My first Rolex - Submariner Date 116610LN

Greetings. I just got into watch collecting this past year and finally pulled the trigger on the Sub Date this past weekend. It's the best all-around watch. I love the bracelet is all brushed so it will wear well with fewer scratches than polished links, etc. I'm afraid I won't want to wear my other watches for some time now. :) And I got a small discount at an area AD where others didn't even have in stock, so I feel confident in my purchase. Happy to be a part of the Rolex family now! :)

Great choice, and sounds like you got a great deal too! My 116610LN is my daily wearer and I couldn't be happier with it.
