So with my new job being 3 blocks from the diamond district, I'm there everyday during lunch. This one store, just the display window alone, ANY Rolex you can think of, they have. I finally saw a YG YMII, (HUGE!!) Rose gold Daytona, meteorite Daytona, 4 DD II's lined up in a row, Yume's plat masterpiece, and the WG Sub among others.

The blue IS much better in person, but for that price, it looks too SS to me. Especially with the Submariner's history of being all SS, it really doesn't do it for me.

Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful piece, but for that $, I would definitely go with something else

I've never been in any of the shops there, but I've walked by them. Seemed a little shifty to me! Were they AD's or Grey Dealers?

Who had my Masterpiece!

But yes, the WG Sub is pretty nice in person.

That's funny I thought just the opposite about the blue on the new ceramic Submariner. I think it looks horrible and cheap in person, but only slightly bette in pictures. The old one with the deep blue on the TT models looks a lot better. Still the bottom line is Submariners should be black on black in stainless, no exceptions. Just like Seadwellers.

I don't think I have ever once read a thread complaining that someone could not get a Seadweller in TT or full gold. Why is that?

It's the same one where I got my bezel and was considering the Daytona or TT GMTII c, right on the corner of 47 and 6th, big flashing neon sign, can't miss it. They are gray dealers. I couldn't think of ANY model they didn't have-green Milgauss, Deepsea, at least 6 regular DD's, some with diamonds on the band and lugs, 3 YG DD II's and 1 plat DD II, Explorer's-white and black face, Plat YM, it's like a Rolex candy store
