Got the call

Hello all finally my first Rolex. Ive been a member here a very long time as a guest but I have finally secured a Black date submariner and paid for it. Im now waiting to collect hopefully on the 25th , I cant wait. I have wanted a Rolex for ages but never been patient enough to wait or jump through hoops often diverting to other brands to scratch the itch . I have found an excellent AD and bought my son a Tudor Pelagos for his 21st and had a sensible discussion around obtaining a Rolex sports model and waited about a year with excellent regular communication.

Congrats! This is arguably one of the best out there Likewise I had been wanting one for decades but somehow kept postponing the purchase, until last May.
The 12 digit combines all the modern updates with traditional proportions. You'll absolutely love it

Congrats….iconic watch and likely the start of a long journey as you find more. Great choice also for your son…Tudor is amazing and a gateway into the hobby. My parents bought me a Tudor for my first good watch and I’ve been going ever since!
