With all the hue & cry over the super, splendid new releases in Basel today, I'm none-the-less very glad to still be swimming around my cosy little vintage goldfish bowl, where 'old' and 'classic' rule the roost. Cheers!

Lovely looking Sub you have there my friend... I am with you today with all this talk of ceramic WG Pepsi I was wearing my 16750 and really pleased I have the privilege to own such a gorgeous looking watch.

she's back home...

FedEx just delivered my 1601 built in 1964 back from ABC Watchwerks in Los Angeles. They sure did a nice job on it. Hard to believe it is 50 years old. I think it is a classic.

Many thanks Andy - your 16750 is a rugged beauty! Love the patina, and fade on the insert. Just gorgeous. Cheers my friend.

Thanks. You're right it turned out quite nice. Every time I look at it I just can't believe it is half a century old.
