An honest watch should also have survived without excessive polishing or restorations that could alter or take away from this natural aging process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10208 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Explorer ref. 6610 Red Depth Dial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/vintage-rolex-explorer-6610.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Explorer Honest Watch\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/vintage-rolex-explorer-6610.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/vintage-rolex-explorer-6610-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/vintage-rolex-explorer-6610-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/vintage-rolex-explorer-6610-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are many within the watch world who say this definition is too narrow. Some experts and collectors argue that \u2018honest\u2019 should also refer to genuine parts that are from the \u2018correct\u2019 corresponding period and reference, while a large segment of the community believes that the term \u2018honest\u2019 should apply to any watch consisting of 100% genuine components, regardless of when the replacement components were manufactured. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it should be noted that although later-era service replacement parts are easily identifiable, circa-correct and perfectly matching genuine replacement parts can be pretty hard (if not impossible) to spot, so it is the responsibility of the seller to disclose this information when available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8554 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Submariner ref. 1680 Red Line Dial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/vintage-red-sub-2-e1460047426812.jpg\" alt=\"Honest Watch Rolex Red Submariner\" width=\"1200\" height=\"614\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>But why is honesty important when it comes to your watch?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, that all comes down to value that has been placed on original parts, original aesthetics, and the story that can unfold with an untouched watch over time. Today people are obsessed with the concept of an honest watch because back in the day, it was totally normal (and encouraged) to get your timepiece serviced and parts replaced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means \u2018honest watches (ie. totally factory original) are becoming increasingly rare and hard to find. Additionally, each year as damage and wear and tear occurs, the number of these watches in existence continues to get smaller and smaller. Consequently, those within the community place a high value on these pieces (especially older examples), which in turn significantly drives up prices for them around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6545 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Submariner ref. 6536 Joyeria Riviera Dial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/dial-rolex-6536-joyeria-riviera-submariner.jpg\" alt=\"Honest Watch: Rolex Submariner 6536 Joyeria Riviera\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/dial-rolex-6536-joyeria-riviera-submariner.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/dial-rolex-6536-joyeria-riviera-submariner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/dial-rolex-6536-joyeria-riviera-submariner-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great example of an honest watch is the Rolex Submariner 6538 that hit the auction block in collaboration with Sotheby&#8217;s this month. This watch is as honest as it gets &#8211; the \u2018Big Crown\u2019 Submariner has its original 4-Line dial (with chronometer certification text) that has faded to a bright \u201cTropical\u201d brown color. The owner of this watch never replaced the dial, allowing it to change to this wonderful faded brown color over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some might consider signs of age a defect, it is actually these &#8220;flaws&#8221; &#8211; this &#8216;honesty&#8217; of the original watch\u2019s parts that make it so valuable and sought after today. You\u2019ll also notice slight crazing on the surface, and that the lume plots on the dial, while still intact, have also gained their own wonderful patina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6796 size-full\" title=\"Vintage Rolex Submariner Watches\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/vintage-rolex-submariner.jpg\" alt=\"Honest Watch Vintage Rolex Submariner\" width=\"4956\" height=\"2884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/vintage-rolex-submariner.jpg 4956w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/vintage-rolex-submariner-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/vintage-rolex-submariner-1024x596.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4956px) 100vw, 4956px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>So how do I get my hands on an honest watch?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all honest watches are going to set you back six figures. In fact, you can find plenty of honest watches on the pre-owned and vintage market within almost every price range &#8211; you just have to know what you\u2019re looking for and ask the right questions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/sell-rolex-watch\/investment-answers\">investing in a Rolex watch<\/a> today could really pay off tomorrow, the best part about an honest watch is the fun of it. These watches aren\u2019t perfect, they\u2019re fun and quirky and they have battle scars and stories to tell. They\u2019re far from the mass-produced watches we see flooding the market today because they\u2019re unique, and they wear their hearts on their sleeves. That\u2019s the honesty we love about them.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4303 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 Matte Dial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/submariner-5513-rolex.jpg\" alt=\"Honest Watch Rolex Submariner 5513\" width=\"2468\" height=\"2673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/submariner-5513-rolex.jpg 2468w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/submariner-5513-rolex-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/submariner-5513-rolex-945x1024.jpg 945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2468px) 100vw, 2468px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You value honesty, right?
