Jut got my new subdate bimetal 16613
Just got my new steel/gold submariner date this afternoon (blue face and bezel). It looks absolutely fantastic and I am very pleased. I traded my 9 year old steel subdate for the new one. The AD (same one as I bought it from originally) gave me £1700 for my old watch (never serviced) and it cost me a further £2550 for the new one (RRP £4250). I think that is a good deal given that discounts are hard to come by. I think it was made easier by having paid a deposit on a new lady DJ (diamond set dial) for my wife as a Christmas present).

Thanks for the comments. I agree its a beautiful watch which I will wear daily. The original price for my old watch was £2120 in May 1999, so £1700 for the trade was a good deal I think!

That is a fantastic picture. The colour is awesome (could do with a new cellphone though!! ), no doubt taken with a very advanced DSLR. I will post pics as soon as I get around to taking them. Thanks for your comments. My wife's watch is a 179173 DateJust Jubilee bracelet, bimetal, diamond set dial with a jubilee dial in champagne. (hope she likes it, it is sat the AD awaiting collection just before Christmas).

I was in my AD the other day with mt TT Blue Sub on Z serial number bought in March 2007. They had a new 07 in the case. We compared dials and whoever brought it up before is right. The blue in the very newest ones is a different shade of blue!! Slightlu lighter color! Oh and congrats on your new purchase! |
