Yellow Gold SubC.....

Until you wear this piece you cannot fully appreciate its wrist presence.

It is a contradiction, it baffles onlookers, is it a Sub...yes it is, but its solid gold!!!

No there is no mistake. It is an incredible juxtaposition that gives rise to a mixture of confusion and fascination.

Awesome! I can relate with my GMT II-C Solid 18K! It baffles people...catch people staring alot. Attracts a little too much attention..but it's amazing!

Yes this is mine
It is day 1 for me and I handed my watch to a friend over dinner (hence the greasy looking bezel we were eating pizza).
Anyway I will have some much nicer photos in the next couple of days..
This photo was taken from my phone in less than ideal conditions.
I will say however, that this watch is a knock-out!!!

Well in that case allow me to congratulate you!

...Now how about some pictures of that watch with the pizza?
