Wedding Incoming

AD had texted me this morning letting me know that the wedding bands we ordered were in and had another nugget for me when he asked if I had picked up our “wedding Sub”. I said no, but would absolutely love one to mark the occasion. He said date/ or no date. I said date. He said he might have something special for me when I come to collect the rings.

Needless to say I was already in the car before he said wedding. Lol.


My initial thoughts are that the watch wears beautifully. I could argue it has more wrist presence than my Daytona. But flip side is that I have the Daytona on a rubber B sans the oyster bracelet. The watch has all the right proportions. Weight is perfect and the dial is understated. Not busy. I think this duo has my itch completely scratched.

So I need to tell my AD, who has zero on display, I'm getting married!!

Seriously though, congrats on both fronts, the wedding, and the new watch!
A tip though for the wedding day, spend more attention to the new bride, you'll get a far better reception!!

Beautiful watches, nice story, but I doubt your itch is permanently scratched.

No, you need to buy jewelery like the OP, then out comes the Sub.
