A waste of money. A much better investment is the.....wait for it...Platinum Daytona!

Just kidding. The SubC is a fantastic watch. Here is a photo of mine AFTER 8 hrs of sleep (the 2 hands is a Daytona):



And here is the watch:

Just a great reference all around. IMHO a perfect version of an all time classic. The ND is the original Submariner!

I love the simplicity and balance of this watch. Can't say too much else besides just this.

Because it's a SubC:)

The first day I put it on, I was in awe.

2 years later, I am still in awe and I wear it almost daily

Hi, is there a thread in this forum where I can find all the Submariners model numbers/series?

I am new here, all these model numbers made me confused..!!

Thank you.

Must buy, wait no more. I got mine within a week. No regret.
My only regret is Hulk's colour, disappointing not as beautiful as those photos I viewed.
So my advice, you must see the actual piece of watch to decide..

I love the green so much, until I see it. Finally settled for the black. No regret. :)

Had an endoscopy (look down your throat at your esophagus) today while under sedation.

My Hulk received much more attention than my lame jokes ("please don't use the same scope that you use on colonoscopies")

The Sub is a much coveted object of desire. Even by nurses.

Now that you own one, would you agree? If you need to be convinced to buy one, you don't need one...?

HAHA I say this all the time. When people say they cost too much. It just feels so good to have on your wrist.

And if you buy right you can sell Subs and get 90% plus of your money back, I sold mine after two years and only lost £200, less than a Citizen I once bought.

Not worth the money like most luxury watches, but a stunning piece nevertheless. If you can afford it, try to forget about the money and focus on the emotion of wearing it. Worst case scenario you flip it and take a hit, you'll survive. What's a small financial loss compared to the joy this little gem could bring into your life?

in my opinion.. if you average out the cost of meals for life.. you can pay for a SubC in about 10 years.. that's easily what people spend on going to lunch.. some go through that in 2 years.. I know the watch was bought.. but that's how I look at watch purchases.. they are nominal compared to what some, or many, spend on "dining out.."

OK, so you bought it already. Congrats !

Now this is what you NEED to do: Leave this forum and never come back again !!

That way you at least stand a chance of being one of those Rolex owners that just buy a lifetime piece and are happy ever after. If you stay you have only taken the first step down to total doom !

All these people, all of us, we're not your friends ! If you stay among us you will soon be thinking what your next Rolex should be... A GMT maybe ? What about some precious metal ?.... It's endless !!!

Take my advice and leave NOW !!!

(or just be welcomed to madhouse ! )

Got the same one, no regrets.... As classic as it gets, now get your striped nato (I know thats not the exaxt one he used) and pretend to be Sean Connery!

Well, weve been expecting you Mr. bond.....
