Hi all. Is the submariner ceramic a special series or are all the sub nowadays are ceramic?

No, Subs are available in ceramic nowadays.

My 1st rolex

Congrats for your new purchase.

[rollie fan]

why are you selling?

[Adeipho]

Any Rolex gurus here willing to help authenticate a submariner by pictures? Can pm me and I will send the pictures to you! Or can I just post here?

[edsim]

I think it's best that you send it over to RSC for authentication... for your own piece of mind.

To bro Horriblesars,

Ya, like bro skydweller had mentioned in the above sentence. Having a date or no date does make a different in price for the two subs in the question.

sorry, noob here... so is the D more expensive?

the more i compare the dssd and gmt2c with the sub c, the more i feel that submariner is quickly losing its flagship status

truth is, the new sub c case lugs looks too squarish, with a weird proportion for the crown protectors size
it looks too much like the gmt2c without its own identity
the new squarish shape departs from the beautiful streamline design of the sub 16610 and seadweller 16660 quite substantially

on top of that, rolex made the gmt2c so similar to a submariner (bigger crown), that the former is actually now more popular than its big brother - of course, with the addition of bling factor (center polished links, large bezel index) and gmt hand, i guess rolex sells more gmt2c than sub c - just a guess

the dssd, on the other hand, is designed more closely to the 16610 and 16660 classic shape
the proportions of the lugs, crown protector, crown, case thickness are much better compared to the squarish sub c and gmt2c

i feel the magnifying glass above the date is also losing its appeal, looks rather old fashioned and outdated
dssd without the magnifying glass looks cleaner

now i know why the dssd and the daytona are priced the highest among all rolex sports models

[dreamer23]

Maybe some prefer the retro feel w the magnifying glass above the date

[DJNellaf]

I personally prefer the sub with no date. More youthful looking and subtle.

Preference between GMT2 and Submariner depends on whether you need second time zone or waterproofing. Nothing much else to separate the two.

As for DSSD, it's just too heavy and large for normal use.

[skydweller_sg]

not everyone can carry the dssd well
but if you could, it outshines the gmt2c and sub c as a sports watch, hands-down

Hi guys, I'm new here.. just got a pre-own sub. It is a transition model 16803. There seems to be very little information about this model.. was wondering if anyone of you can help.
