it to this day, every day, and its pros far outweigh its cons:
To the good: the sapphire crystal is literally indestructible, as is the Oyster foundation. The stainless steel watch is suitable for serious business attire without being overly glitzy. And yet those into watches recognize it for what it is: a male baby-boomer's favorite.
On the negative side: it has run consistently fast (about two minutes a month) since the day I bought it. Its weight is staggeringly heavy and does take some getting used to (don't try and throw a punch even playfully with a Sub on - you'll end up cutting the back of your hand as the winding crown slams into it).
If you're ever in a jam, the Sub is useful as hard currency throughout the world. All in all, I'd buy a replacement in a heartbeat.
