Actually, no! My first watch . . .
. . . was an AirKing . . .
. . . precisely the same as this, with a Bahrain Petroleum Company decal on the dial. Dad got it for me from a colleague who had upgraded to another Rolex. Like the idiot I can be, I let it go for literally a quarter on the dollar because I wasn't aware of its then-current value. The beneficiary of my stupidity was one of the managers at work who passed away a few years ago. Unfortunately I'd lost contact with him years before so no chance of recovering my heirloom. I still kick myself for the move.

Welcome onboard!!
Bit of a curveball but definitely a strong start for Dr No in 2025! No date sub is a good choice but did you look also consider for e.g., sea dweller or explorer?
Curveball? . . .
. . . I'll say! As for other versions: nugatory. The boutique associate called in early December to see if I would take a date Sub. "Nope," said I, "only a no-date." Three weeks later I got the call I was hoping for. 😋
I was going to say you can’t always get what you want, but you did.
Are you feeling satisfaction? Looks like time is on your Wrist. By the way, the Sub looks great with a torn and frayed flannel shirt.
Are you kidding? More action has gone down due to The Rainbow . . .
. . . than any bordello. Afterwards, of course.
You should check the glum mood with the coat girl.
It’s party time after all, and there’s no such thing as a bad no-date Sub.
Ditto! . . .
. . . the compact Explorer 1 was an option, but a no-date Sub from a boutique is impossible to pass up.
The current version which I tried on four months ago, . . .
. . . side by side with the Sub.
Not even 24 hours yet . . .
. . . in my possession; it'll be on my wrist thru the weekend.
Nice one -- Sub or Speedy are the two most classic sports watches IMO.
I still have my 16610 from the early 90s... Enjoy!
Congratulations Art!
Awesome pickup!!! We got the same one a few weeks apart, I love mine, and I bet you will love yours!!!!
Waited four months for mine, Greg. And pleasantly surprised when I got the call . . .
. . . two days before the price increase. 🤑
Congratulations Art….
I have been waiting a long time for this day. Looking forward to seeing it in person. ...

A sturdy watch. For keeps. Geross. ...
Grazi, Geross! Preparing for the Wednesday pool tournament . . .
. . . at the moment, off shortly with the Sub on my wrist. Art
Bring your Sub if you visit So Cal this summer . . .
