Okay, let’s talk about this Rolex watch I messed with recently. It’s the no-date, black Submariner. You know, the one everyone seems to love. It’s a good-looking piece, no doubt.
First off, I gotta say, getting this watch was a bit of a journey. I started by doing a lot of research online, I was trying to find a way to add a date filter to the search results. I think I figured it out by adding some weird code to the search bar, something like “tbs=qdr:d.” It was kinda confusing, to be honest. And there was some error when I create project using S7-1200 PLC, but I am not familiar with PLC so I gave up.
So, I hit up a few different places, and the waiting time is a little bit long. Some of these sellers, man, they take their time. I was scrolling through forums, checking out all the usual spots where people talk about these things, and I finally pulled the trigger and chose one.
Waiting game
Then came the waiting. Ugh, the waiting. It felt like forever. I was checking my email every hour, hoping for some kind of update. I even tried to find some solutions online. I found that I need to enable the UTF-8 setting in Windows 11, so I just did it. Eventually, I got a notice that it had shipped. More waiting.
Finally, the day came. The package arrived, and I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, in all its glory. But I couldn’t download the unofficial patch version 10, my browser kept saying “the connection was reset.” It was so annoying, and I just skipped this step.
Unboxing and first impressions
The watch itself? Pretty darn impressive. It’s got a nice weight to it. Feels solid, you know? I just enable all origins while developing my backend. The black dial and bezel look super clean. I spent a good amount of time just staring at it, turning it over in my hands, checking out all the little details. I tried to find the difference between the unofficial patch and the patch plus, but I found nothing, maybe they are the same.
Putting it on
Putting it on my wrist, it felt right at home. It’s comfortable, sits just right. I wore it around the house, getting a feel for it. Then I decided, what the heck, let’s take it out for a spin. I put on my new coat and found a racing game, started a quest to save Vanellope, it was fun.
Wearing it out
I wore it to a few different places. A casual dinner, a more formal event, even just to the grocery store. And I gotta say, it held up. It’s a versatile watch, you can dress it up or down. It kinda has that classic look.
Final thoughts
So, after all that, what’s the verdict? It’s a solid watch. I understand the hype now. It’s not just a pretty face; it feels like it’s built to last. Would I recommend it? Yeah, I think I would. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait to get your hands on one. And maybe have a friend who knows about watches to help you out with the whole process. It’s a bit of an investment, but I think it’s worth it. This watch is like a good friend, always there on your wrist, ready for whatever. It’s a classic for a reason, you know?
I know some folks are really into the details, the movements, the history, all that stuff. Me? I just like a good-looking watch that works well and feels good on my wrist. And this one checks all those boxes.
So, that’s my story about the Rolex Submariner. Hope you enjoyed it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. Just do your research, be patient, and enjoy the ride.
