Pulled the trigger on a new SS Sub C!!!

I got a chance to try on the new SS Sub C over the weekend and immediately loved it!! I've owned the 16610 years ago but sold it as the bracelet just felt wrong to me. The new Sub C is so much more substantial and really feels great. After a little bit of noodling and negotiating, I pulled the trigger today. Should have it by Friday...can't wait!!!

Sounds good, even better if you were able to beat them down a little.
