First post in several years, but feel I can offer some insight based on some pretty intense use of a Herman Miller Aeron. I've had one for several years and use it a LOT. Since lockdown I have been...
Great review, thank you, enjoyed reading that. Very informative and fab pictures so thank you for the time it must have taken to put it together.
I am by chance wearing my Colt Auto this morning...

Don't know about the value going up, but admiring mine in the lovely Yorkshire sunshine this morning I now am...
Spent a couple of months with a 16610 and then bought a GMT IIc LN.
Liked wearing the 16610 on a NATO (which I can't see myself doing with the GMT for some reason), the bezel was more useful that...
Having looked at the watch box:
- Legible at a quick glance
- Reasonably symmetrical dial (don't mind a date; don't want a GS style power reserve)
- Micro-adjust on the bracelet
- Classic...
Had a similar experience with my March 2015 SDc. +5 new, then still +4 after 1st regulation. For the next attempt I wrote a letter to RSC explaining exactly what I was dissatisfied with and what I...
Very nice. I went out looking for for a DJ in September (jubilee, fluted, white dial, batons) and came home with a GMT LN. Personally prefer the more classic look over the BLNR. Congrats!
1. Trying to rationalise a decision to buy an expensive new watch in terms of economics - savings on servicing of others I sold, increase in RRP over time, etc. Should have saved the brain power:...
I think it was introduced at Basel 2014, so March of that year, and was available in UK dealers summer 2014 I believe. Agree with the comparison to the Sub shape. I tried on a Sub ND and SDc back...
Cavendish jewellers in Stonegate in York had a Hulk yesterday at £5,850 for a 2011 model. Only viewed through the window so didn't get a good sense of condition but looked fine. Cheaper than the...
My Sep16 GMTc has run at -0.1s/d over the 41 days I've had it. Amazed by the accuracy. Very little positional variation. Tried dial down for the first time over the last day and runs a bit faster...
SDc was my first Rolex. Actually buying a second recently (GMTiic LN) has made me appreciate the differences with the SDc more. For example, I didn't really appreciate the matt dial of the SDc as...
Leeds ADs today had an SDc and a couple of Milgauss. Didn't see a single SS Sub or GMT (there was one TT GMT). Watchfinder in the Victoria Quarter had a 6 year old Hulk up at £6500 and a couple of...
Mar 2015 SDc (having been sent to RSC for regulation) ran at +4 s/d last time I checked. Sep 2016 GMTiic currently running at -0.2s/d. So on this extensive sampling of 2, the post +/-2 model is...
A very interesting and enjoyable read, thank you for posting the story / photos. Great looking watch. My SD + 2nd Rolex were both new, but after recently borrowing a pal's 1999 Sub and sticking it...
Agree with this. As previously posted, was in the Harrogate AD at end August and they had one Sub ND (no other SS though). Went into my AD in York two weeks ago and they had an SDc (I've already...
Sorry, the "three" was a typo. Auto-correct! Thanks for the explanation. Very interesting - not seen that before. Can definitely see the benefit over hacking - which I sometimes find slightly...
Thanks very much for the write up which was an interesting read over the morning coffee. Thanks for all the details you shared - even though it's not a watch I could ever wear, lots of interesting...
Fraser Hart York told me that they received one GMT BLNR and one GMT LN yesterday. The BLNR went to a customer on their wait list. The LN I bought this afternoon. They did not receive any Subs at...
Just in Fraser Hart in York now. They've got an SDc and a DSSD but no other SS sport models. They did get one GMT black bezel yesterday and apparently have had a number of phone calls about it. It...
I bought the SDc first, but recently borrowed a pre-ceramic Sub date (similar case shape to the SD) and tried a ceramic Sub (again) this week. IMHO the SDc has all the benefits of the latest updates...
I am going to say SDc. Looks like mine with the lume bouncing off the raised crystal.
Edit: but now I can see the "Sub...." so perhaps not....
I know it's a bit late but the AD in Harrogate (A. Fattorini on Parliament Street) had a ND Sub on Tuesday. Wasn't in the window - I went in and asked and this was the only SS Sports they had.
Hi OP, sorry to hear what has happened and hope you get it sorted out by your AD. I never felt confident about getting my B-1 wet. The 50M rating + the (very pretty) turbine case back were the...
I'm an owner too. Love it (buy one OP!). I borrowed a pre-ceramic Sub recently and loved it because the lugs are like my SDc; don't like the case on the newer Sub at all). Re the changes, not sure...
