I bought 2 Rolex in 2020
116660 - Deepsea
116334 - Datejust II

Now I'm asking myself. Should I get the Submariner because of the hype?

Let me know your thoughts.

Oystersteel · 26 October 2020, 04:29 PM

Yes!

infinitywatches · 26 October 2020, 04:31 PM

It's really worth it. The Sub isn't a "hype" to me.

jamesbondOO7 · 26 October 2020, 04:36 PM

One needs a Submariner, there is no hype about it.

Kostas · 26 October 2020, 04:39 PM

No, you have a deepsea, you’re not missing out on anything ;)

epicurus · 26 October 2020, 04:40 PM

deep sea trumps sub. youre good. enjoy it!

dcash0615 · 26 October 2020, 04:41 PM

If you want it because you like it and want to add to your collection, then buy one. If you want it just because of the hype, don’t buy.

007timer · 26 October 2020, 04:44 PM

I would much rather have a Submariner than a Deep
Sea. You can’t wear a Deep Sea with a cuffed shirt. That watch is far too thick. I went to pick up a James Cameron and after wearing it for 8 seconds I knew it
was limited with what I can wear it with (personally)

The Sub on the other hand can be worn with a dress shirt and a t shirt.

It all boils down to personal preference. But the sub is a staple watch in any collection (again, personal opinion) not just a hype watch, it’s not a Hublot

I need my Submariners because I love Subs.
Nothing to do with hype.
When a Sub sings to you then buy it, don’t fall for the hype.

sandeepsingh225 · 26 October 2020, 05:01 PM

Maybe a GMT ?

Sandpit · 26 October 2020, 05:06 PM

Buy it because you love it, not because Instagram or Hodinkee tells you to

joli160 · 26 October 2020, 05:14 PM

FOMO or hype are not arguments on which I make a buying decision

Yes, try to be objective and see if you would buy the watch if selling it meant a 20% loss as was the standard case before.

tomallen · 26 October 2020, 05:23 PM

If you want a Sub get one. You should also have a GMT Master II.

DCheeta · 26 October 2020, 05:34 PM

Should you buy one because of the hype? No.

Buy one if you really like them and want to wear one.

scombs263 · 26 October 2020, 05:49 PM

Now u need.......

Submariner
GMT Master II
Daytona

Oxfordian · 26 October 2020, 06:03 PM

You realise that buying the 'Hype' variant of any watch leaves you unfulfilled don't you?

kctt · 26 October 2020, 08:05 PM

Did you buy the 2 Rolex because of the hype or because you liked it?

Exactly

icjewelry2 · 26 October 2020, 08:15 PM

Personal preference, but the sub is just as comfortable and fitting in a suit as in a t-shirt and shorts.... love mine!

You shouldn't buy anything because of hype. Do you want a dive style watch. If so, a Submariner isnt a bd choice .

Depends on do you wear a watch or do you wear hype like many today do.

peterpl · 26 October 2020, 08:21 PM

imho every Rolex lover needs a sub whether its SS, TT or PM - you just need 1 in your collection.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ My thoughts as well. Just the simple, best answer!

winst · 26 October 2020, 08:42 PM

If you’ve got the Deep Sea and wear it without finding it too big, no you don’t need a Sub as you already have a better dive watch.

You should get a Sub because it is the most iconic and versatile watch on the planet, not because of the hype.

The Submariner is a great watch and I have two in my collection and a DSSD JC. If you like the watch and it will get some wear, then why not. Buy what you want for any reason you want and enjoy. It is your money so why not do what brings you enjoyment and who cares what the motivation is? Go for it.
