Hey, I'm considering getting a Smurf Sub, and all I see is bashing. In fact, isn't calling it a Smurf Sub a form of bashing. What gives?

OK having gotten that out of the way, how many of you now own the Smurf Sub, and how do you feel about the color after wearing it? It looks very light in comparison to the old "Bluesy" which color I liked a lot.

Also, anyone having trouble with theirs?

You mean the white gold / blue ceramic? If so....I would love one. Or a remodeled Kitchen. Same price, eh?

DadsWatch72 · 18 January 2010, 10:23 AM

I love it, absolutely love that color.

mdx77 · 18 January 2010, 10:23 AM

I like it, but I don't understand paying that much for a WG Sub that will look like the SS later this year.....but that's just me.

Green Arrow · 18 January 2010, 10:26 AM

Actually thinking of the Two Tone with the blue dial. I'd love the watch in stainless steel, but I understand that the stainless Rolex Sub never comes out with a blue dial.

If that turns out to be true, then it makes sense, but that's not what I've heard.........

I think JJ just might be serious about another Bluesy.

FWIW I love the new smurf. The only thing standing in the way of ownership is the price Rolex wants for it.

Really torn. I like the color of the old one better, but I like the blue lume of the new one (I had a DSSD which had the best lume of any Rolex I've owned) as well as the Glidelock, and the Maxi-dial.

Wish they made the new Ceramic the same color as the old aluminum. Guess I'll have to see the new one in person, but our local dealer hasn't had one in yet.

dalip · 18 January 2010, 10:42 AM

I got a bite

well..I think it;s the angle....+ I really like the clasp and size of the new case...when I tried them both on for a side by side.....

Turn it into a perfect watch: thin flat low profile case, maxi dial

Daytonamania · 18 January 2010, 10:47 AM

Get the Smurf Sub i had one, sold it and have missed it ever since.
Looks so good in the Rolex adverts and the new one is progress thats all.
It will return 1 day hopefully.

rfknauss · 18 January 2010, 10:53 AM

Love the new TT Blue Ceramic Sub. Tried one on at my local Rolex AD last October. Would have bought it in a minute, but it was over my budget. I had to settle for an LV Sub.

Too hard for me to tell as i like both models .
In the end, i would probably pic the one with the ceramic bezel because i like the finish the bezel has to offer.

TurboWatch · 18 January 2010, 10:54 AM

you guys are not bashing my beloved LV ....

sorry

Uh, no.... er, no......... hmmmm....... no........

Like the LV with the black insert. But I'm looking at the Blue dial. Don't think the LV came in a blue dial, did it?

mfer · 18 January 2010, 01:01 PM

You mean my grail sub that I'd pretty much do anything for....

Sub'erman · 18 January 2010, 01:01 PM

Just flipped my 16613LB for a 116613LB.
Loving it!
Waiting for the mailman, though. The beauty hasn't arrived
yet...

Tools · 18 January 2010, 01:53 PM

I think that a lot of guys would love that watch..

It would probably go really well with their baby blue jammies............

Tried this beauty on at an AD in Maui a month or so ago. I'm 99% sure this will be my next Rolex.

This is one of the few photos that capture how cool this watch really is. Just beautiful. Now, that said the price makes me want to cringe but oh well that's the way it goes. I tried it on in Aruba, 25K USD I believe I was quoted. Thats a SDDS, TT DJII and a Coke GMTII I'd rather spend the cashola on.

On the other hand, if they would do the blue dial on the stainless steel version, wouldn't that be great?

Safetrends · 18 January 2010, 03:37 PM

Damn, I thought you were talking about Smurf's.

Well said.

I am fully enamored with the SS White Dial Daytona...but man. $10,000 - IF you can find one. Man.
