When I heard about these I had to see for myself so I got WBK to send me one to have a look at and I think they are going to be very popular with those wishing for "a bigger sub". No, Rolex have never done a 43mm sub but Stan has and it's a ripper! This has considerably more wrist presence than a normal sub, more like a DSSD but not as thick so it sits better on your wrist.
The quality is quite good, the pearl is even centred! the bezel markings are a nice gold colour, not the almost yellow I have seen on some ceramic TTs in the past. Date wheel is indexed well, the dates come up centred in the window, dial print is crisp and the lume correctly applied. Lume brightness is that of average rep lume. This is not a light watch, weight with all links is just shy of 180 grams.
Here are some crappy pics. No doubt Stan will have some better ones up shortly.
A couple of side by side shots with my ultimate SubC:
Bezel widths:
Width over all (excluding bezel overhang):
Length:
Width over outside of lugs:
Width of first bracelet link:
As you see everything is bigger but still in proportion, someone hit "enlarge by xx% in the cad program and this is the result. Neat huh?
If you want one ask Wacko Bird Keeper, the fastest gun in the west and no doubt you can have one on your wrist in very short order as Stan is known for his super fast delivery.
So all you good folks who were crying out for a bigger Sub, WBKtime has answered your call. Now the only question is, will Rolex bring out a rep of it? :lol:
