It's been about 2 years since I bought the Rolex Submariner, and I have no regrets. The Rolex Submariner is my all time favorite watch without a doubt. I thought it was a good time to do a retrospective look at the watch and discuss 5 things I both love and hate about the Rolex Submariner.

$8, 500 will seem very well priced in 25 years. Bought my Sub in 1994 for $2, 750 and wear it daily. Didn’t keep the best time until the 3rd annual service and now keeps perfect time. Best thing I’ve ever purchased.

What I don’t like about my Submariner? I needed to wait nearly 5 months to get it from an authorized dealer. What I love about my Submariner? Everything else. Fantastic piece that lives up to the hype.

Imo, this is your best video yet. You’re really finding a voice as a reviewer. I enjoyed this.

I'm so glad you did this vid! I'm a married man and I have my household as my main priority. With that being said my lovely wife knows my love for nice timepieces. I absolutely have always loved the design of the submariner but that price I simply can't justify at this time in my life. Do to my love of quality dive watches I watched your vid of the Monta oceanking. Yes I know these are 2 different beast in their own classes but value for money at that price point which I'm comfortable with I don't think it can be beaten right now. Absolutely enjoy your vids and I always learn something new! Until next time🍻

I love all your Rolex videos, but this one has to be the best so far!!! I love how honest you are with each of your purchases

[shaneweightman]

The great thing about this video, is someone who is willing to dish the dirt and dislikes of a great watch, the best way to improve things is not to be biased and say what you think in a non disrespectful fashion, , as is the case here, , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

This is kind of funny but your only gripe really is the fact that Rolex doesn’t use anti reflective coating however, you don’t even have anti glare on your glasses. There are at least a few reasons why Rolex stays away from it. Not applying an anti reflective coating allows Rolex to keep that jewel like appearance and avoids potential scratching of that surface since in order for an anti reflective coating to be effective, it would have to be applied on the outside of the crystal. If the coating was only placed on the inside, it wouldn’t be a negligible difference. Also, that coating which is not only susceptible to scratches, degrades over time and being the fact that Rolex’s are engineered to last decades, they don’t want to take that chance. Not all Rolex’s have great legibility but the Submariner certainly does with their bigger 18K white Gold hands (Mercedes and stick) which allows you to differentiate the hour and minute hand at a quick glance and a lot of applied lume.

I wanted to get it for my birthday but it came about a month late. I love the way it looks and didn't want any other watch.

Hi! From your experience wearing this, does it outperform 48 hrs power reserve? If so, by how much? Thanks!

Just bought a kermit style steinhart 42mm. I have a GMT Master 2. As you mention i the video the rolexs always come with issues. Bought mine from an AD in Zurich. Bezel misalignment and running slow at 20s per day. The oyster style bracelet is an absolute scratch magnet. Steinhart, 20X cheaper. Bezel is aligned perfectly +4secs a day, brushed bracelet 80%. No issues. I rarely wear the GMT2 and see it more as an investment these days when i need a new kitchen and bathroom when I retire, lol

Time sure flies. I still remember the video the day you got it. The journey continues.

I had 2 Rolex subs and now IMO I love my Grand Seiko diver sbga231 very comfortable and the spring drive the accuracy is amazing nothing compares mine is 4 seconds fast in a month but if you are dead set on a Rolex sub I understand but if u want other diver options a Grand Seiko should be considered

[EricSloferwatchreviews]

Thanks for sharing the video Guy as always it's very informative and very well put together Thanks 👍

[deathbdigital]

I have a copy of Road and Track from 1974.
The rolex advert shows a msrp for the stainless

Submariner at $428.50usd. Converted to 2019 that's
just shy of $2500.

[gregsnavely]

Mine is a 1997 and for some reason (if i understand correctly) the no date (or 2 line sub) does not say superlative chronometer, but the same year with the date does, do you know if this is true?

[antg.]

Haven’t watched the video but last time you did a 5 and 5 you sold the Explorer. 🤨

[rememberthenightphotograph]

looks like its sat in a safe... after 1 week of owning my Rolex its have more scratches then yours...

[jbbrabant]

Enjoyed this video as It was straight forward @ honest.. Thanks 👍

Regarding the AR-coating, it is strange that Rolex just have applied it on the date cyclop, and left the rest without it. Thanks for a interesting video!
