I was thinking more from a demand side this is a tougher sell now. Don't think Rolex have any plans to disco this for a SS Sub, esp in this already over buoyant market.

Congrats! If I ever end up with a second PM Rolex it will likely be the smurf. Great piece!

Fast forward to the drive home, where she states: "I always liked that one, you should call (our AD)."



as I get home, I called, placed the deposit, going to pick up when I arrive in town in 2 weeks.





Damn these things are addictive.


You are sooo right!

I think there is some precedent though in keeping the blue WG exclusive (for white metals), while Pepsi in SS

Yup, as I later clarified my meaning was demand side not supply side. Only thing is they may make a sunburst blue WG sub one day.

I agree with you on demand. Though I'd much rather see the LN YG go if they have to drop one. The YG LB is too good and Smurf just unique. Guess I better get one soon
