That is the first watch you have ever shown in one of these threads that I would consider trading the LVC for. Insanely cool looking watch and it looks great on you Dino! Go for it!

I think it suits you just fine Dino. I like the contrast between the YG and the blue.

I know you want the full gold Dino, so, in that sense, very, very nice. I think a Sub should be SS, but, that's just me.....Hulk + rose gold DDII....now that's a combo I could really pumped for for you.

Very nice Dino.

Suits you.

Moves into a completely different Rolex world IMO and would not be a watch that I would wear often for a multitude of reasons.

Ahhhhhhh!!!! Between the YG and WG Ceramic Sub I wish I went the YG route! That looks Supreme on you nephew! I'm not near a computer where I can compute the GBP to USD but it may be worthwhile! Funds permitting there would be nothing to think about! HOME RUN!

I like the look of yellow gold and the blue on that Submariner but No disrespect but I think you are being impulsive. Take your time and think things through. Over the past week plus every gold watch you look at you want. Now there is nothing wrong in wanting a lot of watches because I'm guilty of that as well. But it is a lot of money and the end result should make you happy and not be flipping that watch two months from now. Good luck and I trust in the end you will make the right decision and choice for you!!!

I might of said in the past maybe not so suitable for a younger guy, but I have seen some younger guys, in Essex and London, wearing full gold Rolex's and have come the conclusion - They are hot hot HOT.

You have the green light from me

Maybe not an everyday watch in the office, but on a night out
