Out of Storage!!

Well my friends,I hate to admit it but I just pulled this old thing out of the safe and instantly fell back in love....I knew I kept this for a reason!!

So it's been sitting in the air lock for 10 months and totally neglected! Pulled her out for some air,and boy am I glad I did!!!
To all those who have a ND Sub,what a classic!!
Lately I've been wearing only 2...The SD and the YM(the SD is currently in the hospital)....I really need to rotate better!!
So,the moral of the story is to rotate.......You may rediscover a long lost friend!!!

That's a beauty Rob. You need to keep her in your rotation more often.

Like this shot...

This is the definitive classic Rolex for me.
Congrats on the 're-find'... wish I had so much money I could put away a Rolex for 10 months and not miss it.
