This watch is rarely seen it has a gorgeous blue dial.

The triple lock Rolex crown and oyster case make it a one off special model.

The blue bezel matches the dial

Any guesses????

Pics to follow.

sleddog · 29 November 2010, 04:04 PM

My guess is the one in your avatar!!!!!

A huge congrats either way Steve...!

Lol-x · 29 November 2010, 04:07 PM

Rob the image of the Sub in my avatar is a screen grab off a YouTube video....

....so I didn't get that watch as such

Would you like me to take a photo. The maxi dial looks cool

sleddog · 29 November 2010, 04:09 PM

Ahhhh,Tricky!!!!

But is it that model???

mitchy · 29 November 2010, 04:21 PM

Is it the rare 1980's (I think) japan SS blue sub? Or the beautiful WG Blue Sub (smurf?)? Either way congrats steve now....
PLEASE POST PICTURES!!!!! Put us out of our missery!!

Come on Rob that is a $39K watch.....duh

I don't think so, no it is not the same model as in my Avatar, unfortunately that is a great watch but I don't own that watch.

I'll give you a hint I traded in a Heuer Chronograph with a Lemenia 5100 Movement and on top of that I paid a little over $1,000.

Just processing the photos now....

No, sorry, good try but not even close.
The blue dial is amazing.

mitchy · 29 November 2010, 04:24 PM

The TT sub?? Blue 116613??

mitchy · 29 November 2010, 04:26 PM

Also steve here in WA the smurf is a 50k model :D

sleddog · 29 November 2010, 04:29 PM

Ok....I give up!!!

Sunshine · 29 November 2010, 04:30 PM

Snowflake Tudor Sub?

Colnago · 29 November 2010, 04:31 PM

Have to admit I was thinking the same as Mitch but the maxi-dial threw me.....mmmmm

Very nice Steve......Looks to be in mint shape also!!!

Andad · 29 November 2010, 04:43 PM

Nice one Steve.

Lol-x · 29 November 2010, 04:46 PM

Yes, it is in mint condition.
It has an Oyster case with "Rolex Oyster" printed on the back.
The triple lock crown has the Rolex coronet.
The bracelet is a typical Rolex style Oyster bracelet with a Tudor clasp.
I can't believe how nice this watch is for the price.
The dial changes the tone of blue depending upon the lighting, but it just looks superb.
40mm case. So it's a Submariner well under half the cost of a regular Rolex Submariner.

The dial and hands are all tritium and match superbly, no glow but they look like new.
The sapphire crystal sits very flush with the top of the bezel insert

Even the bezel pearl is tritium too.........bonus!!!!!!!!!!!

sleddog · 29 November 2010, 04:53 PM

Definitely a rich and sharp blue........

Dan has an equally good example as well and I'm sure he'll be ecstatic to see this...!

A great score...Congrats!

EE33 · 29 November 2010, 04:58 PM

Nice one Steve!

Now we would like to see pics of the WG Sub.

Lol-x · 29 November 2010, 05:02 PM

The model number is 79190.

It has a double fliplock clasp with divers extension.

I am totally over the moon with this watch. Just so classy and classic it really makes me

and at a price you might say was the equivalent of just a deposit on a Rolex Submariner.

About the only downside is it doesn't have a genuine thoroughbred Rolex movement. Instead it has an ETA 2824-2 25 jewel hacking automatic w/quick-set date.

With a 200m depth rating this is one solid watch.

Grissom · 29 November 2010, 05:33 PM

Congratulations Steve, very nice example. They didn't make that model for very many years did they? I recall somewhere from the 1990's through maybe 2000? I have begun to want one as well, having seen a very nice examples in the recent past! Wear it well!!

mitchy · 29 November 2010, 06:08 PM
