Love the new. Shiny and interesting.

rolexafficionado · 25 October 2012, 02:56 AM

Have the old one and tried the new new one quite a few times..I have a GMT 2c and did not like it when i first purchased it. but after a few times it does grow on you and I think the same will happen with the new Sub-C..the only thing I probably can't seem to get over is the sudden taper between the case and the bracelet..

I like the older style case since it fits me better!

superdog · 25 October 2012, 03:37 AM

Exactly! I have both and love them both equally, so they don't get jealous!

gwalker · 25 October 2012, 07:10 AM

I'm very much a fan of the new Sub. I like the maxi dial, maxi case, bracelet and glidelock, ceramic bezel. I've always liked new things and this is no exception. I know some like the older version more but I'm not one of them.

bah humbug....old subs rule...............

jimbones43 · 25 October 2012, 08:00 AM

Love both
Had both
Have SubC now

Robbie68 · 25 October 2012, 08:56 AM

16800, matte dial, best of old and new in my opinion.

Old sub, I like older better.

Own old, and prefer old. But I wouldn't nessisarily call it better, just my pref.

wdb2 · 25 October 2012, 09:45 AM

New. Far superior watch.

RRGHOST1 · 25 October 2012, 10:11 AM

Have a TT Blue SubC and have had the old,prefer new but there is nothing wrong with the old one.

FrankNYC · 25 October 2012, 11:42 AM

New. Take a look at both old (16610) and new (116610) at different angles from 10-20 feet away. Very little glare from the SubC, and very nice looking from far away.
Anyone else noticed this?

mvmbles · 25 October 2012, 12:12 PM

I love both!

I love them both! Vintage Subs are the benchmarks for dive watch design. And to my eyes they just radiate a warmth that is unequaled. The new Subs simply ooze quality and they take the original design into the 21st century.

Hairdude1 · 25 October 2012, 02:52 PM

I love the new subc!

Bangel · 25 October 2012, 04:11 PM

I love everything about the sub c over the 16610 except the wide lugs.

This one issue is enough to make it a close call for me, but my vote goes to the sub c.

ronbo710 · 25 October 2012, 04:30 PM

You can't beat those two. Vintage all the way!!!

Steelgold · 26 October 2012, 11:34 AM

I know the material the bezel is made of is different, but what else is different between the 16610 and 116610? I ask because I found an AD with a New 16610 and am trying to decide between that and the 116610.

springer · 26 October 2012, 11:47 AM

I prefer the previous model Subs!

raystinger · 26 October 2012, 12:28 PM

I had both and eventually sold the ceramic version because i can get used to the thick lug and crown guard.

Rags · 26 October 2012, 12:35 PM

I love my 16610 but I would prefer the glidelock bracelet. I wonder if rolex will offer it in time for a replacement for the 16610.
