What are you looking to get out of the watch? Like, to serve a purpose? Is it going to be a daily?
IMO, while the Submariner and Rolex's are watches that hold their value better than other watches - they're SO boring. Everytime I see one I think of your typically Wall Street wannabe. I've never seen a Rolex and been like " woooooaaaah... nice watch!! ", but maybe because that's because every Joe Shmo has one.

i say, get the watch, the one you are leaning towards, yourself. it is an achievement to be able to consider something like this and those that do not agree have never had their feet on the ground anyways...

I never said it wasn't a good watch. I think it is a great watch, however I just think its very very common.
I had the impression that this was his first watch, but it seems like he has a nice rounded collection, so in that case go for it.
Most people I know who are into watches, typically always chose to get a Submariner for HS/College Graduation. Guess it's just a coincidence.

I can realistically think of over a dozen people I know who received Submariners as graduation presents.
If you really want it, then get it. It's still a big/impressive purchase and a great watch. It's definitely a classic.

I am just looking for an attractive watch that is durable. I will wear it casually with everything from a button down to a T-Shirt. I have an Omega Seamaster 300M Chrono and a PAM104 that are currently filling those roles. I am just looking for something else and have always loved he look of the submariner.
