Blue Sub

I'm nNew to the forum and enjoying myself reading all the historical posts (and new)

I have question maybe I can gauge peoples response to see if the following would be a worth while buy? Blue bezel, blue face SS I know they didi not make them the one I'm looking at has had the face and bezel changed from black. I looks nice in fact it looks great something different.
  • Is it worth buying or would it be worth nothing due to the changes?
  • How much will it effect re-sale value against a standard Sub.?

Thanks
Dave

IMHO, a SS blue bezel, blue face sub would be worth less money and not worth buying. Also, a lot of people might assume it is a fake since Rolex does not make a sub like this. I think it would be difficult to sell.

Sorry to interrupt, in the past Rolex used to release a SS Sub with Blue dial with nipple dial, but is quite some time ago. My advice is to wear it original without alteration to it. :)
