Guys, found one of these posted on another forum.. where they to release a white dialled sub.. who would consider buying one? Although i have a soft spot for white dialled watches, not sure about this one though..maybe if the bezel was brushed steel possibly, but to my eyes doesnt seem right... would you guys go for one ?

That's a strange looking beast to say the least. Look' s more like an Explorer I with a rotating bezel.

I have not seen any white dial Subs but here is a SS blue one. They did make three yellow Subs, J Dowling owns one. I am not sure where the other two are. =) maverick

Mav, I've heard quite a bit of speculation over the Blue S/S sub. Some heavy hitter collectors do not acknowledge its existence whatsoever. I'm not sure what to think, but it definitely makes me think Hmmmmm.

The white dial certainly has the case and tritium again of a watch from the 50s. I'm pretty sure that is legit.
However a blue SS submariner has never been produced by Rolex, period, full-stop.

I do know the three yellow Subs were real. That would be a Beatles fan's dream watch. LOL =) maverick
