Dino: I think the Blue dial in WG looks the best. I think the YG and black dial really pops. Just my humble opinion.

Pull the trigger, I don't think you'll regret. It is a lot of lettuce for a watch but you can always get most of it back if necessary. Having owned an older bluesy sub I just could not dig the ceramic blue, so went with the black. I think your only decision here is which color to get!

The watch definitely suits you Dino....but IMO the wg sub looks better.

However having met you and reading your threads I think that you are in love with yellow gold and want the bling that it offers.

Can you carry it off...absolutely.

You have a clear style and it'd go with that perfectly well. I don't think it'd look ostentatious on you because you're not that sort of person. It's not the watch that looks that way in any case....it's always down to the person and the way they present themselves.

I think it's a great choice given all these factors

Beautiful watch!

I think it 'suits' people <50 years old.....and/or not so much for people that are super high speed/low drag. Don't shoot the messenger. YMMV.

I think it's a great looking watch Dino and suits you to a "T". I see no problem wearing it no matter what you do if it's work or play

Thanks for taking the time to say that Dalip mate

Really appreciate your words I'm seriously leaning towards this watch right now.. Although I have my new found GRAIL to save for (the DDII in RG) I think this may well be a deal I can't pass up..

Amazing watch Dino!

I almost flipped my LVC towards one last year but prefer the SS for everyday being that I already have a 18k watch.
It definately suits you and looks perfect!! If it's a possibility for you I'd say yes!

Dino I love the YG Sub, but it would look better with the black dial and bezel. The blue looks really good on the TT Subs. Also YG is for any age, its just some young people think YG is not modern, however I love YG more than WG even at the ripe old age of 26.

Both WG and YG suit you. The WG is much more subtle and I think it can be worn in more situations. Both can be easily matched in fashion wise, it's just a case of do you want bling or something subtle. Good luck on your decision

It does look good, Dino, and I know you've been lusting after gold for a long while. It sounds like a good price, and if you can justify it, I'm sure you'll love it
