Is the Submariner the GOAT?

[Wario406]

Check out this cool video.

I know the sub has been something that I’ve chased for as long as I’ve been collecting watches and I’m happy now to have mine. I’m confident that I’ll have mine as long as I can wear a watch, then it’ll get passed on. I honestly didn’t get the joke until I owned one. And now, living with it everyday I have an even greater appreciation it.

The answer is obviously yes IMO.

For some reason, watching the video I felt an irresistible urge to punch the guy in the face. Kudos to him for mostly focusing on the no date references in images/video (I stopped 3/4 of the way though).

The correct answer is no because as everyone knows, the Speedmaster is the greatest watch of all time

[dukerules]

Yeah not for me. But for the average person, probably.

Yes. For the general public absolutely, for me it's over-priced, over-hyped and over copied

We all like to hump GOAT's, hopefully not the same one.

It’s not as if the goat is gonna tell anyone…..

Creamy peanut butter seems to work well, or so I’ve heard.

[BacoNoir]

It’s one of the most copied design I can think of, which says a lot

Tom Brady is the GOAT, everyone knows that.

Good question….Other potential GOATS:

45mm BP Fifty Fathoms
39-41mm AP Royal Oak

Hard to beat the Rolex…

Unless your a hockey fan, then it's the Great One.

I am going to agree with you on this one.

No, the Rolex Seadweller 43mm is the greatest watch of all time.

If only it had a flatter back…it would be perfect!!!

[hoppyjr]

I dunno…. If the FXD were branded Rolex it would be tied for “the best Rolex” title with the Sub.

If it had screw- in lug bars like panerai then it really would be GOAT imo.

It would also be 4x (at least) as expensive as it is. As you know, I prefer it over my 124060 even after removing the movement issue from the equation.

I don’t disagree. FXD is really the modern Milsub I’ve always wanted, although I’d have preferred a basic aluminum bezel insert. Still, close to perfection. When mated with the Sub, there really isn’t any need for more.

People often don't realize that the FXD is actually slightly thinner (12.7mm) than the 124060 (12.8mm) which I think is the key to it's comfort and look.

Yes, but the 5 digit
