Rolex Submariner

The main difference is the date window with Cyclops magnifying lens on the Date version (ref. 126610LN), which is absent on the No Date (ref. 124060). The No Date therefore has a more symmetrical dial and is often preferred by purists. Technically, they use different movements: caliber 3235 (Date) and caliber 3230 (No Date), both with 70-hour power reserve. The No Date is generally offered at a lower price than the Date version.

The price of a pre-owned Submariner depends on the specific reference, the condition of the watch, the year of production, and the presence of the original box and papers. Vintage models and special references can be worth considerably more. Contact us for a current price indication for the model you are interested in. Price on request.

Absolutely. The Submariner is designed to withstand the toughest conditions, making it an excellent daily watch. The Oystersteel is scratch-resistant, the 300-meter water resistance means you don't need to worry during rain, swimming, or showering, and the robust movement is reliable and accurate. Many owners wear their Submariner daily, both in the office and on weekends.

Rolex recommends a complete overhaul approximately every ten years, though this can vary depending on usage. If you notice the watch running significantly fast or slow (more than a few seconds per day), it is time for a service. During an overhaul, the movement is fully disassembled, cleaned, and readjusted, seals are replaced, and water resistance is retested.

The Submariner is known for its excellent value retention. Due to enormous demand and limited availability at authorized Rolex dealers, many Submariner models trade on the pre-owned market at or above the original retail price. Especially models with special dials, discontinued references, and vintage examples in good condition can appreciate significantly. A Rolex Submariner is not just a watch, but also a solid investment.
