Keeping safe queens just doesn't make sense for me anymore so I made the decision to part ways with my SS Daytona & TT Blue Sub. Never wore either of them much so the goodbye was pretty easy........especially when the SS Sub C arrived to join my GMT Pepsi.

z0mghenry · 2 May 2011, 02:40 AM

Nice pair!

Speed · 2 May 2011, 02:42 AM

Is it joining you on your wrist...or in your safe?

HDHNTER · 2 May 2011, 02:47 AM

The Sub C will not be leaving my wrist for a long time. The GMT is pulling safe duty now (3186 & versatility is saving it from sale). Love this Sub like no watch before.

dddrees · 2 May 2011, 03:42 AM

Makles no sense to keep it to me if it just sits in the safe.

Great Choice, Congrats.

barters · 2 May 2011, 03:58 AM

Would love to know why you never favoured your Daytona.

spuds · 2 May 2011, 03:59 AM

Good call I reckon!

I did the opposite, trading in my coke 16710 + cash for a daytona, everybodies taste is different

The chase for me was more fun than the catch.

Good choice

mjm800 · 2 May 2011, 04:22 AM

If you never wear them then yes it's better to part ways. Good choice!

speedo · 2 May 2011, 04:31 AM

Nice pair! A modern and a classic classic. You'll love the sub.

Art 1 · 2 May 2011, 04:37 AM

Nice pair.

Annabell · 2 May 2011, 04:50 AM

I don't blame you.

I have been downsizing to put away cash for the zombie attack (kidding, but not so much....)

I am down to two...a 1665 sea dweller and 1675 GMT and still 5k short of goal. Will probabaly sell and get something modern like a Sub C or LV and get out of the game until the economy improves.

colpol · 2 May 2011, 05:48 AM

You can't go wrong with those 2 ! Good choice

psv · 2 May 2011, 05:49 AM

That is a good pair right there.

CoopJr · 2 May 2011, 05:58 AM

They compliment each other well.

MortgageGuy · 2 May 2011, 06:10 AM

Great pair

IMHO 2-3 is the perfect number of watches to own if you are wearing them like me

karmatp · 2 May 2011, 06:16 AM

Fantastic combo, enjoy.

Watchdog · 2 May 2011, 06:18 AM

youngr · 2 May 2011, 06:18 AM

great pair

kcmo · 2 May 2011, 07:07 AM

Hey Allen!

Nice to hear from you again. I knew the GMT was always your fave

Congrats on the Sub. Definitely agree with you that there's no sense in keeping a watch that just doesn't get worn.

For me, TWO is the perfect number

Enjoy yours!

jimbones43 · 2 May 2011, 08:29 AM

I'm going to hijack this thread because the OP's picture perfectly shows how Rolex blew it with the shoulders on the new Sub C's as well as the GMTIIC.

Before you shoot me I will state that both the SubC and GMTIIC are beauties IMHO and my complaint would not prevent me owing the Sub C someday ......but......

yes the dreaded but...............

If Rolex HAD JUST rounded off the shoulders were the case meets the bracelet... oh how soooo perfect the watch would be. You can clearly see on the GMT in the photo how the taper is perfect.

I know this has been talked about ad nauseam but after seeing the photo I had to comment....

Comments????

Flame suit on.....

Michael M. · 2 May 2011, 11:38 AM

Very nice duo, congrats on the SubC!

bewithabob · 2 May 2011, 12:11 PM

But than what do you wear the other 4 or 5 days of the week?

applebook · 2 May 2011, 03:18 PM

Slick.

I would've kept the Daytona too though :)

CPTL · 2 May 2011, 04:19 PM

Those are two great watches!!

Two is the perfect number for everyday...plus a special piece that you only pull out of the case on special occasions.

travisb · 2 May 2011, 07:10 PM

If your not wearing them it's best to let them go..

The SubC goes great with that GMT!
