    New Arrival - wearing a green jacket

    I never had much regard for these "Green Subs" in fact I positively disliked them when they first came out. I thought it was another example of Rolex milking a product, creating a false economy by limiting the supply and going way overboard on the colour green.

    However as we all know, our tastes change considerably over time. What you hate expends so much energy, that the energy has nowhere left to go and eventually converts itself into love, which is exactly what happened here. I first started getting the hots for this watch around 4 or 5 months ago. After looking around I managed to snap this one up. I simply love it 8)

    Obligitory pictures.....

    I love those. The green bezel looks gorgeous and the maxi dial suits it perfectly. Best of all modern Subs, for me.

    Congratulations

    It just seem to work, the more I tried to convince myself of all the reasons to dislike it, the more it grew on me too :D

    Cheers

    I know the feeling - in a couple of weeks I'm picking up it's younger chubbier brother.
    The LVs are growers - I won't be getting a 16610 anytime, but I have grown to like them too - on others, and then the 116610 LV held no interest when it came out, and each time I saw one it wore me down, and then I had to have one.
    Congratulations!

    Beauty, congratulations. My favourite Sub/SD of it's generation. I'm sitting here with my 16600 on wondering if it should go to fund a third LV (first was stolen, 2nd was sold to fund an LVc).

    Re: New Arrival - wearing a green jacket

    A friend of mine informed me that he was to get one, I took so much time in trying to get him to change his mind and after even lied to him once he had purchased it, saying that i like it.

    I then tried it on and cannot understand what happened but as you touched on the hate/dislike, call it what you will instantly turned to love.

    Congratulations

    There is no doubt about that watch from a distance. One of the great things about it. If you are going to wear a watch, it ought to be one that is recognized for its design success.

    Great watch, would love one to live along side my 16613. Just need to justify it ahead of so many others first !
