Recently decided to part ways with my stainless subC no date. I traded it in for a solid gold subC...thanks David and Rolexforums for once again a smooth transaction...my new daily is my Panerai Pam 48 I keep on rubber. Family photo below shows my brothers day date 36mm- my uncles Daytona and my fathers subC date.

ah that is why i got confused. missed that line.

how do you like it comparatively price notwithstanding?

That YG LB is one bad a$$ watch! I just added this one as well. I no longer have any SS Rolexes. IMHO PM Rolexes have great value and if you buy right you will lose little to no money. I prefer the weight of PM. Except, my Platona is a freaking brick!

i agree that they are very good value if you buy right. i am contemplating the jump.

Couldn’t agree more. I actually bought my SubC no date right before the watch market took a jump so I made about $1,000 from the sale and that’s on trade. My brother had an older gold submariner and he basically wore it for free for a year when he decided to get the day date. I consider these watches cash on the wrist! It’ll always be accessible if needed.

Good collection. The Pam works nice with it as well.

watchwatcher · 4 August 2018, 11:55 PM

Love the LB...one of the best, IMO.

AK797 · 5 August 2018, 12:46 AM

Many congrats, it feels like double the weight or more when in fact its just 50% heavier.

Fat_ninja · 5 August 2018, 12:56 AM

Gold definitley feels much more different. In a good way.

joli160 · 5 August 2018, 01:08 AM

Very nice, huge congrats

T01 · 5 August 2018, 01:17 AM

Congrats! This one is on my list!

Bxtek · 5 August 2018, 01:33 AM

Nice to see that great taste runs in the family!

Nice reunion of family Rolexes.

A big congrats on your new LB. Absolutely stunning watch! A YG Sub with a blue dial has been my grail for many years. Beautiful!!

NoVaSubowner · 5 August 2018, 07:14 AM

Beautiful. I recently picked up a tt DJ 41 on the Oyster. I wish I hadn't because its a gateway to solid 18k.....

Golf&Watches · 5 August 2018, 07:19 AM

Jim Smyth · 5 August 2018, 07:40 AM

I think the regular sub is around 148g and the solid gold one is 219g. Would be even heavier if Rolex didnt hollow the head out.

Frank McKay · 5 August 2018, 07:55 AM

Love the gold Sub with Blue dial, such an in your face watch

Rose Gold · 5 August 2018, 11:29 AM

My very first Rolex was pm and when I purchased my BLNR, I remember thinking how light it was.

Onikage · 5 August 2018, 11:58 AM

Gold back to Stainless with its seemingly gravity defying lightness is even weirder.

I'm interested in a PM piece, can you explain what you mean by buy right?

Jim Smyth · 5 August 2018, 09:52 PM

Buying from a Grey dealer and getting a slightly used one where someone else took the initial hit. I picked mine up at 65% of retail. Its now worth a little over what I paid a year later.
