Curmudgeons I am sorry............
but I have returned to the dark side....mmwhahaha!
The Sub C is back in and my 5 month old mixed serial 16610 will be sold. I have prayed to the Rolex gods and I have reconciled with the only fault I could find with the Sub C, the lugs. We are now one again and all is right in the universe! I just missed the upgrades (to me at least they are upgrades) of the Sub C too much. I still love the old style Subs just as much as I ever have. However Curmudgeons, I am sorry but I have strayed and I don't forsee going back again. I am a Modernista and I have to let that shine!

by selling your classic Sub, you may have welcomed someone new to the Rolex obsession... many of us start out by buying pre-owned... so don't feel too bad...

I don't feel bad at all. In fact, I just sold it 2 minutes ago. Someone will be enjoying it very soon.

Well, if history has a chance of repeating itself, you should have a different watch with 3 months!

Even if you repent, this will be a stain on your
permanent record. Curmudgeons forgive, but we
never forget .

Live long and prosper with your modernistas .
