Rolex

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:

Take a care with you, Lobo.

Ps2. An other lunch on the "Grunf, rrrrr... " Je, je, je... Do you remember this?

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, I remember at the restaurant this odd guy : " Herrrrrrrm, groink, gorink, some more wine, herrrrm, arrrh arrrh"...LMAO

Hope to see you soon, my friend.

Best.

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 version will be the M series with the ROLEXROLEXROLEX, which will have had an even shorter production run.

I personally believe that the green bezel will be discontinued once the stainless Sub transitions to a ceramic bezel. 

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.

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 $$$.

Love you post, great pics as always.

Cheers

For your nice words, as usual!

Totally agree with you about $$$ and passion!

Best, my friend.
