Goodbye royal oak, hello red sub!

So as some of you know on here, I lost my job over the summer and liquidated most of my collection so I had cash on hand if need be. Well I got a great job again and had plenty of funds leftover so I felt it was time to put the gang back together so to speak.

I had gotten a Royal Oak 15300 around a year ago, and while it is a magnificent watch, it just wasn't really me. I also had lots of issues with it magnetizing and running fast and slow, so I traded it in today for a stunning 1680 red sub.

Feels good to be back!

A few more details, the serial is 3.2M, making it around 72/73 with a Mark IV dial. Has silver date wheel, original fat font bezel insert with pip.














Sent from a block of 904l steel
