Well JJ, as much as I like some (not all) the features on the new SS Sub-C, it is not on my list. I do respect everyone's opinions and tastes, but my plans for 2010 had been laid out since last year. Oddly enough, you never know when surprises show up. The SS Dayt was in my plans, as well as some other purchases (secret until I get them later this year) but then that Tudor showed up....well, you know how it goes.

One thing I know for sure is that JJ will be flippin' AGAIN in 2010!

Yes, you could be right. The guys who are craving for the new SS Sub, would want to get rid of the SIMILAR looking GMT-IIC...........unless, of course, you own the TT version.......like me!!

TheBluePrince · 21 March 2010, 05:45 AM

No intention or inclination to get one. Ever.

Gerardus · 21 March 2010, 05:45 AM

I do not know yet, first i want to feel the new model.Then a sell my V-serie (i think) to buy the new model>
Or ... i keep it this two, i am happy with the two i own.

Gerardus · 21 March 2010, 05:50 AM

I think I'll wait to see it person and the how much it'll set me back...
I do however like it and it maybe the one to buy soon for me....I won't however sell anything to get it!!
I really was hoping to see something in the Daytona for changes,as that's my next I think!!

Matt_24 · 21 March 2010, 06:28 AM

I've been throwing some "fun" money aside since about November of last year for my "first" Rolex purchase. I'm pretty disciplined with money, so I don't want a watch purchase to affect my other investment plans, etc.. so I just throw a $50 here...a $20 there...into a nice little envelope. When it gets large enough I'll buy my first Rolex, which I've decided has to be brand-spanking-new. I just don't want to go into my savings to buy one, nor deny myself the other things that I like to splurge on in order to buy a Rolex faster, either. This way is more fun. I'm about 1/7 of the way there. :) I think I'll have enough before the end of the year. Maybe a nice Christmas present for myself.

ersnyder · 21 March 2010, 06:38 AM

Nice provocative post JJ. Of course, no decision could be made until a "live" try-on. But if I was dying for it after trying it, I'd have to just save until I had the cash to fork over.

Mockingbird · 21 March 2010, 06:43 AM

I'm not really into the ceramic bezels, but right now I've got my eyes on a white dial Exp II!

ersnyder · 21 March 2010, 06:45 AM

They are one sweet watch Charlie and I'm sure JJ would agree!

JJ, I already have the D serial 16610. So it will be a hard decision

The one issue I have in justifying the purchase, is that I already own a GMT II which is quite similar. The Exp II visually appeals to me more, but I'm also a bezel fiddler, and no rotational bezel on the Exp II.

Lol-x · 21 March 2010, 06:58 AM

JJ you could always give away a watch to someone else (not me). That might be a wonderful and appropriate jesture from you.

After all you have received several of your watches as gifts haven't you?

rfknauss · 21 March 2010, 07:02 AM

JJ, although I agree the new SS Sub-date is a beautiful watch, I am content right now with my LV Sub and my 5513 Sub and have no plans to purchase the new Sub. If I were going to make a new Rolex purchase, I would consider getting a DeepSea.

glendon21 · 21 March 2010, 07:05 AM

Yes and only after all of you guys have one, then I will be waiting for a good deal in the classifieds section "FS: LNIB 116610LN 30% off MSRP".

Numismatist · 21 March 2010, 07:10 AM

This summer's trip to St. Thomas will cause me to have to either get the new sub if it's out by then, or I'd still really like to get a hold of a new Seadweller (now out of manufacture). Toss up. Would love to see the new greenie, but can't think I'd really get that one.

Ummmmmmmmm ....................... Almost perfect.

I do wish we'd have gotten a "Maxi-dial 14060M w/o a ceramic bezel. The 14060M is my tool watch and I'd destroy a ceramic bezel in a heart beat working around shipping containers as I do 10-12 hrs a day.

Rolex claims that their ceramic bezel is virtually "indestructible" (extremely scratch resistant)... We will have to test one of those on your job. :)

MikeyTX · 21 March 2010, 07:41 AM

I for one don't want to be the test bunny. I can just imagine the look if I walked into the RSC in Dallas with a trashed, just released ceramic, and told them I wanted warranty on the bezel because it kissed a shipping container at the Houston port of entry.

MikeJaye · 21 March 2010, 07:48 AM

I def plan on getting the new LV when it hits the shops...hopefully I'm first on the list at a few AD's. My only dilema is do I sell the GMTIIC or the LV to get it...it'll be make way kermit for the HULK!!!

kcmo · 21 March 2010, 08:14 AM

I love the new Sub and really look forward to seeing it in person! But I don't really have any plans to buy another anytime soon.

SLS · 21 March 2010, 08:27 AM

I'll patiently wait for the fanfare to subside and pick one up cheap from a GMD.

JJ--The WG might look steel but it sure doesn't feel steel! I love that watch--my grail watch for sure!

It's a beauty for sure, I just have others on my radar before another SS Sub.

first will be 116613 LN
second will be 116509 BK

Johny · 21 March 2010, 08:35 AM

HI JJ a maxi dial on my 16610 would do for me. think they would put one in for me.

ess45 · 21 March 2010, 08:53 AM

The width of the case at the lug area is not proportional to the width of the bracelet. It would have been perfect, had they increased the width of the bracelet to 23mm. So no new Sub for me.
And it is the same reason (plus the large numbers on the bezel) the GMT IIc has not grown on me.

touareg · 21 March 2010, 09:18 AM

Shall tell you ; As I have missed out on the ''old'' submariner, I have to have the new model. First of all I think it is a lot more value and quality for money (bracelet, clasp, steel, etc) and, in my humble opinion it looks a lot better with the ceramic bezel. However, even if I like to watch a lot (and I mean must have) I stick to my targets and will wait until market is flooded to get it for a fair price. Just because its new, I am not willing to pay a premium. To swiss for that :) Greetings from Geneva
