Rolex Submariner 41mm
Last year Rolex introduced its new Submariner collection and the world freaked. The brand-new Submariner 41mm is slightly larger than the previous design, had a larger lug size, but thinner lugs that mayremind a bit more of the non-ceramic Submariner models.

The Explorer was always a littlea Rolex for those who know. And possibly it still is, however it did get remarkabletraction on our site when Rolex introduced the new 36mm editions in steel and in bi-color.

Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Pepsi’
A Rolex GMT-Master II is hot, and possiblyhotter than it ever was in the past. We did an introduction of all Rolex GMT-Master watches in this article, from the really first referenceto today’s offered designs.
After a short while of being onlyin the brochure (I won’tcompose “available“) with a jubilee bracelet, the Oyster bracelet is back. There wasn’t much fussabout it when Rolex did its newintroductions, but it was gotten by the fans rather rapidly.
We covered the resurgencehere.

Rolex Submariner 14060.
The Submariner 14060 is still hot! This stoppeddesign is desired and prices are ever-increasing. The last ‘real‘ Rolex Submariner as individuals 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 selectRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand.
Rolex is plainly the most popularamongst the world’s luxury watch brands.
Essentiallythere are 2 Rolex customergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who understandextremelylittle.
Other Rolex customersdo notunderstand much about watches, just that Rolex is the best. For them the mainmotivator is this: if you’re going to use a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a hugecompliment for the manufacturer— because if even an individual who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the businessis doing something right.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh product quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches show time accuratelyand are robust, durableand trustworthy.
Maintainingconsistently high quality with projectedannual production numbers of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s advantage to omitunusualcomplications.
It has no tourbillons, perpetualcalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a large date display, power reserve indicatoror alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationcontinuous. This holds true for the movements in addition tofor the case. You will not 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 morepriceyitems.
It’s got whatever a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the truth that the brand namepresentedingeniousfeaturesquite early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex founderHans Wilsdorf submitted a watchmotion to the popularKew-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 first waterproofwristwatch was introduced and the automatedwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– because to make surethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and very first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These 2functions are reflected in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to combine all threefeatures– automaticwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the fundamentals.
Immediatelyrecognizabledesign, Rolex Watch Men’s.
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 webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycarefulmodificationsto the iconicstyle of specificmodel collections over the yearshave actually resulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex designshave actuallyjust seen incremental changes over the years.
There are no suddenstyle shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are changedonlyreallygradually. Typicalstylefunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet are part ofa number ofvariousmodels and havehardly everundergonechange so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks quitelike earlier designs. It’s why it is alwayseasy to recognize a Rolex from a distance.
EnjoyprofessionalGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter guideline“– and it’s not simply the professionalswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
The moment you purchase a car, it drops in value by half. This truth is true to a lesserdegree for 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 sophisticatedgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or perhaps even more, than the originalpurchase rate. This is an appealing point for any client— no matter whether they are purchasing the look forthis specificfactor or any other. It’s assuring to know you’ve made a sensibledecision. Rolex Watch Men’s.
