Old school addition
I had not been planning on adding much to the collection but I started to get an itch for a TT Sub. After wearing the 50th anniversary Sub for a few weeks I realized I like the 5 digit models. The TT models were not so appealing but since the watches in the collection go thru a rotation I felt the old school i.e. Classic Sub was an option. Liking the black/gold combo so far.

That's a beauty...the TT sub in 5 and 6-digit forms has gotten more and more attractive to me of late. Enjoy wearing!

Congratulations. I bought mine new in 1986, but it's had virtually zero wrist time in recent years. I've just ordered a leather strap to mix it up a bit.

Thx For all the nice comments! Apparently this watch I bought got very little wrist time from the two previous owners. It really looks that way. No bracelet stretch. Just light scratches in the gold part of th3 bracelet. I am not going to have any polish work done on it when I get around to having it serviced.
