These are two great pictures

The greatest submariner ever created ,highly debatable for obvious reasons . But for me the greatest submariner of more recent times ,& one that is still obtainable ,has got to be in my opinion the 16610LV .

Thanks my friend. Interesting I'm back this week to the same place I took that pic some time ago, but I chose the Sub-C Date to come with me this time. I just love these watches.

Loevhagen · 17 February 2018, 10:28 AM

Funny; none of the options...

For me, it's one of the following two; steel or full gold.

The first because it has all the modern legibility features in a classic package - and swapping the insert to an LN totally transforms it into an even more classical piece.

While different than my earlier 6538 I posted here is a shot I took a few years back of my 5514 and 5513 full spec Milsub. The 5514 has log and had deepest dive recorded by Comex at the time with this watch. Some of you might remember these...Oh the good old days!

Honest question: Why haven't you kept ANY of those you have posted recently - if you like them so much?

For personal reasons...But did not want to have that kind of money tied up in watch collection and I had a substantial one at the time. So for me now I own only modern and quite content.

Honda137 · 17 February 2018, 10:55 AM

I agree the vintage models have soul and look stunning, but are rare and expensive. I personally think the milsub 5517 is probably the best looking reference. The 5513 is arguably the start of the iconic sub and the 114060/116610ln is in my opinion the greatest.

Honda137 · 17 February 2018, 11:06 AM

When Rolex unveils the 32xx movement in the ss sub, this will be the greatest.

00Seven · 17 February 2018, 12:47 PM

16610LV is hard to beat for me.

superstarmar · 17 February 2018, 02:38 PM

116613 LB...

Not on your list but on mine ...
It’s iconic and a hit from its inception!!!

I used to be one of those that didn’t care for the “super case” until I bought my 116619. I find it much sportier and masculine than say my 16610. A little more versatile also.

jps3b · 17 February 2018, 03:49 PM

Don’t you guys wish we could go back in time and buy each reference and hide it away. Then dig them up and be heroes in 2018

AK797 · 18 February 2018, 01:13 AM

Not seen a dial quite like this... utterly spectacular at times.

Thanks! The 114060 is such a photogenic watch.

Hello, great 6538! I have now understood about real/fake inserts. Yours is for real! Is your dial a service dial or the real McCoy?

Luap1976 · 9 April 2018, 03:20 AM

116610lv is greatest it's not on your poll
