My wife bought me a Rolex Submariner many years ago to celebrate a milestone in my life. It was stolen last year. Of all the material things I’ve lost over the years this loss stung more than the others. I only wore it on special occasions but it had great sentimental value. Also, it was something I had always planned on giving my son when he celebrates a milestone in his life. My son loves the watch. He wears a Seiko automatic dive watch that looks very much like the Rolex Submariner.
Twenty years ago the no-date Submariner was $3000. Now they are about $8000. Luckily my insurance paid replacement cost. It feels good knowing I’ll be able to give this to my son sometime soon.
