It's only been a day but...

I can't stop wearing my Sub!

I love the classic look of the early '90s 2 line Submariner!

I was driving my car today and couldn't help staring at it.

I've has mine for fifteen years, and I still stare at it and take wrist shots all the time. I believe it was Alexander Pope who said "Rolex love springs eternal." Maybe I'm paraphrasing...

But you should cover it up while driving, that kind of distraction could be dangerous!

I hear you! There is something about driving that makes your watch just pop! Must be the light thru the windshield or something. I love to stare at my watch while driving...(I look at road as well : ) )

Hah yeah.

What's funny is that I have a Heuer Professional from the early '80s that is cool but it's nearly a clone of the Sub and I used to think "How cool would this be if that was a Sub" while staring at it while driving. Yesterday was the first day I had driven that particular car (94 Miata) since I got the Sub so I was in full blown stare mode.

Something about driving an early 90s roadster and an early 90s Sub!

Mine is a 14060M so it doesn't have tritium. It has superluminova. Watches with 'Swiss made' like mine at 6 do not have tritium.

Your lume may be dead, but as it is tritium it will develop a nice creamy patina over time.
