This time next week..........

I should be sporting a new submariner date (16610)

I spoke w/ my AD today, and, she told me that they have 2 comming in from Rolex, 1 already bought and paid for and 1 with my name on it (thanks to my 1000 down) and, thse will be the last two 16610s that they will be able to actually obtain from rolex.

The wait, and the anticipation. It will be a long week, but when the wait is over, you will really enjoy yourself! Nothing quite as exciting as finally getting the watch you want, then taking and posting pics
Congratulations.
Cheers,
Carl

Yeah, I will post pic's as soon as I get it. I have to buy a camera, too. My recent ex-girlfirend broke both my camera and the camera I bought her all within a 6 months period. Annoying.

Just got a V series sub myself 2 weeks ago to compliment my 1680 sub. And couldn't stop there. I was looking for an original 2003-2004 Sub LV and found one so in case they are discontinued, I am set!

Enjoy your new sub and you made a great choice.
