...because its such a great yachting trophy...

...and for those that race its the ultimate prize to wear a Sub engraved by Rolex to mark the achievement. I wear mine with great pride everyday! On top of that its the classic iconic Rolex that will never date...love my Submariner.

There are so many reasons
1. Timeless essentual Rolex
2. Rugged - worn working in the Oilfield for many years
3. Accurate - +1 sec/day
4. Holds it value (not for investment purposes, yet I wish I had bought a double red seadweller years ago)
5. Rotating besel for coarse timing
6. Can be worn with bluejeans or business suit
7. Recognized worldwide
8. Ultimate diving watch (pool diver or profesional)
9. Beautiful
10. Need I go on, just a great watch

I haven't worn my 14060 in a few months either. I broke it out for the last 2 days and loved it.
