I also love the Dj41 Fluted Rodhium in Oyster but think i should go for a sub first..

thanks

This is what it looked like at one of the AD's near my home a few hours ago. They were using one of the display cases to display a couple Wolf winders.

Great idea! How much is it to hire a helicopter to take you around those?

Well, near Rome you can visit AD’s in Latina, Perugia and Viterbo. I saw black Sub in AD’s window very often
BTW, I bought my BLNR in Tenerife month ago after 21 days of waiting with 100% deposit

Managed to pick up a SubC Date from a small dealer in Saronno Italy. Was sitting in the display. This was back in April
