Nice Aaron...congrats!

I think when you swear you're going to slow down on watches, that's the kiss of death. Last time I did that, within a couple months afterward I bought 3 Seamasters & a Rolex.

What a sight for sore eyes! Just returned from the office (first day after my vacation) and lo and behold: a beautiful Sub. What a piece of machinery.

Wear it in good health and for a very long time,


Frans.

Thanks guys.I really like the Sub and always wanted a SEL bracelet model especially after the Seadweller "F" Series.

My previous Sub was a "U" series and I just love the classic look.(In fact if the Sub no date had a SEL bracelet it might have been a different story.)

Yeah, that's why I didn't buy one. I think the SEL bracelet will fit the ND sub, but that's not cheap, and you really wanna keep the non SEL around to keep the pkg original. Still, the thought has crossed my alleged mind...

You do realize, Aaron, that once you have the sickness it is chronic and incurable. You just have to learn to live with it, as with any other disability; or perhaps we should call you Rolex challanged.

It's a beautiful Sub. The only thing that would make it perfect is a red 24 hour hand. That would be the ultimate Sub. Oh, but then it would be a GMT-II - now THAT's the ultimate Sub!!
