Anyone know the list price of the new Sub with the ceramic bezel? Has it been announced yet?
James.

Yep.

£4,610 for the black ceramic bezel (116610 LN)
£4,910 for the green ceramic bezel/dial (116610 LV)

Happy to stand corrected, Dom! As I said, didn't realise UK pricing had been released.
That's errrr quite strong pricing!
I tried on (and nearly bought; maybe I'll regret that!) a 16610LV in an AD about 3/4 weeks ago, that was £3870 (I think). That makes the new one look bloody expensive!! Not to mention the fact the new LV is hideous!

Feck me....that's an extra 800 odd notes over the existing (and IMHO) much nicer outgoing model.

I'm glad I took the plunge and bought the 16610 I was able to track down in an AD last week...even having to pay list for it.

LB, I think you may kick yourself for not getting that LV, especially at that discounted price as they list at £4070.

Crikey, Rolex prices seem to have rocketed in recent years. I'm sure I paid £2,790 or thereabouts for my LV a few years back. If only my daily rate had increased by the same amount!

Definitely, the new LV is not a looker. Certainly don't see it being as popular as the current one.

I was surprised at the price as it was at Ernest Jones... I can't imagine they were selling at below list, unless there has been a very recent price-rise?

No, I believe the LV has been listed at £4070 for quite a while now.

£3800-and-something is the list price for the standard 16610.

[LukeBird]

Hmmm interesting... it was either £3820 or £3870.
May have to pop back and see if they still have one....!!
It definitely was an LV as well, because they only had two of the new ceramic Sub's in stock as well. The LV was the only 'older' one left.

The green bezel tends to be the giveaway clue as to it being definately a LV

£3820 is the list for the 16610.
£4070 is the list for the 16610LV.

They'd probably put the wrong watch on the stand, ie. placed the watch on a stand normally showing a black Sub date.

[LukeBird]

^^ I was just thinking that.
Interesting if they'd followed through with the price, based on the fact I looked at the deal based on that price.

I still can't get over Rolex hiking the price for the new 'ugly' Sub by an astonishing 21%.....

[LukeBird]

Me neither... there are plenty of other watches I would sooner spend £5k on. There are plenty of 'better' watches at that price point IMO. Dangerously close in price to the DSSD as well, no?

I'd best get saving and get an SD bought.

When I was in the AD last Saturday buying the 16610, the sales girl was saying how many customers came in trying to get a SD when it was discontinued, but by then there were very few new left in AD stock anywhere.
That's why after drawing a blank with a number of AD's, when this one was able to track down one of the last 16610 for me, I wasn't going to pass on it - even though it probably wasn't the sensible decision given I'm only a few weeks away from being jobless

[LukeBird]

I know exactly what you mean.
Dom has one (an SD) in at the moment, I really, really want to just say "yes" and get it on my wrist!!
