I care about watches and not about "cool dudes" that wear them. I could not care less if any celeb or anyone else used to wear this or that.

I have a Sub, but I've never been considered what people call "cool." Maybe it's the car I drive.

Cool watch, but unfortunately we've all run across enough Sub-wearing D-bags out there to know the original question begs the question.

You can't just buy your way into coolness.

Dunno if I'd be considered cool with my Subs but the rockin' little girl who'll someday inherit them is cool as a cucumber

Blue of course, the lume matches perfectly as it is an OEM second hand :)

OEM Rolex parts, the second hand is from a Yachtmaster and the date wheel is from a Turn-o-graph.

I still wasn't cool even though I had a Sub, so I had to get another one in an attempt to double-up on coolness.
