Very nice.

I wish I could justify a second Sub, as I feel the gold on my Bluesy gets scratched very easily.

Enjoy!

Colin.

As gold is softer than stainless steel, do people find that the gold center links scratch more easily than the SS polished center links? Also, is it fair to say that hairline scratches on the gold links can be more easily polished out than similar scratches on SS?

Nice! I miss mine everyday. I'm hoping I'll be reunited with a sub again sometime soon.

Congratulations...I just got my "V" on the 27 June here in Colombia South America, I wrote a new thread as I was having trouble of deciding between the "V" and an Explorer II.
The Explorer won on TRF but I have owned a SS date Sub before and I knew I would regret it if I didn't get one back.......it's a great daily wearer.

Congrats again....
