Men's Rolex Oyster Precision Submariner Chronometer Stainless Steel Watch

Never have I been so disgusted at a certain watch. Coming from a wealthy family from the countryside of Connecticut, I needed not only a watch that fitted my elite status but a piece of jewelry that told strangers that I am better than you. Browsing Amazon and given the little amount of time before the Chanel Secret Party I was to attend the day after, I purchased this Rolex watch with overnight shipping.When the watch arrived, it looked nothing like the image portrayed on my 30" computer monitor. It's shine was not capable of blinding strangers that passed by, which upsetted me. I would not let this get in the way as I would later attend the Chanel Secret Party with my date Anna Kournikova. I hear she's a tennis player, but I do not have the time nor lack of money to keep up with these current events.Thus I arrived at the Chanel Secret Party located in Beverly Hills, California with my date Anna in my unreleased Porsche Boxster Eleven. It was the home of Kanye West's, I hear he is a popular musical artist? Although the house estimated a grand total of $20 million, it was average in my eyes.I am going to make this review short and end it soon as I have to leave on my G5 to attend a Billionaire's Party in Paris and because I am too important to even be sitting here writing a review on such a ridiculous product to average viewers. But to get to the main point, the watch was annoyingly uncomfortable, stopped midway through the party, and even started going in reverse!If you do have the money to buy this product without feeling any sense of guilt, which I believe you do not, then I suggest not buying this product. Save it for a pair of shoes or a hair cut instead.Good Night.

For this kind of money I expected the dam watch to keep a correct time. This thing is always 10 min behind?!!! I took it in for warranty repair 3 times already for the same issue. If it was a car, under lemon law, I would have my money back by now ;)It's a great looking watch but only if it could have done what it was suppose to do.

This was the first and so far, only mechanical watch I've ever owned. I bought it not too many years ago when I was 19 and in college. It was a sizeable amount of money for a college student but I just had to have one. It's an icon, it's absolutely epic. It's the original James Bond watch, it's the watch of choice for Jack Bauer (in some seasons of 24 anyway), that flying guy from Heroes wears one, so did Nick Cage in National Treasure. The list goes on... Rolex did its job in making me want one, and when I first got it, upgrading from a Tag Heuer SEL link, I was ecstatic, but there were too many things about it I just couldn't live with.First of all, the watch is epic, so prestigious yet so discreet in doing it, and when you wear it there is such a sense of majesty. The watch is so deceptively simple, with a magnificent black dial, immaculate luminous markers, crisp white writing on the dial, and hands which are simple and functional. The dial took my breath away, and it looked great on me when I wore pretty much anything, and there was a certain beauty of its unelegant workhorse movement, but unfortunately with me, that is where the praises stop.As mentioned above, the watch is fantastic, but if you're anything like me it just won't do for everyday wear. First of all, in my job I actually do have to be places EXCALTY at a certain time, and with just 15 minute meetings sometimes with clients and others, your watch can't be 4 minutes ahead of the actual time, you might be early, but that sometimes means ending a meeting early when you could've had more time. Of course I knew that having a mechanical watch meant you could not have quartz accuracy, and I thought I was ready for that, but even though my watch gained only about 1.7 seconds per day on average, I found that I couldn't live with the doubt that my watch was not spot on.The 16610 is part of the oyster collection and I can see why, the case IS shaped like an Oyster. It's tough as nails I hear, and I'm told that the movement can soldier on for many many years without overhaul. I really tried to love this watch, but wearing it was not very pleasant. With my previous watch, the Tag Link SEL, and my current watch, a quartz Omega Seamaster Professional (James Bond trim), I could wear them anywhere and never noticed. With those watches I felt as though they were part of my body, and they were so beautifull balanced. That case was not true with the Submariner, this watch felt really bulky for me. I was always aware of this watch and actually took it off when I slept (not true of other watches I owned). The case felt sturdy and expensive, but the bracelet felt like a cheap piece of junk. I hear that the 16610 uses hollow center links which puzzled me over a watch of this price. Don't get me wrong, the steel is of a very high quality, but the clasp made it seem like junk. I hated it, the flaps you could bend with your fingers and it looked like a clasp you'd see on a Fossil. Maybe on the two-tone models the clasp at least looks cooler from the outside, but on the 16610 I thought the Rolex crown looked cheap, and I share the same opinion of the equally cheap-looking diving extension. And with this heavy case and relatively light bracelet, wearing this watch felt like wearing a weight tied onto your wrist by string. It felt really bulky for me; I guess that would be the main bullet point here.I did wear this watch everyday for a long time, and it had its issues. The crown dug into my hand a number of times strong enough to draw blood, the lugs felt sharp. And in certain acts of affection, the bulk of the watch (especially the protruding clasp)can scratch ones you love aswell. And even though it is generally a good thing to have a bezel that's easy to turn, I personally like my bezel to stay put and being active with this watch on can force you to constantly correct your bezel. I also did not care for the fisheye/cyclop lens over the date.Ultimately I decided to sell this watch. It just wasn't for me.
