I never expected to say that for a Submariner but...this is stunning!!! Congratulations

I was actually of the same mindset when I first started collecting. But when you see it in real life, it's quite fantastic. The concept of paying a premium for red text is silly, but when you see it, it adds a lot to the feel of the watch.

It just keeps getting better! Those matte dials in the right sunlight.....doesn’t get much better. Incredible examples. 👍

Nice!

I would not mind seeing a new version come out. Little bit of red would go nice with a ceramic bezel.
