I'm going to be in the market for a non date steel submariner in the near future.
My Dad left me a gold oyster perpetual similar to ponto's, his was a 1958 which be swapped for an engagement ring that was thrown back at him by a jilted fiancee.
Anyway, Mum died last month and I have a reasonable amount of surplus jewellery to sell and I thought that it would be a nice idea to buy another Rolex as an inheritance to remember her by. No such luck it seems.
No waiting list for used watches. Not such a huge price difference at the moment with the lack of supply of new but does mean with a little research you can get examples from significant years in the model history.I'm going to be in the market for a non date steel submariner in the near future.

I hear what you re saying but I'm too scared of buying a fake so would prefer an authorised dealer plus I love new shiny stuff and peeling the plastic off.No waiting list for used watches.

Also, obviously if you prefer the non date then that is what you should get but in general the more complications the better.
I bought my Rolex to remember my grandfather by, hope you find what you want and in my opinion there isn't a better way to do it.

Don't need winding if you wear them....I found a jeweller that took my diamond engagement ring off me against a Rolex when I divorced my ex and wanted rid
I didn't realise they need winding up. I never get it out of the box.

Some are manual wind , some are perpetual/kinetic/call it what you will - would by a pendulum weight inside which operates by movement of your wrist .I found a jeweller that took my diamond engagement ring off me against a Rolex when I divorced my ex and wanted rid

I always liked the ones with the Mercedes star on the hour hand !23 years old,never taken off for the first 20 years of ownership, had a big service 2 years ago and it still looks good!

I remember looking at Rolex watches very similar in appearance to that one when my dad was buying for my 18th birthday ; I ended up choosing the Omega because I liked the tuning fork movement which was high tech at the time . Both were around the same price £130-ish from memory . Watches are a lot more expensive now than they were in the seventies , and both now worth considerably more than when they were new .Having bought a Rolex Oyster date Just a few years ago, I would not entertain buying another. I already owned an Omega and must say the build quality of the strap alone was far ahead of the Rolex and as already been stated it was not the best timekeeper.
