I have had 3 subs and 3 GMTs over the years plus a Tudor sub.Some were in steel,some 2 tone but none ever scratched the itch.Nice watches yes,but never really what I hankered after.My grail was forever out of reach,until the events of this week.
I dare say fate seemed to have had a big part in events.Firstly,I arranged to take a weeks holiday as we have are having a short term 'lull' at work.Suggested on Monday to the wife that we take a trip out for lunch.Called in at the local AD just to browse at a few models.I was toying with either trading my BLNR up for a two tone or possibly adding one.When we had nearly a table covered with watches,the sales chap mentioned they had an 18ct sub in.I thought I will have a look as this has always been my grail piece since I have been seriously into watches.He then told me they had sold it originally to the owner and had just taken it in PX for a Skydweller.I don't like taking figures on here,but a 2011 116618 LB with box and papers with the piece of mind of buying from an AD and 12 month warranty for less than anything currently on Chrono 24!
Now I went away saying the timing wasn't right,we have just moved house,however I knew I could let that slip through my hands.The BLNR had to be PX as I couldn't raise the full amount,but now I have finally the watch I always really wanted,but had been out of reach until now

Kind Regards
