History of the Rolex Submariner

Why a Rolex isn’t just a watch – it’s your story waiting to be written

I always remember the day I first picked up a Rolex Submariner. It was 2012 in a tiny watch shop in Geneva, and the weight of it surprised me – substantial but perfectly balanced. That’s when I understood. These aren’t just timepieces; they’re mechanical companions for life’s adventures. At Expertyco, we’ve made it our mission to help you find yours.

The Rolex difference you can actually feel

  1. Precision that keeps up with your life
    Last month, a customer brought in his 1998 Explorer II that he’d worn daily as a geologist. After a quick service? Still accurate to +3 seconds/day. That’s not luck – that’s Rolex engineering.
  2. Built for real life (not just display cases)
    The 904L steel isn’t just marketing fluff. I’ve polished dozens of Rolex cases, and that extra chromium content makes them shine differently – a deeper, richer luster that holds up to daily wear.
  3. Design that speaks without shouting
    Take the Submariner’s bezel. That 60-click rotation has the most satisfying tactile feedback – precise enough for dive timing, smooth enough to fidget with during meetings.

Models that defined generations

The Rolex Submariner watch – more than a dive watch

  • The click of its bezel is unmistakable – try it in our showroom

Other icons we regularly source
