lol I did that last week. Traditional Jewlers in Newport has 1 eta Black Bay left. I tried it on and I just felt it was a Submariner missing every reason why I'd buy a Sub.

the black bay, in fact i tried on the 36mm at tourneau a few weeks ago again. the little colored bit is always a turn off too.

i bought the sub first, and have been considering a tudor sub as a daily driver for some time. but every time i do a search i get something that just makes me say nah. its always the mini sub that comes up. the other day some one had a fake? 5512 case with a tudor movement inside. that was an interesting bay post

Hi everyone,

Today I'm wearing a piece which is not particularly popular among enthusiasts. It doesn't get much wrist time although it should as it's very comfortable and quite versatile.

Here's my Rolex Yacht-Master ref 116622 platinum dial on Hirsch Tiger strap, perforated water resistant leather with ventilated rubber lining.

Hang on buddy, where's my yacht...? :-p
Love the strap with the YM. Wasn't a fan of that watch until I saw yours!

I prefer the yacht master over the sub just based on real life appearance.

Multiple friends have subs that look good but only one friend has a yacht master and it looks great in my opinion.

I see much less of them basically and it's always a nice surprise.

Good Hunting

Saw some pics of the red date wheel- it’s pretty cool, I just have never done any mods to any of my watches.
