Seems like a nice guy, but he stole my dream job. I love that Sub. That thing is just awesome on so many levels.

I watched this yesterday on Hodinkee, and I can't agree more, he definitely seems like a cool guy, and a COMPLETE watch nut! It was interesting to hear some of the things he said come from such a prominent person in the vintage world.
