Finally got a steel sub
So here goes my little watch story
Started off with a datejust in 2015. Still have it. My wife wears it. Then came across trf. Started researching and reading about rolex watches. Always wanted a submariner steel. Prices went sky high. To scratch the itch, i got the 1991 explorer. Gifted to my sister as her birth year watch. Explorer cudnt replace the sub. Bought the datejust 2 azzuro steel. Gifted it to my father. Still wasnt satisfied. In the middle of all that 126613ln came up during covid. I grabbed it in anticipation that tt would compensate me for the steel sub. Still wasnt happy. Gold was too much for me. I found it too flashy. I got some micro brand divers too to replace the sub. Cudnt. Sold them all. Finally took the decision to sell the tt and buy the submariner 114060. Finally after 8 years i got a steel sub. Lesson learnt. Only buy wht u really love otherwise its a regret and compromise.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congratulations.
Settling for something else just costs more and takes longer. |

OP, I have a question. Put that watch close to your ear and slowly turn the bezel and listen to the clicks. Are there some high pitched pings or is it just zipper clicks.
