Owned it, wore it everywhere. Got tired of the weight. 114060 now. 116619 sits in safe. You'll come back to steel.

I'm getting old and lazy. I don't even like my 5980 anymore. Too heavy. Down to 15202 as my only comfortable watch. Not sure where I go from here. You do a great job of wearing everything from SS Patek to PM Rolex/Patek. I've always had a hard time switching weights/sizes.

only downside I seen with years of constant wear on a gold sub doing everything (diving etc.) is that the softer band will wear out and need replacement (the gold does just not last as long as the stainless in abrasive (read fine sand) environments). Other than that, absolutely.

If you want to participate in such activities as these while wearing a gold watch, I see no better option than a Rolex.

That’s a good story! I think it’s a beautiful watch and it’s probably my favourite Rolex bar the plat Daytona, but I think it would still be good in the collection as a weekend watch still. Black sub dates all the way (ceramic)

Don't Buy A Gold Sub (like the 116619)!!!
Congrats! PM's are indeed awesome, love my 18239 DD even though only wear it typically once a week. I cannot afford any additional PM pieces so SS is my friend as well!

Great read! Especially after just reading the thread about whether or not it is bad if you PUMP GAS while wearing a Rolex.
FWIW, I don't do the whole Bangkok strip club thing, but do wear my Daytona every single day.

I understand about gold becoming addictive and SS feeling like toys, but last year I bought three SS in a row and then the SS market took off so now I want to go back to the calmness and "value" of PM!

I'd love a blue SS Sub with tapered lugs.
