New member w 1st sub-c!

Just got the sub-c a couple of weeks ago now and haven't had it off my wrist since. I absolutely LOVE it! The bigger case matches my wrist size very well and the ceramic bezel doesn't seem too shiny for me. I thought it would be too big of a change from the old sub... but it has so many similair profiles to me! The only thing I miss in transition is the crystal height... I wish it stuck up above the bezel slightly more like the old one, that's my only gripe. Loving the glidelock clasp as well... thx for all the info on this forum I've been delving into before making this HUGE purchase! Appreciate it!



On NATO:



Cheers!

Nice score! You're right, one of the trade offs with the Sub-C is that flush crystal. I really wish they had done it like the SD 16600 or at least peeking up a little bit like a 14060M.

Thanks for all the positivity!

The strap is Zulu ( I'm guessing nylon lol) maratac brand from military watches forum... IMHO the best version of NATO or ZULU. I've got diver orange as well, GO GETCHA ONE!!
