Scuba Diving with Three Vintage Rolex Submariners

How sad is the silent Strat? There's experiential value, that ineffable high of using an exceptional tool, insufferably cut short in the name of preservation How sad a Porsche whose rear end will never drift again? And then there's inspirational value, the sway of objects whose purposefulness is a call to action Joy is exactly what three vintage Rolex Submariners exuded to everyone who got to see them at work under the surface at the East End of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.

By no means is this an exhaustive look at vintage Rolex Submariners, but these three examples do provide an informative glimpse into the arcane niche of collecting vintage models No matter how capable and wonderful these old Subs are, no one is going to forego their digital dive computer in favor of them, and anyone who puts stock in the practical value of these Subs is overlooking the real reason to celebrate these objects: namely, their ability to remind us of the hopeful spirit and ingenuity of the 20th Century "Anyone who puts stock in the practical value of these Subs is overlooking the real reason to celebrate these objects: namely, their ability to remind us of the hopeful spirit and ingenuity of the 20th Century" More than one person expressed jittery reservations about our taking these three Submariners underwater, fearing they'd leak, fearing that leaks would ruin them, and fearing that, once ruined, they'd lose their monetary value.
