Never seen a purple sub, it's all factory Rolex?

coralfarmer84 · 16 February 2014, 05:17 AM

that thing looks terrible. The dial has all sorts of nastiness going on around the lumes (unless thats some sort of reflection). Plus why in the world would someone want a "Barney" Sub

Cc1966 · 16 February 2014, 05:18 AM

Tropical gone Carmen Miranda? I just don't know about this one....

Not my taste. As far as Subs go i am traditional.

toph · 16 February 2014, 08:17 AM

No cyclops either.
I reckon mostly original but a dreadful looking piece IMHO

I like your 114060 much, much better.

I have seen a few of those where the dials were pristine and they are beautiful

Holybajayuz that's ugly

dysondiver · 16 February 2014, 08:55 AM

garymyman · 17 February 2014, 02:21 AM

The color doesn't float my but but I love nipple dials...

Wesley Crusher · 17 February 2014, 05:09 AM

Yuck. No thanks.

CrownMe · 17 February 2014, 05:18 AM

Sweet nipples

omitohud · 17 February 2014, 06:29 AM

I like the color, it reminds me of tropical blue/purple dial of a 1680/8. Please educate me, is that the look of the newer bezel design? It doesn't look like the bezel on my 1680/8.

Throttle · 30 July 2017, 05:36 AM

Lovely.
Superb.

Mirx · 30 July 2017, 06:16 AM

I bet that purple Sub looks much nicer in person. I'd love to see it.

SamP · 30 July 2017, 06:32 AM

My avatar shows a tropical purple dial 1680/8.
Oh and who doesn't like nipples?
Regards

SamP · 30 July 2017, 06:33 AM

This shot is obviously sans crystal and bezel.

Mystro · 30 July 2017, 06:34 AM

The only original purplish Sub I know is a classic Bluesy that has a slight purple hue.

I have seen some pristine perfect purple gold Subs that are amazing but of course price reflects that. I have also had the coolest caramel dialed gold Sub a few years ago also price sky high! So yes they are original Rolex and had color change dials that changed over time.

brmeyers · 30 July 2017, 07:06 AM

I would like to see in person to get a better sense of the look...
There seems a fair amount of glare on the first photo.

MRCT · 30 July 2017, 07:07 AM

Nice Pimpmariner.

sager · 30 July 2017, 07:08 AM

won't judge until I see one in person. If I ever do that is.

The Libertine · 30 July 2017, 07:17 AM

Pass for me.

WEST HAM ROLEX · 30 July 2017, 10:28 AM

No, not even if its worth a lot of money - not for me
The normal Sub No-Date has class

This watch just makes me think,,,

Trigger - 'new watch Del'
Del - 'no I have bought it for Rodney'
