A Lazy But Exciting Incoming that might make you Green with Envy

Great News, Hulk Incoming!!
I say lazy because I just took one picture and did not do the whole song
and dance of unpacking and revealing... Tomorrow I will share more pics
in better lighting!

I went to pick it up today and I have to say I am loving
it already. After owning a Smurf for almost a year, it is nice
once again having a comfortable but yet stunning Rolex SubC.

It's hard to say anything negative about my now lost Smurf,
it was a 10 month love affair and I have no regrets. My small
wrist just was not happy with how things were going.

But exactly 21 days later, I am reacquainted with a new Sub, one
I have never had before. I have owned 2 SS, 2 TT and a WG, now
I am back to SS, but with a beauty that rivals the WG.

The brushed center links are nice as is the lighter weight,
but what has me won over and constantly looking at the time is that Rolex "Green Gold" dial.
Oh man I love how it dances in the light. Only the PP 5711 dial I owned briefly played with light
so wonderfully.

This is a bona fide beater and tool watch for the ages.
At home in any terrain and any condition, which can surprisingly get cleaned up and dress up nicely as well.

Although I am looking to upgrade my collection, there is no way I can be without my most favorite Rolex - The Oyster Perpetual Submariner

Congrats!! I'd be green with envy indeed if I didn't have one as well.

It's a great watch, enjoy it.

Thanks!
Not sure about the Bubba yet... I have a trip planned to Bal Harbour to see more RMs and APs hopefully this weekend.
Most likely next incoming will be an AP, but if this month goes as well as last in sales, could be an RM.
I want to try the RM 11 and RM 35 before just jumping into the Bubba. I am not going to rush this, its a huge investment.

But the 116610LV was/is a no brainer!

Thanks! And Definitely one of my favorite dials of any watch of any brand!
Only two I have seen in person I like more are the Platona Dial and 5980/1AR dial.
