Horological world cup match 2: submariner v seamaster
Well the Reverso v Tank was a result I was not expecting, I thought it would be more closely fought, but it was a landslide for the Reverso. So onto the battle of the divers Rolex Submariner v Omega Seamaster Rolex Submariner The original, most imitated, ...
I own a seamaster and I love it, BUT...
I also own a black bay 58 which is basically a sub. I love both brands and I appreciate what their strengths and weaknesses are. I can't call it, but here's what I'll say: if I could only wear one watch, the sub would be my choice among these two, while w...
Surely no contest here; the Sub all the way.
Am also somewhat surprised with the prior result; not quite Saudi v Argentina but surprising nonetheless.

My favorites in my collection: 5508 and 5513 models. A 1680 Red Sub is so nice too. Modern made Submariners with ceramic bezels are a bit too bling and masive on the wrist but no doubt the movements are much improved and I imagine that their case building...
Winner for me is the Sub, because of the 1680 Red Sub.
Several years ago, I decided to look for 3 vintage Rolex references: a 1665 DRSD, an older 1675 GMT, and a 1680 Red Sub. I liked other references well enough, but I knew these three would be the only ones I'd actually wear. The 1680 is a home run. That be...
