This Iconic Timepiece Should be a Staple in Your Collection | Behind the HYPE: Rolex Submariner
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2021
- The Rolex Submariner is probably the most recognizable watch on the planet thanks, in part, to a core design that has changed little since the late 1950s.
The iconic silhouette of the rugged tool watch has long-since crossed over from watch and diving circles into mainstream consciousness.
The latest installment of Behind the HYPE looks at the enduring popularity of the Rolex Submariner and the many variations that have fueled a thriving collector’s market.

Glad all of your viewers can afford Rolex Submariner’s
More than one too!
I was bout to say this
Buy seiko submariner mod it's 1 of 1 in quality and look
i have, check ins. no bs
@@chablos2831 Yeah, no it's not. I'm a Seiko fan but what you said is BS.
Everytime I wear this I get asked if it's real, it's such a drag to explain to everyone that we're in a simulation and nothing is real.
Stealing that - thank you
0:10 is a GMT Master 1675 Chapter ring pointed crown guard - NOT a Sub
Love these episodes on watches
Behind the hype 🔥🔥🔥
It's all about greed and avarice. It belongs in my collection because the design hasn't changed in decades and fools buy them for 2x MSRP at greys? BS to that.
And now thanks to the hypebeast, no one can buy a Sub at retail anymore
im so glad Hypebeast chooses to highlight these underground brands. Who knows what will happen now!
The market is irrational
Thank god I still have the 16610 and hope it can increase in price! 💪💪
The last Aluminum Bezel and still rocking a modest case!
Keep it up👍
The value of Rolex, is the amazing quality of service and repairs. Recertification, record keeping, traceability, it's unique identity attached to every unit. Restoration and reliability is difficult to match with other time pieces. It's really about the company that makes them that sets them apart from the rest. Had a sub 32 years, an enjoyable investment.
I have a few, as well as GMT master and daytonas. I honestly refer wearing the rolex more than the AP, patek phillipes and seikos
I have owned many Rolex timepieces but they are massed produced and not made by hand. Approximately 1 million pieces per year. I have moved on to the ultimate dive watch the Blancpain Fifty Fathom’s 5015 & 5050. Breguet, Zenith and Grand Seiko just some of the pieces in my collection.
00:48 whats the name of the beat? Need to know that behind the hype beat
ive always liked the 5513 submariner.
Nobody ever notice when I wear mine and I’m thankful for it
Lucky you, it’s either people asking if it’s a fake or not or it’s getting stolen.
just buy a tudor black bay its the same watch
Jokes on you I got a Casio Duro that looks like a Submariner
Just picked one up 👌🏼😎
Will be making monthly payments for a long time lmao 😂👌🏼💯
Wow! What model?
You bought it used right? Cause seems like it’s almost impossible to buy one new anymore
Surely is the submariner is the 911/G - Class of the watches.. stronger than time!
who else is watching just for the "behind the hype intro"
Love my sd43 mk1 sea-dweller go Rolex😂
Not Facebook. U mean META 😂
The hulk is my favorite!
Many other nice watches, BUT, Rolex is the only watch you can wear daily for decades and then sell it for more than you paid.
And everyone knows a Rolex from across the table, every doesnt know a TWC, Patek, Luminor.
So what.. if you're a real watch enthusiast you would buy a watch based on what you really like, not any of the reasons you mentioned.
Everyone knows because the brand identity it’s so massive, nobody really knows a Grand Seiko, Vacheron, A.Lange & Sohne and Omega either, and those brands are a LOT better than Rolex.
If someone can tell me the name of the Hypebeast Into and outro, I will blow them.

@@rakethram8423 all seriousness, thank you soo much 🙌🏽
@@ViburaBlanca your welcome 👍🏼
raketh ram Why you tryna get blown though
Modern Submariner is a normie rolex by now. Step on any golf course in America and you'll see a dozen of them. It's the Jordan 1 of watches.
Book 1 now and your son will surely get it
Love my bluesy!
Got rid of my submariner for a Daytona

@@nazu5998 got rid of my blnr since they rereleased on oyster. Got my eyes on a rose oyster flex rn
Yeah how did I miss such an important thing that I should own, I'm getting a Rolex Submariner right after I find the money to pay for the phone bill
I’d rather wear an omnitrix 😒
lol
Far too over priced for a factory mass produced watch.
This watch cost $300 about 50 years ago, it is worth no more than $500 now. They now make a perfect replica of it with identical movement and all with materials of the same quality for $ 500. It is in fact a Rolex, it is just not made in the Rolex factory. Think of it, it has a simple and cheap date movement, cost about $50 to make, a bezel cost about $20 to make, some laser engraving etc for few extra dollars. It's a cheap piece of garbage. A Tissot Seastar 2000 with Powermatic 80 is better value for money and better looking and that already probably includes more than 100% profit for the price of $ 1000.
Doesn't change the fact that it's still a replica
500$ in 1970 is equal to 3800$ with inflation
also when you talk early 1970, you talk about the middle of the quartz crysis, so the landscape was totally different
everyone was obssessed with the new, marvelous quartz technology. a movement thinner and far more accurate than anything before
nobody wanted a rolex, seiko is the hot thing. jewellers literally gave mechanical watches as insentive to buy jewellery, while a seiko 4843 was selling for 800$ (around 5500$ today)
context is always important when you talk about history like that
also you can't compare a sub to a seastar, its level of finishing is nowhere near a sub, and its movement is a mass produced ETA compared to rolex own in-house
its much more fair to compare a sub to a fifty fathoms or a polaris
You still have a long way to go my friend, the bread that you are having in your daily life was just a few cents 50 years ago lol
@@Touyoujin Not so much though. $100 in 1972 is equal to $ 684 today. This should give you a value of about $2000 for a Rolex. Rolex would still make more than 100% profit if they sold submariners for $2000. This is no technical marvel. A watch maker will tell you that a Seiko 5 movement if the one or two plastic parts are replaced with metal is just as good a movement as the Rolex and this comes in watches that are currently $300, again now just add some laser engraving and a better quality bezel. As I said the Chinese make an identical Rolex for $500, Rolex movement and all, it is just not made in the Rolex factory. $2000 would be a fair price still, as you already pay a significant premium for the brand name.
Lol, I know the replica factories that you are talking about and they are still far away from making a 1:1. The movement has not been cloned perfectly, it can only look like the original movement. The watch itself also has its tells if it's a replica. This is an uneducated comment.
