1st Rolex, Take 2
So I had a milestone birthday in October of 2019. Decided to get my first Rolex, after some research and asking for some advice here I decided on the Sub as my first.
Reached out to my AD in the summer to see if they could make it happen, as it got closer to my birthday I was impatient and ended up getting an Air King the week of my birthday. While I like the Air King I knew it wasn't a keeper long term, so I sold it to save for the watch I really wanted. This fall I reached back out to my AD about getting on the list for the new Sub. Got the call yesterday and picked it up within and hour and couldn't be happier. As many have said on here GET THE WATCH YOU WANT. I just wanted to reiterate that is so true, so now I have my first KEEPER ROLEX. |

Congratulations.
It never hurts to reiterate that settling for something usually means buying twice. At least you won't have got burnt selling the AK. Glad you got what you wanted. |

Nice. Same story here. I purchased a blue dial OP39 from my AD knowing all along I would move it along for a Sub. Get the one you want indeed.
