A very unexpected incoming of the most iconic and arguably, best, modern dive watch!

I had been asking local ADs for a Submariner for around 4-5 months now with no luck. Unsurprisingly. My parents recently went on a cruise and I asked them to keep an eye out for a Sub at some of their stops along the way. To my complete surprise, my mom called me last Thursday to say that she had found a Sub.

Of course I had to pull the trigger! Now comes the long wait to Thanksgiving to put it on my wrist when I visit the fam back in NJ. Here’s to a long 2 months ahead!

And of course this wouldn’t be complete without a pic!

Congrats! Surprised your parents found you one while on a cruise. Most of those high traffic tourist areas are usually dry. Congrats again
