It's a lot of money, but better than investing in the market these days...



We saw this on our NYC trip last month. I wanted to show my bride the bluesey in WG, but when I saw this one, it spoke to me. And at half the price...

...or is the blue in WG called the smurf? I can't keep all of these nicknames straight!

Thanks. Yes, three subs: black, green and blue! One for nearly every outfit.

And thanks to "MB23", Michael Russo, one of our trusted TRF vendors, for selling me the watch, and his patience while I sold enough plasma to pay for it.

OK, I think I've got it now:
- the blue/blue in white gold is called the smurf
- the blue/blue with two toned SS/gold is called the bluesey

correct?

Yup, you have the naming conventions correct now.

I also have a SubC (no date) and next on my list is the Hulk...

Congrats. This watch is becoming very popular on here. I prefer the looks over the smurf. The yellow gold, ss, and blue just look great together.
