Their design was and is probably the most widely copied of all watches. Whether tribute if not legal in D replica whether countless ajar to the Design of Sub Diver, what do you call this genre watches.
The name Rolex se drives so many to think about how Pimp milieu, boxing and Botox events Geprotze etc.
It may be the Rolex brand and especially the presented sub will not begin to do justice. Every watch enthusiast, whether he has a Rolex or not, ungrudgingly recognize the extraordinary potential and charisma of this clock to other watch manufacturers.
Founder of the company Rolex, incidentally, was a German: The Kulmbacher Hans Wilsdorf.
Without wishing to describe the career of the company Rolex en detail here is, but noted at this point that the Rolex brand is no Poser company, but many of the "groundbreaking" for inventions and developments in the wrist section on the account of the company Rolex are recorded, (although some criticize that Rolex too much rest on this earlier "technical glory").
In connection with the Sub especially interesting: 1931 was built by a Rolex automatic movement in the waterproof watch with the special shape of the housing and patented by Rolex world. So is the sub until today with full name: Rolex Oyster (housing form) Perpetual (Automatic Caliber) Submariner (dive suitable).
In 1953, the Submariner a short time later to 180, then to 200 today to 300 was introduced, waterproof in the early years up to 100m. The first models of the Submariner came as reference 6200 and 6204 on the market.
Trademark law there was in the early years probably a problem with the name Submariner and so it was that early models came even without the Submariner lettering or even above the old lettering in trade.
There is the Submariner in 2014 now in probably every precious metal, with diamonds on the dial, in bi-color, in different colored bezels etc.
This is again clearly owed a matter of taste and the great demand for this model.
Everything and every / r, or the worth its salt, or thinks that one should keep something on him may, the name Rolex remember and buy accordingly.
A pity, however, as already indicated above, a separate issue.
Or you can see it the way Tom Bolt, a British watch Maniac, which compares the sub with the 911 Porsche: A over the decades moderation to the zeitgeist adapted design in every conceivable paint and trim.
Incidentally, there is also the opposite of their capital on the wrist facing people who are dedicated exclusively to the poses of: watch lovers of all ages and salary classes that save in some cases long for your Sub and buy yourself some time and then give no more ( unless as heirloom).
Many sizes in movies and many celebrities outside of the film, familiar to the sub display the time and the place on her wrist: Sean Connery, Jaques Yves Cousteau, Steve McQueen, countless other celebrities and even the Royal Navy temporarily (5513/5517).
And who has the Submariner their design?
As are the ghosts, some say the Sub early issues recall Blancpain, many see as a precursor to the sub-designs the Rolex Turn-O-Graph 6202nd
From 1953 to the Submariner was built, and this primordial form of 1953 in black / silver can be found in the 1166010LN in pure form again. So let's stick to the 116610LN: The black and silver with a date (Date) or without date (114060)
Initially ridiculed as the plump, because it differs from its predecessors by slightly different housing dimensions, larger indices and especially by the wider, now made of ceramic bezel. The wells in the bezel for numerals and hour markers are covered with platinum dust. The Cerachrom bezel is substantially harder and more scratch resistant than its aluminum predecessor, the ever were quickly unsightly at real load.
Meanwhile, the 1166010LN but has earned its reputation as the future classics and customized design in moderation is generally recognized.

It is beyond the scope of an Amazon review blow to every technical detail to respond, but:
Rolex builds technically fantastic caliber that need not fear comparison with manufactory calibers of other Haute-Orlogerie companies. The caliber are not as elaborately finis Siert (visually refined), like many other luxury watch model, but they are designed for maximum reliability, precision, accuracy and durability. The ruby jewel bearings are crowned to generate as little friction, it is not susceptible to wear regulator arm used, but is regulated by small Microstella screws on balance wheel etc. pp.
To my knowledge, today met every Rolex caliber the COSC (COSC) standard for chronometer. Many other companies are lucky if they ever have a top model in the range which has been certified as a chronometer.
Short digression: Let not tighten (used) forgery and buy exclusively at concessionaires with longtime Rolex offer. Although Rolex many security features incorporating in the watches> The Counterfeiters have become so good that you will fall as a layman. The lasered crown sapphire crystal will be falsified, the serial number in the Rehaut, the plastic certificate cards, security holograms, everything.
Security features in new and used watches only a concessionaire who can also open the clock and can track the individual parts of the clock. There are also specialists, cobble together the Rolex of stolen items. Conclusion: Be careful.
But if you buy the clock with a good dealer, be certain that you have purchased an extremely high quality watch model that you will probably never let you down and has been the role model for millions of other watches. The Sub always fits: To suit, diving, sport, in business. She's weight, very well balanced, that is, the clock itself and the wristband keep in substantial equilibrium, which is a very comfortable fit results. The clasp can be adjusted sensitively on the arm circumference and has a safety lock.
I hope you could take a little bit of the sub when reading this review.
