Many that know me have seen me express interest in this watch over the years:

MEN ROLEX 2TONE 18K GOLD/STEEL SUBMARINER DATE BLUE SUB - eBay (item 140472324324 end time Nov-09-10 18:21:47 PST)

Kinda gone off it and am considering this:

ROLEX 18kt Gold Submariner Blue Dial MSRP $28,000 16618 - eBay (item 330489975386 end time Nov-07-10 06:15:15 PST)

or

MENS ROLEX SUBMARINER 18K SOLID GOLD BLACK DIAL 16618 - eBay (item 350408437255 end time Nov-04-10 17:21:56 PDT)

Thoughts?

I'll probably end up with an AP but am thinking about buying the Rolex and a smart suit watch next year, something like:

My thoughts: Never understood two tone watches for men, either you get steel, or you get gold. Just my oppinion.
I'd do Black/YG if I were you, Blue/YG is tacky for some reason I don't know why. The black YG is a real mans watch, see this documentary and you'll see which watch he ends up with: The Luxury Channel

Having said that, everyone and their mother in London or EU for that part has a Rolex so I'd say spend your hard earned $ on a RG or YG AP chrono, just stay away from the diamonds

 

The first one is what all the used car salesmen wear here in L.A.

Of the choices I'd go with the black dial Sub or that JLC. I think one of the nicer Glashutte Originals would be a good option as well for a suit watch.

 

Two tone is very old school in my opinion. This is why I my two tone Daytona w black MOP face is my favorite watch.

Very true but like Rob said, it's got some real old school style to it. I prefer the all gold version these days.

 

joxie-poo getting a Cygnet, LaBritney getting a cars salesman's watch ... WTF is going on over there?

I agree, and my dad's go-to watch is his two-tone sub with black dial. But, that blue dial has never sat well with me. I like the blue dial that comes on the wg Sub, it doesn't have the bling bling metallic finish on it.

Daytona in 2-tone can swing both ways. Robert's sounds nice, but my uncle has the two-tone with white dial and it's not very good looking. I personally like the two-tone Daytona with the gray dial a lot, it's has a very art-deco feel.

 

How about an AP ? Like Royal Oak 15300 Rose gold on brown strap.
