gold sub rolex? 116618 or 16618? black or blue? I've been thinking about getting a gold sub for a long time. I got the 116610 instead now I realized I should have gotten the gold sub. Is the 116618 worth the extra money? Kinda leaning towards the 16618 because I'm not crazy about how easily the crystal fingerprints but on the other hand I like the micro adjustments of the new style clasp. Wish I could add a poll for style and color.

When 16618's were in the $15k area I'd would have said get the 16618 for the huge savings. They've now crept up a lot and may as well pay up for the 116618/9, IMO.
Oh, and, blue dial...

116618...Black! Blue just doesn't do anything for me. Get the Ceramic the bracelet is WAY better and watch will feel more solid.

with prices as they are , id go older ,, but as they both have the same crystal , the marks will show the same , although the new ym is looking good

Keith1 · 18 July 2015, 02:24 AM

Go with the 116618 with the blue dial. The ceramic bezel, solid bracelet, new clasp. and all the other upgrades are really worth it!

Flex368 · 18 July 2015, 02:54 AM

116618 blue.

trackntrail · 18 July 2015, 03:00 AM

Definitely Blue. The blue/gold combo is

AK797 · 18 July 2015, 03:11 AM

I went for the new blue, perfect summer and sunshine watch. The black dial looks better indoors.

locutus49 · 18 July 2015, 03:18 AM

Blue is most desirable. AND IT REALLY SINGS.

116618 blue!

Eric Chan · 18 July 2015, 08:42 AM

116618 LB (blue dial). Amazing sunburst dial along with the upgrades to the bracelet and the Glidelock clasp would seal the deal for me.

16618 late serial blue dial. I unfortunately just sold one but its an AWESOME watch. Don't like the new chunky case compared to the old one. Can still get them in the 17-19 range. Good luck.

Make sure you get it someday, it´s really an awesome piece.

luvsub · 18 July 2015, 04:24 PM

I would choose blue sub. If money is not a big fact, get the new one.

alexander34 · 18 July 2015, 05:47 PM

Why not the GMT? More function and PCL is the same? And you get the Black ceramic with the green dial option... Still cant stop smiling when i put mine on ;-)
