Black is Black.....this baby's right on track!!!
Hi guys,
After an absence of almost two weeks, I slapped on my beloved Black Sub back on my wrist......and she's right on track!! The ultimate and quintessential Rolex out there, guys. If you've got one, hang on to it; and if you don't, then get one.....by hook or by crook!!

I have to say JJ that the Sub is what drew me to Rolex...though I do not own a 16610 yet, some time soon I will! Nice pics!

JJ, I will probably not buy new...but if I do it will be from one of the great guys here on TRF, I have one vintage Sub incoming and after that, a tritium dialed 16610 is next on my list!

Nice watch. The 16610 was my first Rolex. And speaking of price hikes, I got it 1 day after a price increase in 2004...talk about great timing. I miss that watch sometimes, but I am happy with my SD that replaced it.
