Hi,

I'm searching for an early Sub... Have found this one online.

It's in Southend, UK, a bit away from me so wanted a first opinion before I went to view!

I love how it has 'faded blue' like my DRSD...

What does everyone think?

Also has anyone got anything good / bad to report about www.watchagency.co.uk?

Thanks!!!

The hands don't appear to be original to the watch, and the hour markers look a little suspicious as though they might've been relumed (but I'm not sure). The faded bezel insert is very cool!

When buying vintage, it is hugely important to buy the seller. Do some research on a company, as well as the watch, to ensure you're dealing with reputable, knowledgeable people (no aspersion meant on this co, as I've never heard or read a thing about them).

Great... Thanks for the advice! Having visited more and more places I'm really starting to undertaking the whole philosophy of buying the seller not the watch!!!
