  1. How to Find Out Whether a Rolex Watch is a Vintage Piece Jacques Cousteau's Aqua-Lung revolutionized diving in the 1950s, while Rolex's Submariner revolutionized diving timepieces. The legendary Rolex Submariner models have advanced to become almost as prized by divers as the aqua lung itself and are treasured at least equally highly by collectors. There are many collectors who are ready to pay a high price for an original vintage Rolex submariner. After being manufactured in 1953, the first Submariner was unveiled to the public at the Basel Watch Fair in 1954. It wasn't the first clock designed specifically for diving to hit the shelves. Blancpain and Omega had also introduced diving watches a few years prior, but it was the Submariner that really revolutionized the look of deep- water timepieces by guaranteeing that form followed function. Cousteau was the ideal candidate to assist Rolex in testing the Submariner because of his standing and reputation within the diving fraternity. As with every Rolex, the Submariner's engineering was driven by the need to fulfill the ISO 6425 standard, but

  2. the watch's appearance was equally important. The Submariner was a tidal wave in the world of diving watches that would throw ripples for decades to come due to its product profile and the requirement to outperform all other diver models on the market. One of the most valuable watches on the market today is the Rolex Submariner thanks to its distinctive blend of style, variety, and craftsmanship. Although there have been rumors that Rolex had previously created a specific sort of diving watch, the model 6200 was the first diving watch that the brand formally introduced. This watch, which debuted in 1953, has a thick case and is depth-rated to 200 meters, but it is nothing near the Deep Sea Special's original dome. Many other Submariner models were created by Rolex and vintage Rolex Submariner watches are in demand even today. However, you should make sure that you buy such a vintage collectible from a reliable store.
