Only on this site does the Sub engender such passion among owners. Simplicity, purity and faithfulness to the original Sub are most often cited as what people like. If you check the archives you'll find this watch and comparisons with the Sub Date consume more server space than the genome maps.
When I acquired mine I didn't realize there was this friendly little cult here. It was a year or so after the release of the ceramic version, my AD had this one sitting around, explained the differences and offered me a great deal.
There's the older case design, the older bracelet (the new one is a significant upgrade) pre-maxi dial and the lugs (oh, the lugs!!!) none of which I delved into very deeply at the time, and make no difference to me now. I love the watch.
