At least it is a true Rolex, while this VC is a strange attempt from the brand in the Sports watch world... It sounds tough, but it is my opinion. I don't see it as a true VC, while this Rolex is a true one. Best, Nicolas.
if they did a new sub with a red 'Submariner' writing I'd be first on the list. It's a classic and does exactly what it says on the tin...in the flesh it is stunning too. Just my opinion of course. Andy.

NOT! This is just my 2HRK and I'm not trying to insult anyone or persuade anyone but I can't understand how and why they put VC insignia on dial... the most absurd part is HRS. & MIN. writing on subdials It look's like they made it for complete watch newc...
