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.

Good post! The Gold Sub is a keeper! Great purchase.

Fantastic watch, a real stunner.
I would like to say it is on my short list, but alas, it has to be on my wish list.

It’s definitely on one of my lists too. I’m just not sure which one.

Congrats on your purchase, wear it in good health! The finishing is the same as with SS models, nothing tighter, sharper or better executed. The showroom lights always work against any model, but once you take them out they show their gorgeous nature
