In this article, we will review what’s probably one of the most important new watches of 2020, the brand new Rolex Submariner 41-millimeter reference 124060. 

Rolex Submariner is undoubtedly among the most iconic and replicated watches of the industry, a watch that most people, not only watch enthusiasts know and recognize, a watch that has become a modern icon of design.

Born in 1953, the Rolex Submariner has become a reference for dive watches, and since its introduction, the whole concept behind it has remained very consistent. 

This year Rolex is launching multiple new models in the collection including numerous versions with dates and of course the no-date version.

With its classic black on black scheme and steel case, the new submariner 41 millimeter is more of an evolution than the revolution.

At first, it will be hard to spot the differences with the older version, but the devil is in the details, and indeed most elements have been updated, changed, or redesigned. 

Starting with the case, the diameter has evolved from 40 millimeters in the past to now 41 millimeters, but there is more as the proportions have changed. 

The lugs are now more tapered than before, slightly slimmer making the case more elegant

The crown guards have been reworked too. The lug width has moved from 20 millimeters in the previous version to now 21 millimeters.

Small updates for sure, but altogether it gives the watch a better balance and it doesn’t feature the super case anymore.

The water resistance is still rated at 300 meters, thanks to the triplock screw-down crown. Regarding the dial and bezel of the new Rolex Submariner 41 millimeter, no major evolution can be seen, as the dial is still black lacquered with white gold indexes and hands. 

Of course the Submariner is still a Sub and keeps all the iconic elements such as the Mercedes hands and the combination of rectangular, triangular, and round hour markers, all filled with Rolex’s own Chromalight luminescent material.

The unidirectional bezel retains its black Cerachrom insert with a 60-minute scale.

All numerals and markers are coated with platinum. 

The bezel operates as usual, super smoothly with 120 clicks.

To fit with the rest of the case of this new Sub, the oyster bracelet has also been proportioned, being one millimeter wider, including the clasp. It keeps its sturdy and practical oyster clasp with Gridlock extension system, allowing to fine adjust up to 20 millimeters. 

The major evolution to be found on the Sub 41 millimeter is mechanical, as it now features the latest generation of Rolex movement, the new caliber 3230, an automatic chronometer with hours minutes, and seconds. Equipped with the modern chronergy escapement it has a comfortable power reserve of 70 hours and anti-magnetic properties. The new Rolex submariner 41 millimeter will be priced at 7 700 swiss francs and will soon be available at retailers. 

If paying this amount for a timepiece is out of your budget, stay tuned, we are working on mastering the manufacture of this new model.

This review is going to be on the overly anticipated but highly overrated Rolex GMT reference number 126710BLNR.

Baselworld 2019 obviously passed a long time ago and the watches were released. The Batman with the Jubilee bracelet was released, however, I think that maybe an introduction of the coca-cola might have been a better play.

It’s obviously a nice watch, I’m not gonna hate on it so if you’re out there dreaming about this watch – dream on! It is a beautiful watch, I just don’t know if it was expertly necessary from Rolex to come out with the Jubilee bracelet on the Batman, which was already nice with an Oyster band. Now it’s like, put everything on a Jubilee band and everything’s gonna be good.

One thing that concerns me about this watch, is the hype and the price. People are buying them, I don’t really see the market moving as much, but do I want to pay $25,000 for a Jubilee Batman? Absolutely not!

The watch gets released and it’s pretty much the same play as the Pepsi- double retail, you can’t get it, waiting lists and so on. The ADEs are playing us, or is Rolex playing the ADEs? I don’t know what’s going on nowadays, it’s hard to tell you, but I feel like Pepsi was more justifiable just because it’s a remake of a vintage piece. I don’t say I hate it, I’m not really sure if I like it for that price. At retail, I think it would make sense, $10,000 watch- no problem! $20,000 watch- I’ll buy a gold piece for that or a steel AP. I just don’t really see it that much as a collector or such a solid piece.

I’m going crazy over people calling me and asking to buy a Jubilee band for their Batman. Guys, Rolex is smarter than that, you think they would make something that you can interchange that easy? They don’t. You got to go above and beyond to make that happen. So I feel like the Pepsi was a good play last year, but I feel like the Batman is gonna put a dampener on it. We’re right now in the summer of 2019, and I still think that the Pepsi is going to overshadow the Batman in the Jubilee game, so as far as the actual bracelet is concerned I think they did a pretty good job.

I’m not sure I would have liked the hidden clasp because after all it is a sports model, and you want the safety clasp.

Overall Rolex did a great job, it feels very sturdy and the clasp, for me at least, is ideal. There’s an opinion that resonates with me, that the Jubilee bracelet Rolex watches goes best with vintage watches.

In this article we’re will review arguably the biggest release of the 2017 Rolex collection.
This watch was shown at Basel this year 2017, and this is the brand new Rolex Sea-Dweller Reference 126600, not to be confused with Rolex Sea-Dweller Reference 116600, now discontinued.

I think it’s probably the most interesting comparison here because this is really the next version of that. We do see some noticeable changes, from the old watch.
The old Sea-Dweller is 40 millimeters in diameter, the new is 43 millimeters, so we pick up three millimeters in diameter. We still have a helium escape valve on the side, which is a trademark of the Sea-Dweller.

For the first time ever, we have a Sea- Dweller with a cyclops window. So to introduce a Sea-Dweller with a cyclops, is to be honest with you quite controversial, as many things are in this watch world. And you know, the feedback has been, neither here, nor where, it’s been- some people, that love the watch and the functionality, like it, because, It is actually easier to see the date, and then the purists, of course, say a Sea-Dweller should never have a cyclops window.

Further, we have a Sea-Dweller line written in red text, that is an homage to the very very first Sea- Dwellers called the single red Sea- Dweller, which were really just prototype watches introduced in 1967.

What’s interesting, about this watch is, that it replaces the reference 116600, which was only around for two years. And while it seems very much the same, it’s actually a wholly different watch.

We have the caliber Reference 3235, based on another caliber designed for a Day-Date in 2015, so now we have instead of 48-hour power reserve, we have 70 hours. We have a nickel, phosphorous caliber, completely amagnetic, and we have a Chronergy escapement, which is a much more kind of fluid transfer of energy.

It is a big watch, there’s no question about it, but, it is a professional tool watch. On the bezel, of course, it’s ceramic, PVD coated in Platinum for durability. It features the Chromalight, which glows blue. Chromalight actually glows for about eight hours.

What’s interesting, about the Sea-Dweller, and now many of the Rolex watches, that they come with these amazing bracelet expansion tools, so you can expand the bracelet without any tools, and that is just one of the two ways to expand the bracelet. If you have a diving suit, for example, this clasp here will extend the bracelet by a full 7 millimeters, and you can put it on the outside of your dive suit.

This is a watch that will not fit as daily wear for most. If you’re a bigger guy, then it makes a lot more sense. It’s really designed for people, that want a true to a watch in the truest definition of the term.
The retail price is $11.350, which is approximately a thousand dollars more, than the last generation Sea-Dweller, which is $10400, so that the price increased there is time, of course, but, also I think, the upgraded movement which I think, is really a big part, of what makes Rolex so special, and the fact, that they can talk about these watches, and nobody even mentions the fact, that they have a whole new escapement.

They have tons and tons of patented technology. This caliber alone has 40 new patents on it, so again this is the Reference 126600 the brand new single red Sea-Dweller in stores, right now. If you don’t want to break the bank, you can always find you Rolex clone in our store.

A Week On The Wrist: The Rolex Datejust

The watch we review today is really a true classic, it’s the Rolex Datejust. It’s 36 millimeters and it remained largely unchanged for 60 years.

The Datejust was first introduced in 1945 with the reference 4467. This was the first automatically winding watch with an automatically changing date function on the dial.

In 2009 Rolex introduced the Datejust II – a new take on the Datejust with a new movement and a larger 41-millimeter case size, but the watch we review is the modern incarnation of the original. The case is a little wider and has a little bit of a sporty-er feel but overall it wears very similarly on the wrist.

On the wrist, the 36 millimeter Datejust wears extremely well. 36 millimeters may sound small to a lot of people and by modern standards, it certainly is on the small side, but to anybody who likes vintage watches and who’s worn a vintage watch, this may actually feel large for 36 millimeters. The case has sort of wide set lugs and it’s not thick but it’s not particularly thin either, it feels really balanced and especially paired with the Oyster bracelet it feels sporty-er than you might think.

Not only are you getting the history of the Datejust with this watch but you’re also getting all of Rolexes history. You’re getting the first waterproof case, you’re getting the first movement with an automatically changing date, you’re really getting a lot of history in a relatively simple looking watch and like all Rolex watches this is a chronometer, so you’re getting a cost certified in house movement in an extremely robust watch great for everyday use that you can wear in nearly any circumstance and which will undoubtedly outlast you.
