Basel 2010 - New Submariner LV ceramic..

[anipit]

So the new submariner, will be available in 3 colours, black on black, green on green and blue on blue.

My opinion is that the blue/blue (in white gold), will decrease his appeal, because it is only a matter of different metal, no longer different case, different bezel, different dots size.

And of course, if i ever will buy a new black sub, i will also buy a blue dial end blue bezel....... who will know it is only Ssteel instead of Wgold??

the WG sub has polished WG center links versus the 904L steel on both the black subC and the Hulk sub...

I kinda like that "nickname" for the 116610LV "HULKSUB"

Rolex won't sell the blue bezel and dial to just anyone. Your watch has to be damaged and sent to them as they want to control the availability of these kinds of parts to deter people from doing what you suggested. They do the same thing with LV bezels. Plus, even if you did WIS's like us would spot the fact you wouldn't have PCL's and therefore not a true WG sub

The blue is very nice....WG is a very serious material especially the way Rolex make it. They do not do a white gold plating but a solid white gold material made from a special combination of yellow gold and other precious metals.

The WG model is actually more exclusive and expensive than the yellow gold model. (There are 5 models (SS in black or green dial, Two Tone with blue dial, YG with black dial and white gold with blue dial).

As for the green dial........well green is the corporate colour of Rolex. Personally I will never wear a green coloured dial.
