Great choice mate, and many congratulations. Wear it in good health.

Of all my watches, the SubDate gets the most wrist time and is the one, ahem, that I think off when wearing something else

Sorry for the Hijack, but is the dial on your TT Blue, tritium Allan?
I've meant to ask before it just looks like it is marked Swiss T<25?

Yes Mark, it's Tritium! Alas, long since lost all of it's lume...

I have entertained the thought of re-luming it (AND my GMT, AND my DJ), but it really doesn't bother me that much, and I have been told that the value of the watch is diminished when this procedure is done.
