While everybody is fighting over the fat subs vs new subs, well Pre ceramic subs are the best overall ever made... A true classic with beautiful elegant chamfers...

MRPWRPATX21 · 1 September 2020, 11:37 PM

Yes

mykii · 1 September 2020, 11:37 PM

The dial is too flat in the flesh and lacks depth. The inky squid lacquer of the 6 digit subs prevented this problem, in addition to the maxi dial proportions. But, if they could do a modern incarnate of the two line, then that would be special.

5 digit all day on the sub

The clasp, bracelet, and bezel of the ceramics are superior in my opinion.

samson66 · 1 September 2020, 11:42 PM

The brand new one is the best Sub ever released IMO. It's close to perfection. Not sure I could think of one thing to change on it.

Xenon · 1 September 2020, 11:45 PM

Old is far from perfect when viewed next to new

1William · 1 September 2020, 11:53 PM

All of the Subs are cool, it is a matter of personal preference.

Mystro · 1 September 2020, 11:55 PM

Who you trying to convince? No model needs any validation or its “better” than another. It’s all personal preference like ice cream.

I think now when you look at the entire range, 4 digit, 5 digit, 6 digit and now this model, they all have their own DNA with slightly different proportions, etc.

This is a good summary...whether planned or not, it is definitely convenient for enthusiast to be able to refer to these watches by reference generation and there to be distinct traits for each.

The 5 digit sub is still the champion of the world by KO. The new 2020 challengers lost the fight once more time IMO

Different strokes for different folks. As for me, I tend to find a way to love them all.

Blansky · 2 September 2020, 02:35 AM

The Maxi dial ruined the entire line.

HEY, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO GET OFF MY LAWN!!

Exactly

ufboy73 · 2 September 2020, 02:37 AM

Never liked the relatively small hour markers (with too much metal in appearance) on the 5 digit...the 50th was perfect, except only available in green

Jagamov · 2 September 2020, 02:41 AM

I'm partial to this one.

To each their own I suppose. I think all of them are great in their own way, and I’d like to have one of each. But if I could only have one, it would be a modern ceramic, quite possibly the one that was just introduced.

Sandpit · 2 September 2020, 02:51 AM

There is no bad sub, but I adore my 5 digit.

I love my five digit as well, however I think they just got a lot closing on the 124060 this year, I need to check one out. Don't get me wrong it would be an addition not a replacement of my 5 digit sub.

The 5 digit still looks and feels the best on any size wrist

TswaneNguni · 2 September 2020, 03:01 AM

From 1988-2010 .Nothing wrong with that baby ! ...and the most robust accurate movement ? 3135

brandrea · 2 September 2020, 03:05 AM

I agree. I don't know why I put up with this crappy thing

Because it was free of course

OP: Have a look at the 5517 or 6538 if you want to see the best
