Tom, I voted to do it ...... the new Sub C will be around for a long time, but it will become more difficult in the future to find a nice LV Sub.

Thanks Richard,

and thank you all for your valuable and helpful opinions!

I think I will do it and see later if I need the 116610 LV again, because it is a beautiful watch anyway:

Thanks again to all!

50th anniversary edition of the iconic rolex submariner is a downgrade? that's an interesting opinion.

Mein Gott!!

Johny being tactful...?!?!?

Am I in the wrong forum?!?!?

Su-bloody-perb mate su-bloody-perb!!!

& to the OP I say do whatever YOU want to do my friend....
Your watch & your money BUT if it was me I'd be inclined to go for the classic 16610 now & the ceramic 116610 later.

im surprised people still using these terms thesedays

a cheaper piece doesnt mean it is inferior to those higher priced ones.... IMO of course

as long as you are happy. i own both, so i would say that

Oh god, I knew I shouldn't have said it!

I class it as a "downgrade" refering to the clasp "upgrade" and bracelet also. I find the newer style a more modern watch and find it to be much more of a quality timepiece.

IMO ofcorse!

I only class the older bracelet/clasp a downgrade. The watch is great. Me being a modernest I prefer the newer. Thats why I bought it

The new case just seems too big.

globalmedia33 · 23 June 2011, 09:01 AM

Sell it to me. hehehehehe.....

ArcticMoose · 23 June 2011, 09:01 AM

Have both.

Art 1 · 23 June 2011, 09:02 AM

Do it. I did something similar once. I sold an LV and missed it so. Finally I got another and am so glad that I did.

Datejust15 · 23 June 2011, 09:13 AM

I would only trade the new one for the old one if the old one had sentimental value. Otherwise, keep the new one.

Michael M. · 23 June 2011, 10:04 AM

Do it, love the old LV!

Shade · 23 June 2011, 10:45 AM

I prefer the new greengold dial as opposed to the old version, but hey its your taste and see which sings to you more!

cdnwatchguy · 23 June 2011, 11:19 AM

Old one is way better looking. imho

Rolex Freak · 23 June 2011, 11:42 AM

Really depends on the look that you prefer. I own the older model and have tried on the newer. The newer looks to similar to my GMT IIC, so I'm glad I have the older. Really no one can answer this one but you.
