The first Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner was produced in 1953 and the collection has since gone on to become one of the most famous in the world. Although there are a large number of spin-off and replica Submariner watches available nothing can match the class and style of the real thing. Rolex Submariners are part of the Oyster Perpetual line of watches.
Despite being one of the most iconic watches in the world the Submariner is also adept in a number of different professional situations. For example, a Submariner watch has been used in Antarctic expeditions where it was subjected to extreme temperatures. The watch has also been used in a number of sea expeditions. Even though it has been part of these high profile expeditions the Submariner is probably still most famous for being James Bond’s watch of choice.
There are a large range of different used Rolex Submariner watches available. For example, the 50th Anniversary edition is a popular choice and can be bought in a number of colors including green. Newer Rolex Submariners are waterproof and include a date complication. They are also chronometer certified with an automatic movement as you’d expect from a top of the range luxury watch.
One of the choices you’ll have to make is which strap to get. A common option is the Rolex stainless steel/18 karat gold strap with a steel buckle. Any strap which uses gold will increase the price of the watch though. You can also buy stainless steel straps. Vintage Rolex Submariner watches may be more or less money depending on how old they are, what condition they are in and whether they are part of a rare product line.
When buying used Rolex Submariner watches it’s important to make sure you’re getting the genuine article. Newer watches should include a receipt and paperwork in order to prove that they’re real Rolex watches. You should also ensure that the watch is in good condition. A dealer stamp and warranty certificate is also a bonus.
