The REAL differences between my 2 Subs!!

Hi guys,

Have a close look at these 2 pics. Notice that the steel Sub has a FLAT "S" on the word SUBMARINER and a straight 'l' on 'l000'.

The TT, on the other hand, has a ROUND "S" and a '1' on '1000'.

JJ that's a great picture of your blue Sub, I can see that little Rolex crown in the glass that Aadil always points to on his watches but I can never see.

Well, in all fairness to Aadil, the coronet etching is probably easiest to spot against the BLUE dial of the Sub.

Even on my Black SS Sub, it's not very easy.

Good question, Chris.

Answer: BOTH, yes and no!!

I love it too much and would like to hold on to it if I can find a job soon enough......otherwise, sadly, it will have to go!!

Awww, you're such a good sport, JJ. Your flat "S" is such a legendary topic, I couldn't resist. You know how it is, Tosser...

All joking aside, it would be interesting to note from other members who own these two models whether they would by any chance have the FLAT "S" with this 1 or perhaps a ROUND "S" with this l ?
