Funny Rolex Submariner blue

The Rolex Submariner was a watch I had admired for a number of years and I finally treated myself to one a couple of years back and I have to say I love it with an absolute passion. The Submariner that I have was pre-owed when I bought it but it was manufactured in that same year that it was bought and was in excellent condition.

It will put more than a little dent in your bank account to purchase but you will always feel good in the knowledge that this watch is a classic and is almost certain to hold its value as it has done over the years. I never actually thought I would consider selling this piece on, as mentioned it is one of my favorites and unlike various other watches I have I do wear it often. I really did see it as one of the pieces that I would take pleasure in handing down to my boy when he is old enough to appreciate it. However, although not keen when first launched I have recently become partial to the 50th Anniversary edition Rolex Submariner blue! The real dilemma is I can't really justify having two similar Subs and the way I see it it's one or the other. Something I'm sure I'm not going to be able to conclude easily!

Finally, worth a mention is a very similar watch to the Submariner produced by Rolex, a big brother if you like, and that is the Rolex Sea Dweller. If you were considering the Sub it would be worth a look at the Sea Dweller for a comparison. Although a very nice and beautiful watch it is a little larger than the Sub and therefore a little too big for my liking. I personally would not be able to justify the outlay for a watch just to sit in its box at home. All the watches that I have or have had in the past I wear, some very occasionally, but wear none the less! I have tried on a few Sea Dwellers, even borrowing one of a friend for a few days for an extra long trial, but even though the size/weight difference compared to the Sub is not that great it just did not feel right!
