Icon19 I tried to resist, but it was impossible......New Sub C for me!

What can I say that we all don't already know, the new sub's rule. I have owned a bunch of Rolex sport models and I have never had the fit I get with the new sub, the clasp is just amazing.

I find it light, comfortable, and incredibly legible with the maxi dial and hand. The maxi dial and hand was the only thing I liked with my old LV, it's so nice to have a watch with those features again.

This will probably be my last AD purchase, heck, it will probably be my last nice watch purchase ever. What more can we ask for, everything I want and need from a watch is in the 116610, it's perfect.

I seriously can't get over how comfortable it is on the wrist, and it all comes down to the incredible adjustments you can make with the clasp, it is leaps and bounds over the previous clasp.

I have owned so many different watches over the years, and this one feels so different, I think I found that lifelong keeper I have been searching for.

Well, here is the first wrist shot!

AWESOME!!

But I really wish you hadn't done that.... you are just "fueling the fire". The more I see pics of the Sub C the more I want one.

Congrats on your new watch

Very nice! I've always toyed with the idea of getting a sub and I definitely like the new model. Enjoy your new watch

LOL, tell me about it Steve. Maybe if I win the lottery another new one will be in the cards, but I have 3 kids to put through college. Priorities have sunk there evil hands into my watch hobby.

This sub will live in water. I do live in Arizona, I spend hours a day in the pool, and lots of trips to the beach. One of my major requirements for a watch is that is a water watch, and the sub is made for water.


Thanks to everyone for the replies.
