The green already looks good after my initial shock. My poor, poor wallet...

I really really like the green sub. I should be going ughh but I can't! There is something about it that just sings. i love the old fashioned suburst effect of the dial and the ceramic green is wonderful!

Explorer looks nice with Rolex issued photo's but when I saw the first few one's taken by press and public, I could hardly make out the 3, 6 ,9.

As for the green sub. Well, you'll either love it or hate it!

having just bought the GMT-IIC - I didn't see much reason to get the new SUB -
but I LOVE that clasp - first photo I've seen of it. didn't know they upgraded that past what the GMT has.

BTW - I don't like the green at all - but I'm always happy to see when Rolex makes something not for the masses.

I like their photos better than the through-the-glass wall shots.. much more details and perspectives.......

I like the green dial and Cerachrom bezel insert. I own an M series LV I bought new a year ago. I love the LV for various reasons, and the new model will likely fall into the love-it-or-hate-it category I believe.

I think this 2010 LV will be a big seller, no doubt. Its new and unlike previous Subs, which will attract buyers. It has the all-green dial which I don't recall seeing since the GMTIIc came out in solid gold the first year they began phasing out the old 16710 GMTII, and that will also attract many collectors. And for people who buy Rolex for the name, well, its a bit more Rolexish in your face with the all Rolex-green in both bezel and dial.

As for the Exp, I would have liked to have seen a larger diameter case than 39mm and more lume, since its an explorer's watch and they often get used in the dark, and the bigger the dial, the more legible under dark circumstances

I look forward to additional photos, thanks for posting these.

Best,

Chris
