I see mixed views on thus watch
I like it but is it with full retail 9% tax?
Or better to speculate and wait a few months and get 10%
off is sales are slow?
How are these selling? In & out same day elsewhere?

esm · 4 August 2010, 04:54 AM

at least go over to try it on and see if you like it - if so, at least you can keep your eyes opne for later on.
thats what i would do if i were in your shoes.

+ 1 Go take a look for yourself!

rad87gn · 4 August 2010, 05:13 AM

It all depends if you like it or not and how much you want to pay for it.

psv · 4 August 2010, 05:20 AM

Unless you really 'need' it, I'd pass.

tifosi · 4 August 2010, 06:02 AM

At least go take a look...

sturgeon123456 · 4 August 2010, 06:05 AM

I wouldnt rush....i'd check it out....if i did like it i'd wait a few months and buy from a TRF seller at a discount.

spuds · 4 August 2010, 06:06 AM

+1. I'd love to have the new LV-C

Norway · 4 August 2010, 06:08 AM

Yea, go have a look at it. Try it on..feel how it sits on the wrist. Then how the bracelet and glidelock feels..and how the ceramic bezel ever so slightly changes color in the sun. Maybe you'll even enjoy looking at that green gold dial and how it stands out from many other watches.

You dont have to buy it of course..just go have a look I mean..hehe

What are you, a sales rep???? Sounds like you're trying to sell it right to him!

Hi Dan,

I wouldn't rush into this one too soon. First thing you do is try it on and see if you REALLY, REALLY LOVE it!!

Then ask your AD if he has some kind of positive confirmation if that dial is 18K green gold.................and then make your move.

Good luck - JJ

JJ, I thought we have come to the conclusion that the "Hulk's" dial is in fact not solid 18k "green gold" but plated like a gold dial. I got my information from two respected AD's in NYC (Tourneau & Wempe). To the OP as the other legends here have stated I would go and try it on for size. Gold or not the new subs are georgeous!

z32turbo · 4 August 2010, 06:49 AM

I agree it's worth going over to see it in person to make a decision if it's worth it to you.

sakuraba · 4 August 2010, 06:53 AM

I'd put it on my wrist before nixing it, Dan.

Good luck!

It doesn't hurt to pay a visit. But, leave your credit cards at home.

Actually I think i may even be established enough They have my card onfile.
Ya I will try it out and see. I'm getting
The impression there aren't "waiting
Lists" for this watch. Perhaps the
7700 price tag?

Nicko · 4 August 2010, 06:57 AM

No!

Mystro · 4 August 2010, 07:01 AM

I cant see there being a demand for that watch/color combo.

DCgator · 4 August 2010, 07:12 AM

Doesn't hurt to just look and try one on....

Nicko · 4 August 2010, 07:03 AM

I think that once people buy them, wear them, realize that the truly are not all that pretty (IMO) they will be sold at a reduced price on places like eBay. I can't see why for the life of me someone would prefer the new Sub over the old 16610.. This is only my personal opinion.

rfknauss · 4 August 2010, 07:12 AM

I still need to see this watch in person ...... every picture I have seen presents different shades of green.

Have you actually handled the new 116610? It's amazing. The smoothness of the bezel spin, to the beauty of the clasp, it's a wonderful improvement over the (still) great 16610. Take a look sometime, you might like it.

My guess is that many of the people that swear the older 16610 is perfect will, in fact, have a new Sub-C within a few years... time will tell.

No, maybe I should, maybe I would change my mind.

But...from the pictures, I really do not like it at all.

datejust1 · 4 August 2010, 07:38 AM

Just go and see it. Try it on, and if you do like it, you can move on to the next step.

echau · 4 August 2010, 07:41 AM

I agree that you should try it on, but don't bring your money just yet.

Brushpup · 4 August 2010, 08:01 AM

Since you are askin...I say no, dont go yet.

dddrees · 4 August 2010, 08:51 AM
