Rolex Submariner 41mm
Last year Rolex introduced its brand-new Submariner collection and the world went mad. The brand-new Submariner 41mm is a little larger than the previous model, had a bigger lug size, but thinner lugs that mightadvise a bit more of the non-ceramic Submariner models.

Rolex Daytona
It is somewhatfantasticthat the Submariners receive more reads than the Daytona on Fratello. Howeverpossibly some individualsjust have quit on the brands‘ chronograph that is just unobtainable.Unless you wantto invest as much for this steel iconicwatch as a mid-size familyautomobile.

Here’s a story Michael did on this Rolex Submariner 14060M watch with 4-liner dial.
Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand name.
Rolex is clearlythe most popularamongst the world’s high-end watch brand names. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, and evenPatek Philippe.
Basicallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowreallylittle. Connoisseursbuy Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They might be less interested inverygreat, complicatedcraftsmanshipin favor of having the very best all-around look fordailywear.
Other Rolex customersdon’tunderstand 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 substantialcompliment for the maker— because if even an individual who knows nothing about watches views one particularbrand name as “Number One”, the businessis doing something right.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh product quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches revealtime properlyand are robust, durableand reliable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The companyfocuses onwhat it does best, and improves the detailongoing. This holds true for the motions as well asfor the case. You will not discover a turning bezel that ratchets so easily and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith far morecostlyproducts.
It’s got everything a watch requires.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the truth that the brand nameintroducedingeniousfeaturesquite early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmotion to the popularKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlyconducted by the Swiss institute COSC) has become a standard for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first water-resistantwatch was introduced and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– because to make surethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2features are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratespracticallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to combine all threefunctions– automaticwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the basics.
Quicklyidentifiabledesign, Rolex Pearlmaster.
The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language webportals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallycarefulmodificationsto the iconicstyle of individualmodel collections over the yearshave actually resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex modelshaveonly seen incremental modifications over the years.
It’s why it is alwayseasy to recognize a Rolex from a range. EnjoyprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the expertswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
The moment you purchase a cars and truck, it drops in value by half. This truth is true to a lowerlevel for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport designs in stainless-steel at least (though this is a stickier situationfor gold Oyster models and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get simplya little less, or perhaps even more, than the originalpurchase rate. This is an appealing point for any customer— no matter whether they are buying the expectthis specificfactor or any other. It’s reassuring to understand you’ve made a smartchoice. Rolex Pearlmaster.
