Really nice. I like it.

Dm Robinson Canary Wharf still have the s&g I posted 2 weeks ago if anyone is inclined. 3.4k but pretty good value I think.

OP you made a great choice there, that is a fantastic looking watch and the price is very reasonable as well.

Not that you care (and you shouldn't) what I think but imo I don't think any of those watches look big on you. They look very comfortable on your wrist.

I know

But as for comfort, nothing in my collection beats the 34/36mm pieces. Even though I wear them less and less these days...they just disappear on wrist.

Great pictures! Huge congrats on the beauty! Especially nice to see the S&G gold coating thickness on the bracelet. Enjoy it in the best of health.

Thanks everyone!!

Accuracy has been great, gained a little over a second over the last week. Can't complain there right?

I'm happy to report accuracy has been great for the last couple weeks...fingers crossed it won't drift too far after break in period.

Most will agree; the 5612 accuracy is superb. As it is on my Pelagos, too.
Man, the more I look at the S&G what a great watch.
Looking forward to next month

Trying out a new look...on the Ranger straight endlink bracelet.

The "gold tone" is further dialed back, gives it a more sporty look I think.

You're right about the gold being toned down. I think it compliments the watch instead of dominating it. Would love to see a two tone Sub like this. Great pickup and beautiful watch!

I like your photos too... gives great perspective.
