Was offered new Sub date by AD

[VogelPhoenix]

Went to one of the local ADs today to see if we could have a look at some of the new releases. Wife asked about a Sub first and to my surprise they SA went and came back with a black Sub date. Quite nice, even though I'm really looking for a 124060. Proportions seem perfect to me, and I didn't have any problem with the wider bracelet.

In any case, while I was trying to predict my wife's reaction if I just bought the watch on the spot, the SA finally let the cat out of the bag: If I wanted to Sub we'd also have to buy an in-stock two-tone Datejust ($14k+ minimum) or a Day-date. We went back-and-forth a bit, but couldn't find a combination that even remotely made sense (if they had had a green dial Day-date 40 in stock things might have gotten interesting).

We also looked at some of the new OPs. They had the green (nice) and silver (a bit too understated) dials. Surprisingly, the 41mm really looked too big for my wife, who has a SS Daytona as her daily and has currently also borrowed my 47mm Radiomir. We put our name down for a 36mm OP, but we'll see what BS they come up with once they have a turquoise model in hand.

Embarrasingly, I was too occupied rattling off acceptable (to me) suggestions for bundles to take any pictures
