Never thought I would do it!
Never thought I would buy a Rolex!
I have owned or own Breitling SuperOcean, Omega Seamaster and Planet Ocean. I still have a couple of each. I love my black SMPc and orange bezel PO........until now. I purchased a Z serial Sub a few weeks ago from a trusted seller here on TRF. It took a few days to get used to the slightly smaller size and weight of the Sub. The clasp is a bit tinny but the way the links lock in place is clever so the clap does not rattle. Since then I have tried to wear the Breitlings and Omegas they never seem to leave the bedroom. They make it until I'm dressed but the Sub finds it's way on my wrist. It's a desease! Sell the SMPc and PO to buy another Rolex? I'm glad making a living and raising kids is easier!!!!

Nice choice!
As you may allready know, the Z series is the last year for that Sub that doesn't have that annoying ROLEXROLEXROLEX writing around the inside!

Shorty, very nice Sub. I share your sentiment. I bought two IWC's in a vain hope to avoid the gold crown until I held a 2009 Seadweller in my hands last month and uttered the fateful words 'how much?'. I now cannot stop wearing it and to make matters worse I got an annual bonus this week and for some reason walked into my AD and bought a Milgauss GV, what's happened to me!!! I'm already hatching plans for an Explorer II and am now signed up as a Rolex forum member, surely there are support groups for this kind of thing :0)
