The time has come… My road to PM!

[The Sub-lime One]

Hi all,

I can’t remember the last time I started a thread here. This may be a bit long so please bear with me!

After a difficult few months, including the loss of my young mother unexpectedly within a short period of time due to the big C, I felt it was the right time. I now live with the mantra that if you are in a position to do something, there is really no reason to wait as there is no tomorrow.

10 years ago I joined this forum and have learnt so much along the way – my first one was a 114060 ND Sub that I wore proudly for over two years. Several more came and went and the last two I have battered to death since 2017 are my BLNR and LVc – both bought at list I must add before the madness began!

Although I didn’t need to, I decided to let the LVc go in part exchange today. I have enjoyed that watch over the years but it was always second best to my BLNR and If I’m being honest, I think the green had run it’s course for me. I have read a few threads here recently with members expressing remorse on letting it go but it was hardly worn over the last couple of years so I think I made the right decision.

When I joined this forum, my tastes were very different and seeing pictures of gold watches made me cringe… How things change as we age eh?

Now for the incoming – I have looked at pretty much every iteration of this watch over the years and can honestly say I pretty much like them all now. Having said that, there was one in particular that I always went back to partly thanks to the numerous photos posted here by members of this forum. It’s just timeless to me and gives me the ancient Rome/Egypt nostalgia vibes. Add the fact that it was first introduced in 1956 which was Mum’s birth year makes it even more special to me.

So here it is, apologies for the poor pics but my I’ve never been known for my photography skills!

Thanks for reading
