Ya, for sure the new one is hot. But, now i could be worng about this, over here its close on 2k euro more that i can get the LV for. I dont know but i am certainally not felling that differance.
Are you saying 2000 euros more for a Sub C than a new regular Sub? That's a lot - it's about $1,000 US here. But having worn a hollow center link model with that less than substantial clasp, I can attest the new models with the heavy bracelets and new clasps are worth at least $1,000US to me. The clasp mechanisms alone are worth it - the ones on the Sub and different one on the GMT Master IIc and Datejust 2 are simply amazing and nearly infinitely adjustable. They are masterpieces of bracelet engineering - the best I've worn...PERIOD!
The Sub C clasp is adjustable to 5 postions on the fly. The GMT Master IIc and DJ2 have a single 5mm adjustment on the fly, but also a 3 position adjustment in the clasp that requires using a tool, similar to Breitling clasps. I'd think long and hard before getting the old bracelet and clasp. For some it's no big deal at all. For me it was a mistake I needed to undo.
Well first off a man of your experience has to be listened too! Regards the price differance , i have to confirm though, its as close as does't matter. I think the main reason is the good price i am getting off my ad. And that i cant seem to get the new sub. Discounted. Sure if its 1000$, around 700e, but 2k thats a bit to much for me and for one reason only, that i could get a fine hefty clasp with second hand super ocean, colt or sf at the other end of it! ! If i could pm some one to check if indeed i am getting a good price on my LV. On another note i buy my sf at xmas to mark the birth of my second child, who was born today healthy. Baby Cian.
