Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Hi everyone,

Wanted to introduce myself and say hi from Canada!

I'm new to Rolex...have been mainly an Omega man, and hope that's not total blasphemy in these parts!

Considering my first purchase and would probably like it to be a Sub (1680, 16800 or 16610) Any input/feedback on which model to acquire would be much appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance!
-Alex

Welcome to the forum. The sub would be a great first Rolex and be sure to show us any Omega pieces you have. Omega are well respected around here
