Great Watch Congrats.

Looks great, congrats

Congrats, the Sub-C is a very nice watch. I'm still enjoying mine. I also agree that the AR on the date was a huge under look improvement.

I agree 1000000x... the more I look at my Sub. I honestly don't see the huge deal with the lug. I don't think its that square. Obv a bit bigger, but not as squarish as some pics indicated.

Congrats and looks great! Just an opinion.. try wearing it a little further back on your arm just behind the ball on your wrist.

Enjoy!

Jibba · 4 February 2012, 02:35 AM

love it!

Feras · 4 February 2012, 02:42 AM

Wow, it looks perfect on your wrist, don't ever think of flipping it. Its rare that thise lugs fit perfectly on our wrists. WIIGH

I've always found this to be uncomfortable, and I've worn a watch daily since I was four years old. Keeping my watch in that position requires the bracelet to be much to tight for me to be comfortable. I like it just tight enough so it's not flopping around loosely like a bracelet (I hate that look). If I'm typing on the computer, like right now, it will slide into the position that you describe. If I stand up and walk around, it will have enough room to slide down past the head of the ulna, which I find very comfortable.

Yep...that's how I feel. I have never used the word feminine (for fear of the girlie backlash on TRF

); I just think the larger lugs give the SubC a more sporty, less dressy, look (something I think is a big improvement in a dive watch).

I hear ya on your Omega-to-Rolex experience. I, like you, am an Omega owner & fan and my first 'real watch' purchase was my SMP Chrono 10+ years ago. I think anyone that experienced Omega (and their top notch bracelets/clasps) prior to Rolex always have the same reaction we did - e.g. 'Are you kidding me with the Sub clasp?!?!'

The one thing I will say though is how I wish Omega would design a safety latch like Rolex. I am really rough on my watches and after about 3 yrs of ownership & constant wear of my SMP, I could get the clasp to pop open during rigorous activity. That's something that would NEVER happen w/ a Sub...regardless of how flimsy the grade of metal used may be.

fantastic looking on you.

tdegroot · 4 February 2012, 01:05 PM

Congrats, and I like that 14060M also.

Stonedcl · 4 February 2012, 02:19 PM

That's funny Matt because I had my heart and soul set on a 16610 because my wrist are also skinny and when I went to my ad they did not have a 116610 to try on but did have the sub no date and after putting it on I was also turned off by the bracelet and then tried on the gmt c and right there I said I need to get the 116610 .. Suck because I have enough to get a sub 16610 I have been saving for a year but now I need to save for a few more month for the extra $$ for the 116610 but I know it will be worth it in the end!!

You will not regret going the extra mile for a 116610. It is a completely different watch. I absolutely love it. Stay away from the dealer and go to the For Sale section here if price is a concern. I saved nearly $2k over what I would have paid at a local AD with no discount and tax added.

MortgageGuy · 4 February 2012, 03:21 PM
