It is amazing to me how little the no-date sub has changed over the years, and your picture just proves it. I guess that is a FACT

This thread will 'disappear' if we list too many passionately-stated facts - FACT!

Yes,

but not necessarily better!

The new DD is too big for me, elegance has gone, but that's only my personal opinion.

You should have a pic of the deepsea next to it...

Too bad your sub dial and hands were redone/don't match.
