Good luck!!! There a lot of extraordinary pics of Sub Dates on this forum. I'm playing around with the macro feature on my camera and hope to take some pics that are up to par.

I is all YOUR fault!!!

I am now really in DOUBT whether I should be the SD or the SUB Date!

I just MIGHT go for the Sub Date (again)

Chris,

Do a search on a user named "Tonelar". He has a post which has all the pictures of the various "clubs".

Good luck on picking up the 16610. I'm glad that your AD story has a happy ending!

Regards,

Vernon

Congrats!

After a three month analysis thanks to this forum, I finally decided to get a SS subdate also.

It's classic, understated, and a wonderful watch.

Good luck with the Sub-date! I love mine! Just driving down the road a while ago looking at it. Trying to envision the no-date model or the dweller and went left of center a couple times! Not good! Be satisfied with your choice and enjoy it!

Dell Williams Santa Cruz. I don't have a camera, otherwise I'd take pics. I'm really digging this date bubble. I don't know how I didn't like it in the beginning. It's really grown on me.

Same here.
I'm a big fan of cyclops but unfortunate with missing cyclops on Daytona n also my nxt favorite SD doesn't have it too.
But you enjoy it pal, even at my behalf.

I still cannot get over the thickness of the GMT II case. I guess we all have our attraction!
