I've got all your points
Thank you for taking the pain to answer my provocative comment.
I also felt it was a watch one really has to own to feel that subtle difference between white gold and steel.
Your comment about the that blue colour and your linking it to the blue found in Isnik tiles strikes a chord in me

My favorite Rolex, ever
Is this one.... IMO you behold the perfect Rolex in all senses. It has all the qualities of the near-perfect new Sub-C, minus the ubiquity, plus that extra charm, WEIGHT and (that is the best feature...) color subtleties (metal, dial and bezel change colo...
I wouldn't say that it is the best, but it is at least a nice one.
Not for me, as I still find it a bit too bulky, specially when you compare the size of the lugs and the narrow bracelet, but the most important is that YOU love it. For me, the perfect Submariner is a Big Crown ( 6538 / 5510: 6200 or Tudor 7922 / 7924 ), ...
my favourite Rolex....
actually, this should be a great thread..... I think I would have such difficulty picking my favourite Rolex....will give some thought... Congratulations on your watch.....
Probably a watch one has to own to
really appreciate it? Judging from the pictures I find the pale blue well... very pale (would prefer a navy blue) The good think about this white gold is that it looks like steel. But then, what's the point? Especially for a sports watch? Sorry for my pro...
Well, i think you've missed the point...
Gold that looks like steel is precisely what you're after with a watch like this one. But it does not really look like steel: there is a difference, and the subtlety of that difference is what you come to love a lot when you own the watch. Regarding the b...

my view....
I am not sure ztirual did miss the point.... The beautiful thing about collecting watches is that one persons love is another persons hate. Some love blue. Some hate it. For me, I love blue on a watch. But this is the beauty....a watch is wonderful in the...
Agreed!
I didn't intend to imply that my opinion is the only one right. I'm not so naïve. Sorry if that was unclear. And, by the way, i don't like vintage rolexes: so your point must be right BW, Fred
A big congrats !
I got mine a little over a month ago,, i really is a lovely looking timepiece. My favorite Rolex for sure.
Love my Sub as well!
If you don't have a Sub in your collection, you don"t have a collection. If I could only own one watch, it would be a Sub.
Now, that's a statement! Well said.
I suppose this qualifies the Sub as something more iconic than an icon, more classical than a classic... A must have for anyone minimally interested in watches...
I love this Sub as well
The weight is impressive. You feel the quality of the case and bracelet immediately. The blue dial is brilliant and uplifting. I just haven't come to terms with a gold diver yet. If it was steel I'd have one without question. But for diversity and dressy ...
This one caught my eye in a BIG way
when it was intro'd. I wore it and loved it, but as time passed, the price began to seem absurd. Considering a wg daytona can be had for about the same, LIST, anyway... Ignoring price or a minute, I love the watch, very striking, yet I still have misgivin...
Thanks but...
I much prefer this watch to a wg Daytona. There are TONS of chronos much much better than the Daytona, from the high end brands. Yet the Sub is and will remain the King of classic divers, at least of divers on metal bands. If you don't mind scratches (i d...
