Rolex Submariner 14060.
The last ‘genuine‘ Rolex Submariner as people tend to call them, with their aluminum bezel and streamlinedlugs. Here’s a story Michael did on this Rolex Submariner 14060M watch with 4-liner dial.
Why selectRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand.
Rolex is plainlythe most well-knownamong the world’s high-end watch brand names. You’ve heard of it even if you’ve never ever heard anything about Omega or Breitling, and evenPatek Philippe.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex clientgroups– those who know a lot, and those who understandextremelylittle. Enthusiastspurchase Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They might be less thinking aboutextremelyfine, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the best all-around watch forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex consumersdon’tknow much about watches, only that Rolex is the best. For them the primaryincentive is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a big compliment for the manufacturer— due to the fact that if even an individual who understandsnothingabout watches views one specificbrand name as “Number One”, the businessis doing something.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its extremelyhigh product quality extending over the lots of years of its presence. Rolex watches showtime accuratelyand are robust, strongand reputable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyconcentrates onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This holds true for the movements as well asfor the case. You will not discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so cleanly and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end manufacturerswith far morepriceyproducts.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the truth that the brandpresentedinnovativefunctionsrather early on which have made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmovement to the distinguishedKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer accreditation.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (currentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has ended up being a requirement for internal mechanical Rolex calibers. In 1927 the very first waterproofwristwatch was introduced and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– because to ensurethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be requiredto pull the crown every day.
The first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesessentiallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to integrate all 3features– automatedwinding, water-resistant case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the essentials.
Quicklyrecognizablestyle, Rolex Nantwich.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its superiorlegibility. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language internetportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only extremelycarefuladjustmentsto the iconicstyle of specificmodel collections over the yearshave actually resulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex designshaveonly seen incremental modifications for many years.
There are no unexpecteddesign shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are alteredonlyextremelygradually. Normaldesignfeatures like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet become part ofnumerousdifferentdesigns and have actuallyhardly everundergonemodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks very muchlike earlier models. It’s why it is constantlyeasy to recognize a Rolex from a distance.
ViewexpertGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not just the expertswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
This truth is real to a lower levelfor watches– except for Rolex. For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier circumstancefor gold Oyster models and the stylishgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or possibly even more, than the original purchase cost.
