Was thinking about adding this, but then I remembered I already have a sIlver dialed DJ, so…

The DJ is superior because it has a silicon hairspring.

My son turned 5 this week, which means my Sub did as well.

Did you throw a party and give your Sub a present?

 

[Scuppers]

Did you give your Sub a present?

Given it takes somewhat more than 9 months, currently, to get a sub, you are on the money. Happy watch day!

My AD told me it was the last Sub that anyone has bought directly out of the display case at their place.

I love the brown strap! now I forgot why mine is still on the bracelet

Changed the 5212 from that awful tan strap to a Taupe epsom, which I think is a major improvement.

This strap is just perfect on that watch.

I really dislike this watch, as all the Langes. I find the design odd and typically German, the lugs in particular look always disharmonic to me.

 

[DorianGreen]

Love it. What a classic.

Yes, anything but boring. With the Day-Date the most attractive model from Rolex in my eyes.

 

[DorianGreen]

I like the texture and feel of titanium watches, and I'd like to add one to my collection, but I just look at this and think it looks dated and a bit like variation of an old Concord Marine SL. However, since you mentioned the 90s, I suppose we should all be thankful TAG isn't making these anymore...

This is really, really awful.

I never liked the day complication at all. No matter the situation I always seem to know the day of the week and just don't need it.

I can concur about that, still like the Day-Date.
