Incoming: TT Sub 126613LN

It may not be the most popular choice, but the black dial TT sub has always been a must have for me and I'm beyond thrilled to add this to my collection.

About 2 weeks ago, I got the call from my AD for a Batgirl. After REALLY thinking about it, I realized that the only reason why I wanted that watch was because everyone else wanted it. I'm just not that kind of person. I turned it down and switched to the 126613LN.

I hate that I got caught up in the desirability of certain models but I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity. Couldn't be happier!

Picked up the same model 2 weeks ago. Stunning watch in person - More Black and minimal Gold just comes together really well. I have seen this on a black rubber strap as well - turns into a glorious watch if you don't want to use steel/gold bracelet.

I have a 116613LB and it’s great, but I might add a LN to my collection with the sole purpose of putting on a black Rubber B. Looks amazing in rubber

As an LB owner myself that LN looks excellent on you. And kudos to you for buying what you like and navigating past the hype. Wish there were more like you out there!
