I just joined the forum today - this is my first post.

FWIW - as of 29 January 2019, there were no new Submariner Dates available from any Mid-Atlantic AD. I called every AD in Maryland, Virginia. Washington DC, Pennsylvania and Delaware. None in stock. All had waiting lists and several refused to add new names to their already lengthy lists.

Pretty awesome to see a real Submariner wearing a Submariner! Awesome watch, enjoy it!

Thank you for your service and you chose a great watch from a great seller. I did a project for DoD for software security a couple years ago.

It's never too late as long as you don't go into debt! Going to a state school was the way to go (for me)
