Next year, our high school batch will be the the Silver Jubilarians of Saint Jude Catholic School.  I can’t believe that it’s been 24 years since I graduated from high school!

Is the Green Rolex Submariner Rare?

Rolex Submariner watches are among the most iconic timepieces in the world, renowned for their precision, durability, and timeless design. Among the various iterations of the Submariner, one question often arises: Is the green Rolex Submariner rare? To answer this question comprehensively, let’s delve into the world of Rolex Submariners and explore what sets the green variant apart.

Introduction to the Rolex Submariner
The Rolex Submariner, introduced in 1953, was initially designed as a diving watch and has since evolved into a symbol of luxury and prestige. Its robust construction and water-resistant capabilities make it a favorite among divers and watch enthusiasts alike.

Overview of Rolex Submariner Models
Over the years, Rolex has released numerous iterations of the Submariner, each with its own distinct features and characteristics. From the classic black dial models to the more contemporary variations, the Submariner lineup offers a wide range of choices for collectors and aficionados.

What Makes a Rolex Submariner Rare?
The rarity of a Rolex Submariner is determined by various factors, including its production numbers, design variations, and historical significance. In the case of the green Rolex Submariner, several elements contribute to its rarity.

Limited Production
One of the primary reasons for the rarity of the green Rolex Submariner is its limited production. Unlike the standard black or blue dial models, the green variant is produced in smaller quantities, making it inherently more scarce.

Unique Color Variation
The distinctive green color of the Rolex Submariner sets it apart from other models in the lineup. This unique color variation appeals to collectors seeking something different and adds to the exclusivity of the watch.

Historical Significance
Certain editions of the green Rolex Submariner hold historical significance, further enhancing their rarity. Limited-edition releases or models associated with significant events in Rolex’s history are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

Comparison with Other Rolex Submariner Models
In comparison to other Rolex Submariner models, the green variant stands out due to its rarity and distinct aesthetic appeal. While the classic black and blue dial models remain popular choices, the green Submariner offers a unique option for those looking to make a statement with their timepiece.

Demand and Market Value of the Green Rolex Submariner
Despite its rarity, the green Rolex Submariner enjoys strong demand in the market. Collectors and enthusiasts are willing to pay a premium price to acquire this coveted timepiece, driving its market value higher.

Where to Find the Green Rolex Submariner
Finding a green Rolex Submariner can be a challenging task due to its limited availability. Authorized Rolex retailers and reputable watch dealers may occasionally have these models in stock, but they are often quickly snapped up by eager buyers.

Tips for Buying a Green Rolex Submariner
When purchasing a green Rolex Submariner, it’s essential to exercise caution and ensure authenticity. Buying from authorized dealers or certified pre-owned watch specialists can help mitigate the risk of purchasing counterfeit or misrepresented timepieces.

Maintenance and Care for the Green Rolex Submariner
Proper maintenance and care are crucial for preserving the condition and value of a green Rolex Submariner. Regular servicing by a qualified watchmaker and adherence to Rolex’s care guidelines can help ensure that the watch remains in pristine condition for years to come.

To prepare for our grand alumni homecoming, the batch core group organized a party-cum-planning session under the guise of J.O.’s birthday celebration.  It was a hit as 70 batchmates came.  Guess we were all excited about seeing each other after all those years.

What has happened to our former batchmates?  Well, I’d say we’ve gone a long way since we left SJCS.  Aside from the physical changes like the need for reading glasses and the increased girth some of us now have, it’s gratifying to see that many of us have become successes in our own right, whether in our chosen fields and / or in raising kids who we hope would grow up with the same values that we learned, grew up with, and apply in our own lives.

It’s surprising to see that while there are many changes that maturity (!) has brought about, many things still stay the same.  13 years is a huge chunk out of anybody’s life, and the influence of the institution and the “comrades” in those formative years are sure to make a mark somehow.   The beauties and hunks are still as beautiful and handsome as I remembered them.  The leaders still have that commanding presence and the shy ones like me are still quite shy. 😀

I loved the Human Bingo game, as it “forced” me to make an effort to seek out my former classmates and ask about what they are up to now.  So even if I wasn’t able to complete the form, I was able to know my former classmates just a bit better.

I really enjoyed going to this party.  I am confident that next year’s Grand Homecoming would be a success.  Go Invictus 1987!
