just got back to work from my AD.. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I have to say, this is the third time going to an AD to check out the Sub-C... and the first two times, i would let the bracelet dangle on my wrist unsized.. This time around, the lady knew I was serious, and said "would you like me to size it for you to help you decide"..

I was shocked.. but pleasantly suprised.. I said sure..

And you know what, as soon as I tried it on sized.. I had to have it..

I have gone throug 6 watches, in the span of 4 years, and this is the first watch I am going to keep to pass on to my kids..

Datejust, milgauss black, gmt2, gmt2c, pam 312.. and they were all flipped..

the quality of this thing is just amazing, built like a tank.. bezel feels tight when turning, clasp locks on tight, lume is amazing..

and now, the obligatory cell phone pics.. stickers freshly peeled....

Dan2010 · 27 April 2011, 10:35 AM

I just did the same thing today only I owned the Sub C once before, flipped it and just bought it again!

rfknauss · 27 April 2011, 10:37 AM

Very nice ....... beautiful Rolex!

GL08 · 27 April 2011, 10:51 AM

what did u think of the gmtiic?

stockae92 · 27 April 2011, 11:11 AM

congrats on your purchase.

whats your wrist size?

for my 6 1/2" wrist, i found GMT IIc to be perfectly comfortable (almost perfect), but felt Sub C was just a bit too big

6 1/2" as well, but honestly I like the heft of the SUB

I really liked it, but the blue lume of the SUB and the NON PCL's are the advantages over the gmt2c imho... also the font on the bezel is a little less in your face..

03cobraa · 27 April 2011, 11:42 AM

Congratulations! You made a very good decision! My SubC turns one week old on Friday.
Somtimes I catch myself at work, just starring at this thing!

I found that I tired of the GMT II C very quickly when I got it 2 years ago- mainly because of the overly busy bezel- if the numbers were the same size as the old 16710 GMT it probably would have helped, but I just found that with the bezel and the always-scratching PCL's that the GMT II C almost gaudy as a result. So I sold it and bought a Sub C which I love

nauticajoe · 27 April 2011, 11:40 AM

Very nice. Congrats!

Danand · 27 April 2011, 12:41 PM

Enjoy it-it is a great watch!

ttomczak · 27 April 2011, 12:45 PM

Very very nice! Congrats and enjoy!

tomallen · 27 April 2011, 05:55 PM

Super watch, wear it in good health. I personally caught the bug so bad I bought the Sub C, then a TT Sub C blue, then a Hulk. I was so out of control the next thing I knew I was running with scissors. I have to go lie down now.

youngr · 27 April 2011, 06:00 PM

Congratulations

speedo · 27 April 2011, 06:05 PM

congrats!
i felt exactly the same when opting for the sub instead of the gmtc which i still like very much.

Roja · 27 April 2011, 06:10 PM

Congrats! Nice pics.

tifosi · 27 April 2011, 09:02 PM

I've been to the AD 3 times already to try on the SubC...I have a feeling I will be there at least one more time to check it out. Congrats!

SWIMPRUF · 27 April 2011, 09:14 PM

Nice choice. Now opt for the GMT II-C. You'll not regret buying it.

mitchy · 27 April 2011, 09:27 PM

congrats such a sexy watch cant wait till i get one of them

Congrats! It is a true winner!

Change your avatar - you have a real watch now! :-)

mtrunner · 27 April 2011, 10:24 PM

Congrats. Why did you not like the GMTIIC? Just curious why you prefer the SubC over the GMTIIC.

bondtoys · 27 April 2011, 10:57 PM

Congrats to your new watch!

I also have been at the AD 3 times. The watches have been protected with plastic foil twice and the watch got me, when I turned the bezel in the 3rd one.

Like a Swiss Safe!

Congrats! You described it perfectly.
