Cool story. As for the salesperson... I think that was BS.

Anyway, enjoy your new sub!

ChuckFinlay · 7 April 2013, 02:50 PM

That was nice of the dealer, maybe give them a shout out as one of the good guys....oh, and big congrats, enjoy.

Cru Jones · 7 April 2013, 03:41 PM

I don't know if that was just a sales tactic or not, but, the most important thing is that you've got the LVc and you're happy (and your wife seems great, too). Enjoy!

citjet · 7 April 2013, 03:52 PM

Fantastic! Congratulations

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

Awesome! That looked really green compared to some other shots

Thanks Richard for the kind comments, i think we are both very lucky guy's to have such fantastic wife's i don't know how they put up with us, to be honest i think i was more nervous about parting with the money than my wife was it was quite a lot over budget but all she was bothered about was making me happy

Normally i would agree with you about the sales guy but i have known him for quite a few years now and he is a massive watch nut just like us guy's, i have no doubt he was telling the truth he's a grate guy.

Thanks James the picture was taken on my i phone and wasn't grate so i used the auto enhance but i think it has over compensated the green. It really is a fantastic watch that needs to be seen in person to appreciate the beauty of it.

tlbarrs · 7 April 2013, 10:06 PM

Thanks Guy's for all your kind comments, i love this forum it's so nice to be able to talk to so many people that share the same interests as i do, my friends and work colleges just think i am mad.
