Just Got my Ceramic Sub!

And I am excited.. A couple of years ago I sold (for no reason) my 2009 sub no date, and I have recently realized that I could not wear something else on my wrist. So, I bought the ceramic version today. Enjoy the rest of the day gentlemen (and ladies :)).

Thank you very much! The watch is on the way home, and I will receive it tomorrow. I got a very nice discount from the AD due to special circumstances, and I am so happy! Photos will be posted soon!!

Congrats Jim. I totally understand why you gravitated back to this watch. Something about this one. I have a couple of watches inc the new BLRO and without doubt this sub gets more time on the wrist than all of the others put together.

It just looks so symmetrically perfect. Enjoy and looking forward to your pics.

WOW! You got a discount when the market for this watch is in high demand and most ADs do not even have it in stock.

Hang on to this one! Don't sell it! & Congrats!

Congrats! It’s my favorite watch. I needed to whittle my collection down and the sub C no date was the only one that was non-negotiable. Even the 1680 Red Sub got the axe!

In LA, TX, and AR are plenty SS right now. On July you could not find anything ..The discount happened to fix a misunderstanding between the AD and myself. The manager stepped in after I left the shop with empty hands and took action. Now, this AD gained my business for the years to come.

I did not know what to get. The Daytonas are not available (I put my name on the list) , and the Daytona TT attracts too much attention. Same with the sub TT. The Deep Sea is awesome but heavy, and I think that after 18:00 I would start to feel it on my wrist.. The Sea dweller has the cyclops.. So, I decided to do it again! Thank you!!
