Wow..Incoming.!!

I'm not going be a tease. I just bought a Sub-C from one of our lovely seller. It should be here on Tuesday. I wish I have it for my trip, but I'm leaving in a few hours. I'm very excited about this watch. I had to flip my SD and save a few more bucks for it. I know most members here wouldn't do that flip. But the SD wasn't singing to me and the Sub-C has always been on my mind. I love everything about it, the maxi dial/hand, blue lume, new bracelet and a relevantly new watch.

This video is pretty darn close on describing my journey. I'll have the pics on Tuesday/Wed and possibly a video unboxing. Since there isn't a lot of genuine Rolex videos out there.

Congrats.

As long as you get the one that makes you the happiest, that's all that really matters.

I'm glad you are getting what you desire and worked hard for. I too flipped my SD4000 after I got my Sub-C. I prefer the Sub-C on all account, apart from the cyclops. I'll add a Sea-Dweller, but a vintage one.

Looking forward to our unboxing! And great video!

The Sub C and the GMTIIC are about the best all around watches out there in my opinion.
