Another newbie

Morning All,

I divide my time between the UK and Asia.

After a near 30 year wait to fulfil my ambition, I finally bought my first Rolex in August this year. Since my late teens I've lusted after a Sub Date, so on 2nd August I bought a black face SS Daytona from an AD in Singapore I love the Daytona but don't want to wear it every day though as I find the bracelet scratches too easily.

Anyhoo, when I return back to Singapore from holiday next week, I shall be picking up a new SS Sub from the same dealer. Only thing I'm struggling with is black or green..........

Welcome!
If you have a black already go for the green!
I just bought the LV and I am very happy with it. Sometimes the dial is so darkgreen that it even isn't that notable.
