It also helps me fill a huge void in my collection. I currently tend to baby the watches I currently have in my stable and I was in a definite need of a true workhorse timepiece. One I wouldn't mind taking to the beach or the shooting range.

Special thanks to Mr. Tony Geha, aka JustRolexes for an excellent and smooth transaction. It was a pleasure finally meeting you face to face and I look forward to working with you more in the future!

I opted to go sans date this time around. I'm on a less is more kick at the moment Without further ado...

Congrats! A great piece to own in any collection!

Haha, my collection is pretty small, perhaps stable was the wrong word choice I currently have a 5167, 15300, Daytona, and now the Sub, followed by a few Gshocks and a couple of other pieces I picked up in the mid 90s. Nothing special. Next in line for me is a Panerai and an IWC. Just need to wait for the right piece and deal.

Still a solid collection! To me, 3-5 is the perfect number of watches. Any more, and I don't think I could give them the proper love that they deserve.

Right there with you. I'm thinking 4 is the magic number for me.

The 15400 was traded toward my 5167. I then found a minty 15300 which fits my wrist much better. Very happy about the fit

I agree. If I were to have too many I'd take an entire day to decide what to wear. My wife wears the Daytona so I'm planning in picking up two more.
