Excuse me but I think it is the "Non-Date Submariner" thread.

I love my DJ, but I really want a Sub. Definitely going to be my next purchase. I love the looks and style of them, classic and modern at the same time.

My one and only is a 14060.

But I'd probably cut off my foot for that milsub.

<can's post pics with my iPhone though>

Sorry a foot won't do it... I've already offered Ken an arm and a leg! He said he'd take my right side so that would leave me my left wrist to wear the MilSub on!!

you have lug holes on your sub, a bit easier to remove bracelet.....try one ZULU or NATO
what have you got zulus?

I want to keel my arms for the watches...that's why I'd be willing to forego a foot.

For your RAF...did you get it from Corvus? And is yours the thicker fabric that they've recently started using? I have a Corvus Admiralty...and I'm not crazy about the fabric.

Yip it is Corvus and yip, it is on the flimsy side, but I think that actually makes the look more authentic.
I would put it on a proper G10 if I was off to climb a mountain but I find the Corvus is fine for my day to day wear (and I'm pretty hard on watches, even in the course of a normal day).

I'm convinced! I'm ordering it now. In 18mm of course!

I'm also slightly annoyed at the hole locations...they are a bit more spreadout than most NATOs and I'm right in-between holes (of course).

No matter...it looks totally badass, so I'm going for it!

I hope you're as happy with yours as I am with mine. I feel responsible now, since I have clearly been your enabler!!

I measured the gap and at a very rough guess I think it's 6mm between holes.

I've been kicking the idea around for a while. I started with the Corvus NATO Admiralty. Then I got an olive drab and black/grey/black Maratac NATO.

I think the Bond RAF in 18mm will round out the collection nicely!

I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives.

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing it! As an alternative to the bracelet I think it's best for the one, true Sub!
