My Rolex Submariner Date recently failed to wind either by motion or by the stem. I checked around the net and found that $400 was the minimum cost for basic cleaning and refurbishing and another ??? to repair the winding failure. Say about $600 for a round number.

This watch replaces the Rolex. The Edifice Casio is both bold and handsome, just like the Submariner. In addition, the Casio is more accurate. Most of the quartz Casio watches that I own are inaccurate by less than 10 seconds a month. This watch has both date and day of the week displays while the Rolex only has the date. I like this feature and miss it when wearing the Rolex. Especially nice is that the sides of the watch and band are highly polished. This is the first Casio of this style that I own.

The stainless band links are more difficult to remove than most Casio watches. Consider adding with your watch order a Watch Bank Link Remover tool. I already have one. Using one makes adjustment a lot easier or as a substitute you can have a watch shop adjust your band.

This watch is a great value for the money. If I could request Casio to change some things, it would be to offer this attractive watch in Solar Atomic version and put the price at double or triply the present price. I would buy one. It would still be cheaper than fixing the Rolex.

After owning this watch for a week, I found the time error is about a second. This is less than a minute a year. Forget my need to have an Atomic version, now I only want a Solar version.
