I have a new watch

First of all, apologies, I can't figure out how to do a selfie on my tablet and then shrink it down to an acceptable size (I don't do tappytalkie) and besides, you all know what a Submariner looks like.

I got my new watch yesterday, thanks to my lovely wife. It was over a year ago that I created this thread about her wanting to buy me a watch. Our position on the waiting list was certainly helped along when she bought herself a new sparkly diamond-encrusted DJ.

Yes, the clasp is big, but it fits fine on my flat wrist and I'm finding it all very comfortable and of course it looks fabulous on me.

My very first Rolex was a Submariner, and my last one is also a Submariner. I think this is it.

Excellent. With that watch you can either be "one and done" or else it will be the first love in a series of expensive affairs. The choice is yours!

Enjoy. And make sure you book a diving holiday.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing. There’s no doubt that the Sub is the cornerstone of the Rolex world. Enjoy the journey wether it’s one and done or many more to come.

Great watch! Assuming you mean a Submariner (i.e. no date), then it's a timeless classic, and you'll never regret owning it! My own "one and done" Rolex is an old 14060. Never regretted buying it. Re uploading photos: you're not alone, it took me a long time to figure it out! Cheers!

Yes, it's a Submariner 124060. Not a Sub Date. mjb does not like the wart on his crystal.

My first Rolex was the 14060M and I still to this day regret selling it.
