Greetings!
Hey folks,
I just recently found this great forum and wanted to say hello from Maryland to everyone here. I've already learned a lot about these wonderful watches. My wife conjured up a TT Sub from her trip to the Caribbean and presented same to me last night! I've wanted one --- well, for just about forever I guess! The thing is a beauty - I opened the box and got that glazed-over look like Samuel Jackson and John Travolta did when they opened the briefcase in Pulp Fiction! Looking forward to learning more and spending time here! Thanks! |

Hi there, welcome aboard!
Sounds like you have a great Missus! Is the Sub black or blue?

Thanks for the warm welcome!
"We're happy!". Darn it - I get sucked into watching Pulp Fiction every time it comes on cable (and Slapshot too Dman - it's the quintessential Newman movie ).
Yeah the wife is pretty wonderful. When she asked about the Sub TT I told it was a good price and left it at that - I really wasn't expecting it. I guess she's pretty much done shopping for our anniversary that's coming up. I better out-do myself this year! It's blue. I really liked the black TT as well, but I've had a black Seamaster for the past 15 years so I need a change - LOL. The green (LV?) is really nice too - heck they all are nice. I'll get some pics up soonest. The kids already think I'm a little nutty for taking pictures of guitars! Again thanks to all that welcomed me. I belong to several other forums and have yet to see the kind of reception you folks provide new members. |
