Black Sub Owners Poll: Submariner vs Submariner Date
Although not accurate, but owners in the forums favor to have the Submariner (not the Sub Date).
So which black sub do you have?
Continue readingI needed a classic SS Sub back in my life. A Open Box story.
I needed a Submariner back in my life but after 3 months of carful thought and looking over all the Subs I have owned in the past one kept calling and as a clear winner for me. Just talking Rolex, I wanted a daily Sub to fit in my collection with my…

I recently came across the 2022 Lex Stolk Fratello article in which he calls the Tudor Black Bay Pro “unoriginal” and a “poor man’s” Rolex Explorer II Ref. 1655.
"Yes, though your watch might look like a Rolex, it is, in fact, a Tudor — a more af…

Hello fellow sub owners. I have a 126610LN and a 6.7". I have 1 link removed from each side and glidelock in the 3rd or 4th position from closed/tightest. For reference, when in the 4th position you can see one slot on the glidelock. The clasp is …

After only wearing large watches my whole life, I’m thinking of venturing into the world of smaller watches. I know 42mm isn’t small, but I have an 8 1/4 inch wrist and before buying my Sea Dweller a while ago, 44mm was the smallest I’d ever owned. The Explorer is actually larger by 1/10th of a MM I think, lug to lug, according to Rolex, so I thought I’d give it a try.

Rolex in the Near Future
A few weeks ago, I told the tale of walking into an AD in Aruba and, a few days later, walking out with a beautiful new Sub. (A watch that I really haven’t even worn yet; it was purchased for my 50th birthday and is still a few weeks away. It patiently awaits me in a safe.) If nothing else, the purchase of the watch has reinvigorated my interest in watches, as I was a regular member…
Continue readingConsidering the Tudor P01
Hi all,
Was thinking of picking up a Tudor P01, though I was wondering if there is trouble finding straps and bracelets that are short enough to accommodate those hinged lugs. I have ~6.75in flat wrists.
Anyone out there that owns one of these? Thank…
