Incoming!

Flipped my Explorer II for this 16613 Sub! This is my friend's watch and he always told me that whenever he was ready to sell it I was first on the list. I've had the urge to add some (aka a small amount of) gold to my "collection" and I knew this was a very well kept watch and one which I really like the look of. He called me a few days ago and I knew I had to have it!

Anyway, without further ado, here's a few pics:

Thanks everyone! It's been great so far! The gold definitely gets a lot more attention that SS, which I don't particularly love, but I think it looks fantastic.

I don't know about others who own both date and no-date subs, but I notice the extra millimeter in diameter a lot and appreciate the extra size.
