Okay, I know what you’re thinking, I’m being a showoff. But I promise I’m not. In fact, the Rolex Submariner is the only really nice watch that I own. I couldn’t leave this off of things men buy because like many other men, I like watches! I’ve got a pretty good story behind the watch so I figured I’d write a review and share my story. I posted this under big boy toys because I personally wasn’t able to buy one of these until I was financially stable enough to do so.

The black dial caught my eye and at that point I knew that was the watch for me for years to come.
Why I Love My Rolex Submariner
I love this Rolex not because it’s expensive, not because it’s recognizable, but because it never fails me and it’s simple and clean looking. The watch isn’t so heavy that it’s annoying yet it has enough weight so that I never forget that it’s there. I really like how easy it is to keep the ceramic face clean. The watch is stainless steel and the comfort is really outstanding. The model that I purchased was the first year that they made the change in lugs, making them wider. I believe the size is 40mm.
