A tradegy

A mil sub and they have given it a complete restoration, luminova hands and dial etc and polished off the mod markings, this is assuming its real which it probably is. such a shame and now they want $26k for it...

I wasn't going to comment, but I agree 10000% Pav, leave the Damn things alone, buy a new sub to wear as a beater and pop the classics in a glass case

Someone should be flogged. They will never get this price for what would have been a watch that would have fetched close to $100K. What a disaster.
