He's referring to the fact that the 5512 Sub is the real "steve mcqueen" rolex, not the 1655 explorer

It's just a new watch to me
Wanted to show it off but no one noticed

I feel lucky to have landed the watch

I was just having fun no need to imply ulterior motives.

Is that how a realivy new member gets treated?

I was kidding around because I was wearing the shirt

Guess I won't post again

Watch looks great...we are a fairly light-hearted bunch here. Stick around, it's a fun place.

Nah, you misunderstood. I don't think anyone was making fun or trying to be rude. Just wondering if we were missing something more being said in the post.

NO hard feelings, mate!!

And believe me, if people wanted to be rude, you'd know! Trust me!

Ok thank you guys
I was playing off "the real McCoy" that old saying

Thank you I'll post some more pics I bought it from a jeweler who got it from the original owner

I really love the watch I've had severa new and vintage models but this is a keeper

Great watch - the last photos are much better. Congrats and welcome.

(BTW - I don't think it's a huge stretch from McCoy to McQueen; I got it!)

This one is in nice shape

Dont worry brother...the WIS's in here are a unique breed. There is a wealth of knowledge in this forum. You gotta have a thick skin and get to know the kind of humor in here. Give it time and you will fit in. Mine says hello...
