Congrats! Such a classic. The 124060 is by far my most favourite watch in the collection.

Congrats on your great looking Sub! Personally, I'm not that excited over the lefty Sprite GMT, so I think you got the better watch. Wear it in good health. Cheers!

You could have gotten a Tudor and it would be better than the Sprite GMT.

As far as I'm concerned you got lucky and got the better watch by far, imo! Enjoy it, what could beat such a timeless classic? Cheers!

Enjoy!

I get it though. I was supposed to get a Pepsi but ended up with a Starbucks. It is what it is. Better than waiting indefinitely lol.
