What are people’s thoughts on a Rolex Sub? For some reason to me the datejust is the poster Rolex. Would love inputs! Tia

Objectively, a very relevant watch to this hobby that is immensely popular and will likely stay popular.

Subjectively, I don’t find them interesting. I see them as one of the watches people get to be a status symbol / for cache and that if you’re dropping that amount of cash on a watch, there are far more interesting brands and models.

Thank you very much! Really appreciate your time and input

I started my watch journey being intrigued by the Submariner, determined it was too basic, then tried on my brother’s 114060 and confirmed it wasn’t for me (didn’t like the super case.) 10 years later, I reignited my interest in Rolex after cycling through many other brands, tried on the 124060 and knew I had to have it. It goes with everything and is built like a tank, and I will be passing it down to my son.

I've never been a fan of the submariner. It is most certainly easily identifiable as a Rolex, which is what turns me off, as I am not one to buy into the brand hype. Same with the Royal Oak, I don't care for the design, but I do get the draw.

Thoughts on what?

Both are super comfortable to wear. That’s another reason for popularity beyond everything else that’s been said here.

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
