Took the plunge and bought an M Sub Date. Lovely apart from a minute mark on the bezel which I knew about, not sure whether I will even bother to replace it, any thoughts?

Delighted anyway....:D

cafejenna · 12 February 2011, 04:41 AM

SUPER COOL! Love this watch. Absolutel GEM, CLASSIC!! And...that little "mark" wont bother you in a week when you accumulate some others :)

Lion · 12 February 2011, 04:45 AM

Paul, very nice, as stated it will accumulate a few more marks through the years...enjoy!!!

Tools · 12 February 2011, 04:51 AM

Great score.,

That little blemish doesn't look like it has gone through the anodize... It'll probably smooth itself out after some wear.....

RJC · 12 February 2011, 04:54 AM

Congrats!!

I'd probably get a new insert, but keep it in reserve pending further wear & tear!!

mjclark32 · 12 February 2011, 04:56 AM

Johny · 12 February 2011, 07:27 AM

nice one.

serdal22 · 12 February 2011, 07:45 AM

Don't even think of that mark! It looks gorgeous, and the text on the inner chapter ring is mouth watering

Enjoy in good health

A minute mark next to a minute mark.

Pronounced, 'my-newt' and 'minnit', respectively.

Xpert37 · 12 February 2011, 08:03 AM

Looks great IMO. This is a keeper.

HL65 · 12 February 2011, 08:06 AM

Looks nice to me! Congrats!

AK40DJ50 · 12 February 2011, 08:18 AM

Very nice. Wouldn't give the mark a second thought.

paulgjohnston · 12 February 2011, 10:41 AM

Many thanks guys. When the watch arrived I couldn't really see it. It was only when I took the photo for here that I did. Not going to bother changing it. Thanks for all the kind words and advice, much appreciated.

Very nice Paul....Congratulations!!

OLJR · 12 February 2011, 06:21 PM

Surely this mark is just part of the piece's own unique character. A bit like a beauty spot. I would not replace it unless after some months wear it was really annoying me.

swatty · 12 February 2011, 06:24 PM

Looks good to me , enjoy it

paulgjohnston · 12 February 2011, 08:52 PM

More thanks! Yes the mark is there but I only say it when the picture was magnified to put on here!

hennabav · 12 February 2011, 08:58 PM

Nice choice!! Enjoy the classic!!
