I generally like the new Sub...the super case is growing on me a bit. However, no real "blow me away" surprises so far. Not that I expected many.

BTW, nice to see some TRF members who have not been around for a while!!!

I prefer the traditional LV. The SS black is as we thought. Shame no red writing on the dial.
Still prefer the DSSD.

I just fell in deep love with my current LV Sub. The new green Sub has to much green.

I'm with you on that one Peter. Wearing my LV right now and just smiling.

Love the Deepsea by the way. Are you going to get one?

The new Black Sub is as we expected and as such will carry on a great tradition.

I'm sure the green version will find it's place. I would have liked to see a blue version in SS but......

Personally I think we're looking at a much different green diver than the 16610LV. I think in time the old will do quite well.

My sentiments exactly. Other than my desire for a GV Milgauss, the new ceramics do nothing for me.

Will the green come in gold bracelet? That might be interesting.

Wear this watch on St. Pattys day no one will pinch you. You can see the green from miles away. Ouch hurts the eyes.

IMHO, the green on green looks pretty good.

Huge benefit of Basel 2010 is the possibility to combine:

1. GMT II-c with new sub bracelet (brushed links and glidelock)
2. Black dialed ceramic sub with new green bezel

I'm wearing my LV today for St. Paddy's. The new LV I'd have to see in person. Right now it looks like way to much green for daily wear.
