submariner orgy...

Went to my local AD today and tried on the Sub Date, Sub ND Cosc, Sub LV and finally the new WG Blue Sub...

I am currently saving for a Sub, but havn't decided which one to go for, the Sub ND COSC is growing on me.

When I tried them, the Sub ND felt a bit flatter on the wrist compared to the Sub Date - is the Sub Date a bit thicker or is it just me?

Oh, the new sub was impressive with the new clasp and maxi dial, with the blueish glow...

Maybe it is the cyclops over the date that gives a feeling the Submariner 16610 has a thicker glass?

all of them are stunning pieces.

Talking about the new WG one,we're on a totally differente planet. I'm not talking about prices only...it is really a stunning watch.

Yes,the ND Sub has a flatter case and lug holes aswell.

Maybe, the dealer said that the case on the Sub-date was a bit thicker in order to make room for the date complication. I always thought that they share the same case but have a bit different oyster bands (non-SEL vs. SEL)

Agree on the WG Sub, it felt more like the GMT IIc than the ordinary sub. I asked if she knew when the black SS version is coming, but she didn't know
