Toyota Corolla? Lol

I've seen properties in Syracuse go for $12k - so... Like the price of 2 homes 😂😂

Answer is no :)

Thanks mate!

I love Blue as it is my favorite color. The Blue of the sunburst dial on the TT and YG Sub is very nice, but looks more purple to me. That is why I prefer the "real" Blue Smurf dial.

I had this one on the wrist last week and in my opinion this is not really Blue.



Many years ago when I was in the army they told me that I'm color blind. Maybe that's the problem here

So, Gold Sub guys. I now know I will eventually own one. True beauts.

That being said, I'm on holiday in Mexico and am really enjoying glancing down at my 16610 and timing useless crap in the pool.

How many of you guys swim with your gold subs? I'm not talking diving, just straight up splashing around. I'm assuming all, but just curious.

To the Gold Sub owners, do you ever regret purchasing the watch(s)? It is basically the cost of a brand new Toyota Corolla (in some cases more). Not trying to say it's not worth it, because obviously to me, it is. Just curious if you ever feel remorse, and in some cases grow disenchanted with it.

Thanks in advance!
I owned a Sub C Blue dial YG...sold it for the GMT C Green Dial YG....much more of a mans watch. The YG Sub Blue is a little too pretty. IMHO

Don't have a YG Sub (yet), but I have gone swimming with my YG DD and would do the same with the YG Sub, if I were to have one. These watches were made to be worn and used.

Yes, you can. The WG is a lot warmer in the flesh as seen here.

And no, I have no regrets either about buying a gold Sub!!

Some great shots in this thread too!!
