I agree. I was worried it would never meet my high expectations, my Sub-C has set the bar very high. I was pleasantly surprised. I is different than the Sub-C on the wrist but equally as comfortable in a different way. I know that lame description is not helping anyone who is on the fence about buying one, but for me it felt comfortable from day one.

Thanks Eric I've followed several of your incomings and your collection is fantastic. I can see why you might not have a need to go to your AD as much
Thanks, Brian.

Your collection is not too shabby either.

No matter how much you value your own opinion, you are in the minority.

The most annoying people on the internet are the ones who think their opinions are virtuous and needed.

Thanks for inserting your bitterness into a thread about someone else's enjoyment.

I love your watches! I completely agree with you regarding the style of the Subs, I have a Sub-C and now a SD43. I lamented over the purchase of the SD43 because of the similarity of the watches. It was difficult to justify this purchase. I was getting advice to get the Batman or another model to have a well rounded beginner collection. In the end I went with what spoke to me and I am so glad I did. The Hulk is next!

Great watches and thanks for sharing them!
