Icon4 White dial Submariner!

White dial 1226610LN with black bezel insert, WG PVD hands and indices, “Submariner” in red…..

I was talking today with a dear friend and we agreed this would break TRF. Total meltdown.

Who knows……. Watches and Wonders is coming!

All joking aside, it could look pretty good, IMHO. I guess that’s why I’m not a Rolex executive.

That would look fantastic (and I like the new white Speedmaster, too).

Are you just spinning this off from the Omega Speedmaster in white that came out recently? You do know like less then 10% of dials are non dark colors. You'd think if it was such a good color it would have been done before. Im sure Rolex has thought of this already. I will say the DJ white dial is a stunning watch. So classy and elegant. But a Sub w/black bezel in white.....not feeling it. I would personally not buy one. Im waiting for a double red Sub, now that would be somethung

I think a white dial would be on PM, possibly their first RG Sub.

Rolex’s aura would disappear if they were to make such a move immediately after Omega’s release

Didn’t stop Rolex from taking the wind out of Omega’s Seamaster Ultra Deep by releasing shortly thereafter the Deepsea Challenge. ;-)

Bingo.

My friend was surprised there was such a fuss among Omega fans over a different color dial. I said I wasn’t surprised, as the Moonwatch is Omega’s icon and any such change to an icon generates passionate exchanges among WIS…. Sort of like imagining what a white dial Sub would do to TRF. ;-)

I think Rolex don’t need to add more heat to the Submariner popularity right now

I doubt it. I can see the explorer 2 getting a black ceramic bezel though.

It seems like it was Omega that “borrowed” the white dial / black bezel combo from Rolex. White dial Seamaster looks like a white dial Daytona to me.

The only white dial I can deal with is a slice of Meteorite.

So basically what Omega did to the Moonwatch is what you’re saying? Does Rolex truly strike you as so derivative?
