Icon3 Jealous

I must say I'm jealous of alot of you who own the blue subbies..
Blue is a favorite color of mine but yet the all steel black dial
still has an understated look to it..

I hope to own a sub one day even tho 1,000's of people have them..
All i have is my lonely datejust with it's light brown dial and a YM
wannabe by Invicta...

I must say that my "bluey" is my dream watch, I was on the waiting list for 18 agonising months but when I got the call it was like all my birthdays came at once.

Today my AD always has one in the window, and even though there's one on my wrist and despite the other beautiful models, my eye is always drawn to the bluey in the display.

Another, I was at Cape Canaveral in January 2006 to watch the Pluto space shot (aborted with 90 seconds to go because of high altitude winds) in the gallery was an Hispanic guy with a blue sub, it looked absolutely fantastic with his skin colouring (as a brit my natural colouring is pale blue, it takes a damn week of sunbathing to go white before i can tan,lol) and i spent most of my time looking at his wrist instead of the launch-pad,lol

I'm sure that you'll own one in the near future and have a lifetime romance, you will not be disappointed

Here's a pic of my bluey, just out of the box back from a service.

I know how you feel! I waited for almost 30 years before I was in a position to spend on myself. Here's mine 2 months old.

Beautiful watches to say the least. Glad I own one
As impressive as it is I'm already really wanting a TT GMT II though (as an addition not a replacement of course )

The blue sub is nice. Just keep looking at it everytime you go the the AD. Before you know it you will not be ale to resist it and you will wear it home.

Thanks. You may look all you want, but I would suggest a visit to an AD or a jewelry store that sells Rolex watches to try one on. That would set the brain wheels in motion for the eventual purchase of one of these babies.

Cheers, and best of luck in your quest!

Subbie

Prince, I imagine the subbie bracelet is very comfortable and do you often
play with the bezel ie. turn it for timing and such or just playing around...

The bracelet is comfortable, but then I have no complaints about any of my Rollies in that department. No, I actually don't turn the bezel at all any more. I did when I first got it, to make sure it worked properly, but I have not had any real reason to do so since then. Stare at it? Now THAT I do a helluva lot!

At the Rodeo Drive Dive Shop in HOLLYWOOD,
ya gotta have a TT Subbie to get certified.
It's also the only place I know that insists on gold plated
dive tanks, inside and out.


Ya oughta see the weight belts!
Yo Mamma.
