Just purchased new Z series D Submariner

Wow, I thought the day would never come! I have wanted to own a Rolex Sub for ever. I just got my 2 tone 16613 and it's awesome. The only watches I ever owned before had watch straps with buckles and holes. So it was to my surprise that my watch didn't fit, even with the clasp moved to the 3rd hole. So alas, I had to wait a few days for the extra link. Don't get me wrong I wore that beauty till my hand turned blue from blood constriction. I am extremely happy with my choice of 2 tone and blue.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!
The TT Submariner is very popular and sought after.
You must be on cloud 9. I take it you got the blue dial?
It would be great if you could share a photo or 2 of you new friend.
