Never owned a Sub before. Like the green ceramic but somehow always something more interesting gets in the way. Can say it's a bit plain... ?

Agree, the Sub C LN could look a bit plain, with or without a simple date complication, but nevertheless, it's arguably the most iconic Rolex. In some overseas forums, the members virtually worship this creation, judging from their postings and pics. So for the OP, the old or new Sub is a good choice, tho a good number of members lean to The One with ceramic bezel..

No need to follow the herd..

I find nothing particularly iconic or attractive about the black Sub/Sub Date other than the nice glidelock clasp, good maxi lume and shiny ceramic bezel of the new models. The green Sub Date is a different beast altogether. That and the new Basel 2013 blue dial two-tone.

Love the old sub, but the new sub bracelet is really nice especially the new clasp.
And it's so true that the Sub C is so blink that I can easily notice on the wrist.
Blue lume is nice and trendy.

For black sub,i guess Sub C is a better bet, as pre-owned price is not much different, unless you are going for collectable models.

so have you bought the new sub? how much?

chrisyen · « **Reply #53 on:** October 27, 2013, 08:08:52 PM »

There is a lot of improvement on the 116610.

Just the bracelet and ceramic bezel and luminous compound alone already enough reason for u to choose the new

11610 is wasn't that old to hv the vintage n history value, it's not rare at all...
So I won't need a second to decide looking at the small price different

love both but 16610 more close to classic.

What happened?

I wear my 114060 (a slight deviation from earlier plan) on rotation, no issue whatsoever.
It is really a solid, nice and comfy watch

kukujiao · « **Reply #57 on:** June 05, 2015, 08:26:49 AM »

I dunno... I get very bad and itchy rashes when I wear the 11610. Thinking of applying a coat of clear nail varnish on the bracelet to avoid metal to skin contact.

kukujiao · « **Reply #58 on:** June 05, 2015, 08:27:44 AM »

I really like the bracelet... very comfy and fitting... but the rashes is unbearable

Kukujiao, considered their aftermarket rubber strap before? Maybe it will solve your rash problem. Plus it looks cool!

you check wit skin specialist?

many people actually allergic to nickel

titanium case will be good to you

or any other nickel free stainless steel... damasko ice hardened steel shd be nickel free

Nickel free stainless steel. Interesting.
I should suggest to my colleague

He is allergic to steel and leather.
He can only wear titanium watch, where choices are quite limited

Well I went with the Sub ceramic cause I got it at a good price. Apart from that, it's a robust piece and good for daily wear. Ever since I got it I have been wearing it most the time. No need to worry about banging it, scratches etc. this thing is a beast and perfect all round piece.

The piece I have is over 4 years old and it still looks new. The ceramic bezel is nice. If it's a Daytona you'd spot scratches all over the place and it won't look at good.

I highly recommend purchasing a subC with or without date.

Had the Pre Ceramic Sub until i tried on the Sub C. Wow, what a beauty and really premium feel. As one f the youtubers put it, the Sub C "has the familar looks of the Submariner with a twist of modernity". Bought the Sub C and flipped the Old Model. Very happy indeed.

Prefer pre sub c

Spider boy · « **Reply #66 on:** November 08, 2015, 06:45:21 AM »

If you are buying a watch base on specs , then it will be the sub c . And if you ask me , which watch I like , it will be the pre sub c. This is like asking if you want a 2015 911 turbo or a 1997, 993 turbo.
It's about the feel and the connection .

Ya getting both would be the best but even if one can afford it, its difficult to justify owning 2 Submariners. Granted that there are always exceptions and people even own a fewSubmariners.

Yup, had to get special approval from Home Minister for getting the second Sub.
