Like -which Sub to wear for the game? Do I go with 69' Tropical Sub or 61' 4 line Gilt Sub??? Given the cold weather today here in Glenfinnan-might have to put on the trusty old 4 liner! Something about a vintage Sub that grabs me heart!

Go Steelers!

HL65 · 16 January 2011, 06:30 AM

Thanks buddy!! Go Steelers!!!

Frogman4me · 16 January 2011, 06:31 AM

I just hope we can keep it close and make a good game of it.The Ravens are a tough team.

Agree with you Connor! Life offers hards dilemmas. I wish that they will always be the kind you present here!

Both watches are beautiful vintage, and it is truly difficult to decide. Why not one today, and the other tomorrow?

Or as it have been discussed in a different thread lately, why not one on each wrist?

Enjoy your jewels Connor, and in good health!!
Cordial regards, Abel.

HL65 · 16 January 2011, 07:56 AM

Thanks Abel!!!

7-0!!

Beaumont Miller II · 16 January 2011, 08:16 AM

I would go with the Sub from 1961 hands down. PCG, Gilt Gloss Dial, 4 lines, Chapter Ring...that is the ultimate Submariner with crown guards and the one to which they can all trace their roots. Stunning watch.

From 61' --thanks much my friend!!! 7-14 though!! David is happy now!!

Lol-x · 16 January 2011, 08:40 AM

That 4 liner is the way to go for sure.

Given that's settled well I guess you wont be needing the red sub....so I've got space for it

Steve--You can wear it if you visit!!!

Lol-x · 16 January 2011, 09:00 AM

Ken you have way so many beautiful vintages.....I can see a Comex or a Military Sub in your future

Comparing your WG SubC to your vintage pieces, which do you find gives you more satisfaction, if that is a possible question to pose, for me I really love both, but if I had to choose I would have to say vintage.

I mean why is it that I (and many others) keep going back to vintage, if those watches were not special.

HL65 · 16 January 2011, 09:07 AM

Steve-Thanks!-Definitely vintage for me--With that said-the WG is my favorite modern watch and the feel of it is unreal! Love the weight--love the dial. Vintage to me though is where my heart is--especially when you can track down perfect pieces! I am working on a Big Crown now--we will see!! Also-maybe a Military Sub--who knows??? Have a good one buddy!!

Frogman4me · 16 January 2011, 11:19 AM

Very poor officiated For a playoff game, congrats Ken

HL65 · 16 January 2011, 11:23 AM

Thanks David---it was a tale of two halfs. The Steelers did not show up for the first and the Ravens weren't on field in the second half.

johnbeth · 16 January 2011, 11:28 AM

Red

thats all I can say!! Awesome watches you have and I would love to see your whole collection one day if we are lucky enough!

John

HL65 · 16 January 2011, 11:30 AM

Thanks John!!! It has such a nice even chocolate dial in person--even the bezel is brown to match dial. Love them both!! Heck--Love them all--What an expensive habit it is though!!! So many watches I would love to have --always another one--LOL!

johnbeth · 16 January 2011, 11:35 AM

Expensive, however, awesome habit. The history of those watches is priceless!

Keep on adding when you can and the most important thing is keep on enjoying wearing them!!! Your collection from what ive been lucky enough to see in bits and pieces is awesome, just awesome!!

HL65 · 16 January 2011, 11:50 AM

Thanks John!! Paul--the 5512 will be on next week for sure!!! It was the black and gold combo in the end--that was reason I wore it! LOL. What a game!!
