Is your Red Sub a daily wearer, part of your regular rotation or is she purely a safe queen???

fusionstorm · 31 August 2010, 06:15 AM

I think that there is no reason not to wear one.. However, since some of the parts, especially the dial, are almost impossible to come by, some precautions should be taken..

Regular pressure checks.

Bracelet and spring bar integrity

Perhaps avoiding overtly hazardous activities

onkyo · 31 August 2010, 02:16 PM

Rotation.... the enjoyment is in wearing.

mike · 31 August 2010, 02:20 PM

Now a days more of a special occasion wear.

Like a combat zone?? Which is where mine was destroyed

Poohsan · 31 August 2010, 06:33 PM

It goes between daily wearer and part of the rotation. Once it gets rotated on to my wrist it stays for weeks at a time. Unless I am going to do some activity that is defiantly going to damage it like.... rock climbing or something.

My bracelet is worth almost as much as the dial, so sometimes use a NATO strap.

neilgader · 2 September 2010, 01:14 AM

Which bracelet do you mean?

robkassab · 13 September 2010, 02:33 PM

I wear it on occasion...same with my DRSD07.jpg

Frogman4me · 13 September 2010, 02:39 PM

Man, I want one so bad! If I owned one it would be part of a 6-7 watch rotation and worn a few times a month.

Davvan · 13 September 2010, 04:46 PM

This puppy gets action 3-4 days per week!!!

Pressured tested and good to go for a swim!!!

Mine is in the safety deposit box most of the time. My wife cringes when she sees me wearing it.......she's afraid it will get wrecked..........i wish she didn't know what it cost ;)

I wear my 16700 GMT alot of the time.

Tallguy · 16 September 2010, 05:17 AM

Howie · 28 September 2010, 09:36 PM

Not a daily wear watch, but remains one of my grail pieces.

Hey Jeff!! If you want it back, I'm sure we could work out a trade for your MF red........

Post some pics of yours in the wild. I remember it looking quite nice when you posted pics after you acquired it.

Beaumont Miller II · 29 September 2010, 09:49 AM

My red sub is a safe queen.

tgoose1 · 29 September 2010, 10:11 AM

Simply amazing what people will pay for a little red ink! I for one am very appreciative.

JohnEaton · 1 October 2010, 12:06 PM

I wear my occasionally with a 93150, almost never with a 9315. But still very happy with the old timepiece.

WouterN · 2 October 2010, 06:12 PM

Daily wearer for me. Only reason to take it off is to give the other watches (LV, SD) some wrist time :)
