Not a bad idea JJ. Personally though, i'd just keep one for each wrist for a few years. Oh and congrats on the new watch!

Love my Sub!
Congrats JJ!

I am still loving my 16610!

I am glad I got it 6 months ago as I believe it is very difficult to find in the UK now!

Cheers

I leave TRF for a bit and come back to JJ with ANOTHER 16610? Why a second one?

Maybe it's for me!
