This guy has more Submariners than all the AD's in the UK put together ! Great episode gents.

Some say they're still waiting on Rolex to supply the 114060 and 116610 for this video.

[@CommandoMaster]

Funny thing is they only cost like $600-$1000 to make, but are still too lazy to do so.

@C A I bought a submariner in 2017. I just walked into the store and bought it.

[@smr32061]

What a great video on the history of the Submariner! Honestly, one of the most iconic watches ever made and probably the only watch you would ever need if you were a one watch kind of guy and a must have if you are a collector.

[@Andy-ri1ns]

It feels like I have been waiting 10 years for this video, 🤔 oh wait, I have. Great stuff guys!

[@sbsb7845]

I just bought my first Rolex Seamaster, it even has a new battery fitted in

[@AngelInTheDesert]

Had the pleasure of meeting Eric and listening to him talk about the world of vintage watches. Crazy amount of knowledge.

[@Seitsneddeppat]

After reading tons of articles with different or lacking statements and (yes this contributed mainly to my confusion) going through forum entries I finally found a video that brings all together! Thank you very much Hodinkee!

[@scoobydooby9151]

This is the quintessential Submariner history lesson. Both you guys did an excellent job in explaining Subs. I'm going to get a M series 16610 this week.

[@antonchigurh4125]

That was epic! Some serious money parked up on that table!

[@pinkfatcap]

if you value them by the price tag you are doing something wrong.

Thank you Hodinkee for this reference video on Vintage Rolex Submariner. Love it !!!

Awesome. This deserves a full length documentary.

[@ajlabra2096]

Hondinkee giving us exactly what we want!!

[@robertjenkins6323]

Thanks for sharing this collection, and well done for having such an amazing collection. It's great to see how the sub has changed over the years, yet still remain instantly recognisable!

[@Mikey___]

Awesome video, but the lack of charisma in the delivery made me zone out several times

[@para_bellum_1984]

I agree. Maybe this guy is Brian Posehn's lost brother?

[@johncraig2684]

it's his robotic voice.....it never changed pitch or volume right through the video...lol.

[@johncraig2684]

He'd make a great funeral director or get him to talk to the prisoners at guantameno bay for a few hours and they'll confess to anything if he just shuts up.

[@johncraig2684]

@Freddie Davies all the videos are meant to be informative,enjoyable and entertaining...his knowledge is brilliant but his delivery took away the enjoyment...just compare it to the brilliant John Mayer video to see what i mean....not the guys fault he's just not a natural communicator...can't see him getting any documentary voice over work,unless it's a documentary on depression.

[@bentremy]

Mikey sounds like the death

[@ThugByChoice]

Complete honesty. The background music is the only thing I font like about this channel.

[@timur9429]

The break down on the Submariners which are truely the only ones to buy. Great review!

[@speedwolf5212]

I love that seconds hand on the 6204/6205 with the pencil hand set. While the red triangle bezel models are stunning... for me, I still think the Milsub is THE ultimate sub.

[@mitchmcclain7087]

Eric is looking rough since the Speedmaster video

[@JustinSerda]

His body is just catching up to his voice.

[@joeslackjaw588]

What does “tropical” mean @5:10, as it pertains to aging difference? Is it simply in reference to the climate of which the watch was worn and how perhaps humidity can oxidize the hands or am I way off?

[@MrVoayer]

A feast for the eyes ! And for curiosity and hunger for knowledge, as well ! With splendid gathering on the closing scenes! Much wanted and highly appreciated video ! Thank you, guys !

[@foretell6819]

At 5:14 what does he mean by saying the one with the most aging is tropical while the other isn’t?

[@rollywood2793]

Great video! Make a part II, and it will be the YT bible for the submariner, you only need to cover the: 16800, 16803, 16805, 14060, 14060M, 16610LN, 16610LV, 16613, 16618, 116040, 116610LN/LV, 116613, 116618.... + all the dial variation, black, blue, silver with precious stones, champagne with precious stones, ect, ect, so much to cover... But it would be fascinating.

[@phmwu7368]

Can't believe it took 10 years to make reference points on the most iconic/important watches of all times... next Rolex GMT-master as it celebrates its 65th anniversary ?

[@blindhydra]

So much stories and history in that single table alone.

[@billmedic1995]

I always look forward to seeing a video with Eric Wind! I’ve watched the Speedmaster Reference Points countless times, so now I’m happy to have another vid to watch and still never be able to memorize (all the different changes, that is)! Great job as always guys.

[@rikoflishas]

The first ones are my favorite but the gold ones actually surprised me. Awesome video 👏

[@WN427]

It would be fantastic to see a Reference Points episode on the Omega Seamaster someday

[@CasinoQueenScotland]

That 1954 6205 (at about 2:22) may be the most perfect Rolex face I've ever seen in terms of design proportions. It actually kind of makes me sad that the Sub has moved so far from it.

[@michaelturner7949]

Aged 19, in March 1975, London, I paid £192 for a Red Submariner. I upgraded it in 1976.

[@_tgreg1]

Loved the video. Just mega annoyed because I have a 14060 sub and wanted to see it here! Though, the last 5513 two-line with the white gold indices is absolutely identical to my watch despite the different serial number. EDIT::: for anyone interested the difference between the last 5513 and 14060 is 660ft compared to 1000ft (100m difference).

[@kkcwl]

He is definitely a true submariner collector

[@Jasperroodog]

awesome content

[@mtnslyr]

Can we have reference points for IWC big pilot?

[@KingJzf]

The COMEX has a closed 6 in the date 🤔 it should be an open 6and 9s. Would have liked him discussing the transitional 168000 which is probably the shortest run submariner.

[@coreygolphenee9633]

I think this video was more concerned with aesthetics then rarity

The 1680 Red Sub is the most beautiful watch

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

This gentleman is a walking sub encyclopedia!!

[@VmanStudioz]

Absolutely Mind blowing! Very impressive. However, the marketing side of me just can't help that Hodinkee would release such a video right on the heels of their Blancpain 50 Fathoms Gala Opening. What The? Where is the 50 Fathoms version of Reference Points?!
