That's what I thought, but I still get lipstick on a pig comments.

I've worn it pretty much every day for over a year now and it never fails to delight. I work as a designer and iconic design is something that never goes out of style, whether it be a car, an item of clothing, a piece of furniture or a wrist watch. The Submariner is an iconic watch, probably the most recognised in the world and what a joy to wear. Problem is what do I get next? Having bought a Rolex nothing else will do. There are plenty of great watches out there but somehow they don't have the attraction of a Rolex to me. It'll have to be a Daytona I think or maybe a GMT or maybe a Deep Sea! What a problem! Does anyone have an opinion on which models pair together the best? A sub for the day time and a daytona for the evening perhaps??

Sub Date for Daytime and White dial SS Daytona for night.

Welll hello fellow anniversary sub owner. i myself took the plunge about 6 months ago and know what my next rollex will be.......Green glass milgauss. then a DJ then.....who knows.

As far as it being harder to match the green bezel to your wardrobe, i only buy green threads now, problem solved!

Happy days all.
