I had a story with the sub that goes back to year 2000.

He put the Cartier on the tray and asked me to go with him to a different stand that belong to their company to show me a different watch that falls in the same price category. It was a Rolex Submariner. I had no idea back then about the history of Rolex vs Cartier nor how better Rolex was. All I wanted was that Cartier for how it looked "Chronora, white dial, a crown with a blue stone... Price tags were similar and the salesman tried hard to convince me to take the Rolex but I didn't.
Today, I look back and think how stupid I was:-)
Any idea which reference the sub was back in 2000? How to look for one now?

Thanks man.
That Sub would have been the exact same model as mine, the 16610. Probably with T<25 tritium dial and hollow end links. Otherwise it was identical to mine.
Cheers.
