Thanks for all the congrats. I bought it at Raffi in Yorkdale Mall and dealt directly with the owner, Vahe Garabetian. It seems I actually got more than 25 per cent off! I think I got a great deal, at least I hope I did because I really should have waited (I wasn't going to actually buy one for a few months) but I had my Visa with me and I knew I could pay it and the deal just seemed so good. I still can't believe I bought it already! I love it; don't want to take it off! :)

There is one thing that annoyed me: only AFTER buying it, Vahe tells me that there was a mix-up with the warranty cards so he will have it for me next week some time but doesn't have it for me today. Gave me the box and manual but no warranty card yet.

Price aside it is an iconic Rolex reference/design! Wear it in good health!

Does your Sub have the glidelock ?

If it does it's the ceramic, otherwise it's the "older" sub.

Either way enjoy !

You mean the part on the bracelet clasp where you can adjust it to be bigger or smaller? Yes, it has that.
