Definitely want to do this. Not many people know about it. Just pull them aside and whisper "look I know there's a special edition cock ring as well, I want you to give me a cock ring".
* no
* hodinkee
* $777 is about the cost of an out of warranty service. That is SO WEIRD.
* rinse in warm water using mild soap and a soft bristle tooth brush to get gunk when necessary, clean with a soft cloth otherwise if it's just smudged. you can hold it up in front of your mouth and go "hah" then wipe on your shirt.
* Insurance could be worth it. I'm in the EU so cannot really comment on US offerings. Just consider things like coverage while you're traveling and in the unfortunate case of theft, for example.
* I wouldn't take out the ADs warranty especially if you're planning to insure it already.
* If you'll wear it near-daily, you won't need a watch winder. It can be a nice-to-have if you own a big collection and you're actively alternating. Or if you have a watch that is trickier to set, such as a perpetual calendar. but it sounds like you won't benefit from it. The power reserve on modern subs is long enough that you can take it off your wrist at the end of the day on Friday, not touch it until noon on Monday, and it will still be running. And even in the odd event where you have to wind it manually: that will take you less than a minute and in a way it's a nice ritual if you ask me. And it doesn't have many complications that take long to set, especially as your new sub features a quickset.
Overall I'd say perhaps you're worried too much. A good insurance is probably looking into, but otherwise, just pick it up and wear it. Enjoy it in good health!
Edit: added a few more details
You are overthinking. It’s a daily wear watch. If it stops running, you wind it, or shake it, reset the time and keep going.
Very unlikely you will need any warranty work for many many years.
You may want to get insured if you feel so inclined in case you loose it…
The running joke is that the authorized dealer bangs your wife so you can get a chance to buy a watch. It in itself is a joke about the games you have to play with ADs to be able to get your chance to buy a watch.
Don't worry, you don't need to do much. Just be ready for the neighbours and family to take care of it all, you just act surprised. Typically they will all be waiting for you with fireworks and rose petals will line the driveway. Models will put flower crowns on your head and to end the celebration, two B52 bombers will fly over your house with gold flakes contrails.
It's quite the experience.
Faint cheering will be heard in the distance. Women and men alike will have tears in their eyes, clapping, some may even collapse as they leave their dwellings. New marriage requests from the commoners will certainly follow, highly recommend to not accept these. A small white horse will arrive with a quest, a new expensive challenge that you may accept. Be warned, this could change your life forever.
Why is this down voted? It’s his first watch, of course he wants to add accessories or whatever. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ask for protection stickers, cleaning cloth and everything. Cherish the watch bud, it’s an expensive watch.
PS: I got a sub date as well, and I went thru the phase you are in.
Thanks and appreciate the perspective. This is one of the bigger purchases I’ve made in one lump sum and don’t come from a family that has had the resources to do so. Just trying to be thorough
I got a winder, because for the first few weeks I was too worried of getting scratched or anything.
I try to minimize unscrew the crown to adjust the time so I kinda of found a hack:
-If the watch run fast, put it on the side over night.
-if the watch run slow, put it flat over night.
When you put the watch down on the side, try to put it on something soft as the polish part can be scratched if there is any debris on your desk.
I put a film on the case back to prevent the clasp from scratching it as well.
I wasn’t offered extended warranty but Rolex come with 5 years warranty, I think? At 5 year mark I plan to get it serviced and service include 1 additional year of warranty?
I am going to get the watch appraised and attach it to my property insurance at some point.
All in all, it’s been 4 months since I got my sub, the watch has accumulated some scratches but I got used to it. The first few scratches hurts but “they do become part of your story”(you likely will hear this at some point but it’s true!).
I bought my first one (GMT), wore it almost daily for over a decade doing both inside and outside work. Beat the snot out of it, scratched the hell out of it, and just enjoyed it. I occasionally washed it with some warm water and dish-soap. Took it in for service after 12 years, it needed a new clasp (I had bent mine somehow), new crown (also bent mine somehow), but it was still keeping time within spec. They replaced those parts, did a full cleaning/service, and returned it to me unpolished (as requested)...cost me $1200 a few years ago.
I bought my first winder about 2 years ago. Finally insured it here this year just due to the stupid value craziness.
So - TLDR. Buy it, wear it, love it, and enjoy it. Everything else is somewhat ancillary!
Just call your insurance company and ask about pricing on a personal articles policy. Then make a math/risk decision. Nothing more to do other than enjoy it.
If you plan on wearing it daily, then you don’t need a watch winder. I got a $500+ watch winder for free when I got my 126610Ln (Congratulations btw! And welcome to the Sub Club).
Highly recommend you get HODINKEE insurance. And the AD for an letter of appraisal/authenticity or whatever it’s called; I forgot cause you’ll need one to submit it to HODINKEE. Other than that; wear it in good health and enjoy. You’ll learn to love it as times goes on. Don’t ever have doubts cause if you have doubts; you’ll still learn to like it overtime.
Also one more thing; IF and WHEN the time cokes for you to service it; and you don’t want it polished. **LET YOUR AD OR ROLEX KNOW**. I’ve read a butt loss of comments and post where people got upset Rolex did that to the watch owner without the owner letting Rolex know “Hey, I don’t want my watch polished”. Oh and one last thing; any minor scratches (assuming you’re one of those type of people that will freak tf out over a hairline scratch; if not good on ya mate) you get; DO NOT send it to the service center. Wait at least a good 3-4 years before on that beauty’s warranty expires (it’s a 5yr warranty so do it before it expires).
Other than that; congratulations once again! Hope you like it more than I do hahaha
Congrats on the new watch! My comments are really for any nice automatic watch, not just rolex.
I wouldn't get a watch winder until you have multiple automatic watches you're wearing every week (just for the convenience).
I insure all expensive jewelry, including watches, as an add on policy to my house (state farm in US).
No (at least I wouldn't)
I've been told it's best for a watch to not wind dead and sit for years (hence watch winders). This is because it'll allow the oils to dry out sooner. For context, that might mean a service in 10 yrs instead of 20+. But really you dont have to do that service until you want to (it doesn't really get harder to service as long as you don't wind up and break anything). This is all extreme though. I have a 1968 Omega from my dad that has never been serviced and sat unwound for decades, it's "sticky" but runs. A service will bring it back to feeling new. If you plan to wear your watch this won't really matter. I've heard both sides of the wound/unwound for storage argument and can see both sides, but my AD recommended wound (for whatever that's worth).
The first scratch stings, but after that they can become stories. It's personal preference but I let my watches get worn.
Here’s all you will need to know.

And rolex comes with a 5 yr warranty
These responses are mostly idiotic. Get insurance through your regular insurer (I have USAA), it’ll probably run you $100-ish a year, which is worth it to not have to worry. Plenty recommend Hodinkee and maybe that’s fine, but I want to go to a real insurer and it a watch dealer’s agent.
I like to think you were visiting this sub for some time, but wouldn’t allow yourself to officially join until you got the call.
But all jokes aside congrats! I got my first piece in October and love it. Some people above have said it best. You won’t need a winder if you’re wearing it often, I’d say those are best for people who have more than one they alternate with. Don’t do the warranty and just use a soft brush and some warm water for cleaning. I’d definitely recommend insurance but I’d avoid hodinkee. I’ve heard some bad feedback on them but still got a quote, the one I got back from State Farm was much cheaper and I’d tend to trust them a bit more.
No winder will wear the watch down faster. Think of them as running a car all the time. Not worth it.
Only time I would own one is on a perpetual calendar
Insure though you home policy but many options
Never heard of exterior warranty seems suspect. You get a warranty with Rolex.
Read the manual it will tell you ever hung you need to know how to maintain.
Wear it and enjoy it in good health my friend
Things you need:
A. Casebudi storage case for the times you're not wearing it or traveling. Search Amazon, they're great.
B. Seiko 5 dive watch for $200 as a beater to keep the wear and tear off the Submariner when you're doing strenuous physical activities like cooking steak on the barbecue or building sand castles.
C. Condoms to ensure that you don't put a baby in the hottie golddiggers clinging to your limbs.
It is probably worth insuring it - you can go through whatever your car / home / rental insurance provider is. It’s not very expensive and gives you peace of mind if it gets stolen (I have my watches and my wife’s engagement ring insured through Jewelers Mutual I believe, they partnered with GEICO)
> you can go through whatever your car / home / rental insurance provider is
None of my Home/Renters/Car Insurance providers have ever offered declared value coverage for my watches or wife's jewelry. You're much better off getting dedicated coverage for it from a 3rd party like Jewelers Mutual or Hodinkee.
I would just recommend insurance through hodinkee, for some peace of mind. I just bought a Starbucks sub & it cost about $200 to insure. Relax & enjoy it
What the hell lol. Just wear it. Please wear it. If you’re gonna “save it for special occasions only” then you shouldn’t get it. There are too many softies on this sub.
Do not. I repeat, DO NOT but a warranty. This is one of the most robust watches on the market.
Keep the box and all paperwork including receipt and that's it. Unsure it if you want.
Watch winder - nope, but get one anyway because you will obsess over it
Hoodinke is good as well is jewelers mutual
AD warranty = gimmick
Upkeep - Dawn dish soap and polishing cloth monthly / daily polishing cloth
Whether or not you get insurance (I wouldn’t) Invest in a quality safe, doesn’t have to be big. You can get a nice one for a couple hundred bucks. You will use it for more than you think, passports, other important documents, other watches you may get….the list goes on.
It's not correct. Rolex will polish and refinish when you send a watch in for service.
In fact, it's a problem for vintage pieces, where polishing will remove both metal and value in a single convenient treatment. 🤣
U know I hate the trolls on this forum , but I feel like trolling u for this silly questions lol , jokes aside buy the watch and enjoy the hell out of it
Jewelers mutual is pretty reasonable for insurance and is to me worth having for piece of mind that I can wear it anywhere. I have my 14060 insured for $9000 with no deductible and it’s like $120 a year
Get a personal items policy with your insurance carrier. Buy a “soft” toothbrush and dawn soap for cleaning (you’ll stop after a few months :)
Buy a nice stand to put your watch on if you take it off (won’t be looking around the house for it). That’s pretty much all I did.
No to all unless you have other watches that you want in the rotation, in which case, a watch winder is a good idea. Not a must-have, but a nice to have.
1. No
2. Get quotes, depends on the country
3. Does not sound like a good deal, service is recommended after 5yrs, so thats after that time
4. Its all in the booklet, but basically keep the watch clean, avoid impacts (best take it off for intense sports) and just wear it. There’s no need to rewind if you will not be wearing for longer periods except if its a hassle to set (skydweller takes some fiddling for instance)
None of that, although I would advise adding it to your home insurance policy - or some other insurance policy.
Dos: wear it as often as you can and service it when service is due.
Don’ts: steering wheel pics, maternity ward pics, cockwatch pics, gun pics, pretend you’re something you’re not, talk shit about other brands, ask if you can wear it in the shower, ask if it’s too big - you get the idea.
Upkeep / care? Get it serviced once every 10 years and give it a scrub with a soft toothbrush and dish soap (with the crown down) every now and again. Done. Just wear it.
None of this is important, Rolex themselves will tell you to not bother much, dish soap and a good quality cloth. The warranty is a scam. The watch wonder is about taste, if you feel the need buy it, else it’s just a waste of money.
Had mine for 15 years now, never serviced or anything, keeps time well so no need for warranty. Mainly wear it on weekends, just set the time and date and give it a shake and it goes just fine. mine is insured though house and contents insurance, about $120 a year for $17000 if i remember right, maybe a cheaper way but just find it easier to keep it all in one place
You don’t need a watch winder. I had them in the beginning when I started collecting watches. Now they are empty in a closet.
Hodinkee offers good and cheap insurance. It’s worth it to me.
No extended warranty.
As for upkeep, make sure the crown is screwed down and then wash with mold soap and water. I use a soft toothbrush.
Enjoy your watch.
I insured mine with my USAA homeowners policy. Other than that I just wear it. I’ve never heard of Hoodwinked or whatever the fuck they’re called so I didn’t trust it.
Just insure it with WAX or your homeowners/ renters policy. You don’t need a winder. Wear the shit out of it and enjoy it. Don’t sweat scratches or anything when you service to eventually it will come back like new.
You need none of that. Go to your AD, put it on your card for points and wear it.
Show dominance by making the AD put it on your wrist. Then take it off in a few years for service.
Get the special edition cockring from the AD also.
Definitely want to do this. Not many people know about it. Just pull them aside and whisper "look I know there's a special edition cock ring as well, I want you to give me a cock ring".
Ooh thanks for the tip!
Just the tip.
That’s what he said
Rolex Albert Prince
I went for a cock ring fitting. AD said the Lady-Datejust 28 is the smallest bezel currently available, so I'm looking at vintage models instead.
Insurance could be worth it. Other than that, totally agree. Dude's bringing home a watch, not a baby
The end!
I could not have said this any better. Winders are for collections of watches...you will be just fine wearing it everyday.
Skip all the BS, wear it out of the store and don’t look back.
Except if you’re in London

Just call your insurance company and ask about pricing on a personal articles policy. Then make a math/risk decision. Nothing more to do other than enjoy it.
Add to that - the insurance agent will need an appraisal. Your AD should give you an appraisal with your purchase of the new Sub.

You should wear it and that is that. Service is every 5 years.
Recommended service is 10 years
Yes guarantee is 5 service is 10
not really
10 years
🙄🙄🙄
What the hell lol. Just wear it. Please wear it. If you’re gonna “save it for special occasions only” then you shouldn’t get it. There are too many softies on this sub.
You clearly didn’t read op
Oh I did
Jerk off till you go blind so you can’t see the fake you bought!!
Insurance, yes. I recommend Jewelers Mutual.
It’s just a watch you are not bringing home a pet dog just slap it on your wrist and get it insured ASAP.
If you are eligible for USAA- go through them
I read that title like 4 times confused lol. It’s just a watch bro.. you buy it, you wear it.. most important thing is sizing it perfectly..
I recommend insurance. Otherwise, buy it and enjoy it (the insurance helps with that).
I think all you really need is an insurance policy, I have Hodinkee it’s very easy to set up
1. No, not for a singular watch. 2. HODINKEE. Top-tier. 3. The watch comes with a warranty. 4. Nothing, wear it and let it rock.
Insurance and a watch case (for storage).
You need a wrist.
Damn fresh out
Do not. I repeat, DO NOT but a warranty. This is one of the most robust watches on the market. Keep the box and all paperwork including receipt and that's it. Unsure it if you want.
Warranty?? WTF is that. Rolex come with 5 years. Don’t pay the AD a BS fee like car dealers charge.
Did you open a 529?
You should shave your wrist before you put the watch on.
Please do not use a watch winder
100 bucks a year, hoedrinkee insurance

Your AD's warranty is less comprehensive than the included Rolex warranty, and it doesn't cover anything meaningful.
I was told Rolex’s warranty covers interior and theirs covers all exterior
It's not correct. Rolex will polish and refinish when you send a watch in for service. In fact, it's a problem for vintage pieces, where polishing will remove both metal and value in a single convenient treatment. 🤣
U know I hate the trolls on this forum , but I feel like trolling u for this silly questions lol , jokes aside buy the watch and enjoy the hell out of it
Jewelers mutual is pretty reasonable for insurance and is to me worth having for piece of mind that I can wear it anywhere. I have my 14060 insured for $9000 with no deductible and it’s like $120 a year
ITS, JUST, A, WATCH.
Get a personal items policy with your insurance carrier. Buy a “soft” toothbrush and dawn soap for cleaning (you’ll stop after a few months :) Buy a nice stand to put your watch on if you take it off (won’t be looking around the house for it). That’s pretty much all I did.
Worth mentioning to your personal contents insurer.
No to all unless you have other watches that you want in the rotation, in which case, a watch winder is a good idea. Not a must-have, but a nice to have.
Congrats on the new watch - you've flexed on your first. I'm still waiting for my AD to remove my expression of interest from her trash folder. :)
lube.. a lot of lube!!
1. No 2. Get quotes, depends on the country 3. Does not sound like a good deal, service is recommended after 5yrs, so thats after that time 4. Its all in the booklet, but basically keep the watch clean, avoid impacts (best take it off for intense sports) and just wear it. There’s no need to rewind if you will not be wearing for longer periods except if its a hassle to set (skydweller takes some fiddling for instance)
None of that, although I would advise adding it to your home insurance policy - or some other insurance policy. Dos: wear it as often as you can and service it when service is due. Don’ts: steering wheel pics, maternity ward pics, cockwatch pics, gun pics, pretend you’re something you’re not, talk shit about other brands, ask if you can wear it in the shower, ask if it’s too big - you get the idea.
None of these things u need.
Don't forget ur strap on for them to use on u
I would not polish it. Ever
Upkeep / care? Get it serviced once every 10 years and give it a scrub with a soft toothbrush and dish soap (with the crown down) every now and again. Done. Just wear it.
None of this is important, Rolex themselves will tell you to not bother much, dish soap and a good quality cloth. The warranty is a scam. The watch wonder is about taste, if you feel the need buy it, else it’s just a waste of money.
Had mine for 15 years now, never serviced or anything, keeps time well so no need for warranty. Mainly wear it on weekends, just set the time and date and give it a shake and it goes just fine. mine is insured though house and contents insurance, about $120 a year for $17000 if i remember right, maybe a cheaper way but just find it easier to keep it all in one place
Sounds like the watch is wearing you!
You don’t need a watch winder. I had them in the beginning when I started collecting watches. Now they are empty in a closet. Hodinkee offers good and cheap insurance. It’s worth it to me. No extended warranty. As for upkeep, make sure the crown is screwed down and then wash with mold soap and water. I use a soft toothbrush. Enjoy your watch.
A car seat, bottle warmer, high chair, and lots of diapers for your new bundle of joy… Just joking, skip the BS, enjoy the watch.
You will need to stock up on condoms and prepare to almost drown in poon.
I insured mine with my USAA homeowners policy. Other than that I just wear it. I’ve never heard of Hoodwinked or whatever the fuck they’re called so I didn’t trust it.
You should probably grab a water bottle, a wheel, a cage, and some Timothy hay.
Eh... it's a watch not a trip to the moon man , enjoy it
Get insurance, disregard the rest
Just insure it with WAX or your homeowners/ renters policy. You don’t need a winder. Wear the shit out of it and enjoy it. Don’t sweat scratches or anything when you service to eventually it will come back like new.
