Since friday i have finally my own submariner. I saved almost four years long a small amount every month. Of course I'm very happy now! I'ts a beauty :)

And in good company now:

The other 2 were the watches of my grandfather.

Congrats!

You can't go wrong with a Sub, a classic! Many congrats

Smarties · 3 September 2017, 07:26 PM

Congratulation!

Pavlos · 3 September 2017, 07:27 PM

Great watch man.

archangelfire · 3 September 2017, 07:40 PM

Best first Rolex! Congrats!

NLYogi · 3 September 2017, 07:40 PM

Gefeliciteerd! Congrats on 4 years of saving and the sub ofcourse!

Joearch · 3 September 2017, 07:40 PM

Welcome to TRF and congratulations on a wonderful watch.

brandrea · 3 September 2017, 07:41 PM

Very nice! Congratulations and welcome

Steelke · 3 September 2017, 07:42 PM

Thanks everyone!
I bought it at an AD, but surprised by the limited stock of submariners at all the stores I visited.
There are always a lot of watches inside and at te window, but almost no black SubC.

ancientmariner · 3 September 2017, 07:44 PM

Welcome and congratulations!

winger14 · 3 September 2017, 07:49 PM

Congratulations. Hard work pays off.

asiparks · 3 September 2017, 07:51 PM

Massive congratulations for sticking with a plan and achieving your goal ! It makes ownership that much more meaningful.
Enjoy your Sub for many more years !

SpeakWithMichael · 3 September 2017, 08:13 PM

These are the incomings I enjoy the most. Congratulations on the long road to your dream watch.

I'm also from Belgium. If I may ask, at which AD did you buy it?

Carlos98326194 · 3 September 2017, 08:46 PM

Big congrats on your first of my many Rolex to come!
Enjoy it in good health

Ian Macdermott · 3 September 2017, 08:52 PM

Congratulations

Enjoy

HeyItsRaymond · 3 September 2017, 08:53 PM

Congrats!!!

I recently had a friend tell me that he could never afford a Rolex. This same friend then took me out to a $60 breakfast and spent another $50 taking me to a movie I didn't really want to see but he did and didn't want to go alone.

It's all about priorities and goals. A person working at Jack-in-the-Box could buy a Rolex if they set their mind to it. Might take them a lot longer than most people, but it's doable. This isn't a Van Gough or a Gulf stream Jet.

@tensen in Antwerpen.
It's not the closest to my neighborhood, but he had one in stock (from a customer who did not pick him up) and I received a small discount.

travisb · 3 September 2017, 08:58 PM

That's dedication! Well done!

Thanks!

I saved 100 euros a month in the first few years, later 75 euros extra in a fund.

Racerdj · 3 September 2017, 09:04 PM

Excellent job of delayed gratification! Congratulations

Indeed!it only takes some discipline.
I do not have a high position in a company

@ everybody: Thank you all for the reply's!

rmlovett1 · 3 September 2017, 09:15 PM

One of the best! Congratulations!!

Swiss Mad! · 3 September 2017, 09:18 PM

Awesome first Rolex - the fact you worked hard and saved for so long make it all the more special for you.

Well done and welcome to the family!

JohnLT · 3 September 2017, 09:21 PM

Congratulations!!!! I did it the same way and the end game was so much more rewarding then I thought it would be. If I could wear only one watch for the rest of my days it would def be the 116610LN.

Xerxes77 · 3 September 2017, 09:24 PM

A watch for life!
Congrats!
