Submariner 6 month update - still going strong

Posted about this back in May when I first got it. Figured I'd give an update since people ask about long-term durability. 6 months of daily wear: office, gym, swimming pool, beach. The movement is still running at +4s/day. The bezel clicks are still crisp. The bracelet has zero stretch. The lume is still bright enough to read at 5am. Only issue: the clasp got a tiny scratch from my desk. But that's normal wear, not a quality issue. Still the best watch purchase I've made. My AD-loyalist friend still can't tell the difference.

How is the lume holding up after a few months? That is usually the first thing to degrade on replicas.

This is so sweet. I did the same for my husband last year and he still talks about it.

My wife got me one for our anniversary. Same reaction - I was speechless. These make incredible gifts.

Beautiful piece. Did you get the Swiss movement option or the standard? Trying to decide if the upgrade is worth it.

Love seeing more women in the hobby. The 36mm is perfect on smaller wrists.

I had mine pressure tested at 10 ATM. Passed without issue. These are legit.

That dial color is perfect. Photos never do these justice.

Fellow engineer here. I did the same spreadsheet analysis. TIME'MAX won on transparency every time.

The chrono pushers on mine are buttery smooth. People are always surprised when I tell them.
