Ordinary SS Sub, Will it have Ceramic?

Or is it just the all gold models?

My guess is if its not ceramic now, it will be next year

And for the record, I am not commenting on the new blue until I see it in the flesh!

I think that next year we are going to see the TT sub and after that we are going to see the SS ceramic sub. I think that rolex will follow the same strategy just like when they released the ceramic GMT's.

I think that the SS ceramic sub will look nice

Guys make sure to buy an SS sub in a two years period

You are going to miss it trust me you are going to miss it

I have to buy one too

If rolex uses the same strategy that used for the GMT II C then we have 2 years available

I know that it is in production cause i saw one yesterday that has a newer serial than my watch.

I am going to be 100% sure that it is in production if rolex changes from M series to the next letter and if i then find an old style GMT with the a new series letter then i'll be sure 100% that it's still in production JMO

There must be SS Sub ceramic,and I guess that something like that will happen sooner than we thought.

You're saying that the SS Sub will stop in production? Or are you saying that the Sub in general is going to halt on production?

The old style SS sub date will be discontinued if they introduce a new SS ceramic sub just like with the older GMT's

I believe Frostie is right; with this rationale, I am buying soon a GMT-II before it is lost from the market and will get a SS Sub sometime in the next couple of years.

I agree with you two! The 16610 has a much better appearance than the new Sub! Only I'm not going to miss it 'cause I got one a while back, and no way will I turn it loose! There may be additions, but the original style rules JMHO!
