What are the general thoughts on gold/steel Sub?

I have recently consolidated my watch collection. Got offered what I paid for my Planet Ocean, sold a few of the cheaper older stuff that just doesn't get worn and my old man took my GMT off me - which was bought in a drunken haze.
As such, the only real watch that I have that still goes near my wrist is my Tag Carrera 40th Anniversary Legend and that has a rubber strap - so not perfect for every occasion.
So I want a new watch and to spend some of the proceeds.
Needs to be on a bracelet. I think it needs to be a Rolex too. Wearing a Rolex is like an occasion in itself, it just looks great.
But is the above too 'bling'. It needs to be something I am 100% set on as I won't be changing for a while. So it's this is something like http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/1102084.htm which is much simpler.

Nothing wrong with a bi-metal sub, I wear mine every day. If you go for one get the blue face (like the one you've linked to) the black face looks cheaper imho. When I bought mine I was lucky enough to be able to compare the blue and black side by side and had no doubts that the blue faced watch was coming home with me.
As said above, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you like it buy it. It's you who will be looking at it every day.

A guy in my office has one and it looks a bit dated to my eyes. Mind you, his is battered to bits which may affect my judgement!
Personally, I'd go single metal these days, but as the others have said you have to buy what you like and not worry what other people think. If you like it, buy it.

I have had blue face bimetal sub for about 2 years and are just thinking of a change to a GMT or sea dwellar,got it because I liked the gold and to replace my gold datjust,which I put on a leather strap,
just an ideal and I have never seen bimetal sub on leather or anyother type of strap,any one out there done got one?

Is that the Carrera Jack Heuer 40th anniversary limited edition you have? Great watch if it isYes. See link above. I really like it but the rubber strap means its not suitable all the time. I would like to source a nice leather strap for it. So if anyone has any ideas on that I would be keen to listen.
