The crown logo inside the dial looks a bit different

It is an exhibition watch - not functioning.

This was posted again a few days ago.

Notice that in ALL the PICS the time is the same (10:11:31) - and even the seconds hand shows +31" in different pictures.

That's a very good observation

I wonder if it feels like the real deal though

Scarface · 24 May 2008, 09:08 AM

Must be like the real deal, of course.

How are exams, by the way?

That colour has to be one of the worst ever put on a Rolex...what were they thinking???

Apart from the Leopard Daytona, of course!

Out of curiosity, does anyone here own a Leopard Daytona? Or would someone even admit that on this forum?

That shade of BLUE is just not right!!

shedlock2000 · 24 May 2008, 04:40 PM

I have seens blue at my AD the other week and posted about it, but i didnt have any photos,

I have mentioned it in passing in other posts too.

That is a horendouse colour, what were they thinking, i have been told by my AD it is because they cant get the bezel in ceramic to match the original cobolt blue of blusie.... then they should just have left it alone!

x2 ...when the first pics of the new Blue Sub came out from Baselworld, I thought the lighting at the time was the reason why that shade of blue was awful looking, now with a more natural lighting, it's definitely not right.

Yes....they should have incorporated this shade of BLUE instead!!

Haven't seen those pics

The blue shade doesn't look that bad and i believe that they chose this shade so that people can differentiate it from the TT blue sub in case it gets updated with a ceramic bezel

Haven't started yet but i am making a good preparation

Magik · 24 May 2008, 08:59 PM

That new blue sub kind of reminds me of those ugly, plastic looking Tag Heauers.

SPORTSFAN · 24 May 2008, 09:04 PM

Hi,

I have to say that I really LIKE the shade of blue and would DEFINATELY buy that piece in SS.

JMHO

It's a matter of personal taste and preference, but I agree with you. As Jocke stated once, this blue Sub looks like something that came out of Kindergarten!

Dummy watches folks... :/

Chuck · 25 May 2008, 12:22 AM

I'm ok with that blue, but it would be nice if the dial is black~

the pimp that lives up the street has a leopard daytona and it is all the rage in the ghetto!

I find the new blue Sub. with the blue bezel fantastic. I hope the colors are represented correctly. You never know until you see it in person. If all goes well I will receive the first one my AD gets ( white gold ).
I think those who are turning their noses up based on an internet printed picture are are making a big mistake. This watch will be a real winner.

Is that a dummy watch or something like that?

timackerman · 25 May 2008, 12:55 AM

That blue is just wrong. It really doesn't do the watch justice
