3 weeks later… not connecting with my Submariner Date - moving on

[omar-rye]

I have yet to be in a room with a sea of Submariners or even a sea of Rolexes in general, or even a sea of Swiss watches, period. A sea of Apple Watches? Now that I've experienced.

I too sold my Sub after owning it for under a year. Not because of its ubiquity in public or its monotony, but because I couldn’t get used to the bulky square case of the 116610. I’m thinking of picking up a 126LV one of these days but we’ll see.

There are certain conferences I attend where subs and Rolexes in general are everywhere. Typically director of sales types at insurance or health companies.

I went to a party a few weeks ago and literally everyone was wearing a Rolex or AP.

It’s a weird flex with these guys. All inherited a PEO from their father, all seem a bit clueless to the world of risk management. Best description is the sales people in the Big Short who sold “ninja” loans.

I think that is right

G-shock and apple dominate where I work, with the odd Panerai, Rolex, Omega, Breitling, bunch of Seiko's, etc. And I spotted a 20 something guy with a Franck Muller, he paid £xx thousands for it. I had a chat with him, he said he passed a shop and just liked it. A watch for life. didn't know anything about watches at all !!!

Sold a 114060 years ago for the same reason. Rolex really goofed up with the supercase on those models.

The new 12 series is a MASSIVE improvement. Seriously, the new case and specifically bracelet width of 21mm at the lugs makes all the difference. The proportions are spot on now. Give the new model a shot!
