New Member - Took the plunge on a Sub

Took the plunge this week after wanting want for a long time, my wife made me a deal on some jewelry she wanted and she got me motivated to finally buy one.

Have been wearing a Tag for about 20 years, always wanted a Sub though.

Got a decent deal (considering I bought it from a dealer), picked it up from Paul Duggan in Boston, reputable used watch dealer, they guarantee authenticity and also include a 1 year full warranty which was important to me.

I was also looking for the newest 16610 I could get and got lucky with their inventory this week - depending on where you run the serial, it comes back is a 2009 or 2010, it is a G series + 6 numbers serial, so the last serial before going random and the lastest 16610 which includes the engraved Rehaut.

It is in excellent condition, 9 - 9.5/10, love the look (still getting used the all the weight hanging off my wrist!).

If you only need one Rolex, it would have to be the quintessential submariner! Congrats

I've been wearing a M serial sub for 5+ years and can vouch for its toughness and ability to look good in any dress/situation. You won't be disappointed

Thanks everyone, it has only been a few weeks but already would like a Milgauss as my second - watches are a disease I think and I have caught it!
