Incoming Sub date!
Got the call whilst driving and nearly had an accident! This is my first sub / professional Rolex so it’s going to be a special one. Felt like a surprisingly short wait (6 months) - gotta say the recent Breitling purchase probably helped my case.

This won’t be coming off the wrist for some time!

Most definitely. Anything helps to secure a Rolex nowadays. Congrats on the sub.

Fantastic! One can argue the only Rolex you will ever “need”. Also goes to my point that the subs don’t take as long as people think and this year in particular there are many first time Rolex buyers from ADs. Only way to do it in my book. Congrats!

That Breitling certainly helped, no doubt about it. Either way, congrats!

Congrats! I’m one year into ownership of the exact same model, and I’m still honeymooning. The watch is perfect in every way.

It’s a Breitling Premier B01. I’ve switched out the alligator strap for a calf skin one.
