In a perfect world, I’d have the money to afford my dream watch. You probably won’t be surprised to learn that it’s the Rolex Submariner 2010, which, by the way, costs far more money than I could ever afford! Even so, here are a few facts about the Submariner 2010, mainly to satisfy my own personal curiosity.
- The watch is the latest in a long generation of Submariner timepieces, and, although it’s not a shock release, there are a few differences that people didn’t expect.
- The main surprise is that the watch comes with a green dial as standard. I think this looks great, although you can obviously opt for a different choice if you prefer. The people at ABlogToRead seem to think this choice is to signify that the release of a new Submariner is no ordinary occasion, but something to be celebrated.
- Submariner 2010 comes with the Glide Lock clasp that allows you to fit it perfectly. It also means you can adjust it for when you want it looser.
- The watch contains the 3135 automatic movement, which is, of course, chronometer certified.
- The case of the watch is around 40mm in diameter, and it comes with a unidirectional bezel. The hour marks are luminescent.
What do you think of the new Submariner? Compared to other Submariner watches, such as the ones you can see at Vintage Watch Brands, I don’t think there is a HUGE difference. There certainly isn’t enough of a change to warrant upgrading if you already have one. Even so, it would definitely be my watch of choice if I was to buy one and I had unlimited funds! For now, I’ll have to settle for my very attractive, but not quite as special, Tag Heuer.
