Sub c that took awhile to c

Purchased and brought home a 116610LN,took me 5 hours to really fall in love with this watch..at first the c seemed tiny compared to that big lump of steel datejustII that I have been wearing daily,the lugs looked small and now look huge and deffinately awesome!now I can't keep my eyes off her,think I'll stay up all night staring at her blue eyes,I mean lume.

Will do..battery charging and i'll post pics.
The DJII is a beautiful watch,the rhodium dial and arabic numerals change different shades depending on the lighting,sometimes hard to see the time but gives you that extra second to stare at her..the only real disappointment is the lume that doesn't last more than 20 minutes,though it is a dressy watch and i don't think you need to be all glowy for too long.

Would hardly call any Rolex a big lump even the DSSD there are many far bigger and heavier watches out there.But today bigger heavier is not always better and the sub size is just about right even if you have large 8 inch plus wrist like myself..

Couldn't find the cable for the big gun to download so i grabbed a pocket camera..not that they'd look any better with the spensive camera...

This sub c is really a fantastically built and great looking swa,i mean watch.
My Datejust II is 2 seconds fast,i set her about 5 weeks back.so 2 seconds fast in 5 weeks makes it a keeepa!!...the subC looks about a 1/2 second fast in about 16 hours..also looks like a keeper.
