The Official Yellow Gold Submariner Date Owner's Thread
After completing a search on the Forum, it would appear a thread for this reference has never been created. Taking into account there is an "Owner's Club" thread for nearly, if not all other versions (new and old) of the Submariner, one should be created where all yellow gold Submariners can be showcased.

Don't have mine yet, but that will change in the next couple of months for those who have followed my posts.

So to owners past and present of the 116618 LB/LN, 16618 LB/LN and 16608, let's see them!

Gents, awesome shots of your Blue YG Subs. I can only admire on how beautiful this timepiece or particular reference is.

Welcome to the club my friend. I was wondering when you would show up here. You've had this beauty for a while now.

Thanks Dave. Fantastic shot. Sunshine and the sunburst dial are a match made in heaven. Don't know if this one picture will tide me over, but hopefully the pictures that will be contributed to this thread will!

Tom and co. (you know who you guys are!) probably cashed in their Rolex enabling cheques quite some time ago!
