Hey Watches Journey! I have enjoyed your videos for some time now … thank you for your nice comments. Wishing you happy holidays and I look forward to seeing more of your watches journey! 😊

The green looks a lot darker in the outdoors compared to most pictures taken indoors under harsh lighting. I like it more in the outdoors

Hi Max, yes, in "normal lighting" the ceramic bezel is a darker, richer green. Under bright artificial light or bright sunlight the bezel becomes a much more pale, pastel green. I much prefer the darker hue.

Lovely and well rounded 3 piece set up there, I’m currently 1 watch away from my own personal 3 piece Land, sea, and air Rolex collection.

Out of the trio, which one would you choose if you had to pick just one? I’m looking for a daily and after seeing your video (which shows this watch off the best) I’m honestly leaning towards the sub. I’m a tall guy 6’6 so the fuller look would suit me well. Cheers!

Hi Zach, I would probably keep the Batman on jubilee -- but for sentimental reasons. My Dad died right before I got it and I always thought he "made it happen." But, if no sentimental attachment, I think I would agree with you that if I could only have one, it would be a Sub. And if I had to do it all over again and pick only one ... I would probably chose a no date Sub as a one and done.

Very nice! Congratulations !!

Excellent review! Do you find that the all brushed oyster bracelet is less "flashy" than your Batman with jubilee? I have it on Oyster and love it but the PCLs are really shiny in the summer sun. I like you also have the SMP but black w/black rubber strap. Was thinking of selling to contribute to the Sub LV but it's really nice to have a nice watch on rubber that isn't a Rolex for certain travel/occasions. Thanks again for the great review and content.

Hi G Seg, I have now owned this watch since early December 2021 and I have not had ANY buyer's remorse about the watch or the green bezel. In fact, I actually have become more and more attracted to it. It's just a normal Sub with a touch of uniqueness (green) to it. I can see how the Hulk may get to be "too green" but not this one. I hope you get your new Sub soon!

Great video and review Doug! I have a question if you don't mind when you have the time. I was blessed to come across a representative who helped me get this same exact model and I only waited about 3.5 almost 4 mo/. I know... I can barely believe it myself especially because it's also my first ever Rolex purchase. The dealer who I'd like to consider a friend, has been very transparent. It will be a very long time (about a year) until I can request another piece, or simply work my way up to another sports gem. My question to you seeing that you have the 3 most heavy hitters from Rolex, how difficult was it to achieve this? How long did it take you? Thanks again.

Zi, I purchased 4 different Rolex models during the "pandemic" simply by walking into the Rolex Store. I know that is rare today, but I had great luck, getting an OP41, GMT, SUB, and a 18k Day Date 40. The shops I went into asked me a lot of questions to determine if I was a collector or a "flipper", as they seemed to want to sell a watch to a Rolex collector or fan.

@DougsPerspective

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Gene, It is my understanding that one can only change dials/etc. for watches with the same reference number. Since the 126610LN and 125510LV are different reference numbers, I would doubt that it can be changed by RSC. Of course, there are aftermarket bezels you could have custom made for it in green (or probably any color you chose).
