If you are looking to impress on the golf course, have a look at the Rolex Submariner. The one pictured here is actually a Pre Owned Rolex, “Green” edition and has the 50th Anniversary dial.

You can actually purchase this pre owned for less than $8900 which makes a significant discount of over $1500. The reason is a clever idea by the site www.bobswatches.com where they buy and sell rolexes resulting in a much fairer market price.

Rolex has long been associated with rich and famous. Ian Fleming the author of James Bond was known to wear a Rolex as did Che Guevara.

The Submariner rolex has been used in eleven of the James Bond movies starting with the famous Dr. No.

Steve McQueen was also well know for wearing a submariner and was later sold for $234k at auction in 2009. Just like Steve McQueen in the Great Escape, Officers in WWII often wore Rolex watches but these were often conviscated when they entered POW camps. Rolex offered to replace these watches allowing the officers to pay them back after the war had finished. This boosted moral in the POW camps because it said to the soldiers that Rolex believed the Allies would win the war and eventually be payed back for their watches.

Now that you have had a little history on Rolex, the question remains, is this the watch for the professional golfer?

Rolex certainly conveys a level of class and sophistication that other watch manufacturers envy. If you have ever seen a genuine Rolex up close, you can see the quality and care with which they are made. Being Swiss made they are one of the highest precision watches. Bring this same level of class and precision to your game and  project the image that you need on and off the green.
