Personally, don't care for the shade of blue. Looked at the WG Blue, YG Blue and YG black and opted for the Black. The blue just didn't do it for me.

But on the flipside the new Sub is beautifully crafted, great weight, bracelet, clasp. Very nicely done!

It looks great on picture and it Definetly looks great in person. I saw someone wearing it. I thought at first was the SS sub but the links are soooo shinny and when I get a chance to see the face then I realized that it's the WG blue sub. I don't know but it seems that the WG links is shinner then the SS links. Could be because it's a WG or just my imagination........:) but Definetly an Awesome looking watch.

A real beauty! The blue dial and bezel against the white gold case, bracelet and clasp......awesome! As far as the yellow gold version.....for me, the combination is a little off. Wouldn't turn one down as a gift, of course, but otherwise not my first choice.

OMG 15k how can i ever get one of those

lawyerwatchfan · 17 June 2009, 05:28 AM

I am curious how the new Glidelock clasp will hold up in all gold. By this I mean that with the moving parts and complexity, will it have longevity similar to the more standard Rolex clasps manufactured in all gold.

how much are we talking about?

[QUOTE=Blendhpi;1172079]I love this watch and would not care too much about if people thought I was wearing steel.

100% agree. I would love to own this watch but I am not so sure about a $20K+ "sport watch."

They're not bad, but I'd rather have a 16618.

BloodyBandage · 18 June 2009, 03:54 PM

this watch is pure beauty..heard anywhere from 15-25k in this post...hard to tell what's a good deal sometimes.

I just returned from my local AD in Orlando and tried it on! It's absolutely amazing! I don't know what you call that blue color but it is a striking combination with the white gold! The price on the tag was $29k. Would love to see it in TT white gold some day just so the price would be more affordable, and then maybe I would buy one.

A local Rolex AD has one WG Sub Date in stock. He offered it to me at 30% off.
Contact me via email and I can direct you to his store in Ohio.

I like the all blue and white gold/stainless. It reminds me a little of a blue tudor sub.

Syms · 29 June 2009, 03:32 AM

I didnt think it was that nice until I actually got to put one on....WOW>..this thing is amazing on the wrist...and is HEAVY as hell...

MSRP up here in Canada was like $29k CAD...ouch!
