Terence terence, how did you know I am keen on sub ND? If not available I may get an sub c or GMT, still thinking  :thumbsup:

They all look cool. I must have been a confused customer ::) the shop guy didn't want to sell to me. Such a nice chap, ask me to go home and think about it  :P

depends if you need to track the second time zone. between the sub c and gmt2c ..i would prefer a gmt2c because it's cheaper and also having an extra function.

but first my advice:

1. budget
2. function
3. Strap on your wrist and you'll know which one sings to your heart.

but bewarned ..no matter which one you choose... it's never enough. so jsut give in  :Laughing_on_floor:

The GMt was more expensive this time a 2007 model. The sub c 2003, recently serviced and the sub ND no stock so expecting some stock but we shall see. Unfortunately very short time in Msia so I'm gonna get one nevertheless  :Praying:

Whichever i will be a happy man hahaha and I reckon i'll buy another in a few years time hahah

Technically the 14060 is called the Submariner and the 16610 is the Submariner Date.  ;D

SUBc is a 2010 model @ 116610

i think you are are referring to the 16610 Sub Date for the 2003 model.

whereas the 2007 GMT2 would be the ceramic 116710. that is why it cost more than the older Sub Date.

New retail prices of the SUBc 116610 is more expensive than the GMT2c 116710

Sid

The model you are looking (the other day) at with service paper from RSC is a 16610 Sub Date, circa 2003
The service papar states RM1800 just for an overhaul with no major parts changed

The newer version has a bigger case, thicker 12-hour hand, & a more contrasting dial with bright orange "Explorer  2". But, worth the extra money? ???
good question...
maybe now not worth it....since most sifus feel this price is to cater for those `I want to be first to own this' people buying...

but assuming prices stabilizes at RM 3k more expensive than the current Exp2 brand new....

then is the extra 3k worth the specs you listed?

Before joining this forum, I always thought Rolex is for older guys and for big Taukeh to wear but now I can see younger generation ( with enough money  ;D ) started wearing Rolex :thumbsup:

Yeah Rolex is a symbol of success and it hold its value well. Now I'm hooked and saving to get one  ;D Really like Rolex Submariner looks

Sid

Congrats. You have got yourself one of the grail (Non-COSC) much desired by many rolex kakis here.

I believe, you're one of the happiest owner for now...
