Hello TRF!

Hi Everyone,

Chris here from sunny San Jose, CA.

I have been lurking on the forums the last couple of months researching Subs in anticipation of purchasing my first Rolex for my 30th birthday in November.

I went back and forth about getting a birth year Sub or a newer model and finally settled on a newer for my first.

Alas, I came across a 116610LN being offered locally on Craiglist by a Rolex collector who was thinning out his herd to build up a down payment for a house. It was also less than a year old, with just about all of the boxes/papers etc, so I could not pass it up.

I have promised myself that even though I bought the watch, I would not wear it until my birthday. I have held strong for the last two weeks, but granted myself the exception for a quick picture of it on my wrist!
