New Rolex Sub ** great buying experience**

Hello,

I'm so delighted about my first AD purchase of a two tone blue submariner. I love the watch and my AD made the experience such a memorable one. Initially I wanted the black with green bezel but as I kept seeing the blue sub it was so stunning that it grew on me. Surprisingly the time is spot on. I have always admired Rolex watches but with three kids it was not in the cards to purchase one. Kids are grown.....so I settled on the blue sub. Would upload a pic but says the file is to large.

Congratulations. Night and day experience to me, I bought mine in the height of lockdown. Prepaid via BACS, arrived at the entrance of the AD and was met with a small green box with a white sleeve, didn't even get a chance to look at it!

Still, I'd rather get the watch thrown at me than not getting it at all.

Huge congratulations on your first AD purchase! The two-tone blue Sub is an absolute classic, such a stunning and timeless choice. Sounds like your AD made the experience even more special, which is always a plus!

Funny how preferences can change once you see a watch in person, there’s just something about that blue dial that’s hard to resist. And great to hear it’s keeping perfect time!

Enjoy every moment with it, you’ve definitely earned it.

The Bluesy is a classic! It was my first Rolex, too - Back in 1996.

Congrats!

Congrats ! As a fellow bluesy owner, I can admit it is one of the best two tone Rolex.
