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

Why chooseRolex Watch?
It is the most recognizableluxurybrand.
Rolex is plainlythe most widely knownamong the world’s high-end watch brands. You’ve become aware of it even if you’ve never heard anything about Omega or Breitling, or perhapsPatek Philippe.
Basicallythere are two Rolex consumergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowverylittle. Fanaticspurchase Rolex for its extremelyhigh quality.
They may be less thinking aboutincrediblyfine, complicatedworkmanshipin favor of having the very best well-rounded watch forday-to-daywear.
Other Rolex customersdo notunderstand much about watches, only that Rolex is the very 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— due to the fact that if even a person who knows nothing about watches views one specificbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something right.
Consistentlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its veryhigh item quality extending over the numerous years of its existence. Rolex watches revealtime preciselyand are robust, toughand reliable.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessconcentrates onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationongoing. This holds true for the movements along withfor the case. You will not find a turning bezel that ratchets so cleanly and smoothly like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its rivals– even other high-end makerswith far moreexpensiveproducts.
It’s got whatever a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is connected to the reality that the brandintroducedinnovativefunctionsrather early on which have actually made the watch well-suited for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf submitted a wristwatchmotion to the prominentKew-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 in-house mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first water-resistantwristwatch was introduced and the automaticwinding mechanismfollowed a couple of years later on– since to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it shouldn’t be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, presented in 1945, was the first watch to combine all 3functions– automaticwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the basics.
Instantlyrecognizabledesign, Rolex Z Serial.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its style. The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its remarkablelegibility. Add to this a main sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf creation).
Existing collections are preservedand continuallyenhanced throughout the years. This is supported by Rolex professionalPercy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internetwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only reallymindfuladjustmentsto the renownedstyle of specificdesign collections over the yearshaveresulted in a high degree of recognition.”.
Rolex modelshavejust seen incremental changes for many years.
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 just the professionalswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its worth.
The moment you buy a vehicle, it drops in worth by half. This fact is true to a lowerextent for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport designs in stainless-steel a minimum of (though this is a stickier situationfor gold Oyster designs and the stylishgold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or maybe even more, than the originalpurchase rate. This is an attractive point for any consumer— despite whether they are purchasing the look forthis specificfactor or any other. It’s assuring to understand you’ve made a sensiblechoice.
