Sub 16610 LV

Just had Lasik (eye surgery) yesterday and wow! My vision is so good right now (bit blurry, will go away)... like a miracle! If anyone here is thinking about doing it, dont hesitate ...but anyhow, let's get back on topic!

Been shopping around for a birthday present today and I just had to go to the AD to take a look at the stock. I was thinking about getting the Datejust but when I saw the LV... fell in love with it. It sure is alot larger than my Airking!

Congratulations!

With your new eyesight, you really won't need the maxi dial.

i had lasik done about 6 months ago and it is amazing. it took about three months for my eyes to fully come into focus for distance but now i see like a hawk. i would recommend it to anyone. as for the watch - beautiful.

Congrats on the LV and Lasik (I had both too...flipped the LV though, kept the eyes).

This Sept 1st will be exactly 11 yrs since the surgery and I'm happy to report I had an eye exam 2 months ago and still reading 20/15 in BOTH eyes. Not bad considering both eyes started at 20/300. Lasik is the BOMB...best money I ever spent - period!

I also went from AK to a Sub....very noticeable difference at first but will wear out with regular wear. Now, I don't even notice my Sub on.

Great choice in a watch.
