After 22 years this still looks amazing
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

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

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!!!

Why they shouldn't change the Submariner.

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. + -)... |

Maintenance History?
It would really be interesting to know what has happened to this watch regarding maintenance or parts in 22 years. Beautiful timepiece.
