Rich:

No finer way to start a collection than starting with a SS Date Submariner. It is a beautiful watch. Nice pictures as well. Congratulations and wear it in good health.

Enjoy your stay here and be prepared for your next watch. It's like the old commercial: Nobody can have just one.

Richard,
You don't get much more classic than that. Now the bad news: one leads to two, then three, and so on and so on...................................
Welcome to TRF.
