I keep reading posts about people not wearing their Subs because it "draws attention" to them. I've seen youtube videos were guys go with Explorer I's instead of a Sub because Subs stand out too much. I never saw a Sub as a "loud" watch. What do you fellas think?

Hard_Six · 25 May 2018, 07:23 AM

Full gold = Yes
116613lb (TT Bluesy) = Yes
116610lv (Hulk) = Kind of maybe
Standard Black Sub = No

IMO of course...

DylanFox · 25 May 2018, 07:23 AM

It's a very clean and handsome watch, don't see it as "loud" at all.

No......

Justinmg · 25 May 2018, 07:28 AM

I don’t think it’s loud, but because the sub is so popular, it’s very recognizable. When people see a sub, they know it’s a Rolex.

It's never loud on a NATO strap. ;)

Boothroyd · 25 May 2018, 07:46 AM

Depends on who's wearing it, to some degree.

Kostas · 25 May 2018, 07:51 AM

The SS , no

The gold one Though :)

superstarmar · 25 May 2018, 07:52 AM

I've seen Invicta and Seiko Sub divers,
aren't those loud? Is the sub loud because it's says
Rolex on the dial ?

I don't think the Rolex sub is loud ... personally

Beautiful shot!!!!

Onequik135i · 25 May 2018, 07:56 AM

SS Sub in either models nope.

Cryten · 25 May 2018, 07:57 AM

A Sub, loud? No

Some Sub wearers? Hell yes, we've all met some of them.

Perhaps those suggesting they are loud just feel more self conscious wearing a Sub due to the cost. $9k is a lot of money to most people.

HL65 · 25 May 2018, 07:58 AM

Only when new as the bracelets tend to squeak a bit.

My 16613lb Bluesy just ran away yelping...wow!

Lord Thunderin' Jesus I'm gobsmacked, what a gorgeous watch!

antbkny · 25 May 2018, 08:06 AM

I tend to spot most models from afar so they are all loud to me. But if I had to pick one to be the loudest look at me watch it would be the two tone ceramics.

GodZji · 25 May 2018, 08:08 AM

They are not loud in SS.

gonzo305 · 25 May 2018, 08:08 AM

In Miami you see so many rolexes its the norm. so many people have the bluesy, I don't think its loud

jb335 · 25 May 2018, 08:10 AM

Not at all. Anyone that thinks a SS Sub is loud, just has a complex about wearing a Rolex.

Thanks,

Yes, someone should write a book The Psychology of Rolex!

Flyinghunter · 25 May 2018, 08:25 AM

Mother-in -law = loud.

Sub, not so much.

"Loud" and "recognizable" are very different concepts. Just because a watch draws attention doesn't mean it's loud.

nikesupremedunk · 25 May 2018, 08:35 AM

I'd say 6 digit subs can be pretty flashy even in SS. The ceramic bezel and the brushed bracelet shines very well when the light hits it right. It still has a strong wrist presence.

However, definitely no where as "loud" as say, the YM2.

GradyPhilpott · 25 May 2018, 08:36 AM

I don't consider my 14060M or any five-digit Sub to be "loud," which is not to say that I think the Sub is appropriate for all occasions.

The ceramic Subs and GMTs, while not really loud, are, shall we say, quite dazzling.

My 114270, to me, is the perfectly discreet Rolex.

What other type of loud could there be , a subwoofer attached to your sub :)

It is loud based on what non wis are wearing

I am overseas now and have both a Rolex and non Rolex with me,I am wearing either based on circumstances and safety

enjoythemusic · 25 May 2018, 08:41 AM

Within reason of the event / situation, wear what i want. Could be blinged DD40, or a Sub ND, or SS SkyD blue, or the.... The Sub is not loud, never heard anyone say it was.

Pw92676 · 25 May 2018, 08:41 AM

In my opinion, absolutely not.
