First off I just want to thank everyone. I browsed a lot here before I purchased my watch and gained a lot of knowledge.

Anyway I was looking for a nice watch for my 30th birthday. Didn't think a Rolex was in my price range but when I found one that was in perfect condition for only a tiny bit more than the new Omega's I was browsing, I realized that I wanted a Rolex, not just a watch. :)

I ended up purchasing a T series 16610 from (I'm hesitant to say....) Tourneau. For what they sold it to me for I have not seen one as in good of shape nor with the warranty and recent service that this one had. The price was far below what they usually charge for a watch like this so I feel I got a pretty good deal. I apologize to all the people who are cringing out there as I know their reputation... I'm also confident in its authenticity although I will be heading to RSC NY to validate and appraise it soon!

I'm thrilled, there's no other way to put it. I love the watch, my wife loves the watch, and it truly makes me feel like I have worked hard to reach 30 years of age and own such a beautiful timepiece. The Sub is a work of art, but not pretentious. I feel comfortable wearing shorts and a tshirt with it just as much as a formal suit!

So again thanks for all the pre sales help even though I was just lurking!
