A Submariner falls into one of the categories I mentioned above. It's a watch that's engineered to perform in adverse conditions. It's fantastic at what it does and for that it's become an icon. And somewhere along the line it has also ironically become a
link canvas for bedazzling gem-set work. I'm unsure of the
link origin story for giving a tool watch the gem-set treatment
link but it's very much a reality. And it's done in-house by Rolex and Rolex doesn't make mistakes.
