Blue sub = white gold. It cant be any other way.

Blues are for gold.

Too late now, but IMO, they would have sold many more total Sub units if Rolex had

1) reserved green cremaic bezel/ green dial for their WG Sub, since green is their iconic color and so it should have been saved for their most expensive model ( and the warmer tone of WG vs SS would have looked smashing with warmer green ) ..so that ...

2) they could have released a SS Smurf ( instead of the Hulk ) at the $9k price point, with the SS black one slightly less, as is the case now.

After all, a watch that is built for the WATER should be more affordable in BLUE than golf course
GREEN !

if tomorrow rolex rolex makes a blue dial and bezel available for your stainless steel but charges you 3000 $ how many people who have subs would buy it ? i think that rolex could make a lot of money that way

"Why doesn't Rolex". If I had a dime for every time that phrase is said. If Rolex changed their line up and listened to what people say, they would be like Omega and Seiko.

The blue looks too good for SS or they would rather have you buy the WG model.

kilyung · 21 October 2013, 06:32 AM

The blue sub is such a great versatile piece. I love it.

Maybe Tudor will make one

That would make a lot of sense, in my mind. Especially as they are apparently going to have a presence in the US shortly

Tudor is already here, though I'd imagine they will still be adding dealers to the system.

I like your logic but don't think Rolex share it! I do think they have got it right by reserving the blue/smurf for a white gold piece. If it was available in stainless steel then it would be too common and they already have a few of those. Surely many (granted, not all) people buy into the Rolex brand in the first place because they want something unique on their wrist, so keep the unique pieces in gold/platinum in the line up. AM.
