Incoming: Submariner 116610LN

After selling the stainless steel black Sub couple of years ago, I kinda regretted it. At the time, Bluesy was my pick and I absolutely loved it. LN just didn’t pack the punch for me (I know..). Long story short, I missed the classic look and started looking for one. It has been more than six months. I was looking for not just in US but also overseas.. It seems the supply of Sub has gotten worse indicating an update? Anyways, I looked all around and finally bought a new one from DAVIDSW. Paid a premium but it arrived as described.

Not as exciting as getting a call but I can finally enjoy the watch!

Congrats. Looks stunning on your wrist and match very well the industrial rising of Benz cockpit :-)
I can’t imagine a Rolex collection without a black ceramic diver in it. They are just amazing.
Regarding availability vs new coming model, the effect has been more subs incomings than shortage. The forum is buzzing with surprising incomings with no wait no history.

Congrars! Too bad you couldn't find one at an AD in that time frame but finally having it on your wrist is all good. Now Enjoy that Beauty!!...

Congrats! I picked one of these up in December to go with my Bluesy. I was fortunate enough to get it through my AD. I too have struggled a bit with rotation as I’ve always been comfortable wearing my Bluesy as a daily.
Right now I’m doing a weekly rotation unless a specific occasion warrants one over the other...
