I always felt the Green Sub would be hugely collectible
because it is a transitional model that has elements of both 'new' and old--the Maxi dial with the old case, and the Green Bezel of course. It seems that it would be a very unusual model in the years to come.
They seem to be a bit soft in today's market so now's a good time to nab one. But it seems certain that in a year or two if not sooner, they will be discontinued and become serious rarities.
But I disagree that the RRRR ring will be more desirable. I think no RRR, no 'decoration' in keeping with the tool watch, but who knows... interesting discussion.

This is not a new watch to be launched, but as Rolex presents a new Submariner, will this one disappear from the catalogue??? Hommage to this Green Bezel Sub: Isn'it lovely? Best. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2008-04-02 08:03:30...
Wow, if it's the case,
This Green Sub will be a hit... It makes me laught, because except the 1st year of its launch, people were not in love with it..And now we'll see... Just curious, and a bit amused. Best. nicolas
A hit?
Mmmm... I am not sure my friend... But it's possible... I like the others ( in plexi ) plus vintage. For while... Take a care with you, Lobo. Ps. Pearhaps, in setember, I will be in Paris again. Depend$$$... Ps2. An other lunch on the "Grunf, rrrrr... " J...
If we consider these factors:
5 years production, a bit like the Red Sub. The new Maxi Dial, for this green, like the Red Sub. The last affordable Sub in size and thickness. This green bezel to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this mythical watch... Yep, it may be a hit... OOH Yes,...
it wont dissappear = it will get the same casing a ceramic bezel !
and remember its a "regular production model" ... Thanks, Randy
Even then...
If Rolex continues the LV with a ceramic bezel, the current version will be relatively rare. I believe that the LV with aluminum bezel with a 5 year run (if they discontinue in '09) will eventually have the same rarity of the red subs. The most rare versi...
Green Sub is one of the best keeper.
50th anniversary piece released but I still wonder why they are not so popular. I notice that the price in the secondary market has dropped a lot during the past years. Anyway, many watches (not only rolex) has its own value that can't judge from the $$$....
