Thoughts on the Rolex Submariner Two-Tone. How well received are these in Malaysia? Rarely see this on the wrists as opposed to other Subs. Any possible reasons?

I had a bluesy before. It's a very nice watch. The thing is I can't use it as a daily watch even though it's a submariner. If you work in an corporate environment it's perfect. I miss my bluesy sometimes.

I don't wear it daily that's why I feel it attracts attn but if you use it daily you'll probably get use to it.

2 Tone Blue Sub is one of the nicer PM Rolex i have seen.

el118 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 16, 2017, 08:56:14 PM »

i had one before. the watch is outstanding, but I found it difficult to match either dress up or casual. sold it not long after I bought it.

The same goes to the Hulk, which I found it difficult to match, even though I believe the price is going to go up soon after it is discon.

The two tone albeit attractive, gotta agree they re a pain to match. A black sub wouldve been more subtle

this watch is like a love hate feeling. either u love it or u hate it. For me its really stands out but kinda difficult to match with any outfits. On top of that, it is not too safe to be this showy due to our country's safety. just saying

I have always thought that the 116613LB looks handsome; but have went with the 116610LN and LV, and 116600 instead as these pieces were good to go with any attire, and whether on weekday or weekend. The only TT that I have added into my collection were a couple of DJs. Spotted the 116613LB at Dubai the other day and it was going for a good price, so I must say that I am tempted (could get it on my way back to MY). As it would go, I also spotted the same model here in London (initially was looking for the 326934) and after the VAT refund, the new price was essentially like pre-owned prices back in MY. I still have a week to think it through, but I may just grab a piece here. It's a classic piece, but really nice although the gold links are known to be scratch magnet. Hmmm...

Speaking of which I will be in Europe for the next 3 weeks, have always been told prices are the same. Should really check out the price after VAT. Any idea if prices in Switzerland be cheaper?
A good topic to start a new forum.

Common perception of gold watches are mostly in mature age range. Safety wise, is a norm in MY.

Is the hulk really gonna be discontinued?

I remember very much seeing a Rolex Submariner Coke. Offered to me at RM 14k. Thought it was expensive. Fast forward 2 years later. The same piece going for RM 28k.
Outrageous!
Hulk, even more outrageous.

I don't care about wearing TT for my age, but I do find it easier to wear it with long sleeves than with short sleeves. If I could turn back time, I would definitely go for TT Sub rather than with he GMT, which I feel has a less busy bezel. Bluesy never appealed to me until I tried it on.

I asked an AD near my hotel in London W1 about the 326934 and 116613LB. Yesterday evening, they called me back and said that they had managed to retrieve a 116613LB, previously reserved for another client. After the discount and VAT refund, it would amount to circa RM45k, as they were charging me an admin fee for the VAT refund so I don't get the full 20% off. I viewed the watch this morning and it was brand new with stickers and in box. Should I pull the trigger? Very tempting...

Don't ask here. The only answer you will get is a resounding YES from everyone!

Well, was expecting to get it at circa RM40k as previously liaised with another dealer vide e-mail and with full VAT refund. However, he had let it go to another customer when I contacted him on Wed for the collection; and the AD near my place had a piece, so it seemed that I may have to pay the extra RM5k. But I would also be going to Dubai after this trip (and I have picked up bargains there previously), so not sure if I could still save a few quids there.

I do not know about the price in Malaysia for SubC 2-Tone now but last year December before 2017 January price adjustment, it could be obtained here locally about RM45k to RM48k.

r3kahsttub · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2017, 01:59:18 PM »

45k before adjustment and 52k today.
