So I bought a Rolex!
This is my first Rolex, and it will hopefully be the watch I will wear every day for the next 30+ years. I wound up going traditional, with a 40mm no date SS Sub (114060). A dealer who has great reviews here and elsewhere had a 2 year old model with some light cosmetic marks (mainly on the bezel), and priced it aggressively. For me, that is perfect as this watch is going to get plenty of other marks on it from daily wear, and it got me into a nearly new Sub with a great movement and a factory warranty for a pretty reasonable price.
It was an exciting package to get. It took a very long time to get here (and I am not talking about the shipping). This is something I've spent quite a while working towards and I'm still kind of in shock that I am currently wearing a Rolex Submariner. If this is my only Rolex, I will be perfectly content. At the same time, I can see why so many people have multiple Subs... (I'm excited, I rarely go out these days, and I had to share with other watch lovers!) |

Congrats on your first Rolex! You picked a great model (the best, in my opinion). I’ve been a Sub (without date) guy for many many years and you’re right - you don’t need any other watch.

Congrats! Thats the best way to get in. The 3130 movement will last you forever too. I bought mine new in 11/2017 and it gets worn more than any and never skips a beat. Enjoy!!..
