Green sub

Picked it up 2 days ago. (Apologies for the pic!)

I'm curious as to how many posters own one as I have never seen anyone wearing one in person.

Latest model.

Tried posting pic in jpeg/ pdf but file's too large, Will post as soon as I work it out.

The black sub is the most popular rolex I see but I've never seen anyone wearing a green sub. Just wondered why owners aren't wearing them as everyday watches.

i used to wear my 16610LV everyday for quite a long time.... now its the 116610LV... since the last couple of days

i have a feeling that neither of the green Sub are the "only watch" material though

I too have a ceramic lv. My absolute favourite watch - puts all others to shame in my view. I bought a SS Daytona which I found to be a big disappointment next to the LV
I know they're apples and pears, but I'm just so much happier with the LV both in terms of it's design and as an every day wear
Good choice!

It's the first time I see new green Sub - looks very nice. I like the dial color much better than the refreshed blue Sub ( I have the previous Navy Blue Sub). How much does the green sub cost?

Hello there. I am new around here so I thought I started with my 5 days old LV, as colorful as it gets! I think the classic green is subtle, not in your face so it can be an every day watch IMHO. I know it will be for me (replacing a 10 year old black Explorer II, which I kept but can't see myself wearing for now).
