Dad dropped round his early 90s Sub Date over the weekend. He doesnt wear it much and wants me to put in a new link. I keep pestering him to wear the damn thing.

Funny story he bought it from his mate when he done security work back in the day for £500, pretty much for a few years after his mate was trying to buy it back.

He's always said it would be mine one day (one reason I've held off looking at Subs), but no reckons it will probably go straight to my youngest when he's 18! Only another 16yrs then!!!

Anyways thought I'd wear around the house for a few days whist working at home. Damn I now see the appeal of these 5digits Subs. When I got into this hobby - Sub was always the one, roughly 8yrs ago I almost purchased a maxi case no date, yet for a Kitchen fit on the house we bought, that didn't happen and later got a Panerai, since then BB58 and i have to say that's always scratched that itch, even tried on the new 41mm date before Christmas and thought it was to big compared to the BB58.

Now I'm considering looking for a 14060m 2 liner, when i have some additional funds, instead of going back to a 3861 Sapphire Speedy, am I crazy!

I do remember wearing this about 6yrs back and thinking 'now I know why the sweet spot is 40mm' at the time I had my 45mm U Boat & then 44mm Panerai.






On a separate note & my dad doesnt have the OG box, where best to look for one (legit of course)
