Best $1500 I’ve ever spent on this full spec Milsub, not knowing what it was. All the while assuming the “T” was a company logo. All my friends thought I was insane! As a regular sub only cost couple of hundreds back then. In hindsight I should’ve bought
This 79220N is indeed very rare and I was scanning Ebay and Chrono24 too for a few months, without success. In my humble opinion I think there are far less made then 3000. I asked a few friend AD’s and most they received in the production period was max 2
