Tried this beauty today…
I like it because it’s different from the steel model now I just need to decide if I like the submariner enough to buy the full gold version. Any thoughts on that reference?
Gorgeous
Especially paired well with jacket and shirt! For me, the Sub has to be steel. BUT if you are looking for a sporty WG watch , look no further !
Anytime my friend !
What were your initial impressions? Have you owned a Sub date / no date before?
I never owned any subs! I love the no date version of course but was not available when I went. This one was very heavy in a good way
One of my favorite watches. I wear it often..
As its stealthy when I want it to be but have the presence and weight of gold that lets me know it’s special.
Owned its predecessor the smurf for years and loved it
A 1x/ weekly or 1-2x/month wear for me. Agree with the comment here that the best aspects are the stealth + weight together. And of course the build quality is really impressive every time you put it on.
Well, I am a fan of the overall look — that blue bezel is special. But the price (!) and the date are a nonstarter for me.
Very cool watch!
Love this one a lot...love the blue and love the 'under the radar' aspect of this Sub. As you mention, lots of options for this price range...are you looking purchase new from an AD? I think they are under retail on secondary market. But in the end, buy what you love, it's a wonderful watch!
Yeah I noticed that after my visit I checked online a bit. The good news is for these gold version the secondary option are good for availability If I can't decide in time for the AD
Options are good
Yes, I did some research too and for sure an under retail watch on the secondary market....and available...always good to have options!
I absolutely love it.
I had the Smurf with “had” being the defining word 😁. I personally prefer this one. It flies under the radar as well.
I wear it quite often and I love it.
Doesn’t look like much(arguably), but always feel its presence on your wrist.
The “yeah… I got this” watch
The “yeah… I got this” watch
I too love the look and feel of this one. It's truly superb IMO
And having a heavy watch on the wrist is satisfying to the wearer IMO. People who aren't in "the know" think it's just a steel watch.
AFAIK, the no-date subs are only in SS, I believe.
In the real world, it seems that these WG models are priced best on the used market (if I am allowed to write that.)
So, if you are truly bitten by the bug for one of these, continue to check the numerous possibilities.

Yeah you’re right the gold reference are offered at a very fair value on the secondary
It looks good on you, I say go for it. But I’m prejudice when it comes to Rolex watches!
For me personally…
The weight would be an immediate killer criterium. But of that doesn’t bother you, go for it! Might be a bit of a conceptual challenge - being a good tool watch - but then again let’s not pretend that most are still used as tool watches, so all fine ������
