Drove up to tax free New Hampshire and purchased from a wonderful AD. Saved a bunch of money on taxes and they gave us a gift card to go have dinner at a local restaurant. That was a nice touch. I order the Sub back in July and picked it up in December. It was still in that little plastic case that Rolex ships them in which was pretty cool.

My name is Joe. I'll probably be asking a bunch of questions, but wanted to say hello!



Nice work Joe! You won’t regret starting with this classic!

Welcome Joe and congratulations.
A great experience with your AD.
I purchased one just recently, and have worn it daily since.
This is my second Rolex, my first being an Explorer 214270.
I love them both equally.
