As always brilliant review and I am so proud that you chose the Submariner Rolesor yellow gold and stainless steel with the black face. This is exactly my watch! I chose it due to no all stainless Submariner, though I later realized this was on my vision board, so it makes me very happy. I still sometimes question my purchase because of the popularity of the stainless and the ss and gold can be flashy. I have learned to rock it with a white tee and jeans or even a hoodie and sweatpants as athleisure and it works well. Seeing it in this video reassures my purchase, and I love my 3135 movement. Thanks for all of your detail. Do you, the presenter or anyone else have any comments on the ss and yellow black face sub in this video? Thanks in advance

One thing I noticed with Rolex is how impossibly smooth the crown thread is. With other watches I need to look for the start of the thread by pushing in and turning counterclockwise, and when I feel a 'jerk' it means I got it. It's kinda like turning the lid of a peanut butter jar backwards. With Rolex, you don't have to do that because you just push the crown in and it catches all the time, unlike some watches where you kinda feel the threads getting stuck and you have to twist back to not risk cross-threading.

I haven’t even had the need to overhaul my 2008 Sub yet. It’s just as reliable and accurate as the day I bought it new. The steel Rolex uses is far superior in durability and resistance to ordinary dings and scuffs that rather quickly ruined the appearance of my Omega Bond SMP. That Omega has been repaired five times and overhauled 3 times since buying it new in 2004. It’s also been refinished every servicing to keep its appearance decent. The hassle of owning an expensive yet quite temperamental timepiece has ruined me for anything that is not Rolex.

I've often wished there could be a display back on my sub. Sure, it's not a Lange, but it is pretty well done and fun to look at when the jeweler opens it up. Omega has a rugged, deep diving watch with a display back. Not like it can't be done.

Hard to do so since many entry-level brands use both inhouse or sourced movements, and the characteristics may vary from one movement/ watch model to another.

When I sent my Speedmaster Mk 4.5 to Switzerland for servicing costing thousands of dollars, they refused to replace the screw down case back with an exhibition case back even tho I know they do use them on a few other models and I believe the sizes are standardized. Not to complain, as Omega did a fantastic job and it was well worth the price. Just that that little extra of a see thru back would have been nice.

I've gone off Rolex due the absurdity of how their AD's allocate and influence who gets what. In 1989 I bought a Submariner that was sitting in the shop window. I'm not prepared to beg or pay someone for a watch that they got from a dealer just to charge me more for it. Expensive watches are fine until you want to sell them. Watchfinder were not interested in buying my IWC, even though I would have bought another watch from them. My loyalty is currently with the Japanese watch industry. We like our toys but I look at the manufacturing cost of a watch in relation to its SRP and I get the feeling someone is lifting my leg.

@npaul41713 жыл бұрын
If a 3100-series, every 10 years is the rule of thumb, but it is best to let the watch tell you. Major changes in timekeeping ability and/or a drop in amplitude/increase in beat error (if you have a timegrapher) suggest it is time for service. If the watch is frequently used for water activities, at several points during that 10 years it might be a good idea to have its seals checked. With the 3200-series, Rolex still says every 10 years but it isn't clear yet how long this movement can go between servicing given it is relatively new.

It's really just a relic of a bygone era preserved for tradition rather than merit. A modern quartz watch is typically 100x more accurate than a mechanical chronometer and suffers none of the effects of age that cause a mechanical movement to become less accurate through physical shock or material fatigue. Anyone who needs to actually keep accurate time would be a fool to purchase a mechanical movement. These are like a Model T Ford, if the factory had remained open and producing vehicles for 100 years. They'd be the best, most refined Model T's you'd ever see but of course they are still relics, long since surpassed by even mass market car markers (or watch makers, in this case)
