The last ‘genuine‘ Rolex Submariner as people tend to call them, with their aluminum bezel and sleeklugs. Here’s a story Michael did on this Rolex Submariner 14060M watch with 4-liner dial.
Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand.
Rolex is clearlythe most widely knownamong the world’s luxury watch brand names. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or evenPatek Philippe.
Fundamentallythere are 2 Rolex customergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandextremelylittle. Fanaticspurchase Rolex for its exceptionallyhigh quality.
They may be less thinking aboutexceptionallygreat, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the very best all-around look forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex customersdon’tunderstand much about watches, just that Rolex is the very best. For them the primaryincentive is this: if you’re going to wear a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a bigcompliment for the maker— since if even an individual who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh item quality crossing the many years of its presence. Rolex watches show time preciselyand are robust, sturdyand reliable.
Preservingregularly high quality with projectedannual production varieties of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to leave outunusualproblems.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a large date display screen, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This holds true for the movements along withfor the case. You won’t discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so cleanly and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end manufacturerswith much morecostlyitems.
It’s got whatever a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the truth that the brand namepresentedinnovativefeaturesrather early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for everyday wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmotion to the distinguishedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually become a standard for in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the very first water-resistantwristwatch was presented and the automatedwinding systemfollowed a number of years later– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be neededto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofunctions are reflected in the item name “Oyster Perpetual”, which embellishesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the very first watch to integrate all threefeatures– automaticwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the fundamentals.
Immediatelyidentifiablestyle, Rolex Edinburgh.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its superiorlegibility. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelycautiousmodificationsto the iconicstyle of specificmodel collections over the yearshave actually resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshavejust seen incremental changes over the years.
There are no unexpectedstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are alteredonlyveryslowly. Normalstylefeatures like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet belong toa number ofvariousdesigns and haverarelygone throughmodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks quitelike earlier designs. It’s why it is alwayseasy to recognize a Rolex from a distance.
ViewspecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the specialistswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its worth.
This reality is true to a lesser levelfor watches– other than for Rolex. For the high-demand sport designs in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier circumstancefor gold Oyster models and the elegantgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or perhaps even more, than the original purchase price.
