Finally I got the Sub
A watch I had coveted for a long time. I now feel that I've arrived. I don't feel that I need one more watch, at least for myself. My wife is now eyeing a ladies Yacht-Master so that will probably come next.
This Sub lives up to the hype in my opinion. Just so well balanced.

Congrats 🍻
Congrats. Wear it in great health.
Great pick. These are about as classic of a watch as a person can own. Truly an icon of a watch. Enjoy it.
Congrats. In my humble opinion the best looking Rolex. Not too blingy and yet very elegant. Really not an over all Rolex fan, but this is the one I would get (and probably will get). Less is more.
Congrats! Did you get the Call? Or secondary market. I like to hear this as I'm tracking the ease with which it's possible to get a Rolex. I bought my Explorer secondary.
Careful where you wear it as you’re now a target unfortunately

Congratulation to a great watch👌 Is it instead of the two tone you wished for, or on top?
Congrats !
I can see why your done. That’s arguably one of the best watch ever made. Great pick up. Congratulations.

Good question. For a long time I was eyeing the two tone sub (Bluesy). Sometimes I would vacillate between that and the black and gold. The price and availability were factors. But then it occurred to me that if I were to get a two-tone Submariner, it would be my second two-tone Rolex. I already have the two-tone Date Just, why not get something different. The stainless steel Sub is such a masculine watch, why pretty it up with gold? This was me coming to this realization. I still love the two-tone sub, the full on 18k gold as well. They are undoubtedly gorgeous. But I realized having this stainless steel model would compliment my collection. But I did obsess over making sure to get the ceramic bezel. I have a terrible affliction called watch collecting. This affliction has rubbed off on my wife. So I'm literally paying for two Rolexes to wear one. 🤣

I did not get the call. The Rolex buying experience is non existent for me anyway. I just can't stomach the games played to own any Rolex. I paid a small premium over retail but in the end when my kids wears it in 20 years it would have been more than worth it.

Same here. It was discontinued anyways, so no retail. Happy to pay a bit more (but not much more!) and be happy right away. Good luck to us in the coming year!

I can see that. The only reason to my question was that you seemed quite determined for the two tone sub in your last post. Wear your sub in good health.
Congratulations one of only two Rolex’s I would contemplate owning.
Enjoy
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾 Still waiting on the call for my Submariner 126610LV
