Adding a 5 digits to a collection

[Carrera_2]

I am thinking about chasing after a Submariner from the early 2000 to compliment my soon to come ceramic Submariner with date. There is lots of it around without boxes and papers, should I better off waited a bit longer and go after one that come with everything ? I am NOT planning to sell it.

If not selling, it's more important to buy the buyer vs. having a full set.

If I may ask, why another Sub while you have a Sub incoming?

If you already have a SubC coming, get a 16600 SeaDweller.

Personally I’d add a 16710 so you have a gmt and a sub.

The incoming sub is a ceramic, but I kinda liked the look of a 5 digits too.

Sounds like good advice. The 16710 pretty much does everything that the Sub does, for most people.

Does your SubC know how lonely it will be?

If you are going 5 digits might as well get the best and make sure it has drilled lugs!

I’m partial to this one:



Or make use of those drilled lugs

Although I love the 16710, a 16570 in white would add contrast and also be a gmt.

Just got a 5 digit a few weeks ago. They wear incredibly well. Much sleeker than the current Ceramic references.

If your incoming SubC is a date, get a 5 digit with no date or get a GMT. Drilled lugs. Leather strap.

I cant believe we are calling these "5 digits" now

I prefer the proportions of the five digit references.

Nice choice!

How would you differentiate between the different generations? I think 4/5/6 digit is the most easy and accurate way.
