    Blue or Black Rolex Two Tone Submariner?
    Guys I'm going to be buying a brand new two tone Rolex Submariner this weekend. I'm very excited this is the first rolex I'm buying from an authorized dealer. But one thing I still have not decided on is blue or black?

            Overhyped garbage?

            Rolex is the finest mass produced product in the world.

              Actually, not to be a smart ass, but the price of one model of Rolex went some 150% during the eighties, without comparable change in the watch. A strong case has been made that in fact the watch was essentially overhyped to reach its high priced luxury status and has likely ridden that since. Still a good, innovative product.

              I think they called it unobtanium as a joke.

                Finest, mass produced watch is probably Seiko. But if you're looking for finest mechanical watch, get yourself IWC Schaffhausen Pilot's watch (Mark). Oldest Swiss watch company considered one of top 3 - IWC, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. Most fighter pilots and astronauts will agree with me on IWC mark watches.

                          If you bought a Rolex president in 1970 you paid $1300 for it. Today you can get 8-10k on the secondary market.

                            Iwc is ok. But there is only two kinds of watches, Rolex and everything else. Why do you think Rolex is the most counterfeited product in the world?

                              Because sheep don't know any better. Some tricky marketing created that rolex bubble, not their quality. Same goes for silly Panerai watches with rolex movements inside. Let me know if you spot bugatti or Lamborghini or Ferrari billboards in your area.

                                Is that why the British Army would issue submariners to all their top people? Is that why every pilot you see wheres a Rolex GMT?

                                Is that why the President and every other world leader wears a presidential?

                                  I agree pronk, it is most counterfeited simply because of popularity.

                                  Quality is still there, or it wouldn't still be popular, but the marketing created that initial hype.

                                      Brick the black is sharp. But it may depend on the band. Blue with gold has certain look to it for sure.

                                      Black is sharp though.

                                        Rolex don't have enough brain power to make this machine



                                        Some iwc Grande Complication pocket watches are sold from half a million and up.

                                          I have been so torn between the two.

                                            Congrats Brick!

                                            If you are getting a Rolex I like my Daytona and Milgauss more than the sub. The black sub is a better looking watch than the blue one though. Never been a fan of two tone band though. Looks feminine to me.

                                            I had a stainless IWC aqua timer. Gave it to my nephew. Dope watch.

                                            Everyday watch is either my Milgauss or Panerai radomir.

                                              I have been wearing a stainless steel black face sub for years. I used the function daily. Sometimes I think I want the black, other times I think I want the blue. A blue has just arived in my state from Switzerland. I need to pull the trigger soon and this is turning out to be a very tough decision. This watch will be my daily time piece for years.

                                                        My gpa gave me his old Rolex and supposedly its worth upwards of 20k today. Nonetheless it's pretty dated and ugly so I never wear it. I guess Rolex's never lose value

So they tricked there way to abercrombie & finch in Seattle and begun selling that junk watch in Seattle & Vancouver area under no name.
