My submariner is iconic, perfect size for my wrist and its comfort is exemplary.. it goes so well with a shirt or sweatshirt, completely under its spell. I am super proud of it every time I wear it, I feel good, its bright black dial dazzles me every time

Launched in 1953, the Submariner was the first diving wristwatch water-resistant to 100 metres. It symbolised a revolution in technical mastery. The Submariner marked a historic turning point in the world of watchmaking and quickly established itself as a benchmark among diving watches.

Before acquiring my first Rolex, a 41mm rhodium DJ, I was mainly eyeing professional models. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), at that time (in 2019), it was unthinkable to find a new one without having a purchase history as long as your arm at your AD. Intent on buying a new model at all costs, I did not even consider the second-hand option. So it was after several years and a watchmaking journey that had evolved over time that I said to myself: why not? Let's specify that I had the opportunity to buy a 126610LN at my AD in Muscat. But after trying it on, there was no longer any doubt, I needed a thinner model, easier to wear and with an aluminum bezel. So I headed to my favorite second-hand store and found it within a minute. 2 days later I had it on my wrist, and have never regretted it since!

Well, for my part, this watch was given to me for my 40th birthday. Beyond this advertising maxim that everyone knows, entering the watchmaking industry by starting with the Rolex Submariner is still a bit unusual. Indeed, having always been a watch enthusiast, I had never taken the plunge. And it is thanks to my partner, who, seeing this watch on my computer screen, was the one who gathered all her savings to give me this sumptuous gift... and now for 12 years, this watch has followed me everywhere, whether on vacation or during the renovations of the house, it practically never leaves me. And even if I have since acquired other watch jewels, it still retains my preference, and I have a little anecdote: during the work on the house, a friend who was giving me a hand said to me, you are still the only worker I know who wears a Rolex... And that's what I like about Rolex. This watch is a real gem, and also a real tool watch.

Watch purchased in 2018 without a waiting list. It was really my holy grail at the time (now I have another one). The watch is really perfect. The strap is incredibly high quality, without any play and greatly contributes to the quality aspect of the watch. I do not regret my purchase. Too bad that at the time you couldn't choose inserts in several colors like now.

My first Rolex in almost 3 years. For me it is the essential to have in your collection whatever its reference. I like its versatility because it can be worn with any outfit, as well as shorts for a barbecue or as a suit for a wedding. I never get tired of it and I still love wearing it. It is a model and a reference that I recommend.

In my opinion, the Rolex Submariner Date is a must-have when you love watches. Almost 10 years after acquiring my first Rolex, I took the plunge and was lucky enough to be able to buy the Submariner before I turned 30. This watch is iconic, timeless and can be worn with everything. It is a watch that I am sure I will never get tired of or part with.
