Would that not be one of the sickest watches ever? Like all stainless silver with a white face. Just like the explorer II but in a sub!!!

The reason I was thinking about this is b/c there really isnt a classic or plain white faced dive watch made by Rolex... Too bad :(

it wont really look nice

What? Why do you not think so? Everyone seems to love it in the Daytona and the Explorer II. Why not a classic plain stainless sub with a white face?!??

For those that actually do dive it would be too difficult to read the watch...........or Rolex just doesn't want to.

yeah Imo I don't think a white faced dive watch would do well under water.

deepsea72 · 9 January 2010, 07:48 AM

IF ROLEX stick gaudy PCL on the new SS SUB (destroying what is meant to be a divers watch) then they might as well go all white face, or all pink face, or day glow orange face et cause it would not be a divers watch any longer anyway. What "divers" watch has glossy PCL, nice shark bait.

esm · 9 January 2010, 07:52 AM

actually, orange colour shows best underwater......
maybe all dive watches should be orange coloured. ;-)

A Sub with a white face just isn't a Sub in my book.

Kinda like a lure on your wrist.

Chomp!

Rob587 · 9 January 2010, 08:04 AM

I think you can make a white face sub and still have it be a divers watch. And yea it would be easier to read than all of those blue/yellow gold ect..

rickyslam · 9 January 2010, 08:12 AM

When I saw this thread I was hoping a picture would be in here. HMM..... Maybe one of these photoshop masters in this forum can whip up a white dial Sub date! =D

If they made the Explorer I with a white dial, I would buy it.

I think it would be cool to make a white dial sub with white ceramic bezel! the problem is that most everyone is stuck on tradition... Remember tradition the one that almost put Harley Davidson out of biz.. yes they finally built a metric bike or radiator bike VRod and guess what it sold like hell....

OTE200 · 9 January 2010, 08:46 AM

I've someone on this forum change the dial on their black bezel gmt to a white explored ii dial. Does anyone have the link? That should give you a pretty good idea.

You could always have this item fitted to your Sub http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/White-Mother-o...item5ad50211c7

chriseskew24 · 9 January 2010, 09:05 AM

No a ss sub must always remain black.. Or maybe blue..

Lol! You say that like it's a bad thing. It's not!

What got Harley into trouble was crappy manufacturing. Going back to their tradtional production values is what got them back on track.

cber7 · 9 January 2010, 10:14 AM

White dials look very clean!

Tony2 · 9 January 2010, 11:38 AM

I am not sure how this model would look/sell, but I do like the look of whte faces on watches.

G M · 9 January 2010, 11:42 AM

No, no, no white sub. But, I would like to see a white face GMT with green hand. Maybe I'm crazy...
