New Forum member / Rolex Owner
I've been reading this forum daily since I purchased my 1997 Sub non-date a couple of months ago so I thought it's about time I introduced myself and started to contribute!
My name is Dan and I'm from the UK. I sold most of my mid - low range watches in order to buy the sub and now having taken the plunge I don't regret it for a moment! I purchased a non date purely because the lower price meant that I could still keep my cherished Breitling Chronomat GT. I still like the Breitling a lot but I can't seem to stop myself from putting the Rolex on my wrist every morning now! I love the iconic styling of the sub and the no nonsence toolish design. It's very comfortable to wear and suits both informal and formal occasions perfectly. My watch was serviced by Rolex in November 2007 and consistanly gains around 0.5 seconds a day which makes it by far the most accurate mechanical watch I've owned! I've never owned a Rolex before but I've been well and truely bitten by the bug now! I think this will be my only Rolex for a while unfortunatley but I may be tempted by a Tudor Chrono of some sort in the future. Anyway here's a few pics of my Sub (and 1 of my Chronomat).     Thanks for looking. Dan |

Welcome to TRF, and congratulations. It's just as well that you sold your other watches, as I reckon they wouldn't see much use now.
Cheers, Chris

Thanks for the nice welcome and comments guys!
The sub and the chronomat are 2 very different watches and appart from a vintage Seiko Divers (that was manufactured 1 month before I was born)these are the only watches I'm left with. I like the fact the Sub looks fantastic but is also quite stealthy abut I also like it that the Breitling is more distinctive and attracts admiring comments. Quote:
