Finally got around to getting a Submariner

I've liked watches my whole life and have been admiring Submariners from a distance for a long time. I remember a young guy I trained martial arts with 25 years ago showing me his Submariner before I really knew what they were. I've liked them pretty much ever since. Anyway, I finally got around to buying one for myself. A humble, used 116610LN. I couldn't be happier with it.

(I can't post an image because I'm new around here, but just imagine a black Submariner on my wrist with a christmas tree in the background... you get the idea)

Merry xmas, everyone!

The 116610LN is the classic Rolex.

Enjoy wearing it.

Thanks everyone. I'll look into Tapatalk, but from memory of trying out out in the past I didn't much like it. I'll see how I go this time around.
