Back in the 1990s, I worked at FedEx. I worked as both a loader and courier. I wore my 16610 for five years at the job and I can assure anyone reading: the watch is very tough. I had several things happen where I was sure I was going to look down and see a cracked crystal, but it survived fine. The wear marks were visible on the case and bracelet, but the bezel and crystal stayed pristine somehow.
I'd only be concerned about the movement after taking a big hit, but even that is pretty solid. Durable inside and out!
Great video. The whole not wearing a watch for fear of wear is a phase probably every new watch owner gets at one point or another. Back when I was in college, I scraped together a few hundred for my SARB017. While that isn't much in the grand scheme of things, it was pretty much the world to me at the time. I wanted to keep it as pristine as possible and rarely ever wore it. I did eventually mar it, and it devastated me at the time, but eventually got over it when I reminded myself that that watches were made to be worn. Ultimately, the thing that I love most about watches is the big grin I get on my face when I look at any of my watches on my wrist, imperfections and all. As a wise man once said, scars tell the whole story.
This is a great video. I absolutely love my 114060. I saved a really long time to get it, and it was everything I hoped for and more. It's a great watch with an awesome history that has had incredible influence on the entire watch industry. I wear it around the clock and it currently has more than a few scars. It is a watch designed to hold up to the rigors of life and IMO it's most enjoyable when you just put it on your wrist and don't fret when life comes at it. Even if you bang it up hard, the movement will be fine. The 3130 is an absolute monster.
Editing is one of the best on TH-cam, pure class. Great music also. Drool shots 🤤
My yacht master is still my favorite time piece and love wearing it every chance I get. It still catches my eye as it did the day I decided on it.
Should I have bought a Rolex Submariner in 1973 ?
Darn right ! The same 5513 is still on my wrist with two weeks to go to my 65th birthday
That's a hell of an investment considering you probably only paid a couple hundred for it at the time.
@@monkeyman8265 I was 17, and went with my older brother who was in float plane pilot training "up north". He came for a visit, and I went with him to a jewelry store, and he bought a GMT Master. The jeweller asked me if I was interested in one. I was in High School, and making a dollar an hour in an after school job. He said I could put it on layaway and pay on it every two weeks. That sure doesn't happen today ! I was blowing money on teen stuff, and thought it was a forever thing. It took me a over a year to get it paid. It was somewhere under $300 $CAN.
My Sub is from 1977. It's been all over the world. It's dived in some of the most exotic vacation spots in the world. It's been through hell and back and still keeps good time. Last year after years of resistance I finally took it off its original bracelet because on several links I literally had scotch tape holding the rivets together. I have it on an Everett rubber strap now, but I long to put another era-correct Rolex bracelet back on.
I am glad to see people who actually use their watches, cars etc. rather than hiding them in a safe or garage.
@@thethomasj1795 I love my Everett band .. I have kept my bracelet unworn ! Have you ever serviced your piece ?
Great video! You have some pretty insane pieces like your AP and VC, wish you'd make a full state-of-the-collection video soon!
I can relate to this video 100%. Always had a fascination with watches, owned everything from Seiko to gshock to bulova in the past but always loved Rolex and something about the submariner resonated with me. When I realized that it was featured in my favorite movie series of all time 007 James Bond I knew I had to have one. It’s rumored that Bond was supposedly to be wearing an Omega during filming but Sean Connery refused and wore his personal Rolex submariner instead saying it was “the true gentleman’s watch”.
I manage a group of restaurants and saved every spare dollar I had but never thought I would be able to afford one. When the stars aligned and I had the money at the time one was available, I took it and was initially SCARED to wear it for fear of scratching it. I remember the exact moment where I was at and what time it was when I first clipped it on a table. I was mortified. Until my girlfriend talked some sense into me and said basically exactly what you did. It’s art you can wear and all that matters is that you appreciate it. People waste so much time getting wrapped up in what other people think. If you like it, buy it and WEAR IT! You’ll be amazed at the conversations it starts.
Thanks for the perspective! I've been having the same thoughts about my Sub I've had for a few years, living mostly in the safe. I think it's time for me to change that!
Bro I have no idea why there isn’t hype around your channel. Sick watches, slick lyricist, edit is life, yeah boy. 👏🔥
Perfect summarisation, couldn’t have explained better!!!
anyone who is seriously considering purchasing this watch or one like it needs to watch your video. This advice and your experience that led to it is priceless man. Fantastic content
Great video man! Love that you wear your watches and not keep them locked away
Mine is 5 years old as well. It has had wrist time almost every day since I bought it. One of the best purchases I have ever made.
“I want some cake and I’m gonna have it now, everyday until I die from malnutrition” 🤣 as a Dietitian, this made me laugh so hard. TY!
Great video and loved the knife reference 👍🏻. Thanks for sharing my friend.
I very much prefer my watches to develop character through wearing and use. I prefer to buy new, but then I'll wear them everywhere and doing everything.
Nice vid bro.. I strongly agree with what your saying about enjoying the item's u buy...
Man, just discovered this channel! Fantastic shots and presentation. Subbed!
Amazing video, I have my sub for more then a year now and it’s so beat up. Love it
Great vid. First one I've watched of yours. Funny guy haha. Thumbs up!!
Been binging this channel lately. Hidden gem!
Great review sir! Excellent shots and wise words! New to your channel but you just earned my sub. Keep it up!
Another great video man and you hit some great points!
Thanks for the insight into your ownership experience and great video work on the sub!
i love the advice. i work on an aircraft carrier right now, so i don’t think that’s the place for a Rolex. BUT, i WAS holding back on wearing some of my other watches, but you’ve changed my mind about that now.
Thanks, Bro 🙏🏾
It's a tough watch, an instrument, am sure you won't have any issues. If you're splitting wood, just use a GShock then:)
Love the macro close up shots, been a while since I saw your videos but the quality has jumped significantly! Glad you still wear the Sub from time to time, I agree that you don't really bond with a watch until you just wear it (scratches be damned)
Thanks! Glad to hear the quality has gone up
My mother always said, "you only live once." Cheers.
Everybody says that.

@@TheCed5000
Agreed 👍🏼
Great watch video! Loved the full dress blade reference, made me check out your channel and subscribe. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos.
5 years ago was sweet, all the Rolex Sport models were readily available on display and the second-hand value was under retail price. I got my brand new no-date sub walking into an AD but had few problems with the watch and due to that i sold it 2 years after. Although the problems turned me off in the end but i have to admit i was in love with the watch.
I have a 99 14060m Swiss only and I love it. When I first got it I wasnt sure if I should wear it or not but my friend who had some rolexes said it won’t be my good luck charm if it stays locked up. I threw it on a nato and it’s my daily
Well played, young man. Enjoy it, you only get one life. Great channel to boot. 👏🏻👍🏻☘️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience.
Dang... you are so right. Thanks for the upload because I was feeling the exact same way which is why I haven't bought one yet but I''m going to now. Good call on the no date btw.
Great, I love this. Thanks
Well said there! Enjoy the watch. Scratches and dings are part of the journey.
Refreshing review, thank you 👍👍
Great video. Was randomly recommend and kept me engaged. Love your story. Enjoy your cake
I transitioned from plastic Casio digital watches to a luxury watch when i bought new in 1986 a Rolex 1016 Explorer. I didn't know any better than to wear it - so I learned that wearing a new luxury watch is what you do with a watch - luxury or not. It's a good feeling to be able to wear your watch! Good vid. Keep at it!
Casio is overrated anyways 😂👌🤙👋😎
That's a helluv transition
Good insights. These little marvels of micro engineering (especially your Sub) are so capable and totally able to withstand a beating beyond what most of us do during a normal day. I'm all about "babying" a piece until I've decided it's a keeper and then once that's established it's fair game to develop all the lovely wear and tear/patina that makes it MY watch instead of A watch.
Well said!
Damn good perspective! Thanks.
Granted in totality! Sublimely simplistic, symmetrical with bezel being the most usable every day complication. Robust, reliable and ready after a quick and simple wind and set. Glide lock used once is difficult to live without! 114060 is to use in life 'cuz there ain't no rehearsal!
Nice PRS in the beginning! Thought I had clicked on the wrong video at first haha.
Same experience with my explorer 214270 ! Thanks for sharing your story !
Couldn't agree more. Got my hulk a few weeks ago and wear it daily now. Will probably get it in the rotation soon, but for now I'm just enjoying having it on my wrist
Really like your Videos!
I wear a 20 year old Sea Dweller, I love that it has been everywhere with me. It’s first journey was a pool at Disney, lol . I got it back last year after sending it to Rolex for a full service. I like sending it to the factory. so it costs more, i do not care, its home. And yess I have other big boy watches
I love a simple watch. My favorite is my Omega Speedmaster moon watch.
Great video, I agree with pretty much everything you say here. I got mine in 2018 when it was hard to get but not impossible, just had to call around and get on a waitlist and then wait a month or so. And I also have a GMT like you as well. I’m sure you get asked this all the time but what camera / dolly gear do you use? You’ve got some great shots in your videos !
Great insight, great video... 😁
I have limited financial income. Being a collector with that disability tends to make your collecting slower and lower (in price). When I do reach the price of a purchase I get it. I have a couple of pieces I treat like a Rolex. After a couple of years I finally relented and started rotating my watches. Do I have favorites? Da*n skippy I do. However, in the end like you said, it's meant to be used. Thank you and keep the great content coming.
We're in the same situation, I guess. Of course I'll drool over a Rolex Sub but most probably if I have the cash in hand for one, I'd think over it many times before I would purchase one because of other commitments. Owning one is a dream but yeah, that's part of life and you don't always get what you want.
i love wearing my rolex gmt ll more often and i enjoy it never let it sit and be display i might say i buy what i want and enjoy it to fullest
Enjoy your watch brother the best thing is wen the 7th year comes remember to send it in for service and youl get it back like new. Me i love Omega seamaster with sedna gold and i wear it everyday. Enjoy your swiss made piece.
Really enjoyed your video. In 2000 my wife bought me a Sub. Gold two tone - we bought it together because I wouldn’t let her spend five grand on a watch. The same watch retails for $20,000 today. I definitely don’t wear it enough, but after watching your video I’m gonna get back to wearing it every day, just like I did 22 years ago. First I’m going to get more insurance on it. Thanks again for your quality video.
I can relate to what you said. Nice watch and content👍
I too own this watch, the awesome 114060! In 2018 I bought a used one (2015), I wore it for a year than I decided to sell it in order to buy a new one 114060 in 2019. For me the nicest luxury watch and this one tells my story from the beginning 😊
Spot on! It think it will be helpful to a lot of newcommers to the watch hobby :)
Thank you!
The Rolex Submariner Date is my favourite watch of all time, and i will probably buy it at the end of this year. Great video 👏
Buy it, you will love it. 👍
Make sure you talk to a jeweler NOW. The waitlist for these Rolex (especially submariners, GMT II, Yacht-master) are somewhere around 2 years. Unless you have a great friend in business, at which point you can probably buy one a year from when you start looking. Rolexes are sold out everywhere, WORLDWIDE and no jewelers, no Authorize Rolex dealers know when they are getting shipments, and when they do, they have a list of costumers who they have known and done business with for years that want them. So guess who they are gonna contact first when they get a few Rolexes in? Seriously man, if you want one for Christmas, start looking now and if you are VERY lucky, you may find one by then. (That is all assuming you do not want to pay 2x retail price... if so, you can buy them in the grey market right now - ebay, amazon, google shopping)
Not unless you out your name on a list 2 years ago....and have a long term buying relationship with an AD
I love that JLC! did you do a video on it?
Interesting content. Regards.
You're right about life being too short. Last August 8th before my wife passed away I was still hoping she would get better but as she was lying down saying she was just going to rest she told me if I ever get a chance to get a Rolex please do so considerate it from her. That she wishes she could get it for me but she didn't think she had the time. I told her time then again that we have all the time in the world she's going to get better. And we'll grow old together. She said no I don't think so time really is precious and I want you to get a watch like that and think of me. About 40 minutes later she said help me up. Looked into my eyes and dropped. I got her heart going and breathing again. But they notified me a few hours later she passed away in hospital .So now I watch watch videos and I think of her..
Heavy
Get a Rolex with the same year as the year u met your wife. It’s been a year, I’m sorry for ur loss.
So sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. Touching story, you definitely deserve a Rolex. Treat yourself.
Somebody get this man a rolex
You’re into custom knives man?! Awesome 😎 and agreed the sub is not as sexy as a knife of that description 😄
That PRS neck is beautiful. Your journey of the sub is how I feel about my guitars.
Great review. Always trying to get one, but moved on to gmt pepsi instead and living it.
I bought the 124060 on the grey market as I couldn’t stand the politics at the ADs nowadays where you have to buy 2-3 watches you don’t want just to get a chance at allocation. I can’t stop looking at my sub on my wrist. Absolutely stunning. Zero regrets paying the premium.
Bought my first Rolex back in 87, a SD and a year after that a Sub with date. Somehow was attracted to the lens on the crystal. Was slimmer than the SD and the date lens made it appearance wise a different watch. Then 2009 bought a ceramic Sub and a DS SD, I bought Rolex fairytale that there wouldn't be a SD...Then, once a ceramic SD magically appeared, grabbed one without hesitation. Followed a DS SD with 22mm lugs (the 21mm is just awful on that 44mm case and nearly 18mm height) and now I see a 41mm Sub with ceramic that more looks like a pre-ceramic. A far more elegant model if you ask me compared to the 1st ceramic edition. Would I buy it, already have. To the question now, if you can afford it, go ahead, won't disappoint you.
You’re a guitarist. I can relate to that honeymoon phase you’re talking about. Bought a 2001 secondhand Gibson in very good condition. I was caring it like a princess. After that, reality kicks in. These things are meant to be played. lol. Btw I love your work. One fine day, I hope to buy a modded Seiko from you.
They cant make music by themselves haha
The no date is my favorite.And there is no better feeling than wearing it instead of hiding it away.Great Vid🍀🍀👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Yaaaah good
great video! thinking about getting the 41mm sub for myself. It looked good on ur wrist. by the way what size is your wrist? Do you think it would be too big on 15.5cm wrist? Thanks
Love the Sub, but (on principle) I won't pay grey market prices to own one. Unfortunately the waiting period at my local AD is somewhere north of five years, so unless stainless steel sports watches fall out of fashion some time soon (unlikely), I probably won't be getting one from them either. In the meantime, my SMP300, Black Bay in Bronze and early 70s Ploprof will do nicely.
Bought my 114060 2019 from AD its
Best sub to date cut above the rest new ones make racket from the rotator 🤔👌
Thank you for this very video...picked up a 41 mm date a week ago and was concerned about wearing it...should I flip it??? Your video provided the validation I needed to use it and treat it like my BB '58...indeed a long time dead, just enjoy the Sub and don't sweat the occasional scratch. Thank you
wow....it is a refreshing thought......and though the sub he owns should easily be able to fetch him 10k plus in resale....it is a great way to enjoy what you have bought.
The best time is when you’ve got over the barrier of worrying about marking or scratching your watch, until then you’re always slightly nervous of enjoying the watch. Just get the damn thing worn I say, unless you’re holding it for somebody else to enjoy down the line. If so, what’s the point? The problem with this watch is that if you’re wearing it when trying other watches they just don’t measure up. For me however the date and cyclops makes the watch and gives the full Rolex experience. I even prefer the Breitling style beefing up of the case, it adds to the masculine tank character of the tool watch and they are pushing it back to being a dressy piece not a piece for a rugged outdoor lifestyle. I’ve also had mine 6 years now and it just keeps on delivering. It’s the piece I always look forward to wearing, mainly at the weekends. As for the current Rolex game with hyper inflated prices, I think it’s unfair on guys new to the game seeing good watches rise in price away to the skies like helium balloons. As for me, I ain’t paying for some greedy flippers luxury holiday. They nailed it with the first gen ceramic for me personally, and buying it at list easily from an AD back then is something lost today. The mighty 3135 just keeps ticking along like a Diesel engine in a tank. No matter what.
nothing boring about your sub!! it is a stunner!!!
Buy it wear it. Just got mine back from service….Rolex does a good job cleaning and servicing it to like new. Love the vid!
I’ve owned my steel Datejust II for the past 6 years and it’s full of scratches. But it still works perfectly.
Rolex makes tool watches that are designed to take a real beating. Still loving mine to this day.
No luxury watches for me yet. I have a hard time justifying the purchase based on service costs if I were to damage it, or it just needed a good tear down and oiling. I likely worry too much.
I can completely relate! Removed the bracelet from my Batman to protect it. Maybe that’s a mistake.
I’ve had mine for a year, mine has way more visual usage marks than yours once you get the first few the rest don’t matter anymore. Each mark is a part of you and something you’ve done. I’m a maintenance technician and I daily wear mine. Rolex designs these to be used daily by their owners, supposedly these watches are tested to take shocks up to 5000G. So those activities will cause stuffs and bumps and bruises on the watch.
Great vid.
Hi, I checked out your Amazon list and a lot of the items are no longer listed. Would you be able to submit a list not on Amazon?
I would love a 40mm sub or the new 41mm. But its way out of my reach with both not being sold at retail. I'm considering a superclone since that would be more affordable. Thoughts?
99% identical today, and at a price that seems more forgiving on the wallet.
I love wearing watches but since covid i stopped wearing them because i can't wear them at work 😥 i do stick to cheaper watches though xD my annual income is lower than what you paid for that 😬 oh well, maybe one day i'll earn enough to save up for a super nice watch. not trying to shame anyone who buys the expensive ones, i understand the craftsmanship that goes into producing amazing watches therefore pulling the price up.
Hopefully my next purchase , best of luck with it ...
Nice been wanting to get Rolex one day.
Watches and guitars. A man after my own heart.
Love it, wear it! My 2016 114060 has acquired a lovely patina.
What. Patina. No way. I got mine in 2017 and it still looks the same as when I got it.
The no date sub - the perfect timepiece.
To each their own but seeing the whole face of the watch is important
Right on !!! Been wearing a various sub models since 1968 and they're definitely my go to for daily wearer , plus I dive as well so even though I use a dive computer, I also wear a dive watch as a redundant system. Great choice !!!
No date is a very underrated watch :) im biased
Sick hollowbody PRS!
I wear mine and I am careful. I love the way it feels on my wrist and the way it looks. I also have an Explorer, but I think the Sub is my favorite. P.s. I put a Rubber watch band on the Explorer. Just seems appropriate. LOL
Dreaming of the 16570 mint with papers. One day. Soon.
Well said !
I’ve heard about your moded Seiko’s where does one get ahold of you regarding those?
Perfect point, that’s what there made for.
Why did you choose the Sub no date over the date? I love them both but can't decide
You can always buff it out if wanted. Remember do you use the product or does the product use you. Same with me and cars. Only to see no matter what it will loose value no matter what.
Another question, how often do you rotate wearing your watches?
I have the same watch, same year. What a beauty. Buying a Rolex sport model in 2021 is foolish because you can't get one without paying over retail, in fact nowhere near retail. I love mine, wear it every day and do everything in it. Mine looks far more worn than yours. :)
On the waiting list for the no date… but got a call from the AD offering the date version . Should I go for it or wait a lot more months?
The watch I have and love got it new 8 years ago from AD,and got money off can you imagine being able to do that now !
