Thanks for sharing the nice pictures. Milan is a pleasant city but even more so with a Big crown on your wrist. Congratulations on this watch- it seems to give you much pleasure- as it should! Perhaps one day I will join you, for now my smallcrowns say he... 

Thanks Edmond

that day I will have to bring along my 6536/1, which I love as much as the 6538. Maybe even more, because of its tropical dial ;-)

Nice shots Jeff...

A dangerous place, where you can meet several watch dealers.

Delighted to see ...

... that you have been to the Museo del Novocento. Highly recommended as a site to visit in Mediolanum in my view – though not heavily frequented. Every time I see Fontana’s Slash art I wonder whether it will ultimately find its way into dial design. ;-) ... 

It is definitely a great museum...

... stage for a Bond mission! Your Sub stands out beautifuly against that scenary! I will be visiting Milano in a couple of weeks in charge of a "Bondish mission" too, but with a different beloved brand. Will try to post some pictures! Look forward to par... 

Nothing like a BC!

Jeff: Congratulations on the BC. I have had the privilege of seeing a BC only twice in my life, and they never disappoint. They really are one of those hyped vintage pieces that actually exceed the hype! Enjoy it! -Mike
