I have been looking for a ss green submariner for a long time. Well since January. Not wanting to pay a premium on the grey market I opted for this instead.
Didn't intend to purchase it today but it was sitting in the window of the AD and it kind of just happened.

For those interested they reatained the warranty card for 12 months but left the stickers on. They also said that they were expecting a price increase of 5% is due on 1st October. I'm in the UK.

Great looking watch! Looks like a good little combo you have there between the explorer and the gmt.

I may need that Explorer to pair with my Explorer II.

Gorgeous.
