Enjoy! Love the colour of the dial.

When it got released I thought it was a weird design but this grew on me and now I love it. It's so good looking.

Back from Cruise on Friday ...

Some stats on watch ... 15% Discount .. Ship had watch shop selling Omega, Hublot, Longines, Tag and Bvlgari. They had gray version of the Speedy 38 with 20% discount offered immediately. I wanted the blue so waited and bought in Nassau. When in shop next day the SA saw my watch and I told him if he had blue I would have bought from him. He asked what deal I got and I said 15% and I know he offered 20% .. then he said he would have gone even higher that 20% if I wanted the gray. They had an OK selection of Omega and Hublot .. I assume most of their stock has been sitting there since PRE CV19.

Some stats on cruise ... MSC Meravilgia - holds 5000+ passengers ... only 800 on board. No lines for buffet, restaurant, shows, elevators, etc. Covid-19 test was performed before boarding by onsite medical staff. Negative test required to board. Vax card not needed but if you had one you got a WHITE BRACELET to wear for duration of cruise. VAX bracelet allowed you to go to VAX only shows and Excursions. Everyone was also given RFID braclet for contact tracing but also worked as room key and charge card. Could not walk up to bar .. had to sit and order from bar attendant . Mask was required in all indoor areas except cabin and while eating. VAX only shows alloed Mask off during shows. TEmp checks at Buffet, hand washing and disinfectant required at all restaurants, stores and buffett. Nassau required VAX card and mask at all times .. $100 fine if caught not wearing mask. Customs did not check Passports on return and did not even ask anyone if they had purchases to declare .. they did have facial scan on an iPAD and that was it. Best cruise ever .. except for the Masks on all the time.

Interesting stats and information. Cool they had a watch shop on board. I really like the looks of your watch, looks great. Also think the gray would of been nice as well. Thanks for sharing.

FYI .. comparison of 40mm Sub to 38mm Speedmaster ... Larger diameter dial on Speedy ... larger diameter bezel on Sub ...
