My first Rolex

Well I thought I would show you all, as I'm sure you all want to see it... 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.



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

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 I then managed to find one at the right price and that was it really decision made.

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

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
