LV sub now or wait for ceramic?
I don't have a Rolex yet, so I'm trying to decide what my first one should be. I could get the green one now, or could wait for the new one to come out. I'm planning to get one watch to wear for everything.
Advantages of the new sub: Glidelock clasp more adjustable (more comfortable) Bezel more wear-resistant Parachrom hairspring (more accuracy) Longer-lasting lume AR cyclops More blingy Service available longer no diver's extension (I'd never use it) will be "in style" won't be "the old version" for the next 10-20-30 years Advantages of the LV: Clasp less likely to break Bi-directional bezel with YM spring Lighter (more comfortable) More likely to become collectible Cheaper More stealthy Crystal sticks up above bezel (like the look) Bracelet looks proportional to case Choice of bezel color (black/green) Available now Bezel can develop patina Note that these are what I see as advantages, you might see them differently. |
