Hey guys, it's Erik here from SwissWatchExpo, and today's Fresh From the Showroom
Floor is all about Rolex sport models - specifically the ones that are made to
get a little wet! Summer's dwindling down, everyone's kind of getting back into the
swing of things with their work routines and school routines, but there's still a
few weekends left here that we can enjoy out in the Sun at the beach.
I know Labor Day is coming up as well, so let's talk about some of the watches
that Rolex makes that are made to get wet. So we have the Yacht-Master II, the
Yacht-Master I, Deepsea Sea-Dweller, and other Sea-Dweller and then of course
the Rolex Submariner, which is one of the most popular watches ever made.
As for the Submariners, every time I go to the beach, I see someone wearing one - I
can spot it a mile away. I just know that they're at the beach, most likely it's a
Submariner - either date or no date. Doesn't matter. You can just tell that
very very very popular and often seen black dial with the white indexes. I mean
it's easy to spot a Submariner from a mile away especially on the beach. These
watches are great for the water, they have Triplock crowns which keep water
out up to a thousand feet I believe for the Submariner. So when you're looking at
a watch, you know most of people that are gonna wear these to the beach are out in
the water aren't actually going to dive with them. They're made for diving so you
can, of course, but most of the time it's though a laid-back pool, buy the drink with
your Rolex on, you know. You're more than welcome to jump into the water, get it
wet, the stainless steel is non-corrosive so as much as you wear in the water
you'll be fine. Just give it a nice rinse after you're done. Every time I come out
of the pool or even shower, if I have water on the watch I will rinse it off
with hot water. Just kind of get all the sand, salt, anything that may be corrosive
to that watch off the watch. One of the cooler timepieces that we have on this
list is actually the Yacht-Master - with the regatta timer it creates one of the
more complicated Rolex complications. It's a very cool watch, it has a ring
command bezel, so the bezel actually controls the regatta timer. So it's one of the
only Rolexes that has a functional bezel that functions with the movement. The
other one would be a Sky-Dweller. Now the Deepsea we have up here is the Cameron
dial. It's a special edition - you don't see too many of these out in the public,
on wrists. A lot of people that have those collect them, but of course James Cameron
wore his on a submarine, and they went down very deep in that thing and it was
fine! So the Cameron dial is actually very
cool. I actually really like the Deepsea too. If you're a bigger guy like if you
have a lot of meat on your bones, that's a watch that's gonna look absolutely
immaculate on your wrist. It's a bigger Rolex - it's the biggest Rolex that they
have so size wise it's a 44, but the case size is so thick it fits like a very
sporty watch. Especially if you like larger pieces, that's the watch for you
it's even larger than they Yacht-Master, too. Now the Yacht-Master I is you know
it's it's also made to go in the water. It's a little bit more of a hang back
and relaxed watch, you know, if you're sitting on like a pool deck or something.
It's the watch that's going to be on your wrist you know, it's not made to
dive. It's a hundred meters, so it's very similar to like a Datejust, but it
still has a Triplock crown so it still has the seals on the crown that
will keep it water-resistant a little bit more so than a Datejust. Out of all
these timepieces here, one of my favorites, and it's a recent model, it's
this anniversary Sea-Dweller with the red
writing. It's a 43 millimeter case, so it's a little bit smaller than
the Deepsea. The case size is also a bit thinner as well, so to me you're looking
for a larger Rolex, this one actually is the best fit. It gives you a little bit
of a bigger size, but it doesn't give you that big thick case size of the Deepsea.
It's a very popular watch right now - a lot of people have been looking for it.
We actually have two of them in stock, so you know a little side note, if you are
interested check out our website you can check out the link below, and it'll take
you right to these watches. So as of something that you can wear
every day to the beach, you can't go wrong with any one of these watches.
Obviously you know the Submariner everyone everyone wears one, you know
most people that get into Rolex, that's their first model is the Submariner. So
if you know if you're looking for something different, I urge you maybe to
look at a Yacht-Master. If you're looking for something a little bit bigger than
the traditional Submariner size which is 40 go into a Deepsea or maybe a Sea-
Dweller. You know there's tons of different options. You know even if you
want a little bit of a larger case size but you like that 40 millimeter size, get
the Sea-Dweller 40 to add to your collection, and add to your look
and your style. It gives you a little bit of a more aggressive look. Out of all
these, my personal favorite is always gonna be the Submariner. I think it's just one
of the classiest looks now. As a close second would be the Yacht-Master and then
coming in at the 3rd place for my list would be the Sea-Dweller 43. I just think
that it's such a unicorn and you don't see too many of them out there. So you
know get your hands on one if you can! We have quite a few all these timepieces.
They are listed on our website, and in stock. So if you are interested in getting a
watch on your wrist prior to the swimming season closing and you want to
wear that one last hoorah at the beach next weekend for Labor Day, feel free to
check it out: www.SwissWatchExpo.com and then next week we're gonna have a
brand new episode for you from Fresh From the Showroom Floor. I think I'm
gonna bring my colleague Creed on and we're gonna talk some some of his
favorite watches as well, so I hope you guys have a wonderful week and
we'll catch you next week, thank you!
