Thanks Greg. Prefers this. She's been wanting a Sub for ages, but her wrists are too dainty for either of mine, and she doesn't like leather or nato straps. Maybe I can get the DJ back now!

It looks like it wears a bit better, and I know, I thought one of your subs were as good as gone! I haven't seen one in the flesh but i've always liked the idea of his/hers Subs.

travisb · 14 February 2015, 11:30 PM

That looks great Adam!

bgolfo · 14 February 2015, 11:33 PM

Looks great !

brandrea · 14 February 2015, 11:36 PM

Adam, beautiful watch, congrats to you and to the Mrs.

incontrol · 14 February 2015, 11:37 PM

Awesome watch Adam! I did not know there was a mini sub. I wonder if my wife would like that for a daily watch! It looks great on your Mrs! Congrats!

red1108nyc · 15 February 2015, 01:21 AM

Looks fantastic Adam!

JayAK · 15 February 2015, 06:09 AM

I'm not usually into his'n'hers anything, but you're right, these do look pretty good together. ...and thanks again to everyone for the great comments.

joli160 · 15 February 2015, 06:48 PM

Very nice piece Adam, the size looks perfect on her.

That's awesome value Adam.

Huge congrats to both you and you're wife. It's a great looking watch.

forgedblades · 16 February 2015, 12:26 AM

Bought my wife a SS DJ for her birthday last year and she loves it but now Adam has me thinking about something else along these lines to give her options. Lovely watch and I love my new big block so...I'm gonna start looking. Hope the market is not driven up as a result of this post. LOL

Do you know about what year it was manufactured? I know RSC won't work on a lot of older Tudors (like mine).

rootbeer7 · 16 February 2015, 07:33 AM

Absolutely great looking watch. My search has started!

Aha. That explains it, as mine was a 1979. Thanks! Beautiful watch, and I wish you and your good lady a long and happy life with it.

Old Expat Beast · 16 February 2015, 10:24 AM

Thank you sir

rootbeer7 · 17 February 2015, 02:41 AM

thanks for your pm. Seen one that has 73090 between lugs, but 9440 on caseback. Is this possible? Suggested date of 1980???

SoonerTA · 17 February 2015, 06:07 AM

What a stunning time piece! Congrats

TimeToGo · 17 February 2015, 06:30 AM

A very nice looking watch, great lines!

Congrats.

stil · 17 February 2015, 08:04 AM

Nice bezel!

edgware14 · 17 February 2015, 08:27 AM

Very cool watch, I've seen different colour bezel inserts for that model if she ever fancied a bit of colour.

I don't know, sorry. It's hard to find a history of the mini sub references. Maybe the Tudor Anthology book?

Thanks, I just checked. There's a red one and a blue one on ebay for $799 each. That's almost what I paid for the whole watch!

edgware14 · 17 February 2015, 02:06 PM

Wow that's a lot!
Slightly cheaper here

http://www.chrono-shop.net/en/insert...190-73090.html

But I guess keep an eye out for a cheaper second hand one

Hmmm...165 euro. That's still quite a lot more than I paid for a GMT Pepsi insert recently...I guess they must be scarce or something. Luckily she likes the black one anyway

nowzen · 3 April 2015, 02:43 AM

Wow, nice watch... $1075 for watch AND overhaul is about as good as it gets.

RSC prices here (around half what most countries charge) also make it worth buying a fixer-upper, or something with no papers or service history (like this one).

I will PM you when I am in HK if that is OK? My Mrs would love a mini sub.....
