Congrats. The Sub is a great first and last Rolex.

Shall we bet on how many days after you receive it that you start looking at GMTs, Explorers, or Daytonas? I'll give you a week.

Thanks so much!!

I REALLY do appreciate all the responses and support!!! I was about to take down the specifics, however since the watch arrived this morning there's little to be done with a fulfilled order number right?
It's a beautiful watch but still have butterflies. Will take awhile to get used to it I suppose? I'm taking it to an AD to have it verified, but can't imagine it's fake, but one must check these things out these days right?

Common watch but not to me!

Been wearing/playing with/looking at it since it arrived this morning. I must thank Dennis for putting up with my constant barage of questions and requests! He gave me the best deal and I looked hard all over the country!! Thanks Dennis!
And thanks to everyone here for all the kind words! Here are a few photos I've taken this mornin'

Another photo

Here's another photo....BTW, it's a 2013 Submariner Ceramic. I was hesitant to spend the extra for ceramic but I need a more scratch proof watch bezel.

You see where it says rolex all along the inside of the bezel? It has the serial number at 6 o'clock. But get it checked out by someone who knows something...Beautiful watch! I think Ceramic looks 100% more awesome.

Why do you need people to tell you you did the right thing?

Because...

Because I've never spent this kinda money on something so extravagant. It's insecurity which I'm sure I'll recover from, but it helps to have a desire be confirmed and shared by those of like mind. Why else post on a board such as this?

Thanks so much! And yeah here's the serial at 6, is that what you meant? I've had it checked twice this morning. If it's a fake it's fooled two AD 😊

Congratulations, beautiful Sub! Pretty soon you'll be using justifications such as, "it's only ____" (insert price) in your watch related conversations.
