2008 : Buy my first Sub

2008-2018 : Buy a ton of watches to build a "collection" sell literally each one because I end up wearing the Sub all the time. Rinse, repeat, lose a lot of money.

2019 : Dumbest decision in my watch hobby history, sell the Sub. Been wearing my Apple Watch for a while, figure I might be out of the hobby for good so decided to sell the Sub.

2021 : Get back into watches hard during COVID, pick up the 124060

2023 : AD somehow allocates me a BLNR, similar enough, so I sell the 124060

2023 : I miss the Sub, ask AD for one, eventually get a 126610.

2024 : Get a couple of "heavy hitters" I thought I'd never get. Contemplate selling the Sub.

Today : Check the time. Oh, I'm wearing the Sub. Been wearing it the last couple of days without noticing. What a boring watch, but damn it it's also so perfect and easy to wear. Just a perfect watch.

2024 get a couple of heavy hitters what the hell is heavy hitters.
