Thanks to this forum and Rolex's recent price increase, I purchased my second Rolex in two weeks :) (My first is an OP). I bought just before the increase and had the AD send it out of state to save the 8% sales tax. I finally received it today.

So far I really like this watch. It is even more comfortable than I expected. I am very happy with my purchase.

Here are a few pictures I took earlier. Thanks for looking

Congrats on what I consider to be one of the smartest of the current line up

The SubC LN is a brilliantly conceived watch...enjoy

The Subc has a modern vibe that makes it a winner!
Congrats...

Thanks. Here is a picture I took a few minutes ago that I think turned out nicely. Lume shots are fun to play with.

Yeah as you know it isn't very pleasant here. At least we have the Bulls to look forward to tomorrow or should I say tonight

Yes, the shutter was open for 60 secs. I wanted the second hand to make a complete revolution in the pic.

Nice Rolex and nice pix.

Interesting to see how the second hand lume died off in just one minute as it traveled round the dial.

Very observant Eddie....It's easy to see where it started bright and ended dull!
Another excellent pic though.

Here is another lume shoot with the hands in better positions so all the text and the Rolex logo can be seen. The date is also centered in the cyclops a little better. This is now my wallpaper. Thanks for looking.

etp095 · 16 May 2011, 01:25 PM

That's a nice photo Wade,like the way the bezel gets lit up by the plots.

coy · 16 May 2011, 06:05 PM

drockadam · 16 May 2011, 09:24 PM

Sure, no problem. If you would like a higher resolution version of any of the pics, just let me know. The original pic of the latest lume shot is over 3 times bigger (1024x683 vs 3349x2233) which makes it much more useful for stuff like pc/mac wallpaper.

taxidriver · 17 May 2011, 08:16 AM

congrats on your new subc

nice lume shot too

Michael M. · 16 May 2011, 11:33 PM
