Love their diving watches.

I bought my Sea Dweller about 15 years ago - worn every day and night since.

Keeps the date, discretely, with no cyclops crystal.

The 1,220 meter depth rating is also very helpful in my line of work.

Best,

Matt

Let me tell you I was thinking about the same buy these last weeks, I find this no date Sub to be the best version of the Sub; I don't need the date either.

Congratulations, you are "un homme de goût" in french (approximately man who has good tastes).

Wear it in good health.
Thank you Jean-Marc!

Matt, 15 years is great use! My Explorer II is almost that old and was also a daily wearer. Gotta love the way Rolex can be purchased, worn and enjoyed and still be worth more than you paid for it!

15 years is nothing. My dad still wears his Date purchased new in the late 60's. Wore out the links in the Jubilee bracelet before replacement.

Original bill of of sale was c. $250. Still a lot of money, but go figure!

Best,

Matt

Yeah, I hardly ever hold on to anything for more than a few years so for me 15 is like eternity! I was very surprised I actually wore the same watch for 13 years!

Well, Serge, at least you seem to hold on to watches longer than you do to cars!

Seriously, Serge, I really like the no-date Sub-C! When my wife and I went to look at the new Yachtmaster she got me for my birthday, the dealer had a Sub-C no-date, and I was very tempted!

It's never too late to add another Rolex to your collection John!
