A cool watch, for sure.
Thanks.

It is so good to see a complete set like this, no matter the watch, when it is decades old. I imagine it is especially nice for a superb condition red Sub like this one. Yes the price is...well, a bit of a shock. I assume it is worth a bit more now. ;-) B...
Actually, I own it for 6 or 7 years, now.

That is true!

You will see many examples showing a big difference in time between the production and the sale. 2, 3, 4, 5 years and more are not uncommon! Well, at this time. The madness is recent, let's say 14 or 15 years, not much more. I agree. Best, Niicolas

Well, also for all the professional models, at least in France, at the end of the 90ies, early 2000s. But I didn't know it was still the case, a few years ago. Thanks for your input, my friend. Best, Nicolas
