sorry guys, can i just check with you all if its possible to buy the sub dial anywhere outside rsc??

was doing walking ard lucky plaza when i saw a pre-owned shop displaying a couple of tt sub with modified dial. look pretty elegant ...then suddenly feel like doing it also...

yes it is possible to buy sub dial outside rsc, however, u take a risk if they are not original. it is your choice. however when u sent it to RSC make sure u have an original dial.

i agree...

but it is interesting though.. before i bought my subdate.. i don't pay attention to what others wear on their wrists.. increasingly these days, i seem to take more notice..

its human nature to do so.

now... the other day i saw someone wearing a subdate.. on closer scrutiny, i noticed something is not right.. the second hand ticks rather than swipe across..

so there you go... the look may be common but not everyone wears the real mccoy

its not the rolex subbie, its a folex subbie

i take it as a compliment if i see someone wearing a watch that i own.

watches with good resale value shows the high demand, naturally the chances of seeing it on the street is higher if the price is not too high like eg $15k

116710 is nice lah. But movement wise, it's using the 3186 movement which I think the main diff from traditional 16710 is the inclusion of new hairspring. The rest of enhancements are mainly cosmetic like larger crown and hands, ceramic bezel

To the laymen, the 16610 is black, the 116710 is also black. From far cannot see man

But look at the price

true also. unless observant

[minusplus]

eh. u sian is it? then u buy the 116710 and wear. then not common. then u feel elated already mah.

Not sure how long more this Sub Date fever going to last. But I already see 3 of my colleagues wearing Sub Dates to work. On occasions when I have to take the train, I never fail to see ppl wearing Rolexes, and of these, sub date seems to be one of the most common that I've seen. Even when I visit a pre-owned shop in JE, the auntie also asked: "Why all of you like this particular model so much huh?"

And so long as ppl still go after it, the price of sub dates will continue to be high
