Is the Submariner a must for your collection?

Thoughts?

Not in my case. Tudor Black Bay covers that angle for me.

Another yes here. How can you not have an iconic watch included in your collection.

I don't think a collection is defined by what pieces are in rather by pieces that matter to you

Absolutely, yes, I needed a Sub!

I got the Daytona first, but the Hulk was high on the list for next watch. After I got PADI dive certified last year, then a dive watch became top of the list. Got on the Hulk waiting list at my AD last September, watch came in December and I bought it. I've worn it non-stop since then!

Yes for me. It is the quintessential sport watch and, in my opinion, the most iconic Rolex.

Having a Sub is compulsory. It's the law!

Not for me. I have an Explorer 39mm and hope to add a Black Bay Black later in the year. That will nicely fill in the diver category and I happen to like it better than the Sub.

I will say yes since I have a SubC, a vintage Tudor Sub, and a BBN. I'm dive watch friendly.

Such a silly question. Of course it is.

Both times I've gone in to buy a sub I left with something else:





It will be neat to see what I get next time I go in for a Sub ;)

Always thought it was a yes for me but as I got older I have come to realize I am more of a GMT kinda guy.
