Once again, I realized that Submariner is #1 Sports Watch

[cbahn]

I have once wrote a post contemplating that rolex price may have gone far and catching up with other high-end brands with superior case finishing and movement cosmetics.

However, upon wearing new rolex submariner ceramic, my thought has been proven wrong once again.

Surely, rolex won't be able to catch up to high-end brands like PP or VC in terms of finishing and complications, yet in the field of simple time-only (or an option of date complication) sports watch, I believe that rolex submariner serves its purpose accompanied with its brand name value and history better than any other sports watches made by PP (Nautilus 5711) or AP (15300/15202)

AP's cal 2121 for jumbo is essentially an ultra-thin movement and thus inherently weak to shocks and stress. AP's cal 3120 might stand a better chance but I heard it had issues with its minute hand shifting when crown is pushed back. Also, despite the fact that I admire its beautiful 22 karat gold rotor, I feel that it is not time-proven enough to match the reliability of 3135 movement.

I apologize for the rambling, but am I the only person who believes that rolex makes the best non-complicated sports watch?
