I've owned three different ceramic Submariners over the years (and some GMTs), but I've recently had the itch to give a 5-digit Sub a try. We all know how it goes: an idea turns into research, research turns into want, want turns into the hunt, and the hunt eventually leads to an incoming

Now that it's here I can actually say I like it way more than I thought I would. The case shape and lack of bling compared to my ceramic models (BLNR and LVc) is a nice change of pace. I can see how some people even prefer it over the current line-up. I think I've found my new daily

Nice one. I think the 5 digits are great and went through the same thing you have. Now a 16710 is my daily and I wouldn’t change it for a thing.

Enjoy. It looks great.

strafer_kid · 5 November 2019, 05:56 AM

Very nice - hard to beat the five digit!

Bizcut1 · 5 November 2019, 05:57 AM

16610 and 116610. Have them both. Love them both.

Congratulations!!!

Tangier11 · 5 November 2019, 05:57 AM

Love the lug size

j-watch · 5 November 2019, 05:58 AM

Looks new! Nice pick up!

stevedssd · 5 November 2019, 05:58 AM

Congratulations.........I also prefer the four and five digit models

1SG MTB · 5 November 2019, 06:00 AM

Awesome watch! I have a 5 digit GMT II Coke and I would give up all of my 6 digits before I gave the 5 digit up!

TCU34 · 5 November 2019, 06:20 AM

Love my 5 digit sub! I think I follow you on IG...

Onequik135i · 5 November 2019, 06:22 AM

Beautiful Sub & great photo too. I myself started with a 6 digit sub but eventually sold it to transition to the 5 digit models. Can’t beat the earlier models.

SearChart · 5 November 2019, 07:22 AM

Very nice! Congratulations

zetaplus93 · 5 November 2019, 07:40 AM

Congrats! Went through a similar path, moving from a 116710 to a 16570. Love how much thinner and smaller the 5-digits are.

Finslayer83 · 5 November 2019, 07:42 AM

5 digit fan here.

nice incoming!

marcellomatt5 · 5 November 2019, 07:46 AM

IMO the best ref! Great watch, congrats!

Nice pics!

JParm · 5 November 2019, 08:16 AM

Nice photos; congrats on the pickup!

NachoNeal · 5 November 2019, 08:25 AM

I agree with you. I recently thought about upgrading my 14060 to a more modern version.
So I tried wearing them back to back for about a week and eventually decided against the "upgrade".

bezler · 5 November 2019, 08:27 AM

Beautiful picture, excellent watch, perfect fit for your wrist. The 5 digit subs are just so nicely proportioned ...

Congratulations! I agree with your assessment of how the hunt begins. Great acquisition. Enjoy it in great health.

othertbone · 5 November 2019, 08:57 AM

Yep the hunt is half the fun... ok maybe 2/3's the fun lol

Brian Page · 5 November 2019, 09:00 AM

I'd never give up my 5 digit sub

From a one watch 14060M guy, your watch looks great!

You wear it well and the photos are fantastic!

Deityjazz · 5 November 2019, 09:37 AM

Congrats. Great lug size

mailman · 5 November 2019, 10:02 AM

One of if not the most bulletproof, best all around, go anywhere, do anything watches made. I prefer it over its 6 digit counterpart. Congratulations and enjoy

rmlovett1 · 5 November 2019, 10:08 AM

That looks fantastic! Congratulations!
