My new Submariner date...

[marcgti6]

Well, after months of decision making, I finally bought one. A brand new 116610 LV. To say I'm over the moon would be a bit of an understatement!

I couldn't decide where to spend my money but after trying one on I knew that I'd regret not getting the Sub. I was originally looking at the black dial/bezel but I'm glad I went green now. I love how the dial and bezel change colour in different light and when the watch is tilted at different angles. The whole look and feel of the watch is really impressive and the improvements that have been made to the bracelet/clasp are clear to see.

You only live once, don't you?!

Apologies for the poor photos - A lethal combination of my poor photography skills, low light and my iPhone!

Anyone else on here got one?

Very nice indeedy!

Good choice I've got the old LV and love the green..

Cheers chaps. I did seriously consider a pre-owned 16610 LV but after I saw mine in a local Rolex dealer, I couldn't stop myself!

I think I got a good deal on it, they also threw in a nice bottle of red and a Rolex umbrella, which I thought was a nice touch.

That's fantastic. I know the Sub gets a lot of stick but I think it is such a good looking watch. I will be getting one early next year and I am struggling to settle on the colour!

Do they? I have to say they are the only Rolex I've seen that I like, and I really like the green bezel, nice choice op

Cheers. Obviously, I'd recommend the green!

They look even better in the real world, photos don't do the dial and bezel any justice. Especially my photos anyway!

Very nice, they really are massive these days - my sub looks tiny as does my miligaus compared to those pics. I want.

Had mine for twenty years and still love it.

Great watch, personal preference is for the black but the green is a great look too.
