Just curious; SubMariner- are you able to wear a Rolex and loose sweat pants at the same time ?

Oscarpapa · 20 June 2018, 06:18 PM

Haha.

Brew · 20 June 2018, 06:31 PM

It's the weight on my wrist that is missed when I'm not wearing a Rolex. This doesn't happen with the Tudor, which is also a heavy piece. Hamilton, Omega, and Seiko, though enjoyed, are light-weights, by comparison.

Rolex !
Always seem to want a Rolex back on when wearing another brand ...

Definitely enjoy wearing my Rolex, right now wearing my Apple Watch (at work and exercise only watch) and also enjoy wearing other brand watches.

But I know exactly what you mean

thesharkfactor · 20 June 2018, 07:03 PM

Hmm.. not so much the brand.. but to me it's the actual model, any other watch is 'not a Submariner'.. similarly, I feel that any other car is 'not a 911'. Though I have and respect other cars too...

Good point here, more importantly it’s the actual watch not the brand. I can think of many Rolexes I wouldn’t wear including some of the most popular ones

peterskinner · 20 June 2018, 07:17 PM

Can't imagine not owning, and regularly wearing, a Rolex. They are so tough and dependable.
However, some other makes are wonderful, and I would miss them too. So I'm probably not a 'one make' guy.

Quailhunter · 20 June 2018, 07:22 PM

I share a similar feeling although I happily wear a Luminox at night for the forever lume, a Swiss Army plastic whilst in my shop, and a Calatrava when on special occasions.

I’ve looked at Tudor, Omega, Grand Seiko, Panerai and others. I admire them, but when I look at the cost, I feel I’d rather pay a little more and get a Rolex.

The one exception might be the Omega Speedmaster.

Yes good point. He starts all these ridiculous fanboy threads and then rarely posts in them.

I thought the difference might have been less, tighter. Maybe it just feels that way! Haha.

abozz · 20 June 2018, 07:46 PM

Happens the same to me, I just feel full with a Rolex watch.

jagwap · 20 June 2018, 08:30 PM

He's probably trying to get his post count up so he can sell his Rolex...

16610v · 20 June 2018, 08:33 PM

I wear a g-shock which is as happy as wearing a rolex.

SkyKing31 · 20 June 2018, 09:05 PM

I enjoy owning each Rolex in my collection because each one has a special reason for being in my collection, but I feel the same way for the 2 PP's I own.

As much as I enjoy wearing those watches, I am just as comfortable and enjoy wearing my Movado. I don't feel as if I "must" wear a Rolex or risk feeling incomplete.

tifosi · 20 June 2018, 10:03 PM

I know exactly what you mean, but for me it was just a phase. Lasted about 5 years. Now I can wear my other watches and leave my Sub without an issue.

And no can't say the same thing. When wearing my Patek's an AP's I think wow they are Pateks and AP's.

Agreed.

Personal preference is just that, personal.

This.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my Submariner and I’m a big fan of Rolex. But I certainly don’t miss it when I’m wearing one of my Patek Philippe’s. If anything, it’s the opposite.

ytsethunder · 20 June 2018, 11:24 PM

I've got a Seiko SARB033 in addition to my ExpII and I rarely, if ever, get that nagging feeling. Do sometimes get it wearing my Speedmaster, oddly enough.

samson66 · 20 June 2018, 10:16 PM

For whatever reason I don't feel that way when I wear my Tudor. Any other brand, maybe. Tudor just feels like part of the rotation.

I love all my watches. They all make me smile.

Many others have said the same and Russ sums it up well.

For me it’s the do it all design in both form and function. I have two babies in diapers still so everyday is kind like a “what am I gonna get into today?” Kind of day lol. I don’t have the same all around confidence in almost any other brand.

AP Diver is close, but the style isn’t versatile in comparison. My Omega speedy Tuesday is absolutely special, but It’s certainly not a “tough” watch. My Tudor BB is the closest thing I have to a watch with the same characteristics.
