What a nice submariner. If I had the extra cash, I would pick one up.

It's heavy, well built, good looking. A one of a kind Submariner - I haven't seen one on anyone else's wrists.

HEAVY.... feels solid.

Have you guys seen on at your ADs? Is this a rather rare piece?

Psmith · 28 October 2009, 09:54 PM

All of the Melbourne ADs (3) have them... or at least did a few months ago. I tried it myself, along with a full YG GMT IIc. Both impressively hefty, but I'm a stainless steel sort of chap...

Cheers

My AD had one and I had it on. I had to take it off quickly for risk of depleteing my savings account right on the spot. Very impressive watch.

forza1976 · 28 October 2009, 10:27 PM

Yeah what an awesome watch. I love that blue dial and bezel, I have to agree that it felt great on the wrist!

Lol-x · 28 October 2009, 10:33 PM

So how do you guys like that blue dial?

deserted · 28 October 2009, 10:40 PM

The smurf blue in person is very nice looking , posting pictures on line does it no justice , it's a must see watch , my AD here in illinois has three of them 2 creamic black and gold and the smurf blue..

PeterT · 28 October 2009, 10:43 PM

If the watch is on its own, the blue dial and bezel are OK. On the other hand if it is side by side with a blue 16613, I feel the colour is lacking on the new model. It lack the richness of the older model and the dial does not shimmer as you turn it in the light.

On the other hand, if someone was giving one away I would not say no thanks!!

I agree that the new blue sub color looks different (and better) in person than in pictures, it just seems to be a color where pictures and real life are two different things.

kcmo · 29 October 2009, 12:47 AM

My husband loves the WG blue Sub! I've never really been a blue dial kinda gal but it is quite an impressive piece!

sandytn · 29 October 2009, 12:52 AM

My local AD had one. I tried it on. Feels like a very substantial watch and looks great, but pricey. Wish I had the extra cash. Would upgrade from my TT 16613 to WG blue sub in a minute.

i agree. you notice it right away and know it's WG.

dalip · 29 October 2009, 12:56 AM

it is one hell of a gorgeous watch.... but not top of my list for that cash..

ersnyder · 29 October 2009, 12:58 AM

I tried one on before knowing that a WG Sub had come out but noticed that it appeared different from other Subs in the window. I personally love the new blue but it is certainly different from prior blues used by Rolex. I guess the ceramic is the reason. Felt great though!

Joey_V · 29 October 2009, 04:36 AM

Like everyone said, I would take it in a heartbeat!!

BUT and it's a BIG but.... the price at $29,000 is bit much for me.

Too rich fo' my blood!

Jason71 · 29 October 2009, 07:02 AM

I have been offered one for $23,800.........but that is still A HECKOVALOTTA money. I do love that watch though

scl6118 · 10 November 2009, 12:47 PM

I love that watch, but will wait for SS!

Everybodys gotta love that blue

Singslinger · 10 November 2009, 01:10 PM

I've seen it in most ADs in Singapore so it isn't rare by any means.

That said, I haven't seen it on anyone's wrist - yet!

bodybump · 10 November 2009, 01:14 PM

Itsss a ohhhhlllaaaallaaaaa watch!!!

Max · 10 November 2009, 01:31 PM

Definitely a nice watch, but for that price I'd go with an Audemars.

deserted · 10 November 2009, 02:47 PM

My Ad just recieved one, got a call saturday!

Juggernaut · 10 November 2009, 02:50 PM

what serial letter was it?

BlkDTN · 10 November 2009, 05:43 PM

Not worth the money. I'd like to pick a DDII instead

33JS · 10 November 2009, 08:29 PM

The blue is just 'wrong', it should have been the older, deeper blue that exuded true class rather than just bright 'bling'.

I worry about some of the models being designed for wannabee rappers, there's just something going wrong with some designs. Rolex have some classic, classic designs and some of the upgrades are wonderful, but the Leopard, YM II and the blue of this sub are just gonna look terrible in years to come - hell, they look terrible now.

Perhaps I'm stuck in a time-warp and just don't understand the new designs.
