4 years ago today

I purchased my 116520. Those were the days when one had to "get the call". That was a very happy day for me. It's amazing how much MSRP has gone up in that time.

Wow, I would have never guessed. The thing looked brand new last time I saw it.

I purchased a stainless steel Submariner in 1990. I placed my order with the only authorized dealer in my region, and I had to wait for four months until a watch came in to the store.
