The Submariner is also the same size as the GMT at 40mm. But the Sub C's bezel is cleaner and less cluttered than GMT's.

I have the Sub C and bought it because it looks less cluttered than the GMT.

My Sub.

can't see your image though

Eying on the ND sub & hulk. 3 favs at the moment including the GMT BLNR.

Am actually surprised at how small it looked on the wrist as compared to pictures

Didn't even get to move the bezel on the GMT as they wrapped it like a subway sandwhich

Do it lah. As long as you are not some preowned watch Dealer trying to berlagak with pictures of shoik sendiri wearing their own stock, I am happy to see more pictures of Rolex and Omega.

I have caught quite a few preowned watch dealers who brazenly take wristshots of expensive watches and post them on the watch forums.

Kinda like a used car salesman taking pictures of himself inside luxury cars that he is selling.

A few years ago, I saw my neighbor's daughter dating a man who drives a different luxury car every time I see him in our neighborhood. So one day, during a casual conversation with my neighbor, I asked the mom about her daughter's boyfriend.

Apparently, he is a used car salesman who drives different car to see her because he wanted to impress her and also because the cars need to have their engines warmed up.

Not long after, the guy stopped coming as I guess the parents didn't approve. But the guy probably already piap piap the girl so he doesn't care.

Moral of the story : looks can be deceiving..

I wouldn't blame him if the car really needs to be warmed up but if he has the intention of "impressing" then it ain't good. Rule of thumb is to always be humble.

Same goes to watch, wearing it to wind up the movement a little (without wanting to use a watch winder) is alright, but motive to show off then sama je not good.

The problem is mostly peer pressure. These guys think that by showcasing their stock from their shop, they can get some ego boost.

But once they get caught by eagle eye forumers, their credibility goes out the window.

Exactly. I see kids doing that all the time on Instagram, flashing up daddy's toy

But hey, who am I to judge, he could've worked hard for it

Just curious, what product you guys used to polish your Rolex bracelet & how often you polish it? Currently I'm using this product from US known as Cape Cod polishing cloth. For me generally I will just leave the scratches on the time piece as I believe it will signify my character, then if it longer shine or too much scratches then I will start polishing it.

afaik cape cod shouldn't be used with brushed steel, only on polished steel

so depending on which rolex bracelet you have, might wanna switch it up

14060m is quite rare, especially that it's in NOS condition.

But I do agree that the price is a little bit ridiculous

What's the difference between sub C and new 2016 sub? AFAIK the sub C was introduced in 2012 with ceramic bezels among others and that's the latest "facelift" to the sub series..

There's no new "facelift" after 2012...

Rolex actually did do some minor changes to the dial. It could be 2016. however the changes are very minor.

So the top is the supposedly old one and new one is at the bottom?

When u said crown, is it the screwing crown or the Rolex crown on the dial?

Bottom is the new one. If I'm not mistaken, there's also a "facelift" for the Hulk 116610LV as well.

Rolex crown on the dial

Yeah, it's the same price as the normal Black bays. Problem is if you can get one  doh.gif

More hulk poison for you?

Also just got my Submariner book from Mondani. Got a complementary bracelet which I doubt I would wear. Not good to wear on the watch wrist anyway, I can't imagine all the scratches from bangles, bracelets and beads.  vmad.gif

Amazing how the hulk's sunburst dial react to different lighting. Almost black dial for the first pic and yet flashy sunburst in the rest

Amazing piece
