Del 4,437 Posted June 27, 2020 I just joined the Sub Club! Bought this Submariner a couple of days ago and it arrived today. It was new in 1991......... I must be crazy buying a 29 year old watch........right?! The year is significant for me so that was a big attraction, but the watch is in very good condition, has original tritium dial/hands/pip, chronometer certificate and box. All seems in order - phew! Thanks also to my friends who helped me over the line with this (you know who you are ). Some quick pics:- 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rokerite 2,438 Posted June 27, 2020 It's a beauty. 29 years old? Looks brand new, must have had parts replaced at service or failing that a very careful owner. Enjoy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
