Thanks, TRF!
I purchased my very first Rolex last week, a mint P serial 16610. Initially I struggled to settle on a particular model (so many great ones to choose from), but the process was made easier by spending a lot of time here at TRF and immersing myself in the collective knowledge and experience of this forum. It wasn't too long before the proverbial lightbulb went off and I somehow just “knew” that, for me at least, the right choice was the Sub. Not sure I would have moved forward quite so confidently without your help, so I wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks to all.
