Icon14 Got more than 1 Sub? Show us your Submariner collection!

You guys know I love Subs, and I am not talking about cheesesteaks...although that sounds delicious right now

Many of us are blessed enough to own more than 1 Submariner. Please share with us some photos that include more than 1 in a single photo. I know some of you own many and have yet to take a group shot so I hope this encourages you to do so even though I know its a pain to get them all out of the safe

I only have 3 so far but I see many more subs in my future as I just can't get enough of them



















DOH! Sry guys






















Thanks for sharing

My photo skills are only just coping with single shots never mind group hugs.... But I've got the camera (Nikon D300) so just need a macro lens and to learn how to use it The trouble is ...it came with a big book and you know what happens to big instruction manuals......

No sweat guys I know its a big hassle to stop by the bank take all the subs out and take a photo and have to put them all back. Just one day you guys have to do it and take a bunch of photos and never do it again...lol

You and Ken would make a masterpiece of a photo with your sub collections in one pic. I wonder how Mike Wood does it?? Must take a whole day to just get them, set it up, take a photo and put them all back..lol

I wish I had that problem!!!

Cheers

Sorry no vintage... yet!

I'm lusting after a vintage Sub or SD, but in the meantime, these non-vintage models keep me satisfied until that day!

Would you be so kind as to tell us the maker(s) of your leather straps?

Thx.

A bit OT, but is that one of those German Rainer watch boxes? It looks really nice.
