To ex-SS SubDate owner....did you ever missed it?

I had my SS SubDate since March 2003. I've itching for some "bling" lately.

My options are:

1. Sell SS SubDate...and get a TT SubDate or SS/PT YM
2. Keep the SS SubDate and get a pre-owned TT DJ or WG/SS Diamond DJ

nko51 · 25 May 2007, 10:58 PM

Keep the SS Sub date, and buy a TT Blue Sub!

roadcarver · 25 May 2007, 11:42 PM

Just get a blingy DJ and keep the SS sub date.

STB · 26 May 2007, 01:10 AM

Dear mod...

Please move thread to "General Rolex Forum"....tks.

President · 26 May 2007, 01:15 AM

I want to change my vote from TT Sub to TT or SS DJ.

Mr. K · 26 May 2007, 01:54 AM

Get the DJ, it sound yummy.

And yes I think you will miss the SS sub.

nickp · 26 May 2007, 04:59 AM

Im getting ready for the same thing. I have had a SS Sub Date since 99. Im getting ready to get a SS Black Daytona. Will I ever look back?

JJ Irani · 26 May 2007, 05:27 AM

I've always loved the SS Sub-date and have always considered it to be the ultimate Rolex.....but if you do have to sell it, then sell it for one reason and one reason only.

THIS!!!

Pete · 26 May 2007, 07:38 AM

sometimes i miss my SS sub....BUT now i have a Yamaha R6 motorcycle and an Omega Seamaster black/black and im pretty happy about that!! I may still be in the market for another rollie but i think it will be a DJ. My Omega has that nice wavy dial......

mike · 26 May 2007, 07:42 AM

I'd keep the SS Sub.

sub2004 · 26 May 2007, 08:31 AM

I was in the same boat.

Got made an offer onyl few hundred off from the price i paid for mine new.

But i could not part with my ss sub date. Such a classic watch with lots of memories.

But its up to you, they are not that hard to find, if you wanted it again.

STB · 26 May 2007, 10:58 AM

Wow, never thought my first Rolex purchase 4 years ago is still popular.

Getting the DJ is actually easier for me. It saves me the trouble selling the Sub (at a good price). What may irritate me is to decide which of the 2 to wear. There are also times I feel uneasy, seeing some punk kid wearing the same Sub model. I've lost count on the number of SS Subs I've seen these past years, and wanted a some changes.

Having two Rolex is also good from a financial stand point. It's easier to sell, due to the market demand of lower priced models.

I've learned NOT to be an impulsive buyer over the years, and I'll patiently wait for the right oppurtunity before I pull the trigger. This may takes months/years though.

Regardless, I'm just happy that I can afford to buy or upgrade.

Keep the votes and opinions coming!

dman · 26 May 2007, 12:30 PM

Hard call for sure, but if it were me I would go with the TT sub or YM, those two just do more for me. Tough call though, best of luck with the decision.

idoitsavant · 26 May 2007, 02:43 PM

I would suggest keeping the sub cos you can wear that as your everyday watch or for other physical activities.

Then get a DJ to spice up the collection so that you can wear it for dinners and more formal events. Not that the sub look out of place in a suit but more bling is nice for dinners and such.

Actually, that's my plan.

Bling/Dress: DJ
Casual: JLC MC Dualmatic on strap (Love it...love it, love it)
Beater: SS SubDate
Chrono: IWC Spitfire Chrono

or

Bling/Dress: TT Sub Date, SS/PT YM
Beater: IWC Pilot Chrono...I seen tests on a 7750-based movement, it's jaw-dropping.

SPACE-DWELLER · 26 May 2007, 07:55 PM

I opted for the 2nd version

Of course my suggestions are based on the assumption that you have only got rolex time pieces..
Since you are going to acquire other time pieces then it isn't really "necessary" to keep the Sub date. Actually I would prefer to put a G shock as a beater over the IWC Spitfire

Andad · 27 May 2007, 01:33 PM

I have about 60 watches.

I have given some to friends and family over the years but I have never sold one.

Keep them all if you can as each one was an important decision that you made.

A very interesting point of view...and you're absolutely right.

For each purchase...a milestone achieved. JJ might disagree since, he treats his Rolex like bItches (professing love, then flips them). How many is it now? 20th? or 21st?

gmt 16750 · 27 May 2007, 06:06 PM

For me it's a no-brainer:
Keep the Sub and add a TT Datejust.

mailman · 27 May 2007, 10:32 PM

Keep the Sub and save up a little more coin and add the YM or TT Sub
