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

[@gmshadowtraders]

He should sell it. The love is gone, you are correct.

[@S5King7]

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.

My friend, I just ran across your video, I thought maybe there would be some new content on the submariner. After listening to what you said, just a thought, I own a very successful company, and I’m not ashamed to wear a beautiful watch. I have an amazing Rolex collection, you should look at it another way also besides life is too short. Did you ever think that maybe your clients who see you wearing something like this have probably come to the conclusion that perhaps you do very well at what you do and your successful. Another way to look at it is you obviously know what you’re doing if you can spend that kind of money on a watch, so maybe they should listen to your suggestions and advice, and in the future they can afford one too at some point just a thought.

[@pedrosaenz2800]

You should buy an Invicta Pro diver. They share a similar aesthetic, but you don't have to worry about breaking the watch.. since they're cheap to replace! They keep good time and cost ~$90 instead of thousands of dollars!

What’s on the wrist serge?

[@inlandwatchreviews5745]

I agree with you,I wish I did not but this is Rolexes doing not ours. I was going to wear my Rolex Milgauss for the weekend . then I thought my Hamilton Khaki King has the date and the day function which I really like, its a Swiss made watch for under $500 US so which watch do I really like and want to wear, the Hamilton won out over the Rolex . I will be going back to a 34MM Rolex Air King , still a Rolex ,but I won't have too much tied up in the watch.

[@NikonFM2n]

Me too man. I love my Hammys.

[@WristDistractions]

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...

[@jhmsmarttv795]

+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]

@@jhmsmarttv795 Are you stupid? what about audemars piguet, patek philippe and ao on? Rolex is a cheap tool watch, nothing else. I wear mine when I work on my car...

[@jhmsmarttv795]

@@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.

[@rasmusjensen588]

@@jhmsmarttv795 You are a joke my friend, enjoy your cheap 10k rolex as a real expensive, status watch. so sad. Will keep collecting PP, and use my rolex's as holiday/tool watches.

[@jhmsmarttv795]

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. :)

[@Patrick.Knows.Nothing]

Tell ya what! I’ll take that sub right off yer hands so you don’t have to worry about any of this at all! I’ll wear it to everything, everywhere, all at once!

[@iminasamscar9432]

So much positivity in the comments wow!

[@flyinb45]

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.

[@007Chancellor]

It's funny how our watch journey is similar...but reversed. I used to own three Rolex watches, bought in the 70s and 80s. But the prices got STUPID - so I sold them, bought three Steinharts, and put $50,000 in the bank. I loved 'em, but I love the Steinharts just as much. Not to mention the money in the bank.

[@vanillamuffinssugaroipunkc2456]

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..

[@heredotrecayi]

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

[@nobodysreview6137]

I think so

[@JJPurp]

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.

[@pedrosaenz2800]

Rolex has turned tool watches into luxury items. You might be robbed or killed for that watch.

[@Mark-sd7fc]

Pedro Saenz Especially when ya have a u tubes showing everybody that yours is real when a lot of submariners are fake

[@Bugster987]

Lots of good points. Some don’t get that in some places of work and environments a Rolex just isn’t the watch for the job. Discretion can be key. For instance, If you’re talking to a customer that’s struggling to make payments despite what many think he WILL notice your Rolex and you’ve just made your job a bit harder.

[@CoffeeMadeMeSay]

And If you’re working with high end clients like in real estate. A basic Rolex can reassure you’re at least somewhat professional.

[@shazman15]

Not sure how you are keeping your professional life private if you are doing these videos? Just saying. Also this is not an 18k watch, in the grand scheme of things it's very much an entry level luxury watch. I really wouldn't worry much. Live you life sir.

[@indyawichofficial1346]

Depends locally, trust me Sir, there is whole a lot of places where 100 USD is fortune. Same goes to the people who may hurt your invincibility - for the watch. If you argue "then dont go to such places" - I would say "its just a diver", because the pricewise the amount of the money spent on these in your world is marginal isn' t it. There is many people having sub yet diving with Seikos.

[@patrickmarcolla8359]

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

[@Thevoiceofreason84]

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

[@srchang7104]

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.

[@redsea1234]

Why are you worried if you’re perceived as richer? What’s the worse than can happen?

[@srchang7104]

@@redsea1234 Good question. If I am perceived as richer, some friends and colleagues will over estimate my financial status, expect me to pay more, and eventually some of them will say I am stingy. Bad-mouth people are everywhere. Rolex is a symbol of success, wealth, or high social status. Since I don’t belong to these categories, wearing a Rolex may give some colleagues an impression of spending money irrationally. This is another adverse effect. I own both Rolex and Omega. Both are very accurate. I like the Rolex better, but when I wear the Omega I don’t need to worry about anything since the Omega draws less attention.

[@robquiz5150]

Wear your watch dude... lol or sell it if you're too timid to wear it.

[@thefiremensch]

What the watch market does or what other people think bears ZERO weight on wearing my Rolex every day. The sport Rolex’s ARE tool watches and are still built to that high quality and durability, regardless of how the “world” views the brand name. Mine is the absolute toughest watch I’ve owned!! Only argument for me to not wear it is the probability of someone trying to rob it off of my person..
