My Inspiration To Vintage Sub

After seeing this on details.com a few months ago, I was inspired to buy a vintage Sub over a modern Sub LV. I've had my 1970 5513 for over a month now and I'm loving it more everyday!

x2... and this BUGS me, and I see it everywhere, especially when talking about combinations of straps and watches: "It compliments the rustic look and adds a bit of extra sprezz."

The Gant guy may have said it, which is fine, but the 'writer' wrote/typed it.


It's complements, not "compliments," - different words, with different meanings, Mr. Villagomez ("Andrew Villagomez is a men's lifestyle and travel writer , and a Details Network contributor"). Is he indeed...

Modern subs don't even come close to matching the charm of a vintage sub.
