A Good Flight

[No SUBctitute]

I was on a several hour flight today and got bumped up to first class. The gentleman in the row in front of me (a very interesting young Indian fellow with an Australian accent who runs his dad's paint and chemical company out of Dallas) was wearing a yellow gold blue dial Sub.

When I commented on his gold Sub and pointed out my SS Sub, he immediately took off his Sub and handed it to me. I was surprised at first, but handled it gently for about 10 seconds and handed it back to him. It felt VERY nice. Its the first time seeing that reference in the flesh. I don't normally like yellow gold, but the yellow gold offset with the blue dial and bezel was stunning. I now prefer it to the white gold.

A guy two rows up had a Deep Sea and I spoke with him and we chatted about the size of it versus the Sub. And a young lady in the row behind me had a SS DJ 28 with diamond adorned dark grey dial. I've never seen such concentration of Rolexes--4 Rolex in 4 rows--on a plane (other than my flight back to the States from Geneva).
