Question for all 5-digit submariner owners
Would value the opinions here. Thanks in advance for any help.
I bought the current iteration BLRO in 2018. I wore it quite a lot in 2019 and 2020, but as they say, tastes change. I’ve always found the watch to be big, bulky, and certainly loud. A few years ago I didn’t mind that. But with the popularity of Rolex and all the hype it brings, I’m not sure I can do with the PCLs and ceramic bezels anymore. Just not my speed if that makes sense. I’m considering swapping my BLRO for a NOS 5-digit green bezel submariner. I own a Tudor 79090 and love the way it wears. Compact, not bulky, and not nearly as bright as a BLRO. I was told 5-digit subs wear very close to the same. On paper, it seems like the 5-digit green sub checks all boxes. Better case proportions, not as bright (albeit still green!), maxi plots, plus it was a significant anniversary model which is really cool to me. Would anyone here mind to chime in? I value any and all opinions. Only thing I’m not overly keen on discussing is $$. I buy watches with the intention of holding and enjoying every day. Investments are with Vanguard. Appreciate any perspectives on the matter. |
