Close-Up: The New-Look Rolex Submariner (with Video)
Subtle but significant redesign is the hallmark of the redesigned Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner. The watch retains the Submariner’s immediately recognizable look but dispenses with the date window of previous models and incorporates several new technical innovations exclusive to Rolex.The watch’s unidirectional-rotating 60-minute graduated bezel is now enhanced with a black insert made of virtually scratchproof, non-fading, corrosion-resistant ceramic that Rolex calls Cerachrom. The graduations are coated in a PVD process with a thin layer of platinum. The hour markers and hands on the sleek, black dial are filled with Rolex’s proprietary Chromalight luminescent material, which emits a blue glow that the company claims lasts twice as long as that of other luminous substances used on watch dials.?The classical Oyster case of the new Submariner is 40 mm in diameter and water-resistant to a depth of 300 meters (1,000 feet). The case middle is crafted from a solid blo

Two Men Bought The Very Same Kind Of Watch On The Same Day In The Same Town, One Paid $950,000 More
Here is a question I receive at a frequency of more than three times per week, in person: "How much should I pay for a 5513 Sub?"To answer that question with less than six caveats does the inquirer, and the world of vintage watches, a disservice. For a late 5513 with white gold surrounds, the answer would be one thing. For an early matte dial, another. For a gilt, yet another. For an underline, another. For a military-issued 5513, still another. For an Explorer-dialed piece, yet another. Oh, and any of the above could range from x to x times three for an NOS example with box and papers. You see, the thing with vintage watches is, there is no "market price" for an entire category of watches – and that is the first thing I want new vintage watch lovers to understand. And that is why I am here to tell you about something that happened on November 8th, 2015 in Geneva – to show you just how wild this market is, so that you don't try to make general assump

Rolex sky dweller half gold black dial or submariner half gold blue dial
Dear All, I am going to buy my first Rolex. Need your advise on which watch to get. Both look equally nice to me but it seem like sky dweller is quite popular now.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Hi all,I'm so excited to share my new baby with you all today. I've been researching my first Rolex purchase since October when I got the go ahead from my wife to purchase a Rolex to celebrate my 40th birthday a bit later this year. I tried some on in October and was still unsure which model I preferred. Having a 7.5 wrist, I was unsure if models like the Explorer I 39mm, 40mm Submariner and GMT II, or something larger like the Explorer II 42mm would fit best. After much research, hours on the forums, more hours on Youtube reviews, I started to settle on the Submariner 114060 No Date model. It has the functionality (GlideLock, timing bezel and all brushed bracelet) and clean looks I was after. Then, as we all know, availability tanked. I wasn't able to find anything at local ADs through November to present. With Basel coming up and rumors of new models and price increases circulating, I decided that in order to get the watch I truly wanted, I was probably going to have to pounce as soo
