A bit of a dilemma.......

[expensivetaste]

So if you've read my introduction thread you know that once upon a time I owned a Red Sub that unfortunately was damaged beyond repair in Iraq. Some of you might sneer at the though of wearing such a watch in an environment such as that , but I consider it a tool. I do not buy things and not use them as intended, especially watches, and vehicles. I am in at a point in my life that I can start enjoying watches again, but im stuck between replacing my Red sub, or pulling the trigger on the absolutely stunning new Sub-c!

[dddrees]

Go with your heart. Take a breather and think about it. It sounds as if you would much rather have the red Sub, are you sure the new SubC will work for you?

Only you can know for sure.

[bayerische]

Do you still have the red-sub, or was it trash?

If I was you, I might get the new one, since the one (if forever lost) you wore in Iraq is not coming back... You might get a similar watch, but not the one you had on you.

I do not have the original unfortunately......you are correct in saying it wouldnt be the same. hell maybe ill get both in due time of course!

Welcome Home!

If you're looking to buy the Red Sub for the sake of nostalgia, I can understand that.

It sounds as if the Sub-c would fit the bill nowadays though...

[Dr. Robert]

The new 116610 sub is very sharp, I saw & tried one on....you'll like it.

[expensivetaste]

Not home yet , but thank you.....I cant seem to get away from the urge to make money!! I am currently somewhere in the Indian Ocean providing security against Somali pirates. Oddly enough we have had several search and seize ops and ive found even the pirates have an affinity for fine timepieces stolen no doubt, but impressive for someone who lives in a hut!

[rfknauss]

Winston, I would go for the new Sub C. You have certainly earned the right to enjoy that gorgeous baby on your wrist!

I wouldn't sneer at you wearing the sub in Iraq. In fact, I would expect it from someone who would jump out a perfectly good airplane (airborne airborne all the way, airborne airborne everyday)

I would get both. First the Sub C

[esm]

if I were you and have the luck and the means to obtain and own both - I would do it in a heartbeat.

(problems solved... No?)

Man I hated that repetitive cadence in school out of all of the schools I attended that was by far the worst....over and over and over

INDEED, although it would take time I think that is what im going to do! Thanks

[esm]

that would be the win-win situtation!
Good luck and look forward to hearing the good news ;-)

It has been 4 years since airborne school and I still sometimes say it in my head when I go for a run. I do not think I will ever forget it.

[expensivetaste]

were you at Polk? are you still in?

[InVision]

Winston I would get a new sub while you wait for just the right deal on a replacement for your lost sub. I am sure you will not get many sneers here about wearing a tool watch. Thanks for your service to our country!

Mike

[WARVET]

Thanks for your service, You deserve whatever watch you like, If I go back to the AOR I will wear my GMTII at all times.

[z32turbo]

Definitely go for the new Sub-C.

Now pics of THAT would be cool.

Pull the trigger.

[want to be]

God bless you! For the protection.

unfortunately we are not able to take pictures of the suspects for personal use....

[dalip]

You must like the new case to get the sub C....it really is a different watch, especially in terms of feel.

I'd get the one you miss.....and the newer one later.
