Beautiful watch...I love the "waffle" look of the markers. Oddly, when I lean in close to my monitor, they go away?

Wearing my grand dad's watch today. The bracelet is enroute back from MY. Tracking shows it has arrived into these great United States, but I don't have any more info than that. Looking forward to getting it back!

Thanks! Yes, I've seen that waffle look on many early-mid-'70s Subs. Can't explain the monitor issue, although when I get close enough to anything nowadays, it disappears into a blur. But that's just my 49-year-old eyes.

Yup I have the same waffle look on my Red. I love the look of it and I think it helps determine originality because it can not be easy to duplicate.

love your SD my friend. the matte dial is stunning Is it possible for a 1986 SD to have a matte dial without wg surrounds? im looking for a birth year watch but 1986 is not old enough for the vintage models i like lol i just prefer to no have the wg surrounds. I like the 16660 and 16750

Love that dial. Off the wall combo with Nato that works well! Bold moves pay off.
