Explore our Rolex Submariner collection by reference, dial, bezel, case configuration and available version. Compare the details that matter before choosing a watch, including case dimensions, movement configuration, bracelet construction and current factory version. Each product page provides its own specifications and available configuration, while our QC process allows order details to be reviewed before shipment.
Browse the available Submariner collection and compare references, dial and bezel configurations, movement information and current product specifications.
Submariner references differ in case size, date configuration, bezel and dial combination, and generation. Use the reference number as a starting point, then check the individual product specifications for the exact version currently offered.
A no-date Submariner reference from the 40mm generation, recognized for its clean dial layout and black bezel.
The later no-date generation uses a 41mm case format while retaining the simple time-only Submariner dial layout.
A 40mm date-equipped configuration combining a black dial with a black rotating bezel.
A 41mm Submariner Date configuration with black dial and black bezel from the newer generation.
Distinguished by its green dial and green bezel combination within the 40mm Submariner Date generation.
A 41mm date model combining a black dial with a contrasting green rotating bezel.
A two-tone Submariner Date configuration recognized for its blue dial and blue bezel combination.
A 41mm Submariner Date reference distinguished by its blue bezel and precious-metal case configuration.
Start with the reference number rather than appearance alone. Closely related Submariner models can differ in generation, dimensions and functional configuration.
Two Submariner watches can look similar in photos while differing in reference, dimensions, movement configuration and finishing. Compare the details below before choosing a specific model or version.
Check the exact reference before comparing dimensions. Submariner generations include different case sizes and subtle changes in proportions.
Review dial color, marker layout, printing, hands and crystal configuration for the exact model being considered.
Compare bezel color, insert appearance, markings, alignment and rotation according to the selected reference.
Movement configuration can vary by reference and factory version. Confirm the movement listed on the individual product page rather than relying on the collection name.
Compare bracelet construction, link finishing, clasp operation and adjustment details for the specific version.
The date window changes the visual balance of the dial. Choose between a date-equipped reference and the cleaner no-date configuration.
Marker alignment, hand alignment and luminous appearance are useful visual checkpoints when reviewing product and QC images.
Factory names alone do not describe every detail. Compare the exact reference, current version, movement, materials and finishing before ordering.
This keeps similar-looking Submariner configurations from being compared as if they were the same model.
Specifications can differ by reference and current production version.
View Submariner Collection →The purpose of QC is to compare the watch being prepared for an order with the selected reference and order details. Visible finishing, alignment and basic functions can be reviewed before shipment when applicable.
Confirm the selected reference, version, dial, bezel, bracelet and other order-specific details.
Check that the prepared watch corresponds to the requested model and configuration.
Review visible dial, hands, markers, bezel, case, bracelet and finishing details.
Check applicable crown, winding, time setting, date and other available functions.
Photos or video can be used to review visible order details when QC material is provided.
Confirm the final order details before the watch proceeds to packing and dispatch.
Inspection points depend on the selected reference and its available functions. QC is intended to review the individual watch rather than relying only on general factory or model descriptions.
The exact inspection points can vary depending on the Submariner reference, version and functions of the selected watch.
Start with the Submariner reference and configuration you want, then compare the current product version. This makes it easier to separate differences caused by model generation from differences between available versions.
Start with the exact reference number. It identifies the Submariner generation and provides the foundation for every other comparison.
Compare the case format associated with the selected reference, including the 40mm and 41mm generations.
Decide whether you prefer a date-equipped Submariner or the cleaner dial layout of a no-date reference.
Select the desired dial and bezel combination, then confirm that it corresponds to the exact reference being considered.
Review the movement information shown for the individual product and current version instead of assuming every Submariner uses the same configuration.
Compare case dimensions, dial, bezel, bracelet, clasp, materials and other listed specifications between available versions.
Use the individual product page to confirm the current specifications, images, price and configuration before placing an order.
When QC material is available, review the individual watch and order-specific details before shipment.

Compare Rolex Submariner references, case sizes, Date and No-Date configurations, current factory versions, movements and product-level specifications before choosing a watch.
The Rolex Submariner is available across multiple generations and references, which means buyers should identify the exact model before comparing individual product versions. Important differences can include case size, Date or No-Date configuration, dial and bezel combination, movement configuration and bracelet details.
Our Submariner collection is organized to help buyers move from the broader model family to individual product listings. Each product page should be used as the primary source for the current watch configuration, price, images and available specifications.
Reference numbers make it easier to distinguish Submariner generations that can otherwise look similar in photographs. Commonly compared references include the following configurations.
One of the first choices is whether to select a Submariner with a date display or a No-Date reference. The difference affects both the dial layout and the reference being compared.
Rather than treating Date and No-Date watches as interchangeable versions of the same listing, buyers should first select the preferred configuration and then compare products within that reference family.
Submariner references span different generations, including commonly compared 40mm and 41mm models. Case diameter is useful, but it should not be the only specification used when comparing them.
The exact reference provides better context for case proportions, bracelet configuration, dial layout and other model-specific details.
Factory names such as VSF, Clean, ZF, APS and QF may appear in product discussions, but the factory name by itself does not describe every specification of a watch.
A more useful comparison looks at the exact reference, current production version, movement, case dimensions, dial and hands, bezel, bracelet, clasp, materials and the visible details of the individual watch.
Movement configurations can differ between references and available versions. Buyers should therefore use the movement information provided on the individual product page rather than assuming every Submariner listing uses the same internal configuration.
The same approach applies to dimensions, materials, weight and other technical information: specifications should be checked at product level whenever possible.
When applicable, QC material can be used to review the individual watch prepared for an order. Visible inspection points may include the dial, markers, hands, bezel, case, bracelet and basic functions relevant to the selected reference.
This product-specific review is more useful than relying only on general collection descriptions because it focuses on the actual watch associated with the order.
A practical selection process is to begin with the reference number, then confirm case size, Date or No-Date configuration, dial and bezel combination, movement, factory/version information and current product specifications.
Once those details are clear, compare the available product listings and review the applicable QC, shipping and after-sales information before completing an order.
