Icon20 New Member - First Time Rolex Owner!

Hey everyone,

I am the proud owner of a new Rolex Submariner (116610LN)! I received the watch as a college graduation gift from my father!

I am a big watch fan and had trouble deciding between a Breitling Navitimer, Calibre de Cartier Diver and the Rolex Submariner. I finally made the right choice and went with the Submariner. I really loved the Navitimer but it isn't waterproof (can't even shower with it, so dumb). The Cartier Diver is a beautiful watch and I hope to get one at some point but it doesn't hold it's value like the Rolex. The Rolex was the obvious choice for my first nice timepiece.

The next watch on my list is the Rolex Yacht Master II.

I am really excited about the enjoyment I will get from my Submariner and hope to give it to my future son someday upon his graduation.

-Freshly

The Submariner I predict will be your most satisfying watch ever.

Quick question: my bracelet started to squeak. It sounds like a mouse. I called the Rolex store in SF I purchased it from and am taking it in tomorrow. Anyone else have that issue??
