I own a stainless Sub C, a Sea Dweller, a DSSD, and a TT Sub.... have an itch to buy an 18K sub......should I??? is it over the top?.....Opinions?

patek.wis · 12 July 2012, 11:47 AM

If you can pull it off both look wise and 'lifestyle' wise, buy it.
Rolex YG always is a showstopper, i just love em

Or you could do a GMT II 18k to convolute things a bit

hehe

Love the Rolex 8 KT YG watches.

AMCK87 · 12 July 2012, 12:18 PM

If you're gonna get an 18k sub, go WG

paverman · 12 July 2012, 12:35 PM

You never specified WG or YG. WG is certainly not over the top and would be my choice. Actually, it was my choice

and no regrets.

YG is great looking on some, but it doesn't do it for me when it's on my wrist.

Viv Savage · 12 July 2012, 12:43 PM

I love the black dial. You then can put the watch on a strap for a change of look.

landroverking · 12 July 2012, 12:44 PM

The 18k bluesy is one great watch.

nch209 · 12 July 2012, 12:48 PM

I love the 18k subC! If you can swing it go for it! A big time reseller has been trying to talk me out of it by citing that many of the ones he sells are safe queens and dont get enjoyed... and then get sold back to him.

Its a big chunck of change, but IMO, I think if you can buy right and afford it, its a fine choice!

Hairdude1 · 12 July 2012, 12:49 PM

Do it and post pics!

Silvio Mosiello · 12 July 2012, 12:50 PM

If I had a couple more digits behind m balance in my account PSSSHHH the watches and cars id get. Oh my my my.... Go for it if you can! Over the top? Its a 18k sub, It Is right at the top!

psv · 12 July 2012, 12:56 PM

YOLO, as they say on the internet. You only live once!

Sea Watches Only · 12 July 2012, 01:10 PM

The watch I'm considering is a Z-series Yellow Gold...Blue dial and bezel....
I can buy it for $10K from a private party....

I always thought I wanted one, but I am almost self-conscience even wearing my TT sub simply for the bling-factor....

Would I look like the stereotypical mid-life-crises guy....?
You know...the gray chest hairs...gold chains...red Corvette...and...uh....an 18K sub?!? (by the way, I don't have any of the above yet, but I REALLY want the sub!!!)

I know the price is great....not buying it to flip....I want to wear it....but....I guess the real question is.....is it CHEEZY???

DG123 · 12 July 2012, 01:55 PM

Yes.

Go for it if you can afford it.

You can always get something else once you get your gray chest hairs, gold chains and red Corvette!

kilyung · 12 July 2012, 01:13 PM

Jump jump jump!

Ebruner · 12 July 2012, 01:15 PM

That is a screaming deal!! But buyer beware, too good a deal is often too good to be true.

patek.wis · 12 July 2012, 01:24 PM

Thats a stupid deal. If its all up and up go buy

jackwebb · 12 July 2012, 01:25 PM

10K! I would buy it all day long and twice on Sunday.

mldaytona · 12 July 2012, 01:25 PM

Go for it man.

Silvio Mosiello · 12 July 2012, 01:30 PM

Andale andale!

mvmbles · 12 July 2012, 01:46 PM

I'm right there with you brother, but have decided on the WG Sub for my first all gold piece. After that, I think the logical progression of my personal collection would be YG, then rose.

Be prepared for the attention. When I still owned a two tone blue Sub C, I would catch dozens of people staring at it and also checking me out every time I wore it.

DG123 · 12 July 2012, 01:53 PM

Submariner model is designed for underwater diving.
I don't think Rolex should even produce/sell a gold Submariner. The combination does not ring true.

Your right.

Just tossed my WG sub in the garbage.

Thanks for the heads up.

When is trash day and would you mind sending me your address? I'll make sure NOT to buy a YG Blue Sub C with the money saved by getting your WG Sub for free

I respect your opinion DG123, just having fun here.
