Official Submariner and Seadweller thread!

[clokwerk oranje]

correction, the 116610LN & 116610LV were introduced at Baselworld 2010...

the watches you mentioned are regular production models... so if you're expecting a multifold ROI in 10, 20 years time, look elsewhere... only buy it to enjoy it...

IIRC, you are not wrong. The first ceramic-bezeled Submariner first came out in 2009 ('V' series) in the stainless steel(ss)+gold version. The full ss version was only introduced a year later. Whether will it be a 'collectible' in the years to come is anybody's guess. Just like any other (more current) ROLEX models.

You should go for the watch that you like best and not whether it will become a 'collectible' or not. Someone here has posted some very good 'guidelines' of sort for buying and collecting watches. Search for the nick "striker968". Read them up.

Some question on collectivity

Hi all,

I am a newbie here but this forum had provided heaps of useful informations. Thanks.

I have a question here:
Is the ceramic stainless steel submariner first produced in year 2010?
If yes, would it be more collectable say 10 to 20 years later? Just like the
green sub that is first introduced in 2003 for its 50th anniversary? That would be
more sought after better than the other years green sub?

I love the new sub with the new features but also like the gmt iic, quite a dilemma.

Hi all,
Am a newbie here but had gain heaps of knowlegde from all shi fu here.

I have a question about the new ceramic submariner (stainless steel one). Is the ceramic version for the stainless steel one out in year 2010? If yes, would the piece in 2010 be more collectible say in 10 or 20 years time? Just like the green sub that is produced in 2003 for its 50th anniversary?

Like the new sub because of its enhancement but am also swaying to gmt iic because of the loudness.

Itching for a v-serial NDsub

Whats the indicative price like?

I have had problem with my watch, complained to rsc before, during warranty period. Out of 3, 2 never arise. One surface few days ago. If i were to bring it to rsc, will they charge me for it as it's out of warranty for 2 months since 2 years.

Occasionally, each time when i want to wear my watch i would unscrew the crown, crown pops out, i wind it up for about 30 or more rounds, i will pull out the crown to the last position to wind and set the time. But sometimes i just can't pull it out smoothly. As if cannot pull out. Once i pulled it out doesn't have the click to lock on third pos, as i hold on the crown on third pos hoping it would locked, but second hand move. I pressed it back, turned few more rounds pulled it out, able to pull. Is this normal?

I did have a knock on the crystal, but i don't think my sub so fragile. I thought of bring it to them to check on monday. Is not the first time i told them this problem. I think if i go back on monday it would be 3rd time i telling them the same thing.

To be honest it is quite ridiculous to get a hulk at that price! So obviously it can't be in SGD.

Even if you do can find one ... something is not right! Not that price for a green c sub now.

[damienloh]

I think it's good to have more trusted alternative other than RSC. I just wondering where they got their original parts.
