I remember those videos too. I looked at his oldest videos and seen the glidelock demonstration I watched years ago. Man, I’d give anything to go back to 2010
Nice video brother just a quick question because i can see it a bit in your video. Does your bezel have hairline scratches that only appear in certain light? I have them on my submariner hulk and everyone swears that these bezels are scratch proof
Are you certain that the bezel insert in your Submariner is genuine? These bezels should not scratch or fade. Although highly unlikely, the only thing that might happen is shattering but that would require a tremendous amount of force and a specific point of impact.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's an amazing watch for sure! The other doubt is... I was told wearing dive watches in spa/sauna/hot tubs is supposed to be terrible for rubber gaskets, have you had issues or heard anything about it?
I’ve heard the same. I’ve worn my Omega SeaMaster 300m in wet conditions for over 20+ years without issue. I do the same with all of other other screw-down crown dive watches that have proper water resistance and don’t worry about it. It’s not recommended but i do it all of the time.
I traded my date version for a non-date. I like that you wear it a lot so do I. Same with my pre-cbs fender stratocasters, I play ‘em all the time at gigs.
I know this is an old comment but I love the fender comment. When I was learning to play I used to go to bluegrass jams with the old timers in my town, they'd regularly be playing pre-war Martins it was so cool.
Crown guards prevent knocking off crown while working .Tgey made tgem bigger because the smaller ones on tge previous model start to dissappear if you like to keep I polished so they have bigger lugs so if you have it many years and you have it polished upon servicing you won't notice lugs shrinking.Thats why we have the beefy Maxi case as well as bigger watches comming to fashion
That makes sense about the crown guards. Big watch vs. small watch though….I bought my Breitling Super Avenger during the early ‘2000s. Big watches were hot then. Do you think that they’re making a comeback? It seems that 39mm - 42mm for men has been the most popular size for the past few years.
@@IrixGuy yes definitely. I'm at the point t don't wear anything under 40mm unless fine dining or special occasion I might pull out the 36mm though it's only worn 1ce a year and needs wound every time I use it.When I look to buy watches I stick things the size of an offshore because I like how they fit better.Im a really hands on guy so I need durable. I hunt and process animals I'm an Electrician but I play with autos and trucks. I like to see my watch easy even just give it a glance so people don't think your trying to show off staring at a watch too long .Women are wearing full size what was thought to be 'Mens' watches so you don't really want to be shown up by a chick.Hell O got my 116619LB from a lady Customs Agent and it was like new she liked big watches but she said it was so heavy she didn't wear it much as it was a gift from her eldest.
Hello, can you tell me the title of your other vid which explains how to see the Rolex "lec" , tried to find the vid on your channel, but there are so many watch vids, I couldn't find it , thank you !
“How to See Rolex Laser-Etched Crown” is the title. Please subscribe to my channel and check out all of my Timepieces for Tomorrow videos. I have a playlist full of them.
I remember watching your videos 10 years ago! I wish I would have picked up one of these when they were still in shop windows. Rolex are simply playing too many games today.
That is awesome! Yeah, picking this back up then "stung" but I've never regretted the purchase decision. They had Batman, Hulk, Kermit, Daytona and more when I purchased this but am still glad I went with the "no date." The timing of your comment is funny! Stay tuned for a video that I'm editing and will post soon regarding Rolex and the grey market =). I'm not a buyer of Rolex today either...quality watches but no more discounts in an AD (or stock to buy) =(
Love your video. 10 years for rolex is nothing. I have explorer 39mm bought it in 2011 and it has been my only watch till now, just bought new 36mm last September.
Thanks so much and that's great to hear. This is my oldest Rolex but I also have an Omega SeaMaster 300m blue wave dial that has never been serviced and has no issues.
Deeply appreciated! Please subscribe to my channel and check out all of my other Timepieces for Tomorrow videos too! Also, I am looking to review wristwatch collections, in case you’re interested in that and would want to shoot me some photos. Cheers!
Hello Irixguy. Greetings from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🏻👍🏻!! I also own the 114060 and I never, repeat NEVER take it off. The symmetry is awesome and when I charge the lume before bed, it lasts all through a cold and long London Winter night and is legible eight (8) hours later 🤣🤣🤣. I also wear my watch in the shower but ALWAYS rinse off all the suds n stuff to keep it in snazzy sparkly condition. Keep up the great work and CONTINUE to enjoy your 114060 in great health 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻!! Until next time, take care mister….
I agree with everything you said, apart from the watch not being flashy. Flashy definition: Momentarily dazzling. 3a : superficially attractive or impressive. b : ostentatious or showy often beyond the bounds of good taste especially : marked by gaudy brightness. Also what makes the Rolex submariner stainless Steel Black dial so attractive and flashy is the stainless steel and the Piano black just looks absolutely beautiful together. For those who have never seen one up close and tried one on, you maybe missing out big time. For those who can't afford one there is always the Rolex submariner Homages. Cronos and San Martin are beautiful to, l am familiar with the Rolex submariner and the Homages to this most beautiful watch.
Well said! I was fortunate to purchase this timepieces in an AD during 2013 when Rolex watches were still plentiful and discounts could still be negotiated. They have white gold hands and platinum graduations in the ceramic bezel. It truly is an impressive timepiece in the flesh! Thanks for your viewership and please feel free to subscribe to my channel and check out all of my Timepieces for Tomorrow videos!
Irix, great review. However, I can't help notice your nails look a little yellow. This is not my area of expertise, but you may be Vitamin E deficient. You might also consider using a corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone as well. I'd recommend bringing this up with your doctor at next check up.
Your seamaster video I watched god knows how many years ago was the first ever watch video I ever watched … needless to say I bought one 😂 glad to see you are still going mate , regards from uk
I bought my 114060 for all the reasons you mentioned. I was playing with my friend’s 116610. When winding his watch, it made clicking noises. Mine doesn’t make any noises when manually winding. Anything wrong with my watch? Thank you
Are you the guy who buried his watch at the beach? As for sports I’ve predominantly been deskdiving but mine has collected way more scratches. Still trying to convince myself that it’s a toolswatch with character.
I was removing dead rats while wearing my Rolex today. These things can be worn for any activity! I've never buried a Rolex in the sand though. Have you? Deskdiving is a VERY dangerous activity! Be careful!
Awesome! It’s certainly the best Rolex in my opinion and this reference is great because it was the first Submariner reference with a ceramic bezel! #Rolex
@@chrisandrewmachineatsasmr153 Watch and shoes are the most important. For business, a perfectly-tailored suit made of a premium material makes a power statement.
I remember watching your review a million times about the no date submariner, back in the day when hype didn't exist. In the end i ended up selling my 2225.80 seamaster chrono and got the no date ceramic sub. I was disappointed. It was a nice watch but didn't feel thousands better, versus the omega, as far as build quality goes. There is a reason why before the stupid hype you could get discounts at ADs or buy 2nd hand, guaranteed cheaper. So the sub only stayed with me for a week. But i still watch you video of the no date sub time to time :)
Very cool thanks for watching my videos :). Yeah, I doubt that we’ll ever see the days again where someone can walk into a Rolex AD, try on any reference and then haggle and purchase one for a discount. I’m happy and done with a “one and done Rolex.”. The submariner ticks all boxes and I’ve now been able to explore all other wristwatch bands too. With that said, I think that the Sub is still the best watch in my rotation and obviously not due to hype :)
I know the original sub had no date . But to say that most people prefer the non date is just wrong . I know that the non date variant has its following . But the majority of people wear the date version
The majority of people do wear the Sub Date. My assumption is #1 They want to be perceived as being able to afford the date #2 They don’t want people to think that their Submariner is fake #3 They don’t understand symmetry
I will never forget your first reviews from the early 2010s. One of the most honest watch reviews on RUclips.
Thanks so much!

Good to see a well worn watch that also looks like it’s been worn carefully/respectfully.
Gotta wear a watch everywhere but take care of it at the same time. Thank you and stay tuned for more wristwatch videos here soon!
I'd be interested in hearing about your 12 years of wearing your Sub, mate. Have you had it serviced yet? How was your overall experience been?
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's an amazing watch for sure! The other doubt is... I was told wearing dive watches in spa/sauna/hot tubs is supposed to be terrible for rubber gaskets, have you had issues or heard anything about it?

I think that’s absolute nonsense. Wear the watch and enjoy your life. Check out the rolex forums there tons of guys who never take the watch off.
I traded my date version for a non-date. I like that you wear it a lot so do I. Same with my pre-cbs fender stratocasters, I play ‘em all the time at gigs.
No Date Sub is the best Sub……symmetry!
Good for you! I play my '58 Telecaster and the back of the neck is like polished marble. Honest mojo!

Fully agree. Watches are to be worn. Love the (no date) Sub! Am currently ‘on list’. Fingers crossed for this year!
I hope that you get lucky! It’s the best!
Well, did you get the call??
@@ofanning06 I did! :-) Actually a few. Managed to get a Sub, Starbucks, blue DJ & one of the last Zblue Milgauss over the last 12-18 months :-)

They have mastered the date complication so it doesn't need service or go wrong for decades but still yours a special watch. Enjoy
I know that it’s easy to break the date wheel on a Valjoux 7750 movement. Is it possible to break the date wheel on a modern Rolex movement?

That is strange. No, the 114060 basically silent when winding. Happy New Year!
@@IrixGuy Happy New Year! Thank you 😊
@@iyadaboushaaban198 Also if the noisy watch has a date, it’s possible that a broken date wheel could be creating the noise
If it’s fully wound it will click when winding.
Are you the guy who buried his watch at the beach?

I agree and I cannot stand the cyclops either :). #Rolex
Paid £2,750 for my Sub back in 2007. Perfect daily watch.
Congrats! That seems like a bargain nowadays and so does my 2013 Sub acquisition. It's definitely the perfect daily watch or "one and done" too!
