Thanks Ivan!

Really eny you bro!!! Much cost you a fortune. Really, how much Sub cost these days? I heard they sold it at 'premium'.

Manburg,

You ever handled a GmtIIc?
From what I can gather, although both gmtiic and the subc both have the ceramic bezel, it is believed that the sub ceramic bezel is black whichever angle or lighting conditions you look at.
Whereas the gmtiic's ceramic bezel looks to be grey or purple in some angle and lighting conditions.
Just wanna double confirm. Is the Subc's bezel looks black only at all times?

[Manburg]

Hanz,

I've handled GMTII C before, but never checked the supposedly different colour of the bezel due to the different lightings, etc.

I'm not wearing the Sub C today, so will have to wait until I'm back home to verify your conspiracy theory. 

[Manburg]

Ok, amateur's experiment done, and I can safely say that your theory is correct. Even though I tried to make the Sub C's bezel's colour looks different by exposing it to different exposures of lights, it stays black in all circumstances.

Yes, Ivan! 

By the way, the polar Exp II is no longer with me. It's gone to a new home.

Thanks for the photo.

It's amazing what rolex can do to a 40mm case.

They're the same diameter but not the same size! 

I would say the 14060 is the max for me. My wrist just don't agree with the new sub

Tyler,

The 14060M is actually not similar in the case size to the 116610's, as the former is 39.5 mm whilst the latter is 40mm. Coupled with the 116610's super case, it's understandable that it looks bigger. But having owned both, I can say with certainty that if a 14060M can sit on your wrist safely, it's hands down than you could also pull the 116610 off.

My point exactly. The supercase have a much larger presence visually while the diameter of the case remain. Mind you if u.measure the 14060 with its bezel the size is actually 40mm. The case itself maybe 39.5 but the bezel stick out a little making the overall size 40mm.

Hence I applaud rolexs's engineering skil for having achieve an increase of size but without an increase of diameter.

However with this approach we lose some elegant of the watch, which is not.really a bad thing. It's a sport watch after all.

I myself find the watch look disproportion with the supercase.

Yes, I can spot a supercase on my wrist no problem but I much prefer the older case. Sign of age maybe.

Tyler

Tony,

What do you mean freezing? The watch was not frozen in any way.

No worries mate.   Even though I never intended to make the running tap water shot to look like a frozen water, to my surprise you're not the first to think as such. I guess that's the power of a picture ... playing with our minds and tricking our eyes.
