IT IS A TIMELESS TIMER

Thebiglagu · 11 July 2013, 01:16 AM

I think because its such a versatile classic Rolex! Probably the best resale value and an unmistakeable iconic design! It's the perfect combination of sport and dress. It's the perfect first and only watch. Unless you're nuts like us and need many watches. I have quite a few friends who only have a sub and they are perfectly content to keep it that way.

This sums it up! Although I haven't worn it with an evening gown yet...

kilyung · 11 July 2013, 01:19 AM

'Cause people like it.

elev8w · 11 July 2013, 01:20 AM

It is simply the classic rolex, stable all the way as well as far as pricing/demand(as opposed to daytona), not an oddball rolex to anyone! and perfect!

james1787 · 11 July 2013, 01:27 AM

It is such a versatile, classic watch you can wear with just about anything. The design is timeless.

xtra3cats · 11 July 2013, 01:27 AM

Trust the sub owners. You won't regret it

floater156 · 11 July 2013, 01:28 AM

It's Rolex's most popular sports model. There are probably a lot of reasons for this, but not everyone prescribes to this. I have 2 Rolex watches and neither is a sub.

martinr · 11 July 2013, 01:55 AM

Because Archie Luxury says it the best sports watch of all time.

Rebel · 11 July 2013, 02:07 AM

Why? Connery, Sean Connery.

Just kidding. Because.

No, seriously. It is a classic. Good with jeans or a tux. Iconic. Can't go wrong with it.

joe100 · 11 July 2013, 02:08 AM

The Sub is a natural place to start. Sub or DJ.

nauticajoe · 11 July 2013, 02:20 AM

Aside from a DJ, the Sub is one of the most recognizable watches in the world.

porschedude · 11 July 2013, 02:21 AM

My first two rolex watches are subs! One black one green! Both ceramic

cop414 · 11 July 2013, 02:34 AM

All the above posts pretty much cover it.

JJL · 11 July 2013, 02:39 AM

Aesthetic, iconic, rich in history, durable, dependable, recognizable and holds it's value.

It's very easy to like for most - and for those that are unsure, it's a safe decision.

Classic design and it has history, I had a Sub, but wanted something bigger so I got the DSSD.

sea-dweller · 11 July 2013, 04:03 AM

It was my first Rolex, bought in 1994, for many of the reasons above.

texex91 · 11 July 2013, 04:15 AM

It was my first 25 years ago. Great first because its "affordable", sporty, dress up or down, can wear everyday and water proof.

Go get one if you haven't already. Great way to start a collection.

mr.president1 · 11 July 2013, 04:17 AM

Like many others said, it's an all around classic yet current watch that will be a timeless piece. I personally don't think a Submariner will ever go out of style. Plus if you've been looking around at other non-Rolex watch brands.. The ones that cost a few hundred or less, they've all been copying the Submariner for their style. So, evidently it's the watch to have. I think it makes a good statement. Not too flashy (SS) and a true statement of hard work and success!

It's the quintessential do everything Rolex.

Kingair · 11 July 2013, 04:23 AM

Because . . .

Rolexitis · 11 July 2013, 04:39 AM

The sub is awesome but for me, the GMT 2c is my one and only Rolex. It fits the bill.

This but swap out the pumps and evening gown with professional shoes or sandals and shorts or a suit.

Gus,
I didn't know that you were still wearing the pumps with a gown, I thought that you switched out to sandals...
