Icon20 I registered in 2008. Sorry...

Thought I should say hi. This might be the longest period ever between registration and new member post. It's about 12 years since I got really interested in watches, and about 10 since I decided I wanted a SS sub. (They were 2k then). Finances were not permitting at the time, but I finally bought a brand new sub C no date 114060 in 2013. Suffice to say, it scratched the itch and I've been busy, so I've not been back here since.
It was a reddit thread about the scarcity of the subs in the UK that brought me back, and I've been happily browsing all day. Do like the BNLR but not more than my sub. I've had a few surgeries since I got it, and that and airport security are the only time it's off my wrist.

Hi.

And I have shirts much older than that.
