These two Sub basically ruined all the other watches for me ...

I will be thinking about the them when I wear other watches.

I would stop myself from getting other watches because wearing new watch would less wrist time for the Sub.

I am even considering selling a few of my old favourites because they are on the side line with not much action.

My conclusion here is that don't buy 116610 or 14060M, they would ruin all the other watches for you.

A very nice couple of watches you have there.

azguy · 1 May 2012, 05:01 AM

Two classics, enjoy

theironchef106 · 1 May 2012, 05:22 AM

You're not the only one with that problem. Trust me

gargamel647 · 1 May 2012, 05:27 AM

This is a good problem to have. It sounds like those are the only two you need.

SeaDweller50 · 1 May 2012, 05:35 AM

I have the first one on the way to me. Pick up Wed. Can't wait.

tgoose1 · 1 May 2012, 05:39 AM

A Rolex Submariner is in many ways like a Porsche, "there is no substitute".

WyoWatch · 1 May 2012, 05:51 AM

Did the exact same thing to me... and it doesn't seem to have gotten any better in almost 2 years of ownership. My other watches just don't really get worn and when I do manage to wear something else, something always nags at me and says "Gee I wish I'd worn my Sub instead..".

TSW · 1 May 2012, 06:38 AM

I know the feeling!

Trouble15 · 1 May 2012, 06:43 AM

Two great pieces!

FNFZ4 · 1 May 2012, 06:47 AM

The sub is a very nice watch.

GradyPhilpott · 1 May 2012, 06:51 AM

I know what you mean, but I've been through these phases before.

One thing's for sure, Rolex will spoil you, period.

Sbuckaroo · 1 May 2012, 06:57 AM

What about GMT IIc? I the two would compare. Would you consider it in the same league? what are the pros and cons of each (other than the personal taste, of course)? Thanks.

dddrees · 1 May 2012, 06:57 AM

The Sub is definitely a classic for sure.

TattooedGQ · 1 May 2012, 06:59 AM

Just wait until the No-Date SubC comes out.......

brian8121 · 1 May 2012, 06:59 AM

When it comes to Rolex watches, I always come back to the divers (Sub and SD). I love my Zenith Daytona and my Milgauss but something about the simplicity and subtlety of a Rolex diver wins me over most of the time.

FremStar · 1 May 2012, 07:00 AM

Awesome stockae92! So it looks like WISATRIN does work afterall! Great news that you are cured!

marcst1973 · 1 May 2012, 07:09 AM

Can't wait until I have that problem, Sub Date is next on my wish list.

I'll just say this: for 6 months I owned a GMT-IIc. I now own a SubC instead.

Pros and cons other than personal taste? They're both incredible watches, so besides the 24hr-hand, I think it all comes down to personal taste.

mvmbles · 2 May 2012, 12:55 AM

The Gildelock clasp on the Sub C's has spoiled me and makes me wish every other Rolex bracelet (save for Super Jubilee and President) came equipped with them.

Thanks for the feedback Dan. This makes sense, although it makes it more difficult to choose between the two great watches!!

I *think* the GMT IIc has a flatter caseback and it may be more comfortable for some wrist.

Ravager135 · 2 May 2012, 03:02 PM

I cannot agree more.

MoBe · 2 May 2012, 05:57 PM

My Submariner hasn`t come off my wrist since I got it.

I did look at a SeaDweller at a pawn shop the other day but they were asking way too much for it and that has been the only challenge to the Sub so far.

fjs9091 · 2 May 2012, 06:27 PM

amazing watches.. life time friends.. i dreamt about the sub for 27 years and the i got the.. DSSD instead.. well, i guess ill get a sub next time :-) eitherway you will be happy

errol0_7 · 2 May 2012, 07:14 PM

Looking forward to mine turning up so I can have the same problem
