This is the first officially approved book on the Rolex Submariner telling the story and history to current day of the Sub. An excellent read full of interesting information.
Brilliant Concept, Poor Execution – A Pricey Tribute That Fails to Live Up to Its Promise
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } The concept behind this book is brilliant – a deep dive into the history of Rolex and its iconic Submariner model, created in official collaboration with Rolex themselves. The cover design is elegant and sets high expectations for what lies within. Unfortunately, despite the promising idea, the execution falls short in several important ways.To begin with, this is not what one would consider a true coffee table book. It doesn’t open easily or stay open when laid flat, making it impractical for casual browsing, as you'd expect from a visually-driven book about such an iconic timepiece.More disappointingly, my copy arrived in damaged packaging, which seems to be a common issue based on other customer reviews. One corner of the box was crushed, leaving the book itself with small dents and imperfections. For a premium product at this price point, this is simply unacceptable.There’s also a glaring production flaw: the spine of the book is misprinted. When the book is positioned correctly, the title along the spine appears upside down – a surprising oversight, especially in a publication associated with a brand known for precision.Content-wise, the book suffers from a lack of balance. There’s an overwhelming amount of text, often repetitive and unnecessarily verbose. The author, who is not a watch enthusiast but rather a commissioned writer of various themed books, seems to lack the passion and depth of understanding that collectors and aficionados would expect. There are also several factual inaccuracies that have been pointed out by many in the watch community – these are not minor details, but rather significant errors that undermine the credibility of the content.Visually, the book is underwhelming. The images are printed on matte paper, lacking the vibrancy and glossy finish typical of high-end watch books. As a result, it reads more like an ordinary book than a richly illustrated showcase worthy of the Submariner legacy.It’s a real shame that such a fantastic idea ended up being so poorly executed. Despite its flaws, I’ll keep the book – it remains unique in its scope – but it is certainly overpriced for what it delivers.
Submariner review
Nicely presented with some interesting history and archive photos. A bit to much of a Rolex promo though.
Amazing seller with great products
Amazing book, but better seller. The seller works with buyers to ensure everything with the order is right. Highly recommend.
