So present everywhere that I was not very interested in it... Other watches in the crosshairs ;) still elsewhere but this ice blue dial and finally everything that makes the PRX pleases me the integrated bracelet, the tapestry background and the finesse of the watch especially compared to my other watches. Good watch, resolutely modern and vintage design and a good movement at a reasonable price.

My latest Tiffany blue

My second Rolex after a GMT2 stolen in the Paris metro....at the time the deepsea is like the explo easy to find in stores in the Pro models so I took the plunge. This watch has been my daily for 12 years. A big overhaul this year and it's off again. Very comfortable despite its size, it goes everywhere with me and finally I find the SUB too common or even too small :)

My Pro Diver

I like divers! a deepsea in daily but I wanted a bit of change and I like unusual watches. I came across this Diver in black, its original color for France, but when I discovered the blue version specific to the US market, I took the plunge on Chronex. I love its chic and sporty side! I found at Cartier in NY its original bracelet which never leaves it! I love its dial with all the details of an authentic CARTIER.

A rare and little-known diver

A watch that I have been looking at for a long time in vintage but whose original diameter is a little small for me... So by chance during a walk I came across this limited series 7th continent with a beautiful sunburst turquoise blue dial. I love its vintage side with a contemporary diameter of 41 mm. I change the bracelets according to the mood and it will be fluorescent orange this summer.

A historical diver in a limited series

Hello,
it took me a while to decide to take the plunge...telling myself that it was better to wait for a speed to acquire a moonwatch....What a mistake ;) this watch is great to wear even in 45mm! what I prefer is its super readable dial and with an incredible level of finish for its price. I have quite a few watches and much more expensive ones and I love this watch which gives me a lot of pleasure and that's what counts...I even hesitate to take the gold version


Super acquisition

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Rolex</strong> brand was created in <strong>1905</strong> in London by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis. It is today based in Geneva, Switzerland, and is recognized worldwide as one of the leading manufacturers of luxury watches. Rolex, <strong>often called the &ldquo;Crown brand&rdquo;</strong>, is synonymous with prestige, innovation and unparalleled reliability in the watchmaking world.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Rolex brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The year 1926 marked an important turning point for the brand with the launch of the first waterproof watch, the Rolex Oyster. The robustness and reliability of this watch were spectacularly demonstrated in 1927 when Mercedes Gleitze, a British swimmer, crossed the English Channel with a Rolex Oyster on her wrist.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 1945, <strong>Rolex launched the Datejust</strong>, the first automatic watch to indicate the date in a window on the dial. In 1953, Rolex introduced the Submariner watch, capable of withstanding depths of 100 meters. The same year, the brand presented the Explorer watch in homage to the first successful ascent of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, equipped with Rolex watches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its beginnings, Rolex is behind more than 400 patents, attesting to a perpetual search for improvement to guarantee its models unrivaled reliability. This DNA has allowed the brand to launch models that have marked watchmaking history and often become true myths such as the Rolex Daytona or the Rolex GMT-Master.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its creation and in particular with <strong>exceptional 50s in terms of innovations</strong>, Rolex has continued to launch new models and in particular:</p>

Rolex is also a major player in the field of philanthropy, supporting numerous programs in the fields of education, environment, arts and sports.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the iconic models of the Rolex brand?&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Rolex offers a variety of models, each with its own distinctive features. The main and most sought-after models are:</p>

<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Day-Date, also <strong>nicknamed "President"</strong> due to its association with many heads of state and influential figures, is another iconic watch from the Rolex brand. It is famous for displaying both the date and the day of the week in full, in addition to the time. The day of the week is usually indicated in full, adding a distinctive touch to its dial.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traditionally, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day-date_36"> Day-Date</a> is offered in an 18-carat gold case, whether in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum. This characteristic gives it a luxurious and prestigious look. The Day-Date bracelet called President is an iconic bracelet specially designed for this model, composed of three large and robust semi-circular links. The Rolex Day-Date is equipped with an in-house automatic movement, manufactured by Rolex. These movements are certified Superlative Chronometer for their exceptional precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/sky-dweller">Rolex Sky-Dweller</a></h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">Rolex Oyster Perpetual</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the <strong>epitome of the classic Rolex watch</strong>, with a 28-41mm Oystersteel case, water resistance up to 10 ATM meters, Oyster bracelet, caliber 3230 automatic movement, and an electric blue dial with luminous indexes. The Oyster Perpetual or OP is undoubtedly the little sister of the Rolex Datejust with a more discreet identity and a diversity of dials which have evolved over time into multiple colors and tones. The Oyster Perpetual collection models, not escaping the exceptionally strong demand for Rolex watches, are difficult to find, particularly for the most sought-after colors such as &ldquo;Tiffany&rdquo; blue.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/cellini_dual_time">Rolex Cellini</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Cellini is distinguished by its 39 mm 18-carat Everose gold case, its water resistance up to 50 meters, its brown alligator leather strap with 18-carat gold buckle, its automatic mechanical movement caliber 3132 , its white lacquered dial with applied indexes and dauphine hands.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The collection <strong>Cellini is Rolex's line of dress watches</strong>, dedicated to the art of fine watchmaking. It has evolved over time, moving from rectangular or asymmetrical watches to a more classic collection including the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/cellini_moonphase"> Rolex Cellini Moonphase</a>. All models in the Cellini collection pay homage to traditional watchmaking craftsmanship while bringing the technical perfection and contemporary aesthetics of Rolex. The Cellini is ideal for formal occasions and for those who appreciate timeless elegance and refined simplicity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite a great diversity of models since its beginnings in the 1960s, the Cellini collection has struggled to find its place alongside the iconic Rolex models, and was discontinued in March 2023 to be <strong>replaced by the Rolex 1908</strong>.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/sea-dweller">Rolex Sea-Dweller</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Rolex Sea-Dweller is a professional diving watch</strong>, with a 43 mm Oystersteel case, water resistance up to 4,000 feet, an Oyster bracelet with Rolex Glidelock and Fliplock extension system, an automatic movement caliber 3235, a black dial with luminous indexes, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with black Cerachrom disc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its launch in 1967, the Sea-Dweller or "SD" incorporates a helium valve very useful for professional saturation divers who sometimes have to spend several days in a decompression airlock. The helium molecules being so small - they have made their way inside the casing - must exit through this valve instead of decompressing inside the casing and thus damaging it by making it lose its watertightness. .</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/deepsea">Rolex Deepsea</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, the <strong>Rolex Deepsea is the ultimate diver's watch</strong>, with a 44mm Oystersteel case, impressive water resistance up to 12,800 feet, an Oyster bracelet with Rolex Glidelock and Fliplock extension system, an automatic caliber 3235 movement, a D-blue dial gradient from blue to black, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with black Cerachrom disc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Deepsea is inseparable from director James Cameron known worldwide for numerous films including &ldquo;Titanic&rdquo;. Out of passion for the abyss and to prepare the film &ldquo;Abyss&rdquo;, he co-financed with Rolex an expedition to the Mariana Trench (the deepest place in the earth's crust at -10,908 meters). The prototype<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/deepsea_challenge/126067"> Rolex Deepsea Challenge</a> having been attached to the submarine used by Cameron. Rolex will use the patents tested during this expedition to launch the Rolex Deepsea.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/perpetual-1908">Rolex Perpetual 1908</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Perpetual 1908 is <strong>an elegant and contemporary watch</strong>, part of the Rolex Perpetual collection. Here are its main characteristics. The watch sports a slim 18-carat (750/000) yellow or white gold case, measuring 39mm in diameter, with graceful lines and a subtly fluted bezel. The dial is available in intense white or intense black, featuring Arabic numerals 3, 9 and 12 as well as faceted indexes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Perpetual 1908 is equipped with caliber 7140, an automatic movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. It incorporates technological innovations such as the Chronergy escapement and the Syloxi silicon hairspring for high precision and shock resistance. Like all Rolex models, the 1908 benefits from the Rolex <strong>&ldquo;Certified Chronometer&rdquo;</strong> certification which guarantees performance in terms of precision of -2/2 seconds per day.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Perpetual 1908 combines tradition and modernity in a timeless design, embodying the brand's watchmaking excellence and celebrating its aesthetic heritage.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Rolex watch cost?&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Prices for <strong>new Rolex watches change every year, but most Rolex models cost between $ 6,000 and $ 40,000.</strong> A<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/oyster_perpetual"> Rolex Oyster Perpetual</a> costs around $ 5,000, while a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day-date_40">Rolex Day-Date 40</a> in yellow gold costs almost $ 40,000.

<h2 dir="ltr">Rolex: The brand of all superlatives!</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Rolex is more than a watch brand, it is an institution in the world of watchmaking. Renowned for the exceptional quality and reliability of its watches, the brand has carved out a unique place for itself in the world of luxury. Rolex is a preferred choice for those looking for a watch that combines traditional craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology and timeless design. To own a Rolex is to own a piece of watchmaking history, a symbol of success and distinction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To find out more about the brand and its models, I invite you to consult the official Rolex website. Finally, remember that each Rolex is often considered a work of art, an investment that is passed down from generation to generation.

<p dir="ltr">(Updated November 2024)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

One of the most successful dials at ROLEX defines this extraordinary diver, 44mm and 210gr on a mini wrist of 17.5mm, it's tough! Brutal and massive, but not only that, one of the most successful bracelets, thin before the arrival of its replacement 126660, too wide for my taste, this exceptional piece produced 4 years between 2014 and 2018, benefits from technological advances (the adjustment of its buckle, the depth to which it could accompany a dive, its robustness and its precision (the famous 3135 COSC)), it is a reference having lost its splendor with the 136660 (3rd generation of Deep-sea). It made me dream, it is super comfortable, readable and recognizable without its cyclops. A must!

Captivating!
