LUGS Galore!!

I think the LUGS play an important role in determining the ruggedness and solidness of a watch!! What d'ya say, tossers?

Yes, I did like the rounded shape of those YM lugs. Pity I couldn't afford to keep that one too....it had to go to make room for the Blue Sub!!

Hmmmm.......on Subs, maybe, maybe not! But certainly NOT on a YM...it would spoil the whole look of the watch!!

On SS models sure, On TT or gold moldels I think think the more finished no lug holes look is better. But really how much of a tool wtch is a TT sub?
