Gentlemen,
I'm thinking of purchasing a new Sub C. I'm down to only a ss Daytona. I sold my SD and miss it. But I don't miss the hollow links and stamped clasp.
I've never seen a Sub C in person. Does it have solid links, is it heavy, does it have the blue spring movement? What else do I need to know? Will I feel like James
Bond if I wear it with a tux and
drive a vintage Aston Martin?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, it has SEL, has the new Glidelock bracelet, much improved overall, and I think best Sub to date.

Don't know what you will feel like, but if you are driving an Aston who cares

Yes it is a heavy sport watch compared to past models that is for sure. It does come with a blue hairspring. to a add to texes91

It not only has SEL, but it also has solid center links throughout the entire bracelet. It is the epitome of the modern sport Rolex and you will not be disappointed.

Thanks fellas!
Btw- I don't drive an Aston but would like to feel like I'm in one when wearing a new Sub when I drive my suv with a car seat, toys and sippy cups rolling around!

SubC will not disappoint.

Heavy is realitive.

It's a tad heavier because of the slightly bigger case, SEL, and improved clasp.

I can notice a difference between my GMTIIC and 16610LV for example.

Sub C is a very comfortable watch to wear every day. Try one on; and I'm confident you'll agree.

It's a VERY finely built watch. The bracelet is more than superb, extremely solid and high quality all the way down to the clasp. I don't know if it's heavier than you Sea Dweller, if that's what you are referring to (or sub date). It does have the blue hairspring which supposedly gives it more accurate timing overall. Also, you have to see it in person, pictures DO NOT do the sub-c justice, the dial is JET GLOSS BLACK which really looks awesome when you look at the watch head-on, and the bezel is too good to be true!

I like everything about it except for the thicker lugs.....the bracelet is a great upgrade from the previous version.
