That WG sub is the nuts..
Love everything about it , feels so good on the wrist.
Would trade my Daytona in a heartbeat for it [and some cash]
Found one for £11,900 used bot with all papers etc, got to be worth a look??

It's gonna be a classic one of these days. First WG sub made!!

Michael M. · 7 December 2010, 10:48 AM

The WG Sub~C with the blue dial is one of my alltime favorites!!!!!!!

Lol-x · 7 December 2010, 02:26 PM

The blue dial and bezel are weird, they can change from a light sky blue (as per Ken's photos) down to a dark navy blue in other less intense lighting conditions.

Pretty cool dial and bezel insert.

I went to the AD and it was indeed heavy, as was the all gold version. Very nice watches. Also, putting the ss, next to the all whte gold there wa a noticable difference in the brushed links. Not a lot but noticable.

The brushed WG somehow looks more subdued than the brushed SS.

I don't know what it is, the WG just looks a little more dull in appearance than the SS

I don't know quite how to describe it.

Your right. As I put them next to each other I did notice that too. Next time I'm there I have to take a pic. It would be a nice comparison shot, unless someone on the forum could show us. The dulling maybe s due to the platinum? Because I've seen some really shiny 18k W/G. Maybe Rolex just over polish the SS.

AGREED! Those blue hue's, that ceramic bezel in the blue is just STUNNING, dial too...

I can't afford the WG piece now (I suppose if I sold my DSSD, Sub C and GMT II C) I could, but i'm not willing to part with 3 beautiful piece's for one outstanding one..

Blah :(

Beautiful pic's guy's, i'm tempted to get the TT blue c (but in my heart) I know it's only because the WG piece is out of my range for now, and well, could never replace it.. (guess i've never had a TT watch as well, so i'm itching for one ha)

Great PICs Dino.

I first saw the WG Sub at an AD in St. Tropez when I made the fatal mistake of trying it on

......and, needless to say.... the seed was sown.......

A few weeks later, despite my more sensible self saying not to, it was on my wrist.......

But I have never looked back and absolutely relish wearing it. Looks great with a suit or with jeans and the blue dial gets far more comments than all of my other watches put together....... of which there are quite a few

must resist.....must resist.....must resist

too many urges & a forthcoming phone call from the AD for a Pam 382 (with luck) comes first

Definitely don't try it on then....... Or you will be in its clutches big time.......

Best of luck on those resisting techniques Chad

Had to jump in the thread as I have become a member of the WG Smurf Club.

The watch is heavy but after a while you don't notice it as much. It is very unique and I love having something many don't have. I have only worn it going out but will increase it's wrist time in the near future.
