Excellent photos of 2 very photogenic and highly desirable watches.
That sub looks very sharp in it's condition. ![]() Interesting to see that radiation sign on a watch, I'm not familiar with that watch but I expect it is highly collectible. ![]()

Yeah, I like the modern Blancpain FF, but that vintage one doesn't hold a candle to the vintage Rollies IMHO

Their welded in which is why there is NATO or ZULU on them. You can't take them out. I'm sure Dalton or someone else could clarify how they weld them in there.
