I have only one question to all the Rolex haters out there. How would you explain a 1982 Submariner 16800 surviving multiple combat engagements, more then 1000 jumps, multiple combat dives & better then a half million rounds ranging from 9mm - 50 cal, The ultimate tool watch? I would, oh yeah, I still wear it today.

[@Slammintone]

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.

[@ronch550]

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.

[@raycollington4310]

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.

[@RICHOCHANGO]

Could you cover restoring a beat up watch? Could you increase the value of one that has been unloved?

[@mrblack888]

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)

[@macoyupadoodle]

I agree . I have a couple of Rolex watches 15 years to 20 with 0 problems . But the Haute horology brands you mentioned have a tendency to really be a bit sensitive and will deviate slightly due to shock (inherent design of a half bridge), especially models with more complications. More parts the more beautiful but more things can go wrong . Put a Rolex against .......lets say an Omega , GS (newest movement) would probably be more appropriate.

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

Gold on black always looks nice. With the amount you are paying for a rolex it should look flashy. It's not like today's subs are being used for diving.

Even Omega has a problem showing off the machine that drives the hands. 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.

[@davidhunternyc1]

I'm interested in your expert opinion regarding the following questions. Are the Rolex watches made today still made without compromise? Do they use their own in-house movement or, like cars, do they farm out parts to countries all over the world and "assemble" them in-house? Rolex makes 900,000 a year. A. Lange & Sohne makes 5,000 watches a year. I have no proof but I think the scarcity of Rolex is an artificial construct. In fact, I highly doubt that there are enough buyers for the 900,000 watches a year Rolex makes. For instance, what if customer demand is closer to 100,000 watches a year? How would we know? Perhaps more nefarious, Rolex could have modeled their business after the diamond industry. Production is artificially regulated to keep demand and prices high. What's the rub with Rolex?

A friend of mine was a master watchmaker for Rolex before going to JLC. He always says that in contrast to other brands, Rolex Movements are so „stupidly simple“ that he recommends anyone who‘s interested in watchmaking rather than bragging to go for a seagull instead, as their movements are more interesting. According to him, there really is no reason whatsoever that Rolex watches are more expensive than 1000$, other than the fact that those watches are cool to show off that you‘ve got money to spend on worthless ****. His words, not mine... Now he‘s happily making gyrotourbillons and minute repeaters for JLC, madlad.

Its silly that Rolex is pretentious enough to overcharge for colored bezels but don't display their movements. 🧐

[@RUBYWERT]

It’s about knowing what you have not flaunting it to the world.

[@MrGrentch]

One of the reasons Rolex traditionally didn't have display backs is because their Aegler movements were nothing to write home about, even within the mid tier level they were in until recently enough. Rolex were NOT "well known for fitting high quality movements into its watches for over a century". As late as 2001 actual watchmaker's reviews of Rolex movements were at best "meh" and often "these are pretty bad for the price"(when they were cheaper too). One watchmaker's teardown on the Timezone site around 2000 had him shocked at the appalling quality control that would be bad in a watch costing hundreds rather than thousands. Rolex were, outside of one offs, never high horology. JLC, Omega, Longines, never mind Patek they were not. Think a gussied up Seiko movement. Solidly enough made with large enough tolerances, so like Seiko they can take some punishment. Not a bad thing, but not "luxury". That they could get decent timekeeping out of them was more of a trick. Ironically one of the best designed and finished Rolex movements of the 20th century was their Oysterquartz, but that doesn't fit the "luxury" marketing today.

[@viciokas1993]

@@jeeefthegreat7555 No need to defend Rolex - MrGrentch is right, these movements are poorly decorated and therefore hidden behind a closed caseback. Compare it to something like JLC Polaris Mariner - cheaper with superior finish. You can even pick up a Panerai Luminor Due GMT with a microrotor for less than a Submariner, AND it's finished better. Rolex is a poor choice if you want it for anything apart from the name, perceived reliability, or brand loyalty.

[@MrGrentch]

@@viciokas1993 That's it pretty much VaHaLa. Don't get me wrong, they're a good solid watch and standards have improved over the last decade or so, but most of their standing in the market, especially lately is down to their fantastic marketing and move into the "luxury" bracket, their squeezing of the supply end of things and the more recently interested in the watch as lifestyle choice folks buying into that. The founder of Rolex Hans Wilsdorf was truly a marketing giant and the company learned well at his feet. I was looking for that Timezone link where the watchmaker gave a pretty negative review and came across their Rolex forum and it opens with: _Rolex is without doubt the most recognized watch in the world, what is not so well known is that the modern Rolex is the basis of almost all modern watches. The waterproof case, the self winding movement, the date window in the dial, the GMT two time zone watch and the diving watch are all Rolex inventions_ The only true statement in _all_ of that is the most recognised watch in the world part. Waterproof case? A few brands a decade before Rolex. Self winding movement? Harwood. Date(and day) window? Mimo(Gerard Perregaux), GMT? Longines(ditto for the rotating bezel). The diving watch? Omega in the 30's, the one we think of today? Blancpain. Yet more people would believe the Rolex forum statement. Actually it's hard to name a well known Swiss brand who innovated _less_ than Rolex in their history.

How often should we service a Rolex ?

[@npaul4171]

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.

Back in a days and even now Rolex was often used as a present and clean case back was meant for engraving. Notice how unlike any other watch there's absolutely nothing. So they just kept the tradition, which is totally fine by me. Good luck engraving sapphire case back.

Nomos offers options, jlc too..dornbluth engraves on the caliber itself! Inform yourself

@@mouhrissani8588 I didn't say it's impossible. In case of Rolex tho you can make engraving even yourself. But anyways, as I mentioned it's a tradition and not the main purpose. Mr. Smarty Pants😎

Back to basics. I love it!

I agree that Rolex could be a little more transparent (sapphire case back), pun intended. Great video as always and thank you for featuring the occasional brand such as Rolex; not everyone has a Patek Philippe bank account, particularly during this pandemic.

I've worn the best brands. Rolex have always kept the best time over the longest time. That is why I'm a fan.
