Official Submariner and Seadweller thread!

My friend just came from Athen this month and she bought a sub C from the AD. After the 23% VAT refund, she paid Euro 5800.00.

That's a little bit steep. I was in Italy in DEC last year, the list price for SUB C was euro 6305. If u factor in the 14.5% tax rebate, it should be around 5400euro. However I may be wrong since I did heard rumour about price hike for Rolex..and just maybe different european countries have different price list. Anyway, hope your fren likes her watch, haha I remembered I paid cash SGD10.5k for my rolex gmt 2C when first launched.

I was told by my AD at THG that sub LV is selling at a premium of around 12.5k. No discount, they even sell higher than list price.

Do check with several ADs on pricing before purchase.

Yes, I saw one from THG Taka yesterday. list price is 11.4k, but as Rolex1 said, it's selling price is much higher.

Did sunnyday indicate the new Submariner LV?

I stand corrected but I thought he/she was referring to the old model 16610LV ... "still possible to get .."

To Mr sunnyday,

If you're referring to the older version (non-ceramic) I am not sure if the ADs here keep old stock for it but it may still be available somewhere. Only thing is, you'll have to walk around to enquire. I'm not too sure about the list price or discount but I reckon that it should be in the range of 9K if you can get one that is new from an AD.

To all DSSD owner,

May I ask how long does it take for your dssd to change date when it pass mid night?

For mine is 4min 50 sec after 12am. I just tracked it today after reading that for explorer 2 took about few secs to 2-3mins to change date after mid night.

How about for dssd?

Mine was about 35 seconds after 12...... funny I heard it click over next to me ( was off my wrist ) then picked it up and checked the time.

is it possible to differentiate a bezel whether it's ceramic or aluminum just by looking at it? i know the new sub LV has a green dial while the older sub LV has a black dial..but just wondering..the bezel looks pretty much similar to me..anything to take note or to observe?

[Oceanklassik]

Very obviously, yes. It is definitely possible to differentiate a bezel of ceramic (C) make vs steel (S), visually.

The C bezel tends to be glossy (shiny, polished look on the surface) while the S one looks matte. The numberings and markings on both the bezels are also different. Before I describe further, why not surf around the forum to look at the many pics posted by our good members here. You'll be able to understand clearly with pics.

[dark.magnet]

Hi Atomant, I think it's to do with the history and publicity of the sub vs sea dweller. Plus the fact that a helium escape valve seems redundant except for the most pro of deepsea divers/explorers. It's not amazingly innovative, so it doesn't have that trump factor over a regular sub except under extreme conditions.

If James Bond was sexy wearing just a sub, so should everyone else. Bear in mind that the deepsea is very chunky in the vertical plane, and for many, this is one watch too large.

the ceramic bezel on the sub C and dssd is definitely better than the old aluminum insert
apart from being scratch resistant and looks glossy, even the colored numbers that are painted onto the aluminum inserts are now platinum-powder-coated on the new ceramic bezel
a great improvement!

Is it worth upgrading from ss bezel model to ceramic bezel model? Price is quite a difference though.

[Dfive]

while sgd2,00 difference for all the above-mentioned upgrades is considered reasonable for the submariner, the sgd5,000 for the seadweller is rather substantial, plus the fact that not everyone can carry off the massive dssd well on the wrist

You don't carry it on your wrist bro.... the DSSD will carry you !!
