can't imagine parting with such a great example either Karl, especially given its special place in TRF history as a foundation watch of this thread!

Beautiful Sub. I sat looking at it for a couple of minutes, really like the clean look without the Cyclops.

So, have tritium-dialed, pierced-lug 5 digit references become vintage yet ?

For us early-5-digit lovers is no fun anymore at the other subforum. Everything seems to be about Ceramics, Glidelocks, Chromalight and the other “improvements” over there…

And us, with our rattly bracelets and dials that wont glow any more, are left in Rolex Limbo ! Can I play here with this one ?
