My first Rolex
 
Well I thought I would show you all, as I'm sure you all want to see it...:chuckle: having been into watches for a few years I decided I wanted to try and find a Tudor Sub, ended up finding this place and doing a lot of reading and searching. Anyway finally took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and this arrived last week. :cheers:

As I've said first Rolex for me, have handled a few subs and a couple of Airking’s but never a SD. Well impressed with it so far and I’m sure I will be for a long time :thumbsup:

Beautiful SD! It's my favorite as well. Bo, when are you going to get yours? Or are you waiting to see the updates?

Problem is that I don't have the funds. I'd have to flip my SS GMT IIc to get the SD (of which I have had three already, btw.).

Certainly not waiting for any updated SD. Whatever Rolex chooses to do to it, I would NOT like it. The SD is perfect as it is.

Not to sure really, I was searching for the sub and after lot's of reading I started to develop that urge for the SD :chuckle: I then managed to find one at the right price and that was it really decision made. :thumbsup:

Just got to make sure the urge for the Sub dosen't come back :lol:

No plans to do that, I've seen that other members have done that in the past and then had to buy another as they miss is so much :cheers:
