Here are a few quick and very poor pictures...I'll post some real shots sometime soon...

Initial impressions are very positive...I traded my 45.5mm Omega PO for this watch. I'm very pleased so far. This is my first Rolex!

Ogie · 4 March 2009, 12:54 PM

Congrats my friend..the no date is unique. Enjoy and welcome to the world of Rolex!!

AIKO · 4 March 2009, 12:54 PM

Awesome, congrats! I sold a 47mm Oris to help fund my Sub. I thought the difference in size might be a big deal but the size seems perfect.

kcmo · 4 March 2009, 01:06 PM

Looks great! Congrats!

Lion · 4 March 2009, 01:09 PM

I'm glad for you and your purchase. Great watch and a good choice for your first Rolex!!!

JimSnyder · 4 March 2009, 01:23 PM

Dr.B · 4 March 2009, 02:18 PM

Very cool......!!!

Jason71 · 4 March 2009, 02:21 PM

Most excellent!! That is one of my favorites. I have worn mine every day since november for at least a little while. I don't keep it on a winder, but it has never wound down.

Wear it in good health!!

Bebot · 4 March 2009, 02:24 PM

Good move trading your Omega.

CONGRATS!

Solo118 · 4 March 2009, 02:33 PM

Congratulations Michael!!!! very nice watch indeed!!!

JF23 · 4 March 2009, 03:39 PM

Congrats, glad it finally showed up! Looks great on ya.

Ken Cox · 4 March 2009, 03:54 PM

Great pictures of a magnificent watch.

Did Mthwatch get this as a straight trade, no cash?

That seems like a very good deal to me.

If buying my first Rolex today, I would pick this exact watch: Sub No-Date.

Beautiful.

JJ Irani · 4 March 2009, 03:55 PM

Congrats......simple, symmetrical beauty!!

Cheers - JJ

hflee55 · 4 March 2009, 04:56 PM

Mthwatch · 5 March 2009, 06:12 AM

Can someone take a look at something....

In the 2nd picture, you might notice (and you can control + if you can't see it to zoom in a bit) a bit of what looks like a scratch or tool mark or something, just under the "10" on the bezel, or the 9 minute marker on the dial in the steel ring around the dial.

I know this is a small thing but it has me a bit worried...I've also spotted a very, very small fiber that looks to be on the underside of the crystal. I don't think its on the dial and I don't think its a scratch on the crystal. So, my question is I wonder if the crystal on this watch has been replaced? Should I not worry about it or should I stop by my local AD and have it looked at? As an aside, I've been using a loupe to try and find the LEC but I haven't spotted it. I know its hard to find but all of this is making me a bit paranoid.

I took the watch to my AD yesterday before I spotted this mark in the steel ring around the dial and I had the watch pressure tested and a couple links removed - everyone complimented me on a beautiful Rolex, so I'm not really concerned about the authenticity - I just think its a bit odd...

Rolex Lover · 4 March 2009, 05:53 PM

Congratulations. It fits your wrist!!!!!!!!!!

Subexplorer · 4 March 2009, 09:28 PM

Congrats!! You got a CLASSIC!. Most iconic Rolex model ever!
Enjoy it in good health pal!

buz-lh · 4 March 2009, 10:56 PM

Big congrats. I really like the clean uncluttered dial.

DSJ · 5 March 2009, 01:35 AM

Wonderful!

karmatp · 5 March 2009, 01:37 AM

Huge congrats on picking up a true classic.

Mthwatch · 5 March 2009, 01:57 AM

Thanks everyone....and to clarify - I did have to lay a bit of cash down. But I'm happy I did.

One question - I'm using a loupe but I still can't find the LEC...is it true that on the no date sub the laser etched crown could be anywhere on the dial? I thought that they were all positioned near the "6", but I've read some conflicting things...
