5.0 out of 5 stars Keeping time for 47 years By Karl Egeon May 11, 2014 I bought this watch in November 1966 and it has been on my wrist ever since. Business, casual, work, sporting events - nothing, absolutely nothing affects a Rolex Submariner. I ski, run, cycle, dive, mountain climb and do heavy physical labor on my vacation property (cutting trees, tilling fields, etc.) with my Rolex on my wrist. Take as shower afterward (always with the Rolex on my wrist) and off to a quiet evening at home or a social event. This is the ideal watch for an active person. I won't disclose what I paid in 1966; it will make everyone envious.
