Both stunning in their own rights, guys.

The stunning Platinum of Platty and the Black Beauty of the Sub!!! Both winners!!

ROLEX MAN · 14 May 2008, 04:45 PM

If I had to pick I would take the one you give me.

harvey · 14 May 2008, 04:47 PM

jj, it has to be the sub... just because of the history of it being a gift.

You got the "gift" part spot-on, my friend!!

jasonbellevue · 14 May 2008, 04:51 PM

They're both winners, but the Sub gift is way more special, and I know you will cherish it for a long time, my friend.

Forever, Jason, forever!!

I'm partial to the Sub-Date since I have one also and it was my first. That YM sure is beautiful though.

Tony-GB · 14 May 2008, 07:17 PM

Both stunners, but my personal choice is the YM. My idea of the perfect watch.

SSD · 15 May 2008, 03:28 AM

Hmmmmmmm. Subby? Platty?

YES!

Hamilton Carvalho · 15 May 2008, 04:15 AM

Great pics JJ; because of the beautiful gesture from Bubba, my pick is the Sub.

This Sub is a symbol of friendship!

Bobareno · 15 May 2008, 05:21 AM

Good watches, great friends....... JJ you have BOTH!

You are one lucky guy, opps forgot all your sheep!

Dan Pierce · 15 May 2008, 05:32 AM

Two beauties, JJ!

dP

Coastal1 · 15 May 2008, 05:37 AM

Both are stunners. The sub is very special in my book.......priceless! I have to admit you have me thinking about that yacht master though.

Klink · 15 May 2008, 02:31 PM

At the end of the day, life is about the relationships we form with other people. The Sub speaks loudly.

topcat30093 · 15 May 2008, 02:39 PM

JJ, though both are great watches in their own rights

It would have to be the Sub

Firstly, for the great gesture to you from Bubba

Secondly, the Sub was the first Rolex that I ever bought and it will always remain special.

Enjoy that watch JJ, like I know you will.

jgreene1672 · 15 May 2008, 03:13 PM

Was wondering when you were gonna send me a watch, I'll take platty. Sent you a pm with my address ;)

SPACE-DWELLER · 15 May 2008, 11:25 PM

If I should choose only ONE watch of the two, I'd go for the SS Sub Date. Great watch for everyday use! But you have ultimate versatility with the pair you have now. Great looking combo!

f16570 · 15 May 2008, 11:35 PM

Tough call JJ, but the Sub is a beauty

Trurolexer · 16 May 2008, 12:36 AM

You have two WONDERFUL Rolex, JJ!!! Congrats!!! But I think Sub more STUNNING!!!

Steven79 · 16 May 2008, 12:39 AM

They are both such beauties JJ! One day I will also buy a YM. Love it!

oneillba · 16 May 2008, 02:58 AM

JJ,

Err... both look fine to me. But based upon pure emotion, I would pick the Sub in your case.

Dalton · 16 May 2008, 03:02 AM

that Sub is gorgeous and Platty too.

pol · 16 May 2008, 11:47 AM

Gotta go with the Sub JJ...its a beauty. Great pics!

East Bay Rider · 16 May 2008, 12:17 PM

Always preferred the sub to the platty.

JJ Irani · 16 May 2008, 04:53 PM

So I guess I can consider myself lucky to have both, uh?

shedlock2000 · 16 May 2008, 05:58 PM

I missed the comming of the sub soomewhere JJ, whats the story? I gather it was a gift. You are turly a good friend to someone to recieve that gift. This does not surprise me though as i have found you to be a true reprabate amongst tossers!

I think it takes a special man to carry off a yaght master. I tried on on at my AD's before choosing the GMT IIc, it was a hell of a watch, too much for me though, so i would go for the quiet understated pedigree of the sub. The working watch, the quiet refinement of hundreds of navy officers and divers choosing this watch to be thier choice. However, for you. It has to be the platty, its a shiney pristine beauty of a watch.

This said though, a gift of a timeless classic like the sub, from a close friend.....do you really need to ask??? There is really no question.
