Just Got a New Sub Should I Change My User NAme?

The dealer did it. I told him the SD bezel didn't turn easy and it was missing an o'ring. He said he would fix it and I said how about would you trade the SD and couple hundred bucks for the new Sub in the box and he thought for a minute and said ok.

So now I am an owner of a new sub. Which is pretty cool because I couldn't really see what the date was on the SD because of my crappy eyesight and the sub feels lighter on my wrist too. So now I got a 2 year warranty, the pretty box and a spanking new rolex.

Good aftermarket dealer imo.

I don't want to sound like a sourpuss, but I sure hope your seller takes care of the O ring issue with that SD.

Otherwise, some poor buyer is going to be devastated the first time he takes that watch under water.

Regardless, congrats on the new watch.

I went on the track a few timees, but haven't been on the track since my son was born at least 2 years. Still ride my 7 to work though.

Before going on the track, I took the F.A.S.T course (level 1) which I thought was well worth it.

Cool. I have done about 25 or more trackdays. IT is really getting expensive. Normally the DOT pirellis(sp) we use only last one day. Going back to michelin to see if I can get two trackdays out of them. The track in TExas are a minimum of $135 and up to 186.
