I'm in agreement with JJ also, not just cause I have the subdate. Even though the new ceramic sub looks nice, I just couldn't get used to the bulkiness of it.

never know i guess
YIKES!! That price of $8995 is not only utterly ridiculous, it's daylight robbery!!

I can't see even the dumbest person in the world forking out that kind of money merely for a new date stamp.

URGENT ALERT... SS Sub Date models tanking in value...NO bottom in sight, this will be worse than the real estate market in California... The article went on to say there was an apparent over valuation on the current sub based on the resommendation of a unknown JJ who apparently sercretly works for Rolex, hangs out on watch forums and HACKS EVERYONES THREADS

Just found this notice... Thought you may find interesting:lol :

I might actually try to use this news to try to sell my subdate. Thinking of getting back to the roots, and going to a datejust.
