sneed12 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Needs black hands and dial marker surrounds, IMO. But I do like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Never seen a white dial submariner, but the one in the pics has aged beautifully! That tritium lume looks amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Needs black hands and dial marker surrounds, IMO. But I do like it. +1, if a White Explorer II and Submariner had sex, that could make it look perfect. Black Hands and surrounds: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't know about the dial, but the rest of the watch looks like a gen 16800 to me. The second pic shows the slightly shallower rehaut (than a 16610). The dial looks pretty good also, dial print, etc. And the lume on the dial and the hands match very well!

wheaton26 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 a white submariner with white ceramic bezel would be a hot watch for women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I've always loved white dial watches in pictures. I've owned a few, but every time I buy one, it just doesn't seem to look quite right on my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifter Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 That looks pretty cool! Like the 6542 pan-am white dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've always loved white dial watches in pictures. I've owned a few, but every time I buy one, it just doesn't seem to look quite right on my wrist. Agreed, white can be tricky. For starters it makes the watch look larger. I had Chopard MMXL white face that even at 44mm (my limit), wore like a 50mm alarm clock. I think the typical Rolex size 40mm and less/vintage are the sweet spot for the average sized male wrist. Also, skin complexion. If you are very pale, not enough contrast. The new 41mm Rolex Milgauss in white face also looks abnormally large compared to the black dial counterpart.

Irontomkidd Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I love it… I am a black Sub hater, so any other variant gets the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGucci Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks to all I'm happy you like this submariner. The white dial is unusual for this model but makes a nice effect. Sorry for my bad English! Alex G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 We'd love to hear about the dial Alex- it looks like gen printing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 that dial's missing an 'i' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 that dial's missing an 'i' And part of the 'D' also. But the dial print is consistent with a mid 80's tritium sub dial and the aging of the tritium on the dial and hands (as well as the pearl) backs it up. The dial looks too good to be a fake, IMO. But I've also never seen or heard of a true 'white dialed' sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 apparently the dial is genuine and this is the result of environmental wear and tear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 That looks really nice. It seems like I read or saw somewhere years ago that someone, possibly in the UK, was customizing Submariners with this white dial option, I suppose sort of like folks who put serti dials and diamond bezels on Subs! Obviously these were done a while back, as the tritium has aged nicely and the dial has some wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
