Red Sub in Sydney

I saw red Sub in Sydney's Strand Arcade (the Vintage Watch Co). Service hands, bezel and date wheel. But it was priced accordingly. Not something you will see very often in Sydney.

Good spot. I saw one on an elderly gentleman's wrist in Sydney (Paddington) years ago, while waiting to cross the road. I should have offered to buy it from him!

I remember a couple of year's ago someone struck up a conversation with my father (an elderly gentleman) and offered him $1000 for his MKI 1655

(Not that I think your offer would have been as unreasonable).

23k... AUD

And I'm sure there is room to negotiate.

I wouldn't buy it. The bright lume on the hands is enough to put me off.

The Great White they also have at 19k is more attractive.

But I'm not in the market for a 4 digit at the moment.
