Why wait on an endless waitlist for a Submariner when you can already get the perfect one today? OLD vs NEW side-by-side comparison.

Have had my '16610' for 14 years now and still love and cherish it. Like most folks I've had a few prized possessions but none of them close to my Subie..! I also love how it's accrued in value. Bought mine new in 2005 for a little under $5K USD.

I have a 1973 Rolex Sub 5512 no date bought new by my Grandfather in Red Bank, New Jersey in 1974. He wore it everyday for 31 years until he passed in 2005. The watch has been around the world, and on 3 cross ocean sailing voyages. I wouldn't sell it for any amount of money. Still keeps perfect time!

One correction: you do NOT have to go to the store to adjust the bracelet on the older model. It does have the little holes along the sides of the clasp and you can adjust it yourself. Not as neat and easy as with the new clasp, but you definitely do not have to go to the store. So in the new model, the wet suit extension is in the new clasp adjustment versatility. In the old model, the wet suit extension and the adjustment are two different things.

I’ve owned several versions of the Sub and you’re absolutely right; I think the last classic Sub is the 16610T. I have one from 2008; an M serial and with the no-holes case and rehaut. Absolutely a keeper! Ultimate evolution of the model from the early 1680. After that, they seem to have gone on steroids!!! I have always wished that Rolex would offer more factory strap/bracelet choices as well but for some reason never did. Back in the day, the Rolex Service center used to supply you with an “Inox” skin diver rubber strap on request but not any more!

I take your point about the older bracelet so maybe if one bought the pre-ceramic model at the right price and then put a new bracelet on it the whole would be perfect?

Different strokes for different folks. I have the 1993 holes case tritium dial. Creamy aged markers and immaculate. I prefer the early 16610 and find the holes case wonderful and a real last gasp of the classic tool watch sub before Rolex decided that they didi not want you to wear this watch on anything else other than the bracelet and made their watches luxury ready! I wear mine on a beautiful dark brown strap and it is anonymous to all. I love this aspect. Lastly. I have owned the ceramic and the pre ceramic and I prefer the delicate comfort of the much earlier abused and maligned bracelet to the new. I think the new bracelets are too bulky and blingy...for me! Nice comparison Oisin. Thanks for the video.

The pre ceramic every time for me. I have two subs but am now going down the Omega Sea Master road., the quality for the price is outstanding, and the movement is only less than on the Sub by 1 sec. The design of these watches are beautiful (apart from the helium valve which should be automatic and incorporated into the side). The Rolex Brand has been getting a lot of bad press because of their attitude towards customers over the Submariner, sitting on it's brand not caring or listening to loyal customers. The Sub gap could easily be filled if they ignore customers from this sector, by same quality and more reasonably priced companies like the Omega Sea Master. Many luxury car companies have sat on their names in the past but failed to see what was coming up behind them. If customers turn on Rolex they can make a difference, nothing in this life is guaranteed.

@gasparjohnson3774 3 жыл бұрын

The new 2018 Seamaster has a better movement, a 70-hour power reserve, and a silicon hairspring making it anti-magnetic. The METAS rating on the SMP is -0 to +6 better to have a watch that never runs slow since then the only thing you have to do hack the watch till the correct time catches up and push the crown back in. Mine is running a consistent +2 a day.

The newer has some great improvements but are more obvious, chunky and the colored ones look somewhat comical which is ok if that’s your thing.

Had multiples of both versions that I flipped. Both sell very well with a definite preference for the newer Ceramic. People want new especially younger watch enthusiast. The more I handled and examined them closely, the more I started leaning towards the previous models. I really had to think about it because the new Ceramics are a better watch in every way except one. Aesthetics. Selecting a watch is as much a emotional matter of the heart as it is a logically thought out decision. In reality you can’t go wrong with either but in the end the elegant profile and old school vibe of the Aluminum 5 digits won me over. The newer Subs are glitzy, bloated, overstated caricatures of themselves. Then Rolex doubled down by increasing the diameter to 41mm. I am so done with the bulky oversized watch thing

@SPQR-Z 28 күн бұрын

So you have never bought a watch and then sold it in the secondary market? Anyone that’s ever bought a Rolex SS Sport and then sold it is technically a flipper. 99% of AD purchases end up being sold at secondary prices. Actual Grey dealers have been around ever since I’ve been in the hobby so over 40 years. It’s only been an issue since the millennials and Gen Z got involved in the hobby. They’ve driven up the market with their big checkbooks and wild speculation buying. 40 years ago Rolex SS Sports were rare and there were premiums so this is nothing new. What’s new is the type of buyers that will pay exorbitant amounts and the AD’s with the games they are playing now. This has led to the super high premiums. I haven’t bought a new Rolex from an AD since 2010. I primarily deal secondary dealer to dealer plus a large network of flippers and super collectors. Business has been great. Sorry you’re bitter about being on AD wait lists and then not getting the call. But you’re angry with the wrong people. The market is whatever someone is willing to pay. You wouldn’t sell your market $19k GMT Pepsi Ceramic to someone that offered you the $11k list price just because that’s what they think it’s worth. Nobody does that and if you or anyone else is willing to sell me any Rolex SS GMT or Daytona at list I’ll buy every one. This is the reason I mostly stopped dealing with private buyers, unrealistic market understanding with big eyes but no money

The one thing you have to keeping mind about the oyster supers case is the time it came out, a few years back, the hottest brand our there was Panerai. When Rolex came out with new updates to the brand(ceramic, new bracelet and lume), you have take into consideration that they competing in market that was looking for a larger watch trend and Rolex answer the demand with case that filled out the wrist with more presence. Now that the fade, like bell bottom jeans and elevator shoes, has gone away I think you will see Rolex return back to it's original dimensions but with the improvement in technology.

Oisin, I smiled today when I heard you mention the grey market price for the ceramic sub , since the launch of the new sub I’ve seen the 116610 going for 13,000 and one for 15,000. The latest sub selling in USA for 18,500 how ridiculous is it going to get 🤷‍♂️. Nows the time to off load your sub if you want to make a buck or two , by the way great vid as usual mate .

To be honest I think I like the black and gold one you're wearing the best. It could be the one for me!

I don’t mind waiting for one. But that’s only if I know I’ll actually get one in the X years they mentioned. Just unsure if they took my paper information straight to the trash or actually processed it in their “list”

I have no problem with the bracelet on my 16610. The thin clasp and hollow center links result in an exceedingly lightweight piece compared to some. I've owned both Btw

I have a question. Where is the best country you could buy a very good Rolex with more obtions and years to buy?

Thanks for this video! Just got my 116610LN. One week wait after a $500 deposit at the NYC AD. Love it so far. I was thinking to go with a Sea Dweller but its way too big. This is a great size for me and I'm going to wear the hell out of it ;)

The newer Clasp on the Ceramic is FANTASTIC!! I adjust mine a lot... ever so slightly as my wrist size goes up and down I suppose. Both are great but I prefer the Ceramic. Plus I have an 8" wrist so the larger case size fits me better.
