After a Long Wait
 I recieved my new Sub-Date this morning , after having to wait over two months after I purchased it, I had to wait for a mate of mine to come over here on holiday and bring it with him  .Needless to say that there are no AD's in East Africa  The wife has already warned me if I don't stop constantly looking at my wrist she will be putting me on rations for the next week!

Congratulations Charlie.
It's worth the wait. That's the one that got me hooked when I was a kid and the one I wear pretty much 24/7 now. Good luck and wear it in good health.

Hi Charlie
Very nice watch. Wear it in good health. Unfortunately the looking at your wrist thing doesn't fade with time.

Beautiful watch and pic, Charlie. Enjoy the Sub and don't take any notice of your wife. The problem you are facing is endemic to most Rolex wearers. I constantly find my eyes drifting to my GMT even though I've worn it 85% of the time for the past 18 months. It's a chronic problem we Rolex wearers have to deal with on an on-going basis.
