First Rolex....feel like a million bucks

Finally took the plunge....after many months of thought...bought a 16610 Sub !!! Went to my jewel guy looking at some tags....tried them all but none of them really wowed me. He brought out that SS sub. tried it on...fell inl love instantly !!!

That's awesome! Some Tag's are pretty expensive these days, approaching SS Rolex prices, so that making the leap is the obvious step! :-)

Congrats! It's really and truly THE icon watch to have. Glad to see you have your first... which is to imply there will be others, because trust me there will be others.

Very nice! For many people (myself included), Tag is a gateway watch into more serious timepieces. Thats how it went for me. Tag heuer, then Omega, now finally, the Rolex
