love the cyclops, hate the minute hand, not a fan of a round hour markers, but the overall looks of a sub is very appealing.
I'd say it's not boring, it's understated. It's a tool watch, it's made for a purpose an it doesn't need and extra bling. I think that all black submariner is the best one.
Certain watches are iconic! The Submariner is one of them. I own the no date above and absolutely love it.
As above this is an iconic watch ,Ok blancpain built the first serious diver but Rolex was second only 1 yr ,if this watch is boring why are there so many copies/homages to it
Classic, but boring.
A classic design certainly owing much to the blancpain undoubtedly.
Often copied of course. Loved by many.
I will never own one because for me it has too many negative connotations over the last ten years or so.
It's a great watch but it's just too bloody obvious. There are many many better options out there.
It’s a watch made for professional. It’s not meant to be fancy. It’s suppose to be easy to read underwater. I took it to my free-diving and it did it’s job.
It’s one of the most popular watches in the world for a good reason.
From a view of a diver who has done over 200 dives, it’s far from boring. 😄
I agree with your cousin.

I don't intended to own one either, but what do you mean by, negative connotations ?
It is a historically significant watch. From the dial, case, movement to the hands you could have a decent discussion. For the uninformed it is just another watch. As you try other watches you will realize how brilliant this watch design actually is. It is hard to make boring look good.

I mean that to me it gives off the wrong image. It is not classy because it is often worn by people trying to portray themselves as something they are not. It is too obvious a choice and too flash.
In addition if you wear one in the wrong area of town you are asking to get mugged.
It is a tick box for someone trying to show off.
That is not to say genuine collectors or owners who have inherited a submariner are wrong but most people with a submariner on their wrist are neither of those things.

Rolex has the homage curse.

Absolutely....thanks.
It's a classic design, I seeing them in person is a thrill!
Boring yes. Classic yes. I wouldn’t mind owning a no date sub but it’s not something I’m actively seeking.
