First Rolex!
I have been looking for a submariner for quite some time. Do to the scarcity, I was beginning to doubt I would be able to get one from an AD. This past fall I went to my local AD and told them what I was looking for and he put me on the waiting list. When this occurred, everyone i spoke to said the chances of me getting one would be slim(at least for the time being) and maybe I should check the grey market.
Today during work I saw an email from the jeweler letting me know they just got a 2022 Rolex Submariner black face- green bezel or commonly referred to as the Starbucks version and would I be interested? It wasn’t the sub that I was originally wanting, but i know luck was smiling down on me since I have never purchased anything from this dealer and besides one email, I only spoke with him one time. None of my friends really understand the elation I’m feeling, so I figured I would share with the forum. |

I appreciate that. It says that the file dimensions are to large. I will see if I can figure out how to make the file smaller. It’s gonna take a little time to get used to the 41mm and color. I kind of figured I would have to get a used sub on the grey market. So most of what I looked at was the 40mm. I actually had never even tried a new one on until I bought it today.

Congrats on your new Sub. Picture would be nice to see. Question though, your info listed "Rolex Yachtmaster", so do you have one?
