I like the Invicta more. Better value for the money.




Ha...ha...ha. Just kidding of course. Enjoy the new Rollie.

Excellent choice for first Rolex. Now that your addiction has had its first fix, you will need to start thinking about your next one. But that can wait until tomorrow. Enjoy

Wow that invicta is a pretty serious homage. I knew they had their version of the sub, but didn't realize it was so similar.

Anyhow, congrats and best of luck!

Spend some time on this forum and you will soon have plenty of options. If you don't want to get sucked in then stay away (lol). But definitely stay away from the pron of the Classified section.

I already have two and I am looking for a third. Consider yourself warned (lol).

You started off with one of the classics so you will be set for a while, but once your finances recover, you will be back. Rolexes have that effect on people.

If you are tempted try going to an authorized dealer and spend some time there. You can sample the merchandise without harm. Unless they make you an offer you cannot refuse...
