A few months ago I spoke with a very knowledgeable collector and he may, intentionally or not, have put me on the track of a, as you call them, LGF. And in all honesty I have to point out out that I have always stated that the Submariner is the most boring Rolex of them all but I did succumb to his, probably unintentionally mentioned, arguments. So after paying a hefty premium I found myself owning a LGF.
I haven’t worn it yet because of my, as called by another collector, satchquatch wrists (I need an extra link), but the urge to un sticker it is definitely there. Yes it is a true NOS. So value wise, if this collector and the author are right, I should keep it that way. But it goes against my nature not wearing a watch that I own.

So what shall I do? In sticker it and start enjoying? Or listen to the author of this very informative piece and safe queen it?
