Hello! Stopped at local AD Today, Solid gold new GMT in stock-Wow! Also Green sub offered at 10% off, Are they now readily available? or still hard to come across? dont much care for green bezel, should I purchase for investment?

mike · 16 October 2007, 11:19 AM

I think it depends on where you are. I wouldn't say readily, but maybe more frequent.
I really don't know what an investment watch is.

robbonds · 16 October 2007, 11:41 AM

Terrible investment
buy a watch you plan to wear and enjoy

Bama · 16 October 2007, 11:49 AM

I paid MSRP a for mine a few months back. They seem to be hard to come by in this area. I noticed the other day that Alan Furman is selling the LV for more than $6,100, which I think is a definite increase in price for them. I'm not sure why.

Robb · 16 October 2007, 11:50 AM

If you dont care for the green then I would pass.

I love the green!!!

Gaijin · 16 October 2007, 02:00 PM

10% off on a Green Sub is pretty unheard of. If you like it, get it.

to buy something u dun really fancy, even at a good price, is seldom a good step to take

veilstylez · 16 October 2007, 05:23 PM

damn 10% off of list is like the price of a preowned one. Thats great, but if you don't like the watch it doesnt matter. Honestly I didnt like it when I first saw it. But now I want one for sure in the near future.

Jimbits76 · 16 October 2007, 05:56 PM

Robb I never get tired of seeing that great LV pic.

I wouldn't pick it up if you're not that keen on it.

10% off is a great price for somebody who really wants that watch...doesn't everybody love a bargain?

As for investment...in the UK they are just north of three grand...preloved, they are about £3250. Not that much of an investment!!!!!!!!!!

Ten % on the LV is pretty cool!

It seems that more LV's are hitting the market, but then again it can just be a question of market fluctuations. There also seems to be a "high" on the SS Daytona at the moment, but in a couple of months, both the LV and the SS Daytona can be difficult to get hold of again.

Gedanken · 16 October 2007, 10:40 PM

Like the rest of the guys have said, get it if you like it, but as an investment, thereare better ways to spend that money.

Oyster Lover · 17 October 2007, 01:02 AM

I would say buy it in a flash - don't hesitate at all! It's a great watch, and I do think it will be a good investment over time!

colemanitis · 17 October 2007, 01:19 AM

Green Subs are still pretty hard to find. I've only seen two and I've visited a ton of ADs over the past year or two. Some ADs are keeping them in the safe until they find just the right customer.

Randy · 17 October 2007, 09:28 AM

I tried it on, the green sub seemed lighter in weight than my sub date (89 vintage) Any weight difference?

Arturo · 17 October 2007, 01:56 PM

No weight difference at all. I like mine, and it has even grown on my as I was a tad on the line at purchase time. Got mine for MRSP and one should never pay more than MRSP for ANY Roller in my view. But, SUB LV is a very nice and crisp watch. Just a fatty sub. If you like it get it and it will be fun for you. Get it for fun. Takes a certain type to wear it and not give a rip.

Tombstone · 17 October 2007, 03:44 PM

Like the majority of my Rolex choices, I do not feel bad about buying my LV Sub. I am wearing it right now matter of fact.
