Hey guys!
I have been very busy..From Semi-retired to Working, WOW!! Yuk. I have not been able to post on my favorite site. In about a month, Ill be semi retired again

so I will be frequenting this site a LOT more

Anyway, my new DeepSea is so SWEET. In all honesty, I thought this would be my final Rolex. WRONG!!!! I find myself thinking about:

1)The Blue and White Gold Stainless Steel Sub

2)SS GMTIIC

I guess those two watches are in my cross hairs (I dont think my wife will give me the green-light, this time).. I am going MAD!!!

Does anybody own that White Gold/Blue Sub? If you do, please post some pix!!

Thanks,

Al

Zed Homme · 3 September 2010, 11:59 AM

Both those watches are great! Idk if anyone here has the WG Sub, but it is absolutely incredible!

darthmouse · 3 September 2010, 12:05 PM

Not sure you want to see pics if you can't have one... Might drive you a little more mad.

...Ah, forget it. We're all addicts!

You don't want to see any pix of it... it will drive you even crazier

for the fact you don't already own one. Run... run while you still have your sanity.

You and me both---- love that model!!! It feeeeels sooooo goood. It is like sex, but just no need to talk afterwards.

paverman · 3 September 2010, 12:43 PM

If I had my sights on another Rolex, it'd be the WG sub w/ blue dial. SWEEEEETT.

sakuraba · 3 September 2010, 12:45 PM

You picked a great watch to lust after!

That WG Smurf is awesome!

Singslinger · 3 September 2010, 05:05 PM

It's a beauty, no doubt. But having examined one worn by a friend who's had it for about 2 months, I'd think carefully before buying because gold being a softer metal than steel means the watch gets scratched easily - and it shows.

In my friend's case he's right-handed and wears it on his right wrist so it admittedly does get banged up around more than if he wore it on the left wrist.

However, to me scratches on a gold watch costing US$20,000 hurts a lot more than on a S/S watch costing US$7,000.

So what do you when you wear a 200k watch...stop breathing..?...

A new one (M series) changed hands in front of me at a watch show a year ago for $16.5K. That is the best deal I am aware of for the WG Sub.
If I could rationalize the cost, I had the opportunity.

rolexguynfl · 3 September 2010, 11:32 PM

The 116619 is a sweet looking watch. Here's a post with photos to drive you crazy:

Had to wait and save for quite a while to get mine, but VERY happy that I did!!

Frogman4me · 3 September 2010, 11:52 PM

I tried on the WG Blue and man is that one solid watch, it is nice and heavy but also has a very heavy price tag! 29k

Paul H. · 3 September 2010, 11:55 PM

Excellent choice Al. It has to be my favourite Rolex, absolutely stunning watch.
Cheers for the pics.

You're right! Wow thanks to those who shared their pics, you just made my day!

QueueCumber · 4 September 2010, 12:28 AM

You can't go wrong with the WG Bluesy or the TT Bluesy if you wear blue jeans a lot. They are, to borrow from food and drink jargon, a perfect pairing.

JUSTROLEXES · 4 September 2010, 12:29 AM

The white gold Sub is a Stunning watch

Those are some old pictures... I've owned few then sold them...

Bspot · 4 September 2010, 12:30 AM

An AD offered this watch to me when it was first released. Nice, but it reminded me of a SS blueTudor sub I had not worn in years.

Zed Homme · 4 September 2010, 12:30 AM

Tony, I may not have been able to swallow the TT on my wrist, but that is just incredible. I'm gonna have to start saving again...

dalip · 4 September 2010, 12:38 AM

Great pics of a gorgeous watch....!
