which is ur favourite sub?

[terrenceterrence]

Thinking of getting a Sub ND but after some poisoning by sshark to have a look at a LV for their maxi dial, i am lost.

so if i put a LV into the equation, i might as well welcome the GMT IIc S/S into the shortlist because it's jsut slightly more..in terms of cost but way ahead in features in terms of looks.

so which one would you guys prefer?

a. 14060
b. 16610 LV
c. GMT IIc

and why?

[ck77]

14060 for me. Not a fan of cyclop myself.
IMHO, without date is the true and original submariner. Not to mention its simplicity and clean look.
  

[takashi78]

I vote the 14060 as well. Clean and legible dial. very pure.
IMO the GMT should not be in here as well as its not a Sub. Price range is much more also.
Why not think bout the non LV version?

[Samajaya168]

Go for GMT2!  
if u dont like d cyclop then u can remove it wif spirit

Hi terence,
I was in exact same situation last month,
Sub Date or GMTIIc?

I ended up with a 16610 sub date, because it's discontinued.
Why not LV?
because the AD i was in doesn't have one that time. both looks good on my wrist though(tried both before in other place)


Btw,
I can get a GMTIIc easily anytime, anywhere in the future.
hope this will help, but then again buy whatever you like man!

cheers,
ck

Hi Terrence,
I think you should also consider including the Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref 16600 into your list. It's definitely a member of the venerable Rolex Submariner family, with a deeper depth rating. For those who prefer to have a date function without the distraction of the cyclops lens then the Sea-Dweller is definitely the way to go. Personally I prefer the additional thickness and heft of the Sea-Dweller which simply translates into a more substantial feel on one's wrist.

Yes, i don't like the cyclops too and love the SD and DSSD

and if you like the ceramic bezel, how about DSSD? bigger case size, ceramic bezel, upgrade bracelet, date with no cyclops

btw, GMT-2C is not sub le~~ kekekkeek

[David_cheong]

Wah... nice picture. In real life, would you subject your sd/dssd to ice treatment?.

For me, I would definitely no. What say you? your thought.

dc

[danny]

For a moment there I thought you dropped your DSSD into a bowl of ais kacang?! 

 

[terrenceterrence]

tried both the SD and the DSSD before and did not like the height of both.

you guys are right....maybe it's time to get a 14060M non COSC cause it's might be discontinued whereas the 116710 would be here for quite some time. now to find a good complete one.

[dennis.T]

man, u watch the karate kid?? FOCUS , u need MORE FOCUS… GMT iic is not Sub… I thought u have make up u mind for Sub 14060??

btw, tat gmt iic u are wearing is our friend's new toy is it??

[sshark]

16610 LV was discountinued too.. replaced by 116610 LV

tried both the SD and the DSSD before and did not like the height of both.

whahah yeah SShark bought a new GMTiic

my colleague bought that while he was stuck in Milan during the volcanic ash fiasco.

damn funny..2 guys so bored of waiting that they decided to get a GMTiic each. maybe it;s also because they know their overseas accumulated allowance would be kau-kau so what the heck might as well right?

no lah...wait for the green sub...

Sshark is standing by cash for that one also.

[terrenceterrence]

btw, GMT-2C is not sub le~~ kekekkeek

yarlor but with a LV costing in between  SGD 6.5 - 8.0k in the grey market depending on condition and age...

i can easily get a GMTiic from overseas within that price range too. so that's why i placed it into the equation because for that kind of money i can get one model with more bells and whistles at the same price range.

must be a bit kiasu mar...whahhaha

How about getting the LV with an additional interchangeable black bezel?

We have the same taste haha.....but i think the new green sub will be super goreng price unless most ppl dun like green.

Anyone have any idea on the list price for the new ceramic subs?

[terrenceterrence]

then wait for the new green sub 

whahahha that one have to wait a few years di like that... have to wait for the initial euphoria to die down and the price to stabilise before i can get one.

too poor to pay the premium "COV" for a new model Rollie

most ppl dun like green also the LV goreng like mad already in anticipation of it being discon 

that's why u see so many ppl buy and then change it to black to wear... but the maxi dial is noice 

[sshark]

If the new green sub turns out to be a lemon... would u be so keen to buy 1?

[dennis.T]

I thk e new green sub would not become the lemon watch…just thk which model of rollie watches ever become lemon??   Thanks for their wonderful marketing strategy by giving the majority the feeling of owning a rolex means achieving something in your life or milestone... 

e new green sub is too striking for me however still prefer to feel the real watches.
