Sub date, after 4 weeks

[DavidUK]

In brief:

1/ Had a DJ 36mm TT for 15 years.
2/ Caught the Big Sports Watch bug from my son.
3/ Chased GMTs and Subs for a while.
4/ Bought 1996 Sub date 16610 four weeks ago.
5/ Didn't wear DJ for 3 weeks, then tried it and it looked too small. Good.
6/ Traded now useless DJ against new DJ31 for my wife 2 weeks ago.
7/ Tried the new DJ36 at the time out of interest. Too small. Good.
8/ Tried new DJ41 as well. Hmmm... that's a better size!
9/ Not in love with Sub. Bland. No gold. No "bling". I'm not a diver. Oyster marks easily. Too delicate. DJ with TT jubilee and fluted bezel far more hardy.
10/ Went back to AD to try DJ41 again.
11/ Phoned AD to hold DJ41 for me until Thursday.
12/ Will trade Sub against DJ41. Sub wasn't the one for me after all.

Moral: Don't go chasing rainbows (no, not Zenith silly!). If you're used to seeing one watch on your wrist for years, be careful what you change to. Your mind's eye may like the different look, you may not.
