Thanks for the Info

New member here from NW Atlanta. Been admiring the Sub Date for about 4 years now, but it was never the "right" time to buy. After reading all the info here I finally took the plunge and bought a M series this past weekend. Now to convince the wife that a second Rolex would be a good purchase now.......

Great choice and I am quickly becoming a GMT junkie so I will not give advice on your second watch. Yes I will...BUY A GMT.

What's scary is the Sub cost more than the BMW!

Big congrats to your sub purchase and be very mindful that this is an addiction
Having said that you did voluntarily get yourself addicted :)

Welcome and would love to see some pictures. I bought my Rolex this year and am now trying to see when the best time would be to drop a hint as to when I might make the next Rolex purchase.
