Prilog 49050
Pre vidim Explorer 1 na svojoj ruci kao "all around" nego Sub.:)
Prilog 49054
glasao sam za Rolex, moj predlog je Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor sa koznim kaisem, moze izgledati jednako lepo i u kombinaciji sa odelom i u kombinaciji sa obicnom majicom
Moj glas je otisao za Seiko5 koji nije u klasi sa prva dva ali zato kida ostale :) gde je taj cuveni "Seiko-klan" izgleda da su se uspavali malo???:D
Primecujem da svi navodimo ipak realno skupe satove. :)
Od ovih pristupacnih ipak moj glas,pored Conquesta,ide i za Seiko SKX 007.
Razlozi su jednostavni-jako povoljna cena,klasican diver dizajn koji nikada nece umreti,200m wr,luminacija na jakom nivou,mehanizam i vise nego pouzdan i naravno da jako lezi i uz odelo sa sve kravatom i dok opusteno u majci i farmerkama ispijamo pice sa drustvom ili devojkom a i dimenzija mu je takva da lepo lezi i na prosecnoj i na ruci nekog bildera.
Kad izuzmemo cenu, Sub je stvarno najbolji(bar meni) sat za sve prilike.
Da je bilo pitanje za najbolji sat do 200,300,400e, tad bi sve bilo drugacije, a ovako.... Rolex ;)
Apsolutno.Sub je Sub.Jedino je popravka malo skuplja...
A i mami poglede.Sto zbog brenda,sto zbog izgleda.
Ako je suština imati dostupan sat ( tj ne suviše skup sat ) koji nije stvar prestiža, sa mehanizmom koji je pouzdan, lak za popraviti, i čiji rezervni delovi nisu problem a koji može popraviti i časovničar pripravnik ili malo veći entuzijasta, sat koji je u dovoljnoj meri vodootporan , dovoljno elegantan i dovoljno robustan , a koji ujedno ima više nego kvalitetno osvetljenje, staklo i narukvicu i koji ide uz praktično sve odevne kombinacije a može se koristiti i kao radni sat ( osim ukoliko niste kamenorezac, radnik na pneumatskoj putarskoj bušilici poznatijoj kao kobra ... ), čije su dimenzije većini prihvatljive, onda mi u stvari govorimo o Seiko SKX007 i celoj SKX seriji. Rekao bih da ima i modela iz Seiko 5 Sport serije koji ispunjavaju ove uslove , dobar deo njih nije ni dostupan na našem tržištu. Ako se navedeno podrazumeva pod "all around watch " što bi na srpskom trebalo da znači sat za sve ( u smislu pristupačnosti i upotrebe ) onda je to to.
Kada bih trošio malo veći iznos na sat bez mnogo razmišljanja bih uzeo neki Sinn,nisu stvar prestiža, kvalitet neosporan, cene razumne, mada je to u našim uslovima relativno.
Ja govorim o mehaničkim satovima a kada su u pitanju kvarcni s obzirom da mi dnevna odstupanja koja se mere milisekundama (HEQ) ne igraju ulogu, neki kvarc do 300e bi bio više nego dovoljan ( npr Nighthawk ).
Eeehhh , ma jeste pretrpan, ali me kod tog modela privukao "noćni izgled" , koji je takodje prilično zbunjujući i ne čitljiv, ali namunjeno izgleda ... sat sija kao uskršnje jaje :thumbsup:
http://i45.tinypic.com/wp5l3.jpg
Odra Rola ostale konkurente kao od šale .... heheeeee , ma vole ljudi Rolu, pa to ti je. :laugh:
E, da tema cene....u startu sam mislio da predložim tu sentencu "dostupan sat" međutim, predomislio sam se iz jednostavnog razloga, to je sasvim relativna kategorija, obrazložiću zašto.
Kao prvo, ovde je predlog za sat za sve, ali iz ugla populacije koja voli satove, motivisana je da ih skuplje plati, i ceni kategorije kao što su originalan dizajn, kvalitet izrade, istorija, brend itd...
Drugo, iako je ovo Srpski forum, koja bi npr. bila vrednost dostupnog sata u Moldaviji ili Mongoliji, a kolika bi bila u Kanadi ili Engleskoj...kao i pojedinačno gledano, ljudima su različite cene dostupne, pa i meni samom je varirala zarada iz godine u godinu i prema tome sam krojio guber (narodna:)), zato sam se manuo ćorava posla i zaključio da je ovo "forum", da su želje u pitanju, a ko ne želi nešto veliko, nikad ni ne dođe do njega (što naravno ne važi obrnuto).
Izostavio sam kategorije kvarc, mehanički i slične preciznije odrednice jel to su tehničke specifikacije, one utiču na izbor ali ne moraju uvek biti presudne....
Treća i ne najmanje bitna, stvar čiste logike koju sam više puta video, tačnije jako je čest i mislim da i nije loša, da jedan deo ljudi voli dobar sat, spreman je da plati i ozbiljniju sumu i da ima samo jedan sat i takvi ljudi su ranije bili dosta češći (pre nego što je društvo dosta osiromašilo) a u državama gde se standard još uvek drži, još uvek su česti. E takav čovek će se bez problema odrešiti za Rolex, Seamaster, Fortis ili slično i sa zadovoljstvom ga uvek nositi, a ne razmišljati da prođe što bolje u fazonu "šta dobija za što manje para".....Da i da ne zaboravim onu bitnu, sat u današnje vreme nije nužan, ima mobilni, tačno vreme je prisutno na svakom ćošku, tako da izbor sata nije isti kao izbor zimskih guma....znači nije nužnost.
I da, da moram da biram da imam jedan samo jedan sat nikad ne bih kupio nešto iz ekonomske klase ako ne bih morao....žao mi je ako nekom taka stav smeta, ali to je moj sadašnji stav, nosio sam ja i Casio kao jedini sat, nije stvar kompleksa, nego jednostavno , ako mogu i dok mogu uvek bih se odrešio više, jednostavno ima draži u tome da nosiš bar Omegicu ili Tag ili Hamilton ako ne možeš nešto jače (Aqua tera ili Grand Seiko:drool:).
A ovo?
Jedan predlog skupljeg sata: Omega Seamaster 300M Chrono Diver 41.5mm
Prilog 49332
Omega Seamaster 300 M Chrono Diver James Bond Edition Watch. 41.5 mm stainless steel case helium escape valve, screw-in crown, blue unidirectional rotating bezel, domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment inside, blue dial, self-winding chronometer Omega 1164 movement with chronograph, date, and small seconds, approximately 44 hours of power reserve, stainless steel bracelet. Water resistant to 300 m.
Ostalo je jos par dana za glasanje, ali sumnjam da ce se promeniti redosled :D
Da, i meni se čini....Kruna vlada:)
Iznenadjen sam ovako dobrom pozicijom omege, generalno koji se stav o omegi provlaci u zadnje vreme na forumu, mislio sam da ce da bude pri dnu liste:) A ja nisam glasao za omegu, koji je verno branim:)

Uz svo duzno postovanje prema svim ljubiteljima Rolexa, ali meni je dizajn speedmastera za dve dužine štapa ispred sub-ovog (jasno mi je da se ovi dizajni ne mogu meriti ni u kom kontekstu, da su potpuno razliciti satovi, samo dajem svoje obrazlozenje izbora) Elem, kvalitet i prestiz koji sat nosi su nesporno na strani Rolex-a, ali ako bih birao jedan sat u koji cu JA svaki dan da gledam, koji ce biti deo moje licnosti, mog karaktera...ite kako cu tu estetsku stranu da uzmem u obzir...
Omega, bez trunke dvoumljenja...

Samo Sub...
Za sve uslove,postujem svako misljenje i toliko satova ima za "all" ali i za odelo i za setnju i za svaku varijantu a i posteno...Rolex.
Mislim glupo je sto sam i komentarisao ali imao sam tu cast da nosim osim seika sve,pa i mogu da kazem.
Večeras se glasanje zatvara, ko je zainteresovan a nije glasao, još uvek ima vremena za glas. Do sada Roli dominira, mala šansa da ga skinu sa trona.
All-around sat kao sto je "Rolex" moze da bude samo za onoga ko ima ozbiljnu kintu, a onda kao takav ne moze da udje u ovu kombinaciju.
Za nekoga jeste to sat za svaku priliku, ali za mnooooge je to "high end" sat. Sem ako ne uzmemo u obzir da takav jedan laznjak "Roleta" moze da priusti svako ako nije gadljiv na laznjake. Naravno one od 50-60$ koji se prodaju na pijacama sirom sveta.
Canal Street u NYC je "open market" za ovakav (Rolex) i ostale "All-around" cuke u zadnjih 20 i kusur godina.
http://www.flibill.com/wp-content/up...c1-300x199.jpg
Ako i to moze da udje u obzir, onda to svakako jeste odlican izbor za "All-around" sat.

Anbeast, Veliki Like za Ruskinju :lol:
Narucis Raketu, i stigne paket velicine frizidera. Pomislis: '' 'bo te, ovi mi poslali bojevu glavu balisticke rakete", kad iz kutije, ko cupoglavac, izleti Ruskinjica, nezna i plava ko Vasilisa prekrasna, i nosi RaketLu oko zgloba :D
To onda vredi i vise od 500,600€ ;)
Pa baš i nisam bio za Rolija ali "Vox populi, vox Dei"....šta da se radi, meni je opet Omega ipak nešto realnija varijanta.:D Što se Rakete tiče, može Ruskinijica ali mi se nešto čine da one više preferiraju one satove sa 4 pa i 5 brojeva.;)

The Rolex Submariner - The Diver's Watch
The Oyster Perpetual Submariner is the ultimate reference chosen by professionals with a taste for style and the deep. Launched in 1953, it hailed a new era in diving tradition. With its remarkable Triplock winding crown - a feature that seals the Oyster case as tight as the hatch of a submarine - it is technically superior. The Submariner is water resistant to 300 metres. It is not only an essential art of diving equipment, but gives anyone the opportunity to taste adventure to the full.
More SBS - Project X Submariner
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KS6e1pIK9V...BImage%2B2.jpg
The Project X Submariner with a recurring influence from the legendary Royal Marines' SBS. Limited to just 28 numbered examples per design, each case back of the ‘STEALTH’ series will feature a variation on the SBS ‘Frog, Paddle and Parachute’ Insignia and the motto ‘By Strength & Guile’. Better than the Pro-Hunter MILSUB version in my opinion. The one and only SBS 5517 stays unbeatable of course.

Rolex has the reputation of being slow at releasing products. It isn't just about releasing new watches, it has to do with keeping up with the latest and improving on existing models. One can say that the giant watchmaker is simply being careful. Most of their designs are more than 50 years old. It's hard to mess with a great design and feel comfy about it. But finally it 's here: The new updated Rolex Submariner with ceramic bezel.

When I was admiring this watch in a shop window somewhere in Maastricht, the owner spotted my Sea-Dweller Pro-Hunter within seconds and dashed out immediately. We had a nice chat about our mutual passion. This civilian 5513 with NATO 'Bond' strap is almost as cool as the military 5517.

Submariner versus Sea-Dweller
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...0/152_5283.jpg
Submariner Date or Sea-Dweller, which one do you prefer? When I just owned one watch, the Sub was definitely my number 1. But after a few years I started doubting. This doubt immediately disappeared when the Sea-Dweller Pro-Hunter was released. I wear it almost every day now. Unfortunately the new Sea-Dweller Deep Sea took the place of the classic Sea-Dweller 16600 in today's Rolex range. They manufactured the last in 2009. And to be honest now I prefer the Sea-Dweller 16600 above the Sub, although the differences are very subtle. In short:
- The Submariner has a cyclops, the Sea-Dweller doesn't;
- The Sea-Dweller has a helium-valve, the Submariner doesn't,
- The Sea-Dweller is around 2mm higher that the Submariner, due to the thicker crystal, case and caseback;
- The Sea-Dweller depth rate is 1220 meters, the Submariner's 300 meters;
- The dial from the Sea-Dweller is 1mm smaller than the one on the Submariner;
- The Sea-Dweller has engravings on the caseback, the Submariner hasn't;
And there are a few other minor differences. I think if we would vote among Rolex enthusiasts, it will be around 50/50.

Engraved case backs
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_.../s400/pp34.jpg
Most Rolexes, including the Submariner, do have a caseback without engravings. But the Sea-Dweller does. On the picture you see a caseback from a 'Double Red" Sea-Dweller produced between 1971 and 1977. The engraving says "Oyster Gas Escape Valve" which changed to "Original Gas Escape Valve" on later models.
Submariner 16610 LV
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...0/IMG_0829.jpg
The Submariner 16610 LV, or "Lunette Verde" was issued in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Submariner, arguably the greatest diver watch ever created, and certainly the most famous. While initially thought to be a limited edition model, the LV has remained in production since its introduction. There are only cosmetic differences between this special edition, and the regular black bezel counterpart - the bezel color, markers, and hands are the only difference. The Submariner LV uses the Rolex "Maxi Dial" large size hands and markers, first introduced on the Yacht-Master.
NATO straps
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...james-bond.jpg
NATO straps are getting more and more popular. Some people hate them, I love their comfort and different look. Some even say they are not Rolex worthy. They probably don't know that the Submariner 5517 (designed for the Royal Marines' Special Boat Squadron in the seventies) was issued with Nato-strap only. Quite a contradiction, a 12 euro strap on a watch which is not a real bargain today. Even James Bond was wearing a NATO strap on his Sub in Goldfinger. However I prefer a black strap which fits exactly between the lugs. It looks great on a Submariner as well as on the Dweller.
Sea-Dweller Deepsea 116660
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...10139.JPG.jpeg
I have to be honest, I don’t like the new Rolex Sea-Dweller Deep Sea very much. Its way too big and the bracelet is too small. I'll prefer the classic 16600.
Submariner 5512
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...age.578486.jpg
The submariner has certainly seen many different models and while the 5512 is really a "refined collectors" watch. The 5512 was made between the early sixties to the late seventies.
Sea-Dweller 1665
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...ea-dweller.jpg
Collectors call this watch the "Single Red" Sea-Dweller due to the fact that the "Sea-Dweller" name is printed in red. In contrast, the "Double Red" Sea-Dwellers have both "Sea-Dweller" and "Submariner 2000" printed in red letters. Underneath the red "Sea-Dweller" text on the "Single Red" is "Submariner 500 M - 1650 FT". Beneath that you read "Superlative Chronometer" and then "Officially Certified". The top of the dial has the Rolex coronet, "ROLEX" and "Oyster Perpetual DATE". The watch is a case reference 1665 with the outside of the caseback stamped "Oyster Gas Escape Valve" and "(Patent Pending)" around the outer rim. The inside caseback is stamped "1665" and "IV 67", the first year the "Sea-Dweller" was produced.

Color photographs illustrate every watch model, with hundreds of diagrams providing clear and useful information about the development of each model. Twenty-two rare Rolex brochures from private collections are shown along with numerous catalog photographs and the associated sale prices of sports models sold at Christie's and Sotheby's worldwide from 1997 to 2007. Also included is a current price guide for every model shown in the book. Rolex watches continue to dominate the collecting market and this authoritative volume, now in its revised and expanded third edition, is an essential and timely addition to the library of the Rolex collector and dealer.

Submariner 6204
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...0/CLOSE+UP.jpg
The Rolex Submariner was introduced at the 1954 Basel Fair. It was the first truly water resistant watch. That first production model (reference 6204) was water resistant to 200 meters, and immediately became the ultimate diver's watch. Not surprisingly, the 1955 Basel Fair saw Submariner clones from leading brands, a trend which has not abated after all these years. The Submariner is the most copied watch extant (not to mention outright counterfeits). It has evolved over the years, with many interim model reference numbers, dial variations, and other aspects which make collecting Submariners fun and interesting. Today, vintage Rolex Submariners are not only popular, they are also attractive investments. Vintage Rolex Submariners pay historical witness to the evolution of not only dive watches, but to the evolution of Rolex itself and to diving in general. The Rolex Submariner is a special watch, and the popularity of the modern models is overshadowed only by the fascinating world of vintage Submariners.
Movement 3135
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...400/yacht4.jpg
Originally introduced around 1988 Rolex’s 3135 has been their workhorse movement since then. Of course things haven’t remained static these past 20 years and it has seen numerous improvements and upgrades in order to both refine and improve its performance and reliability. Like most Swiss watch companies Rolex doesn’t make a big deal of these upgrades, so most of the time even their own watchmakers are not aware of them, unless of course they are specifically instructed to upgrade the parts and movements when they come in for repair. Some of the improvements, like their new Parachrom hairspring, they choose to anchor to new marketing campaigns, in which case potential buyers now want to make sure that their new purchase has all the latest and greatest upgrades. But others, like subtle refinements to pivot and teeth shapes, improvements in the alloys of the metals used etc, often go unheralded.
Basic technical info for the 3135 Rolex movement:
Diameter = 28.5mm
Casing diameter = 28.1mm
Height = 6mm
Jewels = 31
Power Reserve = Approximately 50 hours
Submariner 1680
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...0/DSCN7331.jpg
The Red Submariner, model number 1680, was one of the first Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariners that incorporated a date function. I say one of the first Submariners as the 1680 Submariner was produced in two guises. The earlier models had the word Submariner written in red and the later in white. Up to this point the Submariner, having been produced for over 10 years with differing model numbers, never had a date function.
Sea-Dweller 16600 COMEX
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...mexBB20LRB.jpg
COMEX is a French diving company founded in 1961 to explore the depths of the oceans (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertise). From 1970 to 1997 COMEX worked closely with Rolex and many of their deep sea divers were issued Rolex Sea-Dwellers as a tool to do their work. Rolex used this as a way to test some of their new watches and to resolve some with issues from COMEX such as decompression divers and their watches not being able to withstand depths. The Helium Escape Valve was deleloped and tested on 5513 and 5514 (reference for COMEX only) for COMEX before being commercially available in the original SeaDweller in 1967. COMEX watches have also been associated with records and experiments such as the max depth of 701 meters or the Hydra experiments and its common to see those watches engraved with specifics about the experiments etc.
What makes them very collectible is that they were never sold by stores and only issued to divers or officials and that they were made in extremely low quantities even after all those years with COMEX. They also have special characteristics and unique COMEX serial numbers and engravings in the casebacks which make them very interesting for collectors. The Sea-Dweller 16600 COMEX was produced between 1992 and 1997.

Anchors
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CuRUb8UKy_...0/3anchors.jpg
In 2005, a long standing Rolex tradition came to an end. Rolex stopped shipping the famous Rolex Anchor with the Submariner and Sea-Dweller. For many years, Rolex included a small key-ring like, miniature anchor. Much has been written about these anchors over the years - no one is sure exactly what these little trinkets are good for. Some collectors use them as Christmas tree ornaments, while others hang them from necklaces or car rear view mirrors. They don't seem to serve any useful purpose, which is perhaps why Rolex after decades is no longer producing them. Who knows? Maybe in the next 10-20 years they'll be a coveted Rolex collectors item. The water resistance rating is shown in meters on one side, and in feet on the other.

Especially made for the SBS (Special Boat Squadron) in the seventies and also known as MILSUB. An extra reason for joining the Royal Marines in that time. The case back has the Military broad arrow and the appropiate Military markings. Rolex Military submariners came from Geneva with the fixed bars and the special hands and dials but the Ministry Of Defense did the case back engraving. The spring bars were not fitted, the holes were drilled out and solid bars then hammered into place. The ends of the bars were then filled and polished so that they become almost invisible. When it became apparent that the MOD were going to order more of these watches, Rolex chose to give the new watches a distinct model number 5517. The MILSUB is highly treasured by the serious Rolex collector.
