I really think that this is the most hoorendous looking thing ever, and i love almost every rolex!!!

Juggernaut · 20 April 2010, 08:07 AM

It's nice. But I'm glad I got my non-ceramic LV when I did!

Firebison · 20 April 2010, 10:16 AM

Wow, lots of negative attention for this watch. I actually like it. It may be my first Rolex purchase.

RSubSS · 20 April 2010, 12:27 PM

I feel like i would like this watch better in person but im not a fan of the crown guards, makes the watch look more rugged and durable but i have never liked that look. Overall though it is a beautiful watch, i heard it looks "bigger" but obviously its still a 40mm....i would like to see it in person..

Mr.Mojorisen · 20 April 2010, 12:45 PM

does anyone know what the other side of the glide lock looks like?
meaning: does it still look like the submariner clasp on the other side or does it look like the glidelock on the 18k gold submariners?

ckcspice · 20 April 2010, 04:29 PM

not my cuppa tea but gota admit, it's hell of an attention grabber with that shade of green...

Huskerjss · 30 April 2010, 02:37 AM

Any news on what the release date is going to be on this watch? I really like the new LV and would like to see one in person in a shop.

ASH · 30 April 2010, 10:36 AM

I wastold by the Rolex rep yesterday that they will in the AD's this summer

andrew79 · 30 April 2010, 12:06 PM

I thought the current LV is already an attention grabber... but this new one will be even more so.... we'll see what happens... :)

isolator · 30 April 2010, 01:20 PM

Is it just me or does the beefier case make the band look to skinny?
I wish they would have gone to a 22mm lug width with corresponding bracelet that tapers to 20mm.

drtooth73 · 5 May 2010, 10:46 PM

so they have ceramic subs in all blue WG, all green SS, black TT, whats next, red dial/bezel in red gold?

TheFlatHead · 12 May 2010, 06:55 PM

I guess I have to see it in person but these hi-res pics aren't doing it for me. The green dial seems a bit over-the-top and I'm not a fan of the ceramic bezels (even though I have the DSSD). I definitely like the less shiny satin finish green bezel on my LV. I wonder if I can retrofit the new glidelock bracelet on to my LV - now that would awesome!

I kinda like that "nickname" for the 116610LV "HULKSUB"

Great thread Larry

Re above: The color of the green dial comes from blending yellow gold powder with aluminum powder.

At first I was determined "NOT" to like the new 116610 LV. I have an early 16610LV, a 14060 and a red 1680... I love the classic Sub... How could I possibly appreciate this new "thing???"

But as of late I must admit the new 116610LV is growing on me. I can see this watch joining my collection. Yes it is blocky, but not as much as my DSSD; and it has the glidelock, I absolutely love the comfort of the glidelock.

Dear Alex {Droog}, The jury is out..... this new watch could do my gulliver in. But Ludwig van might help me out artistically.

ETT · 25 June 2010, 10:28 AM

I think it's stunning. Almost enough so to distract me from my quest of obtaining a GMT Master II as my first Rolex acquisition

Dear Ed , you're probably right the new sub looks very nice indeed.

wjrw592 · 3 July 2010, 06:57 AM

I just saw the new ceramic Sub in July/August 2010 Departures magazine
in Green / Green dial - list price $7,725. That's quite a jump from $6,400
list for the LV Green/Black combination but there are lots of upgrades on it.

I think it will be tough to like at first & then grow me over some time like
the SS/plat Yachmaster did ~ back to saving for a new watch!

orioner · 5 July 2010, 03:45 AM

I personally like the new lunette verde. Do you guys like the new or older one? I think a poll would be interesting

Juggernaut · 11 September 2010, 01:22 PM

I don't mind the green dial so much, but I just can't get past the super case. I think the profile and the proportions of the previous line is perfect...a classic!
Plus, I always prefer Matte finishes and so I don't care for the high shine on the ceramic bezel inserts.

djmarcox · 29 September 2010, 12:11 AM

whats the us retail on this at the moment.. Im looking for my first rolex and I think this is the one I want..

GMT has one green dial black bezel in all yellow gold. It just looks gorgeous.

Siddhartha Roy · 30 September 2010, 01:32 AM

Pictures are indeed very nice. Dubai dealer Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons did not have the model as late as 17th Sept.2010. I was informed that the model is expected to hit Dubai show rooms around October 2010. I just love it. Look forward to own it in the not too distant future.

sandcrab · 30 September 2010, 04:42 AM

I have seen the watch at South Coast Plaza, Baron and Leeds. The green is muted and looks rich. It definitely looks better in person; I just happen to gravitate more towards the precious metals than SS, but still a beautiful watch.

Irrigate · 8 November 2010, 12:11 PM

Great pics.

rose94grad · 13 November 2010, 05:16 AM

The Green on Green is my first rolex and I absolutely love it!
I saw it and had to pull the trigger!!!!

Had it for about two weeks now.
