GMTIIc vs SUB c vs SUB LV c (And some say Teh-C)

[whiteangle74]

You all very poetic le...

Personally I feel that the current (premium) prices of the Submariner C, be it the LV or standard version, are way too high. I remembered the GMTII C entered the market with a "BANG" too, like around $11k+, when it was only retailing at $9.5k+. Over time, the price got soft and some might have even got it a a discount. Private dealers are selling new ones @$8k+ now.

So this begs the questions: Are you willing to pay $10k (or above) for the new Submariner models? Say for example, you are asked to choose between a GMTII C and a Submariner C (black), both new, and priced equally, which is more worthy to acquire?

One man's meat is another man's poison.....

this is pretty interesting. when I compare with overseas forums, it seems that the Sub C Black is more popular as compared to the Sub C LV.

Same as white dial vs black dials in Asian vs Overseas.

Wonder is it we asians prefer something that garners more attention

I don't think so. Do you think the ang-mohs prefer less attention? But I have to acknowledge though that, we Asians, are more superstitious. When some of my (older) Chinese friends and acquaintances saw the new green "hulk", they shudder in disgust and said, "green face is like work until face turns green" (means one keeps slogging to earn a living).. . And they also believed that watches in white dials are inauspicious, in that, you "bak lou" (Cantonese), or "bai lau" (Chinese) = "work for nothing" (this means bad, especially for businessmen).. .

...maybe count $$$ until meng cheh cheh..

But seriously, i did try on the SubC date few days ago...honest to goodness, it doesnt really look much difference from the normal Sub. Putting it side by side with my SD, shine and gloss from the ceramic model makes no difference...plus the lug is so much wider, makes the bracelet looks skinny.

The SubC LV is more appealing, I have to say.

AD's advise: Buy a Sub LV becos it has been discontinued since SubC LV will always be around from now..., the list price for normal Sub LV has dropped by the way. Its no longer 9K plus.

I'm in the market looking for a day-to-day watch and I personally like the SubC. It has a more timeless look compared to the other two. Don't like green, so the LV is out; don't like the noiser besel on the GMT, so that's out as well...

The only problem I have is the "premium" price. One local AD has one, but selling at 12.5k, saying is a demand-supply thingy... I find that silly to be honest. If the list-price is 12.5k, I'll bite... but a "premium"? I'll wait ...
