For a while I have wanted a 116234 DJ silver stick on a Jubilee. Partly for financial reasons but mainly because I love anticipating things I wanted to collect this much desired watch in mid December on the day I go on a 3 week trip to the Far East with my fiance. I thought this would be a realy good excitement overload that I could look forward to. So this week I went to my AD on Bond Street in London, had the beautiful DJ in my hands, put down a substantial deposit and will collect in December. Can't wait guys

Anyway, a while ago I also developed an uncontrollable desire for a Sub Date. As you know, these are a bit more difficult to come by than DJ's and get snapped up quickly. There has also been the speculation about it being replaced with a beefed up model. For a while there have been none in London - but today I saw two in Watches of Switzerland and I snapped one up. They had recently had a delivery of 3 and one went to a guy who had put down a deposit (forum member perhaps ?).

So now I have my first Roly - the Sub Date - and I am totally besotted with it. Its like sex only better (well, nearly). I can't take my eyes of it.

So I am very happy....and whats more I still have that lovely DJ to look forward to.

I think the Sub and DJ both compliment each other nicely. They represent the two iconic faces of Rolex - the dress and the professional.

P.S - When I figure out how to post pics I will see what I can do. My camera is crap though.

Yeah David!

Welcome to the club. The sub is da bomb. Can't wait for your pics.

Where you going east? I'm thinking of heading that way myself in a couple years.

Congrats for this iconic classic!

gone2vegas · 19 September 2008, 05:57 AM

Congrats! Maybe you'll come back from your trip with a few more.

eric23 · 19 September 2008, 05:59 AM

Congrats on the new Watch!

Quicksilver · 19 September 2008, 06:28 AM

Thank's guys. I am very excited about both. As to which will get more wrist time, I will let you know when I get the DJ. I would like it to be 50/50 but who knows, the Sub may prevail.

Heading East - to Thailand - for 3 weeks in mid Dec. My fiance is Thai by birth so she can speak the language, which helps. Don't think I would have found that Sub out there - I hear they are rare in the Far East.

kcmo · 19 September 2008, 08:14 AM

Congrats David!!!!

I have a Sub and a DJ and they're a perfect pair IMO! Of course now I'm considering number 3......

Looking forward to your pics!

Intersting - there seems to have been a bulk delivery of Subs to the UK. That's probably it for the next 10 months

Totally thankless - and yet the world thinks we've got it made

But today, I just look down at my Sub and it powers me up, bit like a battery charger

Trurolexer · 20 September 2008, 01:34 AM

I just want to say 2 words to you David...

SUB RULES!!!

Quicksilver · 20 September 2008, 01:38 AM

TR, I agree 100 %

Incidentaly TR, you said in a post the other day about Subs being difficult to get in Asia. Why is that ? Is it because the DJ is far more popular in Asia so Rolex don't send as many ?

I think because Sub is very popular in Asia (Japan).

And almost all Subs is taken by Japan market.

After that, a few in other Asia country. So in here, we only receive small quantity.

Quicksilver · 20 September 2008, 01:45 AM

Thanks TR. Before I bought my Sub I was thinking of looking for one in Bangkok - I might not have found one and if I did I suspect It might have cost more than in the UK.

C. Davidson · 20 September 2008, 11:44 PM

Congratulations on the Sub! Also sounds like your going to have a great holiday this December when you pick on your second Rolex. Wear them in good health.
