Well, I finally cracked and snapped up a Sub C. The GMT had to make way for it, but no regrets so far! I'll post a pic soon (even though you all know what they look like).

Nice one Otto! There's a lotta love for the Rolex here these days! I guess it just goes to show that when a company listens to consumers (i.e. the old bracelets and clasps were not in keeping with a modern watch, etc) and more importantly when it acts upon it, people will be more than happy to embrace a brand they perhaps hadn't wanted to be involved with before. With the new models (SDDS, Sub C, GMTc, etc) Rolex have acheived something of a holy grail in terms of advancing a classic design while still paying hommage to the past. Sure a few dyed-in-the-wool Rolie fans don't like the new models (especially the Deepsea), but generally most watch-folk really like them. And I'm one of them!

The new Sub C is awesome. The ceramic bezel is virtually un-scratchable. I have the GMT C and love it. Plus the new movement is amazing. Wear it in good health. Don |

Awesome. What was behind the decision to trade the GMT for the Sub, btw? I know why I'd take the Sub, but I'm curious about your ideas on the matter. And I couldn't agree more with Driver's comments. Breitling should listen. |

Thanks guys. I decided to go with the Sub rather than the GMT because I prefer the brushed look, and I am a dive watch fan at heart. The Sub C seemed to combine a lot of the features I like, not to mention the awesome clasp. It's exactly the sort of watch I would choose if I could only have one.  Here it is this morning after its first trip to court. I still haven't taken all the plastic off  - will do that today.

It's such a classic design. I'm feeling warmer about Rolexes every time i look at one. |

That looks great on your wrist there Otto. Very nice indeed. I may have to go and retry on a non-SDDS sometime soon! |

That looks fantastic Otto, a perfect size for you. I know what you mean about the plastic too, it stayed on my PO for like a week  Enjoy the watch
