Good to be back....

I've been away a while. But a couple weeks ago I added this classic to the stable and I'll be a more frequent visitor here again:





Thanks to everyone for all the great info, day-in-and-day-out....I was definitely lurking and admiring all your great SubC pix before I took the plunge myself.

Cheers,

Dave

Nothing like a SS/black Sub. Sharp, clean lines, and a beautiful contrast of bezel and case. And the new clasp is a bonus. My 'Old Timer' says Enjoy it!

The SubC stands as one of the most impressive watches in history. It exudes luxury and precision engineering.
