My Watch: Victor Martinez, Dominican Republic
For our inaugural reader profile in the “My Watch” series, Victor Martinez from the Domingo Republic tell us about his favorite piece.
My name is Victor Martinez and I’m the Operations Manager for FedEx Express in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I own a couple of time pieces such as Tag Heuer, Cartier, Rolex, and Panerai. The one I wear the most, however, is my Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner Date 16610 Z serial.
In my opinion this is kind of the perfect watch, I can wear it on any occasion and it will look great. Be it with a tuxedo, a suit or just in my bathing suit, it’s a mix of a sport watch and a dress watch…
It has a date window and a bezel where I can measure elapsed time…I chose the Sub date because is one of the most popular of the Rolex and it would never be out of fashion, now with the new submariner 2010 the 16610 will become a grail for lots of collectors.
For me this is one of the most perfect watches and it meets all of my needs, if I had to get rid of all my other watches and just keep one, this would be the one.

Great watch Victor! I have this model too and it suits indeed any occasion. BTW Could you give some names of Authorized Rolex dealers (new and/or vintage) in the Dominican Republic. I am planning a vacation next february and intend to buy the new submariner or a vintage piece of Rolex.
Hello Marc, we only have one Rolex AD the name is Prota
Hi Victor,
Indeed an excellent piece of submariner you got!!!
I just read your comment on AD delaer Prota.
I have a 1665 rail dial and according to Rolex info they “only” say that this watch was sold to the AD dealer in Dominican Republic. That must be around 1979/1980. Could it be or should it be Prota that ordered this Rolex? On the website you see Prota 1910. I guess they started in 1910 and during the years they’ve become the “only” AD in this area?
Best regards,
Peter
