First Rolex arrived

Hi All,

Well I bit the bullet and purchased a Sub Date 116610LN. The list at my local AD was meaning that I realistically at least a year away (they suggested more like 18 months!). So I started to look at other options and found one on Chrono24.

I was hesitant at first, but got a great deal through one of the more prominent sellers in Italy, but Chrono24 have this ‘Trusted Checkout’ scheme, where you pay by CC and the funds are held in escrow until you confirm the delivery has arrived and you are happy. There is also a 14 day period whereby if you have issues it can be returned and you get your money back.

I placed the order late Sunday, the order was confirmed and despatched from Italy Monday, arrived with me in North West UK by 10am Tuesday!! Amazingly quick!

Delighted with the watch! it’s definitely a keeper!

I just received mine on Friday! A no-date 114060 though. Love the watch and wear it in good health. One thing I've noticed is that the newer dials on these closed the spacing between the 300 and the m. Do you notice they're pretty close to each other?

Looks good! Wear it in good health. The whole Rolex wait time is getting really bad! I walk in to an AD anywhere and maybe see 2 or 3 sport models tops.... Very bad

Looks identical my first(and only) Rolex. If I never buy another Rolex, and that is highly likely, I will always feel good about this purchase. You can never go wrong with a jet black sub date. It's just a gorgeous watch that goes with anything!

Love it. I'd love a Sub but fancy an older one.
