Newest addition...
Went to the AD today to discuss the DD that needs a shave (possibly a piece of lint!). Anyway, the watchmaker won't be in until Tuesday, so I was looking around a bit. Found this new Submariner still in plastic.
Interesting in that instead of a hologram, it had just a plain clear sticker with the model number, and an ID card. Manager told me that the clasp on this watch is a change from previous, but I don't know. I really like its classic styling, and probably feel a bit better about knocking-around in it. Thanks for all the advice on the hairy DD (you guys are hilarious). Will take it in Tues. Take care, all. |

I still like JJ's TT blue Sub. Debated between that and the SS I picked-up...would like to still get it, but hesitate at having 2 Subs for some reason. Also looked at the Daytona meteorite and I believe the GMT anniv in all gold? THAT's a lot of gold to wear around!
Wasn't really intending to show off the pens, but needed the pen box to prop-up the watch. Watches and pens...definitely a passion for both! Thanks all. |

Thanks Chris...in fact, it was your recommendation from a previous post to consider the SS black Sub, which I had in mind when I was at the AD. If you like Montblanc, you may recognize the 4th pen from the left. It's the ball point of a matched 3-piece set of the writer's edition Marcel Proust. I generally write with fountain pens, but this ball point still gets some action from time to time. Lot's of comments on my pens...few to none on the watches. Interesting.

Yep Steve, that's the Proust ball point, fountain pen in my pocket now. Far left is a sterling Waterman Edson. Far right is a Krone black etched.

You know I love the Proust ballpoint. I bought one myself off e-scam about 4 years ago, sealed in the box. I've never opened it, I thought I might take it to an x-ray machine at the local courthouse, just to see that I didn't buy an empty box
Somehow, I don't think I can complain 4 years later. Proust is one of the nicer montblanc limited editions. It is a classic, like the Sub |

Why do you think it was changed?? Judging from the photo, it looks pretty much the same old thing to me. Okay, there DOES seem to be a deeper than usual indention in the "link pattern" across the clasp just right and left of the Coronet, but I guess it is due to reflection from the camera.

Sounds just like a song title. Could be Elton John? "There's something about the way your DD looks tonight...."

Beautiful watch - an all time favorite throughout the world. But You'te got me worried...... Should I be using my Mont Blanc s and Colibri s, or should I have them in a box......? |

I don't want to say having a SS Sub and a TT Sub is a "waste" that would be wrong. My 1st Rolex was a SS Sub then I found a shop that had a Blue TT Sub that I had to have. When I wear my SS I miss my TT. It's the same watch but it's like watching TV or a movie, more enjoyable in color. Even though I have 2 Rolexes, I feel like it's only one. I need to branch out on models, I guess.
