Discount on NEW SUBMARINER CERAMIC?
Discussion
What is it with Daytona? I just dont get it? There's no date on it and if anyone has actually used the tacho scale etc I'd be interested to hear.
Don't get me wrong I'm a big Rolex buff with a Day/Date and 16610 SubDate - the latter is ageing quite nicely and not really tempted by the ceramic replacement. To me a date function is more important.
I too can remember the 4-6 year waiting lists for Daytona (and the ridiculous overpricing by non AD) but now you see then in AD windows.
So for the subby ceramic give it a while.

It's the lugs that kill it for me. They're too broad and make the strap look weedy, which is a shame, because there's finally a clasp worthy of the name (and price) on the other side...Don't get me wrong I'm a big Rolex buff with a Day/Date and 16610 SubDate - the latter is ageing quite nicely and not really tempted by the ceramic replacement.

I agree. The lug to bracelet width looks odd. Surely it would have made sense for Rolex to move to a 22mm bracelet for the new Sub, GMT and Daytona?
I am also amazed at how much bigger the ceramic Sub looks despite the fact that both watches have a 40mm diameter (excl crown). The maxi dial, wider lugs and bigger crown horns work together to increase the apparent size.

Yup, this coupled with the big price increase on the new one promted me to bite the bullet back in April and buy a new old style 16610 Sub while I could (just) still find one in an AD.jshell said:

The Stainless steel version? Where would that be then? Torneau in NY wanted $15k for a 2004 model...

PS. I had one of the new Ceramic 116610LN's in this morning, and very nice it is too. The new bezel assembly, maxi dial and 'Glidelock' clasp really work well. It feels are really solid, well made piece. I didn't fancy the images, but in the 'flesh' it gets my vote..... Just my 2c.

So there is. I must admit that I haven't been into the PH watch classifieds for a little while. I was quite astonished to see this (in fact these) for sale. £16k!http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2011287.htm

Do you not think though, that this is a little de ja vu of the Milgauss. I mean, do you think in a year or two - you will be able to pop into any AD and buy one out of the window?964RS said:
