Thanks for sharing. Some of those letters should be pinned as standard answers to those Is It Sace questions [emoji106]



“I have worn a Rolex Submariner for 17 years now and used it throughout the world on mountain climbing expeditions (including Mount Everest), underwater archaeological research (including the world’s highest dive at 19,300 feet in Northern Chile), desert crossing, sky diving, jungle exploration and during numerous anthropological investigations. I doubt that many people have subjected a Rolex watch to worse punishment over such a period of time. Yet it still functions perfectly.”

I wish Rolex would make some sort of accommodation to again allow our soldiers to purchase the black submariner or the Explorer 2 at a discount at Military Exchanges. So many of these great stories come from service members that were able to purchase a Rolex during their time in the military.

Sounds like me when I first purchased my watch. I asked my AD if it's true a Rolex can go under water... He looked at me perplexed and said this watch can go 220m below water. I came home dunked it in water and was amazed. Here's a picture of the day I purchased. I was only 24... Forgive me everyone! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...36c6718fc2.jpg

We're so fixated on the value of our time pieces (me too) that we sometimes forget the real reason why we purchased these amazing timepieces. When I purchased my 116610LV I purchased it because I was advised that the Submariner is built like a tank and will serve you for the remainder of your life... 3 years in and it's been AMAZING.

The above link has some amazing stories and indeed very inspiring.

Enjoy!

Now 98% of Rolex owners sit behind a desk and letters would go something along the lines of "Survived another corporate layoff while wearing my Rolex" or "Edge of my desk put a ding in my clasp. Should I send it in for laser-welding?"

Hope he doesn’t reads this...but I’m almost sure he is busy outside dressing the tyres on his Jeep Wrangler or looking at winch kits so it can cope with next weeks highway commute to work.
