The Best Rolex Watches For Men

At some point in his life every man with an interest in watches will want to buy a Rolex. The famed Swiss firm founded in 1905 simply makes the most impressive timepieces on the planet. Acquiring one may be an expensive investment at first, but properly maintained it’s something you’ll have for life; a future heirloom, or, should you decide to sell in a few years , even a source of profit. Rolex resides in a very exclusive bracket that other brands have done their best to imitate with little success, and with a century and more under their belt the desirability of their watches has never been stronger. It has even made them quite hard to come by in certain places.

Related: Authentic Rolex Watches You Can Buy At Walmart

These days the appeal of the Rolex has truly gone global while the brand has proved itself immune to fads and trends. That has also spawned a whole market for watches that merely look like Rolexes, but they’re strictly the province of second-raters and almost-rans. A genuine Rolex is and always has been a major measure of success both for the men who choose to wear them and those who will merely cast covetous glances at them. The question for most men with any interest in watches is not in fact whether they can afford a Rolex but when. At age 20 you may set yourself a goal to be wearing one by age 30. And should you manage to achieve it before then the accomplishment will be all the sweeter.

As Rolex, founded in 1905, steams into its second century with no sign of relinquishing its status or standards, it consistently wins awards as the most reputable company in the world. Privately held, independently owned and immensely profitable, Rolex does not need to make any concessions to the market.

“In the watchmaking world, 110 years isn’t all that long,” notes Paul Altieri, founder of online luxury watch retailer Bob’s Watches as well as one of the world’s top Rolex collectors. “And there are other prestigious and expensive brands like Patek Philippe. But Rolex is the all-round coolest and most iconic. From Sir Edmund Hillary to James Bond, Paul Newman and Steve McQueen, there’s never been any question about which watch these men would wear. It’s Rolex or nothing.”

“Rolex watches have a rugged masculinity to them, and they’re extremely capable tools as well,” Altieri adds. “There’s really no other watch that measures up. And there are Rolex models to suit every lifestyle and sensibility, from sport watches to dress watches, all of them beautifully made and the very best of their kind. Rolexes are never mass produced, but rather made carefully, and painstakingly, by hand. In fact, It takes about a year to make each watch. And it shows.”

You don’t have to be interested in Rolex’s rich history to benefit from it. As German watch expert Gilbert Brunner, author of The Watch Book: Rolex, notes, “Innovative dynamism, precision, longevity, reliability, recognizability and exemplary preservation of value are only a few of the factors that motivate hundreds of thousands of people to buy wristwatches bearing the Rolex insignia every year.”

Among other things, Rolex invented the first truly watertight wristwatch and the dual time zone watch, both key features on Rolex models today. Though they have an innate elegance, Rolex’s roots are in sports watches, and the fact that they can perform to exacting standards when called upon to do so is what gives them depth and value beyond mere good looks. Here are the 10 best Rolex watches you can buy, the ethos behind their designs and why they’re well worth the investment:

The Submariner

Famous fans: Robert Redford, Steve McQueen, Sean Connery The most classic and covetable sports watch of all time, the Rolex Submariner is a true icon. Generally considered the world’s best diving watch, it’s a symbol of success, good taste, fine craftsmanship, rugged elegance and a love of the sea. The first Submariner debuted in 1954 and was worn by Sean Connery as 007 in the first four James Bond films, forever cementing its reputation and desirability. It was also adopted by Britain’s Royal Navy. Paul Altieri calls it simply “the most beautiful watch ever made, the one all others are measured against.” Starting at $6,395.00 at BobsWatches.com

The Sea-Dweller

Famous fans: David Beckham, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks A version of the Submariner for serious professional divers – or just those who want something more exclusive on their wrist. An even more hardcore diving watch, the Sea-Dweller is rated to a depth of 4,000 ft. The Sea-Dweller was introduced in 1967, nearly 14 years after the Submariner, and featured a patented gas escape valve allowing it to be used on missions made possible by advances in diving technology. For men of action and those who don’t care that hardly anyone will realize it’s more expensive and exclusive than the Submariner. Starting at $9,750.00 at Amazon.com

The Explorer

Famous fans: Matt Damon, John Hamm, Sid Mashburn The Explorer was born after Sir Edmund Hillary conquered Mt. Everest in 1953 wearing a Rolex Oyster that proved capable of keeping time under the extreme conditions found at high altitudes. One of the most subtle models Rolex makes, it’s a quieter statement than the Submariner and considerably less expensive, though still emanating the exclusivity of a Rolex. It speaks softly but with the same aristocratic overtones. Mens’ style guru Sid Mashburn calls it the perfect watch because it looks good with a suit or jeans and a polo shirt, and doesn’t draw an undue amount of attention.

From $5,050.00 at Walmart.com

The Explorer II

Famous fans: Prince Harry, Tom Hardy, Jason Statham A bolder version of the original Explorer for those who aren’t interested in a diving watch or want to emphasize other capabilities. It has a built-in compass function that makes it unique in the watch world. The current model is a tribute to the 1971 original made famous by association with Steve McQueen. The signature orange hand was initially designed so that cave explorers and polar adventurers could tell at a glance whether it was night or day. The Explorer II has a somewhat more modern appearance than the Submariner but with equally sporty associations and is less commonly seen. Few will realize it actually costs more.

$6,995.00 at BobsWatches.com

The GMT-Master

Famous fans: Adam Levine, Hunter S. Thompson, Hugh Laurie

Originally created for Pan-Am pilots making the world’s first commercial transatlantic flights in the 1950s, its popularity later spread to include the likes of Pablo Picasso and even Fidel Castro. Rolex invented dual time zone timekeeping with this watch and its blue and red “Pepsi” bezel – recently reissued – has become almost as famous as the Submariner’s classic black, though the GMT is also available in plain black for those who favor a more subtle approach. Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert Jr. famously wore a GMT into space and the model has just as much of an exclusive aura as the Submariner.

$10,950.00 at Amazon.com

The Daytona

Famous fans: Paul Newman, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran One of the most exclusive and coveted Rolex models, made for race car drivers who can keep track of their speed with its tachymeter scale used to calculate miles per hour. Vintage examples, especially the rare variant made famous by Paul Newman, can fetch upwards of $1 million at auction. The earliest Daytona models appeared in 1963, named after the famed Florida racetrack where many speed records were set and where Rolex was, and still is, the official timekeeper. There is a waiting list to buy a brand new one and boutiques can rarely keep them in stock for very long. Expect to pay twice as much for a Daytona as you would for a Submariner.

From $11,295.00 at BobWatches.com

The Milgauss

Famous fans: Daniel Craig, Orlando Bloom, Eric Clapton A Rolex with a scientific function, the Milgauss was designed as an antimagnetic watch for those working in high-tech environments where strong electromagnetic fields rendered traditional timepieces useless. Its unique coloring with highlights in orange and green appeal to some and turn off others, but it definitely stands out. Rolex stopped making it in 1988 but revived it in 2007 restoring it to cult status. It adds a layer of interest in that it’s instantly recognizable as a Rolex but many people don’t know what it is because it’s not extremely popular. And no, you don’t need to be a scientist to wear one; just ask Daniel Craig.

$7,298.00 at Walmart.com

The Yacht-Master

Famous fans: Brad Pitt, Mark Wahlberg, Bruce Willis Another Rolex innovation designed to help sailors time the crucial start of regattas, the Yacht-Master has earned growing cachet for those looking to go beyond the Submariner’s ubiquity. It’s nautical-inspired looks signal money and class, but not in an especially ostentatious way. One of the newest Rolex models, the Yacht-Master first came out in 1992, so it doesn’t have the same history as many of the brand’s other iconic watches, but it’s more modern for that. Rolex developed a unique combination of a stainless steel case and a rotatable platinum bezel for this watch. The Yacht–Master II variant was introduced in 2007.

$6,358.00 at Walmart.com

The Datejust

Famous fans: Bono, Andy Warhol, Tom Cruise The most affordable Rolex model is the dressiest in that it eschews the oversized looks of the brand’s sports models. Perhaps an even more widely recognized symbol of wealth and elegance than the Submariner everywhere in the world, in gold it makes a much bolder statement than stainless steel, while two-tone models have their own unique appeal. Rolex originally created this model in 1945 for its 40th anniversary and it’s considered a true icon of the 20th century, widely imitated and copied. A version of the watch is known as the President after being favored by the likes of Eisenhower and Roosevelt.

$4,795.00 at BobsWatches.com

The Sky-Dweller

Famous fans: Jay-Z, Conor MacGregor, Roger Federer One of the newest Rolex models as well as one of the most complicated, the Sky-Dweller is also the most expensive watch on the list. Somewhat ostentatious when worn with casual clothing, it’s popular with rappers and sports stars. Introduced in 2012, it doesn’t do it for Rolex history buffs but gives off a more contemporary vibe. Rolex filed 14 separate patents for the watch and it’s particularly exclusive in rose gold. Wearing one says you’re a winner and world traveler who usually flies on a private jet and has a world-class watch collection. $33,995.00 at Jomashop.com

The Rolex Submariner Evolution 1680, 16800, and 168000

https://wp.me/p9IwKp-JC

Though the history of the Rolex Submariner stretches even further back, the 1680 and subsequent models that followed remain highly desirable for those looking for something a little more daily-wear friendly. Generally on offer in the ballpark of $7,000 – $15,000 (with the exception of the Red Sub, but more on that later), the 168xxx models have yet to start skyrocketing in the same way we’ve seen the 5513 Submariners take off, though as with everything vintage these days we can’t help but think that it’s only a matter of time. Regardless of this, each iteration of the model has its pros and cons for those wanting a daily-wear Submariner that isn’t fresh out of HQ, so we thought we would take a moment to examine the key difference that separates one generation from the next.

We have three Submariners the (from left to right): 1680, 16800, 168000.

Submariner Evolution: Rolex Submariner 1680

Tracking the date of the first Rolex 1680 is a bit of a pain in the butt, though it’s generally agreed that the first of its kind appeared in the late 1960’s. Of the key distinguishing features separating it from its predecessor, the Rolex Submariner 5513, the addition of a date window and a magnifying lens to its acrylic crystal are by far the most notable. A design cue that has lasted in the model range ever since, and one that caused a fair bit of controversy when it was added to the updated Sea Dweller in 2017, this practical update also meant an update to its caliber. The new caliber 1575 by all accounts is a near twin to its sibling the 1570, though with the addition of a date wheel. The Rolex Submariner 1680 is an amazing vintage watch and add to your collection.

Early examples, known as the “Red Submariner” (produced through until 1973), are by far the most collectible. In total seven dial variations of the Rolex Red Submariner 1680 were produced with subtle differences in typeface, the positioning of meters versus feet of depth rating, and other intricacies, but across the board that rare and subtle touch of red on the dial makes these variants much more desirable amongst collectors. On the flip side, a more “average” 1680 can be had at a much lower cost of entry if you’d prefer an early Sub that you don’t need to be afraid to wear daily. The fact that it uses an acrylic crystal means it’s a touch less “rough and tumble” than the models that followed, which is something to keep in mind depending on your wearing habits.

The Submariner 16800 is a stunning watch and is sure to increase in value as time comes.

Rolex Submariner 16800

In many ways, the 16800 is considered the best of both worlds as far as striking a balance of vintage charm and modern wearability. Known as the “transitional Sub” in most circles, the new model arrived in 1978 to replace its aforementioned sibling. The 16800 retains the matte dial and painted indices of its predecessors, paired with desired modern accouterments, including a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and an updated caliber. With the arrival of the Rolex caliber 3035, the operating frequency of the balance was increased to a modern 4Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour, and also marked the introduction of a quick-set date function for the first time. Its power reserve also increased to 50 hours, however when it comes to the core mechanics of the caliber the 3035 remains quite similar to the 1575 it replaced. By this time Rolex was more than aware of the level of reliability and accuracy they had created, and wisely decided not to attempt to reinvent the wheel as they evolved the caliber.

So far prices of the 16800 reference Submariners have stayed reasonably approachable compared to the older subs on the market, and with roughly a decade in production (ending in 1988) they are fairly easy to come by in reasonable shape. What’s particularly appealing about hunting for your own 16800 is the broad range of aging seen on the many examples on the market. While some examples can be found in very fresh and near mint condition, their bezels were also occasionally prone to premature fading, leading to the much-loved “ghost bezel” look (as seen on the wrist of Bob’s Watches owner Paul Altieri, among others).

Which of these Submariners do you like the most?

Rolex Submariner 168000

At a cursory glance, spotting the differences between a 16800 and the 16800 (or “triple zero”) is no easy task. The rare and glossy-dialed Subs were only produced from mid-1988 through into 1989, and at the end of the day their only real differentiating factor is that their release marked Rolex’s integration of 904L stainless steel rather than the more conventional 316L they had used previously—a steel that is still used to this day by 99% of other watch brands in the marketplace. By the tail end of production of its double zero sibling, Rolex had already began using the gloss dials and raised indices you see here on the 168000. It’s safe to speculate that this limited-production scarcity will see values of the triple zero rise in the years to come, however for the time being it’s a rock-solid example of a classic Submariner that’s engineered at its core to be a practical, wearable, and above all durable timepiece.

OC Intro Song

Tagged ages ago by @strafethesesinners. Love youuuu

Rules: pick one (or all!) of your OCs from any fandom and post the song you think would play when they are introduced to the audience and why!

Starting off the Gang with Mei bc it’s the most obvious song choice

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

For the sole purpose of having identical vibes to the opening of Devil Wears Prada. I’d want to get across how Mei’s sort of been outrunning her trauma successfully/has a career she’s perfectly happy with and good at - and then Zemo comes and steamrolls everything.

Anderson: Dead Girl Walking Reprise: Barrett Willbert Weed

Mainly just for the opening that’s basically her entire storyline post Scream 2/come her time in the Trials when she realizes one of the Ghostfaces is Mickey. She unknowingly encouraged his behavior and that hangs over her head like a ten ton weight - so she’s going to fix that problem. Violently.

Altieri: Maneater: Nelly Furtado or Teeth: Lady Gaga

Killer!Max is a very confident, sinister-but-sexy presence and she knows it- and wants everybody to think the same. I’m imagining the typical very slow, male gaze pan up from feet to face with her entering the Fog while twirling a knife or something. She came here to attack people and she’s having such a good time right now.

Rick Cain: Short Change Hero: The Heavy

When the guitar picks up I always get western-empty-desert vibes, which is kind of what I would want for Rick. Sure, Montana isn’t a desert, but he goes there because he drew the short straw to go find out what happened with the guy his office hates. He’s got no idea what he walked into and he doesn’t even know he’s out of his depth. Also down to the play by play: Montage of him showing up. Entering the county via plane when the guitar starts, then he stumbles across some Peggie business when the humming starts, he witnesses them killing someone- and then they spot him and start to go after him and he bolts bc he immediately understands that Things Aren’t Right.

Woman: Kesha or Raise Your Glass: Pink

Standard fair for “Partier, Strong Believer in Girl Power But Also Disaster of a Human Being” characters- and Nic is no different. Waking up looking like death to an alarm and dragging herself through her morning routine, maybe?

A New Hope / Obi-Wan: John Williams

Seems sacrilege not to have her have an actual Star Wars song as her intro. Not just because it’s on brand, but just because she’s the embodiment of being Obi-Wan’s daughter, and also in a literal sense that Raza’s name very much intentionally means “hope”, which the Jedi need when she’s introduced, so it’s smack dab on the nose.

What Flavor is Your Soul

Tagged by @euryalex and @prometheas to do this quiz for some of the kids

Max Anderson

CINNAMON oh child of spice you are bound to the core of the earth. can you feel the heartbeat of nature pulsing through your veins. you are the mouthful of autumn that scorched through your throat, you are the pepper of life that wakes up the weary. the foolish and shaking will attempt to dilute you with sickening sugar, do not let them. your spark is what keeps us alive my dear. keep burning, little star. you see the beauty and the light, but oh you have been fed poison and refuse to drop it onto other's tongues. be wild. I know what your heart is chanting. run. run. run. run dear, find your story. do not trade your spirit for safety. you are a child of the earth, forever seeking, forever dancing.

Bonus Altieri Variant edition:

SALT

ah little kraken, bold are you. restless sailor, dauntless fighter, lower your sword, let me see your shield. ah, of course, they are but the same object. oh wave-tossed ruffian, lend me some of your mettle would you? you have been struck by the sharpest of spears yet you still stand here proudly. but off your guard, elsewhere of the battlefield, you will find your spirit can parch others. your words are but weapons crafted from your soul. little lion, sheathe your claws, or the ones you love the most will suffer. you do not have to be strong all the time love, there's nothing wrong with being soft. vulnerability is not weakness, and if it were, what's wrong with that? strength is not always your greatest tool, your heart is good. put down excalibur, and use your words. you'll find they will carry you much farther. not everything in life is a battle.
