I'd love to take a few shots of that one under water..

Bladeshot · 12 September 2018, 01:32 PM

That’s a great one to let grow on you. I can understand not diving with it. I am a diver and I will not dive with mine. Computers replaced my dive watches for functionality long ago.

One of my favourite watches ever... wear it in good health

D O C · 12 September 2018, 03:23 PM

Yes that makes perfect sense Jason.

Beautiful watch. I love those PCLs. And I love how that white gold looks. Thanks for sharing those pictures. I'm sure they don't do it justice.

I hate ceramic subs also..
They are to modern if you want I can take that monstrous watch off you for the price of a pint of beer..horrible thing it is

just looks like SS to me.

Not really a fan either.

Hope it feels different on the wrist.

1William · 12 September 2018, 08:55 PM

Great looking watch. Every time I get tired or bored with a Rolex Diver it will not be long before one is back on my wrist. I am not in a position to where I would only have a one watch collection but if I did then it could very easily be with the Rolex Diver.

Beautiful

I can’t understand why people don’t like the ceramic?. As for the watch, the ceramic is supposed to be less scratch resistant and it probably fades less in the sun. Sounds like more of a tool watch to me. Besides, if I’m doing any work, like working on my car, I will certainly not be wearing my watch. But for daily chores I certainly don’t have a problem wearing my sub c

I believe you probably meant “more scratch resistant”??

I’ve never had to replace an aluminum insert. However, if I did scratch one, it’s about $60 to replace it......not hundreds of dollars. Ceramic is very scratch resistant, but it does scratch, and it is quite brittle and will break. I’ve seen it many times here on the forum. It might not fade over time (incidentally I prefer a faded insert) but the engraved numbers tend to get a little dirty or discolored. Also, I can’t really remove the bezel on a ceramic version if I get grit under it.

This watch was designed for diving. All the things above make it less useable for diving IMHO. I actually use my 5-digit models for diving, and it is my primary timing device. The PM model? I wear it because I’m stuck at work and WISH I was diving. I would buy a ceramic GMT or Daytona, but never a SS SubC

JMHO

droptopman · 13 September 2018, 03:42 AM

I get it. I miss playing with my 4/5 digits. Easy to take off the bezel and insert and change if you like. Lighter, thinner, more elegant. Lug holes, patina, dome plexi on vintage...I was a long time hold out and did not care for the 6 digit models. Tried one when they first came out and sold it quickly. For some reason a couple years ago a friend talked me into trying a 6 digit Sub again. Do not know why, but now I prefer them for daily wear. Not sure what happened but I have 2 now and will be adding a LV when the market corrects. Just the perfect watch to me now.

Subs of all eras are by far my favorite watch. If I has endless resources I could easily have 20+ Subs......

That 116619 is a beauty. Enjoy it!

SearChart · 13 September 2018, 03:47 AM

Hmm

Royal blue bezel & dial and a solid 18k white gold case/bracelet... Yeah I would be drooling over that as well

Main reason I posted the thread.......the lighting was perfect to allow the blue to ‘appear’ a bit darker than reality.

Can you imagine just how unbelievable this watch would look if it were as you described??

Rentalcarman · 13 September 2018, 04:51 AM

Well that isn't just any ceramic sub so there is a lot to love. I have owned that puppy twice and will probably take another swing at it one day. My favorite shade of blue on that is when it is a dark navy. Wear it in good health!!

CoveWatch · 13 September 2018, 04:53 AM

Stunning watch! Congratulations

joli160 · 13 September 2018, 07:30 PM

Great watch, not a real fan of the Sub in general. But this blue

R!$ · 14 September 2018, 01:19 AM

Nice watch.

I'm actually not a fan of the ceramic ones but the new daytona is starting to grow on me because the rehaut is less apparent

Something about these new ones seems too "sterile"

WJGESQ · 14 September 2018, 07:42 AM

WG Sub is my grail watch (currently), I'm sure that will change several times before I choose to plop down $30K for one.

I know it.......it royally sucks getting older, but I guess it beats the alternative.

roosvelt · 14 September 2018, 07:53 PM

5 digits all the way over 6. Put a 6 digit subc in one hand and a 5 digit in the other, tell me with one looks like jewelry and which one looks like a tool watch ! The 5 digit as already proven it self in wars and countless expeditions under the ocean. Subc hasn't been proven yet.
