Just wanted to say hi!

Yes, another newbie has arrived complete with stupid questions and all! I will try to search for my answers but I hope that the veterans are polite and helpful. Thanks for having me!

By the way, I am looking to bust my Rolex cherry with either a Submariner or a Sea Dweller because I like the bulkiness and size (I am a big man), are there any other models that fit that profile that would be recommended?

If you want bulk then the DeepSea SD is perfect.

Otherwise a GMTIIC is pretty difficult to beat

Welcome GypsumDust,

Lol-x is on the money with the GMT IIc I'm hoping to make one my next, then my poor DJ will only see special occasions then again you can't beat a Sub, I'm not helping here am I

I'd pop into an AD and try a few on, cant beat getting the feel in person, you'll know the right one when you have it on your wrist :-)

Enjoy,

Dave.

Welcome, welcome.

If you want a beast of a Rolex then, yes, the DSSD is your baby.

As Dave said though pop down to an AD and try a GMT IIc on for size. I've had one for 3 months now and still can't get over it.
