Damn, that first pic has a lot of dust on the glass. Dial is perfect. I'll take another.

Well, it was easy for me, as my "go-to" watch dealer had it in stock. Been thinking of a Red Sub for awhile now, and once I saw this one I was pretty hooked! Love the case. I'm a sucker for a thick case, and this one looks great.
