I enjoy my fat sub a lot. Bought it for my dad when it came out! He prefer it over the old 5 digit sub! Sadly he passed away 3 years ago! It will be a keeper for me!

I do like the look of the transition to the band more on the 126, but I only notice that in photos and not on my wrist. I'm not sure I could go even the littlest bit bigger on my bony watchmount... as some early reports have the 126 wearing bigger. We'll see.

I'm very happy with my Submariner, wear it every single day.



I did note when downsizing the image I have some goo around the cyclops I need to clean off... the hazards of wristwatch photography.
Its a classic that will never go out of style for me. That is why I will never be without one.

You tell him mate! So matter of fact. Can't believe I'm getting involved in this crap but it was a terrible example and deserved a telling. "This M3 I've just bought has a 320d engine?" "yes sir but it's green so gives it another 250+ horse power"😁 love it

Wore a new 1680 red for 35+ years. Always wanted a more substantial feeling case, and the 116610 Sub/C took care of that. All Submariners are fabulous, the new issue will get there eventually when 3235 movement proves itself rock solid. In the mean time, 116610 subs remain the bulletproof HD's(heavy duty) Submariners.

This is why it’s so important to buy a watch that you love and to ignore the “investment” side of things.

There’s way too many people treating watches like stocks these days. It’s very sad
This true. It reminds me of how hip-hop artists in the early 90's talked about cadilacs, late 90's early 00's it was mercedes and BMW, now it's supercars and bentley.

Everything goes up a notch!
