Back into modern watches! 126610LN incoming

[bob78h]

Stepped away from watches for the last few years. It was too crazy and no longer fun, since everything was impossible to get without jumping through hoops or paying a premium. Plus I live in a major city where demand is crazy, I was told they get 40+ requests every day for a steel Sub.

I've been wearing my vintage 1960 GMT 1675 a lot in the meantime, but was thinking about adding back a modern Sub someday. With the GMT being quite old and hard to replace, I find that I'm babying it a lot. So I've been toying with the idea of getting a modern Sub to complement it.

I didn't seriously pursue the Sub, but was on the list at my local AD for about a year and would drop by every few months to check in. Stopped by on Saturday to find the sales person I worked with is no longer working there.

To my surprise, I got a call this morning from the new sales person I had just met, telling me they had a Sub for me! Apparently she asked her manager and I guess they felt bad that I had been waiting for so long, so they made it happen. Completely unexpected, honestly I had assumed they just threw my info in the trash since I had zero purchase history.

Anyway, pic below. Loving the Sub so far, it is definitely everything I expected. Not as comfy as my vintage GMT, but feels much more robust, a real tank. And I have to admit, it's kind of nice having a quick set date again.
