Nice post. I never saw all green Rolex Sub in the real.
I have to say that I didn't pay any consideration to it, be honest.
But your pictures are making me re considering my position.
I don't know if it will be enough to make me want to get one, but at least I will see one in the flesh.
Which is a good start!
The Green of the dial doesn't look that weird, on your photos.
Thanks for the share!
Best,
Nicolas.

I know a few guys who...

...and I ll show you mine and you can try on your wrists! I ll be delighted! Cordial regards from the Pampas! Abel.
the dial is actually a bit of a "chameleon" to be honest...
depending on the lighting conditions and angle of the watch. the green dial can actually look like a black dial. a bit of a "chameleon" to be honest. A few others thought it was a black dial from a distance till they came up close and had a look to realis...
The "LUME" (illumination) shot in total darkness....
this is what the watch looks like in total darkness. The lume has been charged by shining a diving torch over it for a few moments (Underwater Kinetics eLED light cannon, 825lumens, 10 seconds) Rolex Submariner illumination shot (blue!) You can see that t...
thanks amanico, the lume on the Sub is Rolex's own Chromalight
Chromalight is exclusive to Rolex and its relationship to SuperLuminova is unknown to me. However, i have noticed the “Swiss Made” designation on the dial is still the same so it is assumed that it is a form of LumiNova? No? but it is very bright indeed. ...

Mine says Hello!! to your beautiful Ceramic Green Sub!! Completely agree with you, that the green dial "plays" with light (daylight, idoors, etc.) showing different shades, and getting close to black sometimes. That makes for a very interesting dial, and ...
