Milsub Moral Dilema What Would You Do???

[ROGERB]

I have had 2 similiar things occur. About 2 years ago dealing with a guy who notices my Sub date and tells me he has an old one like mine that he doesn't wear at home in a drawer. He had showed it to his neighbor and he was amazed how much his neighbor had offered him for it, something like 2 grand! He had owned it from new and since it did have scratched all over the "plastic crystal" thought it was too much dough. Oh the difference between mine besides the saphire crystal ( mine's a 16610) is his has the word Submariner in RED. I told him why he may want to not sell it to his neighbour....

A year ago another guy again notices my watch(wearing an Omega GMT white) and he's wearing a Rolex he bought new ... Explorer II but the orange arm had faded and the paint was gone from the bezel numbers. Had taken it to the jeweller who services Rolex (not an ad) who said he could service it but it may be (over 500.00) better to Trade it for a new Citizen and he'd give him 200.00 on trade...
I again pointed out why thAT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA.... just the way my Mother raised me....
