I saw one last night at my AD, They say its the only one in the country, anyone else see one? That seems to be one of thier famous words (first one, very rare, were the only one) Any how 30 grand!

yannis · 14 December 2008, 12:14 AM

All white gold my AD was telling me about it today! Didn't see it though!

Trurolexer · 14 December 2008, 12:16 AM

I was in Orlando last week, saw one in the showcase at an AD in a shopping mall (can't remember the name). Perhaps it is the same one??

Should be a very easy watch to find. Saw 3 already in montreal alone. A submariner in a metal that looks just like SS for 30k.... You won't find many buyers.

Psmith · 14 December 2008, 12:51 AM

I've seen a few of the WG & YG "Smurfmariner" around in Aus... have tried on both and the blue is much nicer than it appears in some photos I have seen...

Could be a good time to get on "the list" for the likely 2010 SS black dial version...

Cheers

rogerrabbit168 · 14 December 2008, 12:57 AM

saw one at Royal de Versailes in Toronto

Kenny147 · 14 December 2008, 01:21 AM

Took a trip up to the NY RSC, a couple of days ago and they had one on display.

Yeah, I was at RDV last Friday and noticed it in the case also. Irene let me play around with it.

At first I wasn't even aware they made a white-gold blue-dial sub. When I first saw it, I asked her if Rolex was putting out Sub-Dates with customized/different dials and faces. She proceeded to tell me that this came out from the 2009 Basel show and that it was white-gold Sub-Date with the glidelock bracelet.

I didn't know these things were rare?

builtforspeed · 14 December 2008, 01:33 AM

I tried one on at an AD in Scottsdale, Arizona a few weeks ago. I can't remember the price, but I know it wasn't anywhere near $30K. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I liked it. If I were in the market for a precious metal sport watch, however, I'd prefer the YG GMT II with the green dial. That is a good looking watch!

Cheers,

Chris

$30,000 is Patek country so it's a no go for me.

Jocke · 14 December 2008, 02:38 AM

I saw a AD one day in the flesh, what about that?

Tay'Prince Russell · 16 December 2008, 06:12 AM

i dont c no gold on dis 1 G !!!1

Crazy Cajun · 16 December 2008, 06:23 AM

Hey a Raleigh poster! I'm just down the road.

I like the watch but can't cough up $30K for it. Make it in SS and I might take a look again.

I think that will be my next. A SS Sub C Date. It would rock this world if they came out with a Blue SS SubC in 2010

Does that Blue WG have a C bezel to it? It does doesnt it?

Tay'Prince your posts are very original, and you said it.

rbc · 16 December 2008, 07:39 AM

I agree with the previous posters; I've seen the new blue faced WG submariner at my AD and I believe they're widely available.

What AD has the guts to say that....Mayor's? Congress? What a ton of crap.

Rolexitis · 16 December 2008, 08:47 AM

At $30, 000 USD, I don't think we will see MANY in the wild.

buz-lh · 16 December 2008, 08:48 AM

I like my blue sub.

herfdude · 16 December 2008, 09:13 AM

I saw one at my AD two weeks ago.........

It was an inventory watch and available for purchase, not pre-sold to a customer

lawrenceb · 16 December 2008, 09:27 AM

Good looking watch in person, the blue does not seem to photograph well.

LDLemu4U · 14 January 2009, 06:01 PM

Saw them over the holidays at an AD here in Vancouver Canada. Does not impress me...would prefer the "Bluesy" TT over it.

MACRAME QUEENS · 16 December 2008, 09:50 AM

Have to agree with my boy TP here. Why pay so much for what looks like SS? In this case, gold truly is guud.

Singslinger · 16 December 2008, 04:46 PM

Saw one in the window at Dickson in Paragon Shopping Ctr in Singapore last week. Price tag wasn't visible though but I have to say the watch looked real nice!

eric23 · 16 December 2008, 09:52 AM

My AD has one I tried it on it looks great but I don't like the 30K Price tag.
