Summer blue SS Submariner

[monster-rat1]

I have a question, I have a Summer blue SS Submariner on the way from King. Can someone tell me if this watch is a fantasy or does Rolex make this watch with a blue face? I can't seem to find one anywhere only in the rep world..

I think there was some debate about this a while back, and if I remember correctly I think it was either a fantasy watch, or only sold somewhere like Japan...

No SS blue dial....fantasy...!

Vintage (1680) SS/Blue = Yes

Modern (16610) SS/Blue = No

I noticed a guy in my gym wearing a ss blue sub, it was not nearly as good as ours, I could tell it was a cheap $100 rep at a glance but I asked it about it and he said he got it a few years back and it was real. I then said "are u sure " and he then told me it was a rep he got from showtime replica watches, used to be a site that sold cheap rep rollies.

I have the same recollection. I'm pretty sure it had a limited release in Japan. (at least that is what I recall from the old thread).

Yes.

Made for the asian (read "Japanese") market a few years back.

Rolex is nothing if not opportunistic and market oriented. Their own website (rolex.com) is purposely restricted and misleading about what might actually be available from them and their AD's.
