ok so this is official..... finally we have a new submariner...... i have yet to see the model number published but most likely it will be 116618...... (FYI the current submariner in 18k YG is 16618, most of the time they add one digit at the front to denote a new improved model)......
as widely expected, the submariner received the supercase and maxidial treatments...... in fact very similar to the improvements made to the gmt master 2 a couple of years ago...... not forgetting the ceramic bezel of cos...... i am itching to see a new version of the fliplock bracelet and its diver extension.......
however, looking at the latest trends, i am very afraid the new asking price might be too much to swallow..... the 16610 (submariner in SS) is now selling for S$8228 and the 116710 (gmt master 2 in SS) S$9599........ i suspect when the 116610 (the ss version) finally come to singapore, we could expect a $12000 list price ..... will the 116610 come with a fully brushed steel bracelet or are the centre links polished? only time will tell......
here are more pics of the submariner in blue and black bezels.....
the black bezel looks mighty good........... and delicious.....
and surprise surprise, there is also one in 18k white gold............ only with a blue bezel and dial

Any chance that they'll come out with a stainless steel version?
Yes...I purchased the stainless steel version about 2 weeks ago.
these YG and WG submariners are new this year...
i think the new SS sub will be introduced in 2010....
