Actually bought one.

After many years of waiting including a recession, I have been able to finally purchase my dream watch. I just bought a brand new Rolex Submariner 116610. It is the latest model. I thought long and hard about buying a preowned Sub, but with being my first Rolex, I wanted it to be brand new. Not one ounce of buyer's remorse, and it feels great.

Will post pics soon. I debated long and hard over a Sub and/or a Breitling. Really love both, but felt that the Rolex just far exceeds any other brand. Breitling will just have to come later.

No pictures for a few, all I have for the time being is a receipt and a serial #. I live in Phoenix and bought it from my friend's friend who is an AD in the midwest. Will have soon.
