My SubC Date Is ...

so friggin' perfect that I'm not interested in wearing either of my two other Rolexes right now. The bezel is awesome and changes color from a deep black to almost an anthracite gray, depending on how the light hits it. The maxi dial and hands are extremely readable. I love the thicker lugs and case, and the way it sits nice and flat on my wrist. The Glidelock clasp is simply amazing and helps make this the most comfortable watch I have ever owned. Oh, and as an added bonus, it has been -1 sec per day consistently and without any deviation. It has been over a month now, and it is difficult to stop looking at my wrist. Purchasing the SubC Date has been one of the best watch buying decisions I have ever made. It is truly a smokin' piece.

Glad you like it. I have the prior model, but I am a big fan of the new ones, the ceramic bezel is beautiful and the bracelet and clasp are tops.

Yeah my friend..That x10000000

Reading your words I remember how I felt when I got my first and long story short I sold many watches to get another one. If you start considering your second black sub-c I tell you its more than normal. Enjoy!

I am already starting to contemplate either a SubC or a Blue SubC Date. Must ... Not ... Give ... In. I know, I know ... resistance is futile. Oh, my poor bank account.

I have similar feelings my SubC ND since receiving it about 3 weeks ago. Today I finally wore another, BB. But tomorrow it's back to the ND.

I hear ya' brother. I bought my SubC back in September and I can't take it off and I can't stop looking at it still. I was going to buy a polar Exp2 next(and of course debated other models), but I can't break away from the whole package of the new Sub. i LOOOOOVE the glide lock. So, I may be looking to get a 116610LB. I love that blue and TT.

All others are a lesser version of the 116610.
