Incoming - I've been a very bad boy... (my others are green with envy)
Well, I got my BLNR last week from DavidSW but I'd taken off the bracelet to preserve it. I tried a few straps but went back to the AD to re-install the bracelet and size it, and also to have the rate adjusted since it was -1 sec/day and I prefer to gain a little, not lose. I'll be back in the AM to have it slowed down, now that it's running +4.5 sec/day.
Somehow I came home with this, with plans to sell my 1983 Submariner 16800 that I never wear anymore (PM me). I may also return the Omega Seamaster Pro ceramic chronograph that I picked up last month at the local AD, which I got after I gave mine to my son and missed it and picked up another. I'd still have my early 2000's Titanium Seamaster Pro chronograph or Moonwatch if I need a chronograph, until I have a white dial SS Daytona. I really love the sunburst dial, and the color distracts me from the fat lugs, although I still prefer the shape of the older Sub more.

Subs always look much better to me on the bracelet. I don't wear mine on anything else.

I think the new Subs are a no go with NATO. Just doesn't look right.

Congratulations! I echo other members in that I think Subs look best on a bracelet. Great collection too!
