    Sucked into the hype- grail arrival Rolex Sub C

    Well its been a helluva year on the watch front and having suffered with a bit of watch flippitis, I hope I'm now cured after having acquired what I considered to be my grail over the past 3 years. I loved the look of the Sub C from the time it was introduced in Basel a couple of years ago. The squarer case may not be to every Rolex traditionalists' taste however it struck a chord with me and I think it gives it more of a modern sportier edge to the classic Sub case. Likewise the maxi dial and hands. The new bracelet is fantastic and feels so smooth, oozing in quality. One wonders why it took Rolex so long to construct such a fine bracelet for its Sub line.
    Anyway now I have to think of a new grail to pursue





    Watch list:

    Rolex Explorer II 216570, Omega Speedmaster Pro 3570.50
    , Seiko MM300 SBDX001, Seiko Orange Boss SKA291P1, Casio G-Shock M5600

    It is a beautiful watch! I agree with you about the bracelet, I'm surprised Rolex did not update the bracelet with previous generations of the Submariner. I feel the bracelet never came close to the quality of the watch itself.
    If only I had more arms... and deeper pockets!

    For years I felt that the Omega Seamaster Bond was the most comfortable watch I've owned....not any more
