cK2998 or Sub?
Ready to pull the trigger on one of these. Had a Sub ND and Saphirre sandwich in the past and now just can't make up my mind. These CK on bracelet threads are swaying me ever so slightly that way but as an occasional flipper however resale is never far from my mind. The easy answer is get what you like but I like Both.... a lotWhat would you guys do and if you like both what is your rationale?

New Incoming -BLNR
So it's been a busy month for me. I just picked up a BLNR and love it. Watch was is great shape. Wanted to thank Tom (Ttomczak) for an easy transaction. Would not hesitate to purchase/trade with him. I love this watch. The PCL's are a love hate. I like the bling factor, but according to TRF they are scratch magnets. I plan to pick up a Blue Rubber B. That way I can rotate depending on my mood. The Braclet is smaller than the sub. In don't see any half links. I have every link in and ext expanded at it fits slightly loose (almost perfect) and with ext in feels tight. Miss the glidelock to be honest. Those 2mm increments are amazing. Either way I am happy and tickled pink to finally have my two favorites models.
