If they release an SS version of the new blue sub it will be a killer! Even if they only make it with the black dial we will be able to replace the dial..Always wanted a SS blue sub!!

That would be a killer looking watch

The ceramic full gold black sub is cool too but way out of my reach ( financially)

Is that ceramic blue bezel in that Sub WG? Or just regular bezel? Look so-so to me.

look at the number 30.....it's ceramic. Can't wait to see official pics because the blue sucks in these pics imo.

DOn't like the dial either so colour is not really going to change my opinion

All-in-all, 3900m is an incredible feat.....but I'll be the first to go out on a limb and say if this is all that is to be released, I think they really dropped the ball this year.

someone mentioned in the timezone forum that the commercially released version will not have the writing on the rehaut. If so, it seems a major source of angst would be gone. With that said, I'm not a big fan of the new SD because of the additional "deep sea" text plus the maxi dial, and suddenly the face looks "smaller" because it looks more "busy". And if the writing on the rehaut is part of the released version, then will like it even less. And for the watch to achieve those depths, I'm sure the size and thickness of it has increased significantly, which I wouldn't like. I love the size of the current SD, I believe it to be the perfect balance (for me), not too big and not too small.
