Initially introduced to the public in 1954, and has appeared in all of the James Bond movies, the Submariner model from Rolex is the most popular watch across the globe. The following is a genuine Rolex submariner review that highlights the features setting this watch apart from the rest.

Manufactured as a diver's watch, the Rolex Submariner is initially created to be waterproof up to 1,000 feet, with the latest models having this capacity up to 4,000 feet. The key feature in a genuine Rolex submariner review is the triple lock crown that uses an extra seal that can be found right within the threads of the crown tube. This gasket can be visibly seen by fully unscrewing the crown and it appears as a black O ring. Without this gasket, a genuine Rolex Submariner cannot be water-resistant.

Another characteristic found in a genuine Rolex Submariner review is the rotational capacity of the bezel in the right direction. Trivial yet as important as the other features, a genuine Submariner has a bezel that rotates counter-clockwise, not other way else, never bi-directional. A click sound can be heard as the bezel rotates at every quarter, not at every minute. The A in the word 'SUBMARINER' on the face of the watch should have a flat top. Fakes have pointed ones.

In the two-tone gold type 16613, the band or bracelet consists of 18k solid gold appearing as folded, hollow links with a tube provision for the screw to go through. The counterfeits have solid, gold plated bands.

Rolex watches are made with utmost care, taking into account every small detail. Such attention to quality is why Rolex has been successful in receiving the chronometer certified status for every watch it sells. In order to retain the perfection of these watches as accurate timekeeping devices, proper servicing is required at an interval of at least 5 years. However, in the case of watches meant for divers such as the Rolex Submariner, it is advisable to take the watch to the Rolex Service Center every 18 months to test its waterproof status.

In the case of pre-owned Rolex watches, apart from accuracy in functionality, the appearance of the watch is also given prime importance. As a result, every pre-owned Rolex, which we sell, goes through a thorough refurbishment process to correct its cosmetic features as well as its performance.
