Also rare are those with the Synchron star. Dials with the US Divers logo are both highly sought after and relatively rare. The next thing to consider when looking at a vintage SUB is the logo on the dial. Which, of course, begs the question how popular are each of the dial colours? This of course brings in one of the modifiers to the rarer equals more expensive equation which states: even if something is in very short supply, if people don't like or want it, prices will be depressed and they will be traded more often. Interestingly, even though the Searambler is considered rarer than the Sharkhunter, the Searambler seems to come on the market more often than the Sharkhunter.

Not surprisingly the Divingstars don't often come up for sale and when they do, they command high prices. It is considered that the black dial Sharkhunter is next, followed by the silver Searambler and finally the yellow dial Divingstar.

It is without doubt that the orange dial SUB Professional was produced in the most numbers. Without doubt the SUB 300 (no T) is exceedingly rare and those that are in good shape probably number in the tens if even that. Next we need to look at the different models. Considering that most of the vintage SUBs are in the 30 - 40 years old range and there are not too many of them around, we could consider them as fairly rare. Well that pretty much holds true for the vintage SUBs. There is a basic generalization in life which states that the rarer something is the more it is going to cost. Hopefully this will allow people to make informed judgments when trying to put a price on a vintage SUB. What I'll try to do in this essay is to provide a few pointers to what to look for and what to avoid. The second question is far more difficult to answer because it depends on quite a number of factors. There are two main questions I get asked all the time - where can I buy a vintage SUB and how much should I pay for it? The stock answer for the first one is check ebay and the various sales forums including the one I set up primarily for selling and trading Doxa watches.
