Found these on the very friendly Rolex forum ( the one were we found shelter during the attack )
The OP tried it on at the the Paris presentation last week . ( I had an invite mailed to me at my old french address from Dubail on Place Vendome in Paris

Cru Jones · 11 May 2010, 06:53 PM

Very nice! Maybe it's the angle of the picture, but, with the supercase and maxidial it doesn't look that much smaller than the DSSD (thinner, though, obviously).

I'll try to get pix next week at the Paris show I was invited to.

andrew79 · 11 May 2010, 06:57 PM

how come it doesn't look like ceramic bezel? the shine is different between DSSD and the sub.

walds11 · 11 May 2010, 07:32 PM

There is another pic with a GMT II-C in it as well. That is the real comparison shot in my opinion. The new Sub-C looks like a beast compared to the GMT II-C. Not for mw. I'll be sticking with my classic Sub no doubt.

You are right , let's add those as well .

Psmith · 11 May 2010, 07:41 PM

Looks great - even more 'supercased' than the GMT. I still think the GMT is prettier though

Cheers

Cru Jones · 11 May 2010, 07:45 PM

Thanks for the extra pix! My first reaction is that the new Sub is going to take a LOT of sales from the GMT IIc (except for those that really want the 4th hand). The bezel is cleaner, with a nicer font, and the maxidial, while big, is not so exagerrated like on the GMT IIc.

Very much looking forward to seeing this in the flesh soon!

spuds · 11 May 2010, 07:49 PM

truetime · 11 May 2010, 09:08 PM

Hey Tristan! Muchas gracias por las fotos!

If you guys have any other foto, please post it so we all can see them

Cheers

Puffy · 11 May 2010, 09:43 PM

Thanks for that dude!

The DSSD looks enormous!!!

The GMT looks good, I'm really taking a liking to it...

Psmith · 11 May 2010, 10:06 PM

The pics are taken at an angle, which has skewed the relative size & proportions of the watches. Would be nice to see a straight-on shot and also the profiles of all three.

Great to see some 'live' shots of the Sub C and its stablemates though - thanks Tristan

Cheers

dkpw · 11 May 2010, 10:22 PM

Thanks for the pics. They're confirmation to my eyes, that the Maxi-case regardless of the model, is not really for me.

Carlos98326194 · 11 May 2010, 10:36 PM

SDDS · 11 May 2010, 10:48 PM

thanx for sharing

hennabav · 11 May 2010, 11:13 PM

Thanks very much for those shots!! All of them look nice...but I still love the GMT IIC...have to see the new sub in person to really decide.

dardeca · 11 May 2010, 11:19 PM

Outstanding pics...thanks for sharing!!

Patrick Lim · 11 May 2010, 11:23 PM

I need to tell my boss about a pay raise soon...
The addiction to grab new rolex releases is certainly expensive!

While the ceramic bezel on the new sub is not so clear due to the angle the photo was taken, I think the GMT IIc bezel looks the most impressive among the three.

Speed · 11 May 2010, 11:31 PM

The Sub bezel looks more...muted? Vs. the GMTllC - not in this photo but in others I have seen.

Agreed...."Muted" is a good word for it....Less glossy, less in-your-face. Based on these photos, I prefer the Sub's finishing (if the pictures are accurate).

CoopJr · 11 May 2010, 11:33 PM

Very nice! Cant wait to hold one

Thanks for the pics Tristan!

vtsnowplow · 11 May 2010, 11:47 PM

I like it!

Traveler · 12 May 2010, 12:23 AM

I like the new Submariner..but that bracelet sure looks thin when paired with the maxi case.

16610v · 12 May 2010, 12:33 AM

Thanks man!
looks great!!!

I can smell the flyhigh price of the new sub. at the beginning of the sell...

kcmo · 12 May 2010, 12:37 AM

Looking forward to seeing it in person!

sea-dweller · 12 May 2010, 12:45 AM

Nice collection !

andrew79 · 12 May 2010, 01:29 AM

ah... the second pic with the gmt iic was much better than the first pic... sub c is amazing.... nevertheless, gmt still has my vote...

1000ftSub · 12 May 2010, 01:30 AM

Cool collection you have!
