That's a great looking Sub! I thought the Smurf was cool looking but makes more of a style statement. This one would look awesome with a pair of jeans, but also look good with almost everything. Enjoy it!

Thanks for all the kind comments .

Some random thoughts ....I have the GMT Meteorite too .

How does the WG Sub compare to the GMT Meteorite ?

Case ..prefer the Sub.

Bracelet ..well,sort of the same oyster idea with PCLs,BUT the sub has the glidelock .Very practical,and that has nothing to do with diving .

Meteorite dial ..stunning .
Everyday wear ,nothing beats a black dial .
I love blue ,but cannot wear a blue dial everyday.Black dials ,never get tired of them .So,on the WG Sub the contrast of the black dial and blue bezel is striking .It does it much better compared to my BLNR.

I see the WG Sub more of a daily ,compared the the GMT Meteorite which for me,is more special occasions .

WG lustre is different from 904L
The heft of PM.It just feels different on the wrist .
It lets you know it is there .

Again,judgement made in pics .NEVER do that .
No one that sees this reference in the metal will be underwhelmed .It pops !

I think my unprofessional cellphone pics do at least convey the colours under natural lighting accurately ,except for the metal spark and lustre ,which no photo really does accurately .
