Can anyone tell me how much a new submariner black on black with SS bracelet costs at a AD. We don't have one in town so i can't check.

I think I have an idea of how much, but i just want to be sure.

Thanks, Tyler

padi56 · 4 July 2005, 02:32 AM

List price in the UK For a Sub date is £2340 =$4136

baseballduck · 4 July 2005, 02:35 AM

Thanks padi, just now it seems more out of reach lol.

Uncle-AJ · 4 July 2005, 03:36 AM

Look at this link. They say it's even higher at $4525.

Padi could have given the price of the ND Sub.

Uncle-AJ · 4 July 2005, 05:15 AM

I've just done a quick calculation and if Tyler puts away a dollar a day for the next 12.5 years, he should have enough for his watch.

baseballduck · 4 July 2005, 08:56 AM

Haha thanks for that AJ. I hope your name is AJ if not sorry about that.

It's Adrian John and most people call me AJ, so no worries.

dman · 4 July 2005, 01:32 PM

I call him something else, but since we are being nice I'll refrain.

Adrian is really the top of top, they don't come any better than the good ole Uncle!

Mr. K · 4 July 2005, 09:21 PM

Yup, I agree. You can sign me up for the Uncle AJ fan club too.

Uncle-AJ · 4 July 2005, 10:16 PM

Now I'm really embarrassed, I've gone red.

JJ Irani · 5 July 2005, 05:03 AM

Uncle-AJ has now become more synonymous with all of us than his actual name. Hooray for Uncle-AJ!!!

Actually, it used to something unpronouncable, but we made him change it to something reasonably intelligible and befitting his advanced age.

See how fickle your "friends" are, AJ? Never turn your back on them.

List Price in Hong Kong for the SD is $32100HKD = $4128 usd, $26500HKD = $3408 (without the date)

you maybe able to get a 10-15% off the list price , depending on the AD.. time to start saving !!!

JJ Irani · 7 July 2005, 04:50 PM

Rolex prices in HKG are normally the best with discounts going as high as 18% on solid cash deals. The HKG dealers don't care much for plastic.

gwozhog · 15 August 2011, 02:48 AM

Kind of funny reading about people saying the sub is even more out of reach at 4k. 2005 was not that long ago. Hard to believe you could have bought two subs back then for the price of one today.

Octopus · 15 August 2011, 02:51 AM

Makes you wonder how much one is going to cost in another 6 years!

thewatchguy93 · 15 August 2011, 02:54 AM

Price of a new Ceramic Sub in the UK is £5,250.00

Grissom · 15 August 2011, 02:57 AM

And now it's $8000.00, almost double.......

And in 20 years, we'll say: "Man, can you believe a Sub C only cost 8k in 2011? I can barely get a G Shock for 8k now!".

And: "I don't know, for $35k, I'd think the new Sub Z should come with more than just a heads up holo display, and a nuclear power supply, I think they nailed it back in 2011 with the C, you can still find them used for $20,000, but Rolex won't service them anymore.".

kareemthedream33 · 15 August 2011, 04:39 AM

Wow, very funny to go back and read threads like this. Rolex prices increase so far beyond inflation it's amazing. At some point, it is going to bite Rolex. Most people here won't agree with me but that is my opinion. When you're increasing your prices at such a significantly higher rate than everything else, you're entering new markets and new demographics.

I think that's exactly what Rolex wants to do. Move upscale and become a more exclusive, higher end brand. If so, they'll need to work on upgrading their mvts, and better finishing on the mvts, only because when people compare a Rolex to let's say an AP, the most often cited difference is mvt. finishing.

In a time when the rich get richer, and more poverty, and a shrinking middle class, it's a pretty good strategy.

It would then follow that they would have to produce significantly less watches per year, no?

Yes, and that's exactly what I heard, they are cutting back production, as much as 35%.
