Wells guys and girls I tried, a few days ago I posted a thread saying I just purchased a pre-loved speedie as a everyday watch because funds are tight.

While this still being true I just couldn't handle not having a sub on my wrist, I am ruined forever. I tried on a preowned yachtmaster and some DJ's but the submariner has stolen my wrist forever.

I visited one of the local stores that sells pre-loved Rolexes and what can I say

I bought a M5xxxxx Sunmariner with aftermarket silver dial, they had the factory dial as well. I never thought I would like a aftermarket dial but dam it looks good

When I need a change I will go back to OEM dial

How you enjoyed your stay!

Nice, Congrats.

MonBK · 1 July 2011, 06:00 AM

Aftermarket or not, that's a great looking dial.

Dan2010 · 1 July 2011, 06:00 AM

I completely understand. It's either a GMTII or a Sub that will be on my wrist for as long as I can see. I have ZERO desire to wear anything else.

Enjoy.

It looks good.

757doc001 · 1 July 2011, 06:06 AM

Not that I know.

WylanB · 1 July 2011, 06:10 AM

Nice pick up! Love that dial. Looks great on the stainless sub. If you get tired of it you can always switch back to original. But for now I'd rock that custom dial!

cayenne · 1 July 2011, 06:15 AM

What store did you visit? I am in VA as well and don't know many pre-owned shops

No. The rest is just fluff and there to cause confusion.

nauticajoe · 1 July 2011, 06:18 AM

Looks good.

HPY · 1 July 2011, 06:25 AM

looks good, but i prefer the original dial

SPARTAN2161 · 1 July 2011, 06:58 AM

I like the look of that. Nice!!!

Buck I · 1 July 2011, 07:19 AM

Looks good, congrats on the return of a Sub for you!!

smallcandle · 1 July 2011, 08:03 AM

The Submariner is quite possibly the perfect watch! Congrats on the pickup!

Eric88 · 1 July 2011, 08:22 AM

Whoa, dude! You've been through about 4-5 different watches these past few months (Sub-C, 14060, 16800, Speedy, others?) stating money's tight! If time is money, stick with one watch rather than changing your mind every few days!!!

I've done the same thing myself!

Congrats and glad you've found one that speaks to you! How long are you gonna keep it?

texex91 · 1 July 2011, 08:31 AM

Nice one I have not seen before.

Well i think for a while...I hope at least...my wife is over it..

docmarioce · 1 July 2011, 08:43 AM

I like so much that I want one of those for me...

Best,

gregory estero · 1 July 2011, 09:00 AM

The submariner trumps all my other watches
it is all I wear.

B. Doggy · 1 July 2011, 09:09 AM

Wow, never seen that dial before.

springer · 1 July 2011, 09:09 AM

I'm not a big fan of "bling" on men's watches, but I must say that I really like what that dial did for your Submariner. Very nice!

mjclark32 · 1 July 2011, 09:17 AM

Nothing like a sub!

travisb · 1 July 2011, 10:10 AM

Good decision to go for it.

steve1985 · 1 July 2011, 11:44 AM

I do love the sub as well. Sometimes, though, I got to wear my two-tone DJ. Just something about the classy elegant look over the sportier watch. I just get in the mood for the elegance of the DJ

Mr. K · 1 July 2011, 12:05 PM

The sub is and always will be clasic
