Swiss Official Chronometer

Over the years I have owned a couple of Rolex and Tudor, Tudor made a less expensive line of watches Rolex, but under the name The Tudors. Now I have a vintage Submariner Date Oyster accuracy and Tudor in the 60-ies.

Rolex Submariner watch were I admired for many years and I finally treated to a few years ago, and I must say that I love him with an absolute passion. Submariner that I have from when I bought it, necklace jewelry but he was in the same year he bought (2004) and was released in very good condition.

Rolex model has a very long and interesting history, something that attracts me to do some hours, but I'm not going to say here, except coverage that the diver was introduced in the 50's, and it says it was built on the basis of the first Rolex Explorer.

There is a current version of the clock (Ref. 16610), but I prefer my watch without a date, just a personal preference! Other terms you may see / hear these two models, "undated Sub '(14060M) and" Under the date (16,610), for obvious reasons! To the untrained eye, they were not significantly different from the two close date and the "frog eye" on the chip. If you have a solution, somehow I could not see the other issues I want to date or not? . They have different movements, 3130 and Rolex Rolex 14060M 16 610 3135, essentially the same motion, but updated to include 3135. Although similar studies, bracelets patterns are different.This model is not COSC ", as is the case with all the submarines until 2007. This means that it is not, or not, stopwatch certified by the end of 2007. To watch COSC (Contr? Swiss Official Chronometer) certified hours through various stringent tests in different conditions and only a very small amount of time to waste (4 seconds) or acquired (6 seconds) per day. Each position following certification Submariner officially certified on the face of excellent timepiece, each clock is generated from this is not done in this formulation.

Watches made of stainless steel (40 mm in width, 12 mm deep) diving watch and has an index of water-resistant to 300 meters. Case black frame, which acts as a timer for up to 60 minutes.
As mentioned above, top-drilled pearl strand Rolex 31 Jewel Rolex 3130 automatic drive mechanism. This movement produces 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 50 hours.

Face-submariner is a masterpiece and perhaps one of the most copied in the history of watchmaking, Mercedes-style hands, a classic. Sapphire crystal.

Stainless steel bracelet heavy oyster bracelet with flip-lock, which has never failed me. This bracelet has changed very little over the years makes the use of screws in links, it is easy for self-calibration.

Visually, 14060M as legendary in 1950 and 60 get closer to the submarine as it can be and is, in my opinion, watching a beautiful appearance. Submariner watch at home on the wrist for any occasion, whether formal or casual. As mentioned above on this page, I love watches, defiantly a favorite!

It's a little more to buy a tooth to put in your bank account, but you will always feel good to know that this classic clock and almost certainly worth keeping, as it did for many years. In fact, I never thought I'd consider selling the piece, as already mentioned, this is one of my favorites, and unlike many other watches I have, I often wear. I saw him as one of the pieces that I would be glad to convey my boy, when he was old enough to appreciate adoption. However, although not in the mood when you first start (2003) I recently participated in the 50 th anniversary edition Submariner (Ref. 16610LV)! The real dilemma is that I can not justify two similar submarines, cheap pearl necklace as I see it, anyway. Something I'm sure that will not close in a position to be easy!

Finally, we note very similar to the Rolex Submariner, the elder brother, if you want it done and sea dweller. If by chance you were in it would be interesting to look at the Sea Dweller for comparison. Although it is very nice and beautiful watches, it is little more than a submarine, and too big for my taste. Personally, I could not justify the cost of hours, than to sit in his box at home. (Almost) all the hours that I have or have had in the past, I was dressed, very rarely, but not least, wear it! I tried some of the residents, including credit for another several days for a very long process, but if the difference in weight / height to the south is not so great, just not normal! So happy to stick with exceptional submariner.
