If anyone is considering a sub, I’d recommend the green dial hulk version. Admittedly one can’t go wrong with the traditional black dial either, or the bluesy. My one concern is my bracelet is rather scuffed, and was not be me. I bought pre owned. That said, I can always get a new bracelet later in life. The bezel and crystal are pristine.
Does anyone care to comment about buying a new bracelet from an AD. Beyond pricing .. does a new bracelet diminish the value of a modern Rolex? I can’t fathom it would lower the value. Would anyone even know if bracelets are replaced, much less care? I’m speaking of an AD doing the replacing. Would this be part of the watch’s history in records?

My opinion is it’s all part of the history of the watch. I was lucky enough to find a GMT from Syria with original stickers still on but the scratches and dents are all there from previous owner I appreciated the history of the watch and that it travelled all the way from the other side of the world into my hands for an amazing price. (Pretty much retail)
Wear it till the links break than think about changing the bracelet.
