It was perfect 22 years ago and today it still is a perfect watch.

That's Rolex' strength, their designs are truly classics
A quarter of a century old and it still looks like a modern , new ..... TIMELESS watch

yannis · 9 February 2009, 08:27 AM

It looks like new!! Have you had it serviced recently?

dardeca · 9 February 2009, 08:27 AM

Besides it wasn't always mine, I bought it some years ago

yannis · 9 February 2009, 08:31 AM

It really looks good mate!

Bisquitlips · 9 February 2009, 08:49 AM

Perfect!!! And it will look just this good in another 20!

chenx15 · 9 February 2009, 08:57 AM

wow

B.B.B. · 9 February 2009, 09:14 AM

one of the reason why must keep a rolex. now we're pretty sure you already have lots of stories with that sub.

Nucengineer · 9 February 2009, 09:17 AM

Damn!! You ain't kiddin!!! One thing about the Sub, it is the one all others emulate and it truely is a timeless design. Very nice.

Boopie · 9 February 2009, 09:18 AM

Looks great! Is that the original crystal?

kcmo · 9 February 2009, 11:16 AM

A beauty!

Brunotheboxer · 9 February 2009, 11:19 AM

WOW!

Its stuff like this that makes me love my Sub even more.

Overkill · 9 February 2009, 11:25 AM

I didn't know Subs had a 300m depth rating 22 years ago!

karmatp · 9 February 2009, 11:37 AM

Looks fantastic

No matter how bad you beat up your watch, a simple service will make it look like the day you bought it.

Rolexitis · 9 February 2009, 11:37 AM

Looks great. I plan to have mine for EVER!

Rob_b · 9 February 2009, 11:37 AM

Beautifull, the design is simple yet tough

Lion · 9 February 2009, 11:47 AM

To me the SUB is a timeless classic and a great watch to own and use. I would bet that it will be around for another 25 years or more and continue to be a must have watch. The only problem I see is sharing my wrist with other Rolex models!!!

gtbike72 · 9 February 2009, 12:29 PM

such a beauty..

Nica64 · 9 February 2009, 12:53 PM

Wow!! 22 years and it looks great!!!

I'm 22 and looks worst than that

azmmza · 9 February 2009, 01:30 PM

Why they shouldn't change the Submariner.

hflee55 · 9 February 2009, 01:45 PM

marshallr47 · 9 February 2009, 03:31 PM

When I was a young man I worked part time for B. B. & B.
I bought a Rolex back then (seems like 300 years ago) and it is still
working today, keeping good time like a Rolex should (2min. + -)...

And the main reason why I still insist on calling it the ULTIMATE and QUINTESSENTIAL Rolex watch out there......one which will live on forever!!
