Incoming!! Red Sub has arrived!

It seems like I've been searching for the right red sub for a long time. I initially paid a visit to Jacek at HQMilton, and his advice to me was to just wait for something special (keep in mind, he had two red subs in stock at that time). Looking at red subs on Instagram and TRF had been driving me crazy. I finally stumbled across this one, and, after a conversation with the seller, I knew this was the right one. Great history of the watch, amazing condition, and it even came with punched paperwork! I increased my initial red sub budget for this one, but it was worth it.

Really loving it so far!

Killer looking watch......look at that insert with the kissing 40 along with that killer dial/case. Looks like a winner, congrats.

Amazing, I really need to get into vintage more. These vintage incomings always impress me more than a brand new platona, you can't beat the classics.
