All I want is my current 14060m, a Root Beer and... A MilSub!

I'd take an early Explorer if one found me, though!

That's the nature of a true collector!

I'm not wired that way myself but I'll bet, to him, they are all unique.

Let's face it, the average Joe in the street wouldn't get the difference between a Sub and a PO...

you can't be too rich, too thin or have too many Rolex subs!
