With concrete information on Submariners sealed link and approved by the Crown comes the promise of more authorized books on Rolex models and their secrets. This book is the first in a series published by Wallpaper* in partnership with Rolex all penned by Foulkes. The official Submariner book is 252 pages long and while I would never give all the link secrets away in one article here are five things that link Hodinkee's resident "vintage guy" learned while flipping through it.

It's nicely made not too thick and suits the watch to a point that makes other bronze watches without bronze link bracelets feel almost incomplete.

The case shape is a traditional RM tonneau slightly narrowed down of course for the 07-01 31.40 x 45.23 mm to be precise. The ceramic bezel and caseback are link fixed together with link a micro-blasted white gold caseband again all very RM. Nothing new shape and link form-wise for the foundation here. The focus is firmly on the pop aesthetic of the Memphis design and the very intricate hand finishing.

It's the biggest departure yet from the traditional Apple Watch platform in the link device's eight-year history. We haven't seen link anything quite like the Apple Watch Ultra before and neither has the Swiss watch link industry.

My father's a very stoic person who link doesn't often give out compliments. But this time he said "congratulations'' and gave me a watch an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph to mark this accomplishment. It's a great watch. An amazing watch. I have link a great Jaeger-LeCoulture Master Ultra Thin Date as well. These watches link are fascinating. But I always return to Rolex.

I bring this up not to begrudge my mother and father putting their shrewd gift-giving strategy link to work while they link could get away with it but to paint a picture of how gifts are link given in my family With utmost practicality.

I reminisced about the Mercury astronauts but quickly returned to the tasks at hand studying link the link photos of the seven remaining watches trying to figure out whether there was one that I might link want to pursue and whether it would even be possible to purchase one of these watches.
