The Rolex Submariner is often cited as one of the most iconic luxury watches ever created. At first glance, you can probably understand why. It has an incredible price tag, it is extremely unique, and it looks good. However, the question that many people have is whether it is an investment worth making.
When the original Rolex Submariner was introduced, with a suggested price point of just $150, it was meant for people to be able to purchase something functional and durable. The aim was to sell a reliable and rugged timepiece that was also not too costly. Over the past several years, especially since quartz watches gained in popularity, Submariner sales declined. It must be said that the reason for this decline was a poor looking watch.
Despite its looks, the Rolex submariner is actually a very competent watch. It has an automatic, self-winding, divers watch, which means that it will run all night without needing a battery change. It comes with a large and easy to read dial, as well as a date window that will remind you when it is time for another check of the time. A nice feature on this timepiece is the water resistance, which is forty meters for just thirty seconds of run time.
The company, which makes this watch, Rolex Watch Company, is located in Switzerland. They make a lot of diving equipment as well as watches, and they produce quite a few different models. All of their watches are certified anti-water sports watches, meaning that they can withstand water up to a hundred and twenty meters. These watches are also certified to dive, so you will not find any problem with wearing one of these watches while scuba diving or snorkeling. This is one of the reasons why the rolex submarines sold by this company have such good resale values.
The Oyster model of the Rolex Submariner is available with a bezel and bracelet. The bezel on this model is solid, rather than glass like the other models. However, the real attraction of this model is the Oyster pearl case which covers ninety percent of the bezel. On the other hand, the Submariner with bracelet is available with only eighty-five percent coverage. Either model is offered with a genuine leather strap and matching bezel.
The Rlex Submariner model with its three-tone gold and steel bezel is an improvement on the original Submariner model. The gold and steel options in this model are much brighter than they were on the original Submariner. Another major improvement is the fact that this model comes with two-tone gold and copper bezel that are much better than the previous model’s one-tone bezel. The Rlex Submariner with two-tone gold and copper also has a twenty-two carat gold case, which is nearly as big as the original Submariner’s forty-two carat case.
In addition to the major advances mentioned above, the Rolex submariner model includes many other features. For example, there is an optional heart rate monitor which is large and easy to read. The watch can also be used as a stopwatch with the push of a button. This watch can be used as divers watch as well, thanks to the fact that it does not have a depth sensor. It comes in sixty-two carat gold and stainless steel cases. These watches cost between four hundred and eight hundred dollars.
The downside to these watches is their price. If you are looking for an elegant, sophisticated watch on a modest budget, then the Replica Styling Stainless Steel Submariner is the one to buy. However, since this watch is part of the classic wardrobe of any gentleman, its practicality may outshine its beauty.
