I've worn a Rolex Submariner on my wrist, every day, for 18 years.

I haven't tested its 1000' depth qualifications (150'-175' only...and if my watch does make it down to 1000', it'll be attached to my corpse).........I have had it a few times above 16,000' in rather nasty weather...and its done its job.

I like the stainless Rolex line...but I'd probably replace mine with something else just for the sake of trying one of the many cool watches available.

Is it worth the money? To me, yeah.
