Having wanted a Rolex since I was a teenager, I found a used one an got an elderly watchmaker to teach me how to service it completely. The quality is outstanding, inside and out. The case design, to protect the mechanism, is insuperable. The mechanism is built like a tank, built to last a lifetime, though it needs to be serviced every 5 years. It is probably the finest production watch in the world. I like it better than my Vacheron in every way.
There are a few negatives, though. Adjusting the regulator is a real pain and requires a special tool. You must partially disassemble the watch and remove the balance to adjust it, or risk breaking the balance staff. Then reassemble and wear the watch and see how it runs on your wrist. I adjusted it 12 times before I got mine keeping time as it should, to 3 seconds per day error. This watch would be better if it had a micro-regulator.
The band wears fast if it is two-tone or solid gold. If you want durability, buy the stainless steel watch.
Rolex and all the major watch brands have made it impossible to find replacement parts since the year 2000. This means you must send your watch to Rolex and pay them $1000 to service your watch, when what you need is a $50 part. This is really hurting the watch repair business. The inability to buy parts, in my opinion, dramatically reduces the investment potential of any product.
Buying a Rolex is expensive, but so is owning one. Your best lubricants last about 6 years, so your watch should be serviced every 5 years.
Despite the negatives, I like my Rolexes. I have had three of them since 1994. I bought them all used. My favorite is from 1972 and has a 1570 series mechanism, which I recommend most highly. It is probably the best mechanical watch money can buy.
everlasting beauty....and performance
well what can I say, Rolex is Rolex, I've loved the brand for ages (my papa is a watch afficionado loves the brand) they are expensive it took me 36 years to have it..gave it a bit of thought because 7k is quite some money, but after thinking it for couple of weeks i said "screw it let's do it"... the funny thing is I do not have the submariner dahhh but a GMT master 2, which I believe (if you are not a professional/leisure diver) the GMT is better choice, it keeps time in 3 time zones, with my job in a globalized world I have to keep up from Athens, Mexico, San Diego and Canada, so the GMT is great for keeping your agenda up to speed. the new watch (also the Submariner) has a new ceramic bezel, which in my opinion is the best part of the watch (if you broke it down) still as an altogether watch is magnificent.. too much tradition, too much time..like other people say, this is a jewel that stands the passing of time....also have an omega GMT seamaster, have had it for 5 years now, and believe it or not keeps better time??!!!(the Rolex get's few sconds behind), still Rolex is Rolex,,,everlasting beauty and also performance...if you got the buck, the luck and the style...get the rolex won't be dissapointed!!!
