The Submariner Owners Thread...

Well...in light of these threads popping up, I thought I would start one for the classic Rolex we all love...

THE Rolex Submariner

5508, 5512, 5513, 14060, 14060M...

Post your pics, your love...your questions and comments here.

Personally, I would love to see some Subs on leather...

I did attempt a search for a similar thread and could not find one, so my apologies in advance if one already exists.

My 14060M:

Indeed, but for that you must buy a Submariner Date, not a Submariner!

Maybe start a Sub-DATE thread...

Someone forgot the 1680, this is the rare white 1680, not as common as the red as seen so frequently on this forum.

Sorry about that...!

Okay, I apologize for the lack of explanation - but yes, this is the Submariner Owners Thread...not the Submariner DATE Owners Thread!

All of you cyclops owners...
