An awesome watch! My grail watch as a matter of fact. You mention you are from southwest Va. Do you mind if I ask where? I went to H.S in Independence which is not far from Hillsville and Galax.

No kidding. Small world. When I first moved to the U.S. as a kid I remember my cousins from DC telling me when you see the big pencil you are not too far from where my Grandparents were living at the time. I still see it when I travel down to see my folks.

Very nice. You gotta love the red sub!

jasonbellevue · 12 April 2008, 12:47 PM

A true classic......what a beauty!!

I skimmed thru this thread, but no one explained the origin and history of the "red" Submariner.

Can someone fill me in? (I hate being the dumbest guy in the room.)

BiG JeEzY · 12 April 2008, 03:42 PM

What a beautiful watch, it looks like its in great condition too!

Hi Marrk, I found this to be a very good and informative link. Its two pages long so when your done with the first page, just click the next button at the bottom. I'm sure the vintage experts here can give you more resources though.
