First PM - A Sub LB!
Finally went up a notch! Bought new from a US AD for 20% off. They sized it and required taking all stickers off. I would have like to take them off in my own time, but whatever.
Impressions: The weight is real! I couldn't tell too much of a difference in the store, but out in the real world it was very noticeable in a good way. The finishing seems a step up from SS models. The bracelet is much tighter, the edges are sharper, the brushing/polishing is flawless. I like it a lot more out outside of the AD. Their lights are probably too harsh, and I wasn't totally excited day of sale. But after wearing it a couple days, I couldn't keep my eyes off of it!. I have previously posted about concern wearing a PM piece and what people might think. All of that has gone out the window. I would suggest others in the same predicament, not give it a second thought. I suppose I'm done for a while.

Congrats finally!! You will love it. Been wearing mine daily since July'17. Brings a smile everyday to strap it on. Be sure to keep it clean, but use a soft baby wash cloth and a bit of Dawn. I don't use a toothbrush because the mirror polished surfaces are definitely prone to hairlines. But it is the Sub king. I truly don't miss SS.

20% off MSRP?? That would be huge, unless the discount was based on their own higher price ...
Beautiful watch, btw!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Oh you need to send it in already for service; I see it is gaining time like crazy and is a day ahead! (Or has it been set 12 hours off!?)
 J/K, PM all gold makes for a stunning watch, enjoy the heck out of it!
