Icon20 any one have a 2 tone submariner

Have had a submariner for about 6 months, really happy to have a piece of rolex history on my wrist, reading about the trest deep sea submarine and how a rolex designed for that test dive reach over 22,000 feet !!!!!! strapped to the outside of the sub. I know that the booklet that comes with the watch tells you about, but i saw on 'national graphic channel ' the story of that dive and how the watch survived!! And the best part is one someone ask you if that's a real rolex your wearing, and the famous line? Is it real !!!and you tell them, most say 'well i can get a copy for a few hundred dollers!! and a few others are in awe, But like alway's i hearing that the copy watche's only last about several weeks or months.And when they see me with my watch and tell me why i waste ? my time and dollar's collecting watche's i tell them 'because i've got a watch at least that can work and tell me time quite beautifully!!!::

Hi Sammir, welcome aboard!

Here's my TT Sub in action. I hope I don't have to test its waterproof rating doing this!

Cood for you Sammir..

The TT Sub is one of the most beautiful watches ever produced and a real looker on the wrist..

You're right, the copies are short lived where the real deal will last you a lifetime...

No counterfeit watches comes close to a real Rolex. Never will.
