I really wish they would have had an LV C there because I believe I would have been able to get that with no issues. The only thing I am a little bit sad about is the fact that I got rid of my first Rolex (16610LV) which is a now discontinued model. But hey, there is always the future I guess. I am already in love with the Sub C. It just has such a unique presence in my eye.

Thanks all. I love the watch, I just hope that the direct trade of a 1985 Pres diamond dial was an even deal for the Sub C.
