wow what a day !!!!!!1
Hi Guy's
I just wanted to share my day with you all. I have been looking for a new Rolex after selling my 14060m last month but have found it really hard to make my mind up what model to go for when last night i saw a 2006 Sub Lv for sale on Ebay, it looked very nice so first thing this morning i gave the guy a call, we agreed on a price so off to the bank i went to withdraw the cash. 30 minutes later the guy calls me back and says sorry mate I've sold it to someone else for £200 more so don't bother coming to collect it  , i was gutted !!!! My wife trying to cheer me up said she would take me to the local dealers to see what they had in stock. When we got there they only had the Sub non dates in stock and one used sub date but it was in very poor condition, as we are sitting there my wife starts to tell the salesman that i really had my heart set on the green sub but was finding it very hard to locate one, to my surprise he says i have one out the back i can show you but it is not available to purchase as it has been put at one side for myself but if you like it we can order you one in but it will take 10/12 weeks to get one in stock. Well lets just say it was love at first sight and i had to have it, 20 minutes later and its mine!! the sales guy has kindly agreed to let me have this one and he will have the next one that comes into stock. Sorry for waffling on but I'm so excited i needed to tell everyone before i burst

It worked out just like it was supposed too, and it sounds to me like you have a great wife like I do, my wife would help me scour the earth for what makes me happy. She's cool like that. Enjoy
