I'm interested in Sub Ceramic SS but it's quite similar to my Sub No Date.
Should I buy it?

Thanks.

psv · 6 August 2010, 03:25 AM

Within the answer is. May the force be strong.

imono · 6 August 2010, 03:29 AM

Nothing wrong with having more than one.
Soon you'll become a Sub expert!

Dr. Robert · 6 August 2010, 03:39 AM

Yes.

nauticajoe · 6 August 2010, 05:44 AM

From a layman's point of view, all Rolex sports models look the same.
But, for the guys (and gals) in here, the answer is 'no'. First, you're getting a date complication, then the ceramic bezel, then the maxi dial, then the sel's, then the clasp, etc...
I'd call the closet AD to see if they have one avail for you to try out.

Happy Hunting!

esm · 6 August 2010, 05:46 AM

yes... I think you "need" one ;-)

George Ab · 6 August 2010, 05:50 AM

Similar, but quite different. The look of the ceramic is stunning, the maxi dial has serious pop, and the glide-lock bracelet is a thing of beauty.

I have positioned myself to make the move by getting rid of a couple of watches. However, I have some nice watches (as do you with your sub) and I'm going to wait a year for the frenzy to die down.

Shadi · 6 August 2010, 06:00 AM

Yes - I would in your situation

WyoWatch · 6 August 2010, 06:15 AM

....but I actually just sold both my 14060M and another watch to fund the new Ceramic Sub. To me, Rolex fixed every complaint I had as far as the sub went. The basic black submariner has always been the epitome of what I like in a dive watch. I just couldn't get around that &$#*% 91350 bracelet and the way it fit my wrist. Now that they have done away with the old clasp and hollow links (and added some other cool features: Maxi Dial, Blue Lume, Ceramic, etc), I've quite possibly found my daily wearer that will be with me for a loooong time to come. Now if my AD would just get one in stock...the wait is KILLING me

(really, I even find myself dreaming about it at night

).... anyway, good luck with your decision. It'd be nice to be able to keep the classic 14060M and add the ceramic to your collection

mtrunner · 6 August 2010, 06:20 AM

Why not do something a little different and go with the GMT-IIc?

tifosi · 6 August 2010, 06:24 AM

Bad question to ask on a Rolex enthusiast forum.....we love spending other people's money!! YES! Buy it!
If it was me, I would sell the 14060M to fund the SubC. A little too similar for me, personally, and no need for both.

TSW · 6 August 2010, 06:28 AM

I can't see why not

Speed · 6 August 2010, 07:13 AM

Buy it!!!

DCgator · 6 August 2010, 07:17 AM

Take the next logical step- get the Mighty DEEPSEA !!!!

ibramr · 6 August 2010, 08:34 AM

Mtrunner said it before me, and I agree....Why not do something a little different and go with the GMT-IIc?

You would add what you want, yet slightly different.

7S26 · 6 August 2010, 08:53 AM

Yeeeeeeeessssss.

momac · 6 August 2010, 09:40 AM

Here's my humble point of view. I too was very interested in the new Ceramic sub. Keep in mind that I own an M series sub date but I got caught in the hype. I just sold my ceramic GMT yo help with the purchase of the new sub. Anyway, my local AD called last week as said he had the new ceramic sub and I rushed over to purchase it. As soon as I tried it on I immediately noticed that there wasn't much difference in the look between it and my current M series. Yea it has the maxi dial and new bracket and ceramic dial but that's it! I walked away and I didn't look back and it hasn't coheres me not one bit. I'm sticking with my M series. I said all this to say I regret selling my GMT IIc cause I think it's a better buy especially if u already own a sub. Now if I/u didn't already own a sub that's a different story. Humbly submitted.

Tek · 6 August 2010, 03:55 PM

If you have to ask a wis ?

Yes you should!

Yes you want it!

Yes you'll buy it!

SLS · 6 August 2010, 03:59 PM

No, much better options for the money..say an older 16610 and 16710 for less than the price of the new sub. IMHO, wait 6 months and pick one up pre-owned or BNIB from a GMD.

I don't need GMT function. And I prefer to have quick date set and Glidelock clasp.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, my wrist is too small to wear the Deepsea. :)

Roxas · 7 August 2010, 02:44 AM

Thank you every reply. I think I'll try it first to see if it's too similar to my Sub No Date.

dalip · 7 August 2010, 02:47 AM

Seriously, the two watches do not look remotely similar. the only thing they have in common is depth rating and dial color. Even the bezel is not the same shade!

scl6118 · 7 August 2010, 04:13 AM

No, get a SS GMT IIC for something a little different than you have.

I will say that I felt the same way about the new sub when I got it. A little underwhelmed - seemed quite similar in many respects to the old sub. That said, the more I have worn it, the better I like it. The changes are wonderful, IMO, and make this the best version yet.

davegct · 7 August 2010, 09:15 AM

I'm with 'tifosi' I'd sell the non-date and get a ceramic date, which will quickly become the norm!

TopNotchChach · 7 August 2010, 10:01 AM

no. buy a dssd.

fc3s2k · 7 August 2010, 10:04 AM

I have the same dilemma, but I decided to save up for a GMT Master IIC
