seems like everyone is hating on rolex subs... really been thinking about copping one... what's the deal with the hate? they hold (and even appreciate) their value, are actually really understated (as opposed to these "swaggy"/middle school 42mm+ nixons etc.), and are insanely well made. what am i missing?
- is dope. do it.prophetone
- if I had watch cash I'd go for a classic, until then tho my white rubber Nixon player will have to do, and I also have the black one lolprophetone
- you're not missing anything. some people like certain things some don't. a few of each are particularly vocal about it. who cares.SteveJobs
- You really can't go wrong with the sub. It is the most iconic sports watch, and I wish I got mine sooner.pinkfloyd
- If you go back earlier in this thread, it was appreciated more. The haters are just being cunts.pinkfloyd
- I think it depends on if your lifestyle fits. If you are driving a nice bmw, etc., it fits, if not then it'll look like a fake one.formed
- This one's only $69 today
http://ak1.ostkcdn.c…monospaced - I wish I could afford a real Rolex.monospaced
- Jealous of anyone who can afford one, or pull off wearing one.monospaced
- How can you call it understated? Every surface of it is shiny. It's gaundy and blingy as hell and screams sleazy businessman.iCanHazQBN
- ^ Just my opinion on the design. Has nothing to do with jealousy. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean it's "hate".iCanHazQBN
- When I hear Rolex, this is the type of sweaty guy I imagine http://i.ytimg.com/v…iCanHazQBN
- The all gold version is flashy but the stainless steel isn't.pinkfloyd
- Just sold my ladies rolex watch so I can buy a men's watch. Nowadays they are considered mostly unisex + the smaller ladies versions have gone out of style.shellie
- admit why you wear it. Not for style but for what is says about you in front of strangers.hotroddy
- I've always been into watches, from my dad's seikos to getting myself fossils, swatches and moving up from there. I'd admire other people's watches.pinkfloyd
- The branding mattered along with the quality.pinkfloyd
- You should rock what you like. Period. I wear an $80 Nixon timemaster, and dig it. I tried on a sub, though, and was blown away, hence the post.showpony
- If you're going for a Sub Mariner, try the non-date SS version. Less cluttered.MSL

- That's a lovely choice. I am liking Omega's more and more these days. What's the price?formed
- Going for that orange-ish dial? Looks kinda cool.formed
- This one goes for $5,695 at jomashop nowpinkfloyd
- lol @ faxpinkfloyd
- Different watch, right? One looks like orange dials, the other white....formed
- Not sure, the omega hands are tricky where the colors are more noticeable by lighting.pinkfloyd
- it's a different watchmonospaced
- did google help you?pinkfloyd
- They've got a bunch of versions, kinda like Rolex.formed
- no, just looking at the shape of the hands and the color and the numbers on the dialsmonospaced

- I have an Omega Speedmaster "Sapphire sandwich". Excellent watch. Feels like I'm wearing a sports car on my wrist.cannonball1978
- *love this watch... the steel bezel is so money.showpony

- A big part of me wants to hate that..
but I can't.Nairn - Dumb question, is it supposed to be like that? Or is it waiting to be restored?Maaku
- I have no clue, I guess it looks old, but it could be by design. Found on tumblr, no actual source for more info...grafician
- I love it thografician
- I would very much presume intentional.Nairn

- you irritate me, but thanks i_was.
https://labstorelond…Nairn - Not that I'm in any circle of hell going to buy a watch at that price, but I DO like that it's (I think?) some sort of cast concrtete/ -cum-resin thingNairn
- The Quartz Movement for this watch probably costs <$20; the strap and main bulk-thing about the same again. Just need to bother with the face a bit.Nairn
- I would even at that price, this is a beautiful piece!grafician
- I memba researching some watch brand that might've been linked here a few years ago - some LDN-baser thing. Realised what obscene margins they worked toNairn
- if I was going to (which I'm not because I'm tight af) I'd much rather commission a watch than spend the equivalent on some still cheap-ass overpriced bullshit.Nairn
- Remember guys, life is made of simple pleasures !i_was
- ^i_was I consider this a simple pleasure for myself - made in japan too, like a good Fuji camera, a good katana and other quality objects to own in lifegrafician
- this appears to be a mechanical movement... curious if it's an ETA. If so, could see this price point.showpony
- It’s probably a sellita movement. As a designer I dig his stuff, but it’s a fashion watch, so appropriately overpriced.ben_
- Ah jeeze no it’s a miyota by the looks of it. $100 movement, but again you buy this watch for the look, not the craftsmanship.ben_

- haters, its a nice watch. oh boo not hipster enough. pshgilgamush
- lol at hating this watchpinkfloyd
- Nothing personal, but I think people buy these just because it's "Rolex". I mean do you really like the design? It's so gaudy.iCanHazQBN
- It looks like something cheap you win at one of these "claw picker" arcade games. http://i.ytimg.com/v…iCanHazQBN
- The submariner is the most iconic watch out of all the watches. I think it's beautiful.pinkfloyd
- I agree branding is huge.pinkfloyd
- Rolex or not, it looks like a '90s Kenneth Cole knockoff.monospaced
- lol @ kenneth cole, they have shit quality watches. let me know if you ever get a rolex.....pinkfloyd
- hate on this https://www.google.c…pinkfloyd
- #feeling #blessedORAZAL
- You can buy something that looks like a Rolex here: http://www.moneymach…iCanHazQBN
- See? It's this whole attitude that comes with the brand. You said "let me know if you ever get a rolex....."iCanHazQBN
- It's like you bought it just because it's a Rolex.iCanHazQBN
- lolpinkfloyd
- I know that base layers & watches are your thing pinkfloyd so I'm genuinely happy for you.ORAZAL
- thanks stalker, if it makes you feel betterpinkfloyd
- Note takenORAZAL
- Oh I know Kenneth Cole is low quality in comparison. We agree on that. Doesn't change the fact that Rolex is a little cheap looking.monospaced
- Did you ever see one in real life?pinkfloyd
- Why the hate mono?pinkfloyd
- Not hate. That's a strong word. Seen plenty of rolexes. Like an 80s Ferrari, cool but ultimately dated. IN MY OPINION. been copied to the point it looks cheap.monospaced
- "Cheap", "looks like a knockoff"? And you guys are designers? lolPeter
- ^ what mono just said.iCanHazQBN
- I totally understand it was a killer design of its day. It's been copied ad naseum. Rad that it's the original icon of desire, though.monospaced
- So you're knocking the original because others have copied it?Peter
- Im a bigger Omega fan. sportier, more modern looking, but still a nice watch. Lotsa jealous fucks on this site lmaoCygnusZero4
- guys, guys, guys... you can't possibly be knocking a rolex sub... most iconic watch ever, holds (and even appreciates) its value, is super legit. super buy.showpony

- nice watch. How much does it worth?Ben99
- Nice! $10k+ for that one. Must have been some nice projects!
(way to rub it in to Mr. Timex below ;-) ). Not sure I'd put that into a Panerai, but it's niceformed - I would spend 10K on watch the day i'm millionaire. otherwise its a very bad investment. My personal opinion.Ben99
- A nice watch is a decent investment. Holds it's value and you'll still love it 10+ years from now. Not many other things carry that value.formed
- A watch is something you wear all the time, might as well get something nice.pinkfloyd
- No way $10K (wife would kill me) Still shopping but you can find it for lot more cheaper than that. Just have to do some research.OSFA
- And yes, a nice watch is an investment. It holds (and in most cases) increases value over time :)OSFA
- You can get a Panerai for around $4k, I believe, but not the one in the picture. Is that the one you are getting, or just a Panerai (big difference on models)formed
- This is the #1 on my list. Still trying to find the best buy. I like the Radiomir line more than Luminor. So It'll be a Radiomir.OSFA
- Buying a mf watch is a nice way to celebrate 35y, i'll do the same when is my turnfeel
- It would make me nervous to walk around with something worth $10,000. Glad you're getting it for a lower price.Jaline

Word is the fiancée may splurge on one of these for a combined birthday/wedding gift.
Love the way all 3 of these look. Can't figure out which one I like the best. 1st one is the most affordable and sporty. 2nd one down is the titanium Black Blizzard, which also comes with the band from photo 1. 3rd one is gunmetal. Pick one for me.
- I like #3 but they're all nice. I asked a few pages back if anyone had a Shinola, looks like you'll be first!MrT
- #2 and happy birthday/congratsSteveZissou
- Yup, #2. Congrats!formed
- Thanks all!CincodeMayo
- And MrT, this would be my first Shinola. Been eyeing them for a while now. Not much of a watch wearing, but I think this will change me. I'll report back.CincodeMayo

Slightly easier to add a leather/rubber strap later, rather than going no.1 and getting a matching steel bracelet.Peter - 2 is nicest imoset
- 2fadein11
- #2 is the most timeless..happy bday!pixellette
- I like the black faced one's so 1 or 2pinkfloyd
- Agreed with you guys. 2 is great, comes with the metal band and is a bit lighter than the rest. But $$$. Guess I'll be surprised.CincodeMayo
