Icon20 Rolex Sub C! New member and first Rolex.

Hello All,

Been stalking on here for a while and today I have got my first Rolex.

I went for the Submariner no date and I love it! Happy to get a brand new one and not pay over retail for a second hand one!

I have a Breitling and Omega already and the Sub is to replace the Omega which is now forsale.

Must say after a couple hours of ownership I am in love. The black is simply stunning in the sun, it's like you could swim in it!

I have included the very important pic!

Appears to have cleaner look without a date. I can't even see my date without reading glasses on. Congrats

Wow thank you all for the response and warm welcome!

Fine tuned the strap last night with the clever glidelock. What a great design.
