Meters First Red Submariner

[ksing]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to ask your thoughts and know the general opinion from TRF members regarding the "meters-first" red submariner. They go for quite a premium price in comparison to the feet-first red subs. If I'm correct, the meters-first are MK1,2,3 and are much rarer compared to the later dials with feet-first(?).

I don't own a vintage submariner yet, but personally I love the meters-first red subs because I believe there are very rare compared to feet-first and many of the meters-first dials were changed out during service? Also from a lot of photos I've seen of the meters-first they have a very nice brown tropical dial (some dark brown and some lighter depending on the watch).

I would love to hear your thoughts on this and to know if people would be willing to pay the premium for a meters-first. I know condition also matters so in this case lets assume the meters-first and feet-first are in similar condition.

Thank you all in advance!
