Add pics in the comments for as many Sub nicknames as you can. If you don’t recognize the nickname, let me know and I’ll fill in the blanks.
- JAMES BOND
- MILSUB
- BART SIMPSON
- RED SUBMARINER
- KERMIT
- STARBUCKS
- HULK
- SULTAN
- BLUESY
- SMURF
- COOKIE MONSTER
- SIDE NOTE: These days James Bond wears an Omega Seamaster but Sean Connery wore a Submariner ref 6538 in Dr. No in 1962, which makes the Sub the original Bond watch. The ref 6538 is called the James Bond as a result. Why not, it’s a killer watch, or at least a watch worn by a spy with a license to kill.
