Man O Man! I wholeheartedly concur! One of the best values out there in the Rolex world today! Great lines. Fantastic movement. Best clasp AND Bracelet made. I'm with you on this one. Spend a bit more and buy new, especially your first! IMHO

The new "maxi" case and fancy features are intimidating at first but the newer designs really are appreciably better, the bracelet is outstanding! And the attention to detail that Rolex has always been know for on the case, dial and movement are now tactile in everything. You get alot of extra functionality from your $1-1.5K more...
Ceramic bezel
Real usable lume
The best bracelet made. Period. Full Stop.
The latest movement w/parachrome spring
And lastly, although some will disagree, I think the "Maxi" markers actually make it feel more balanced astetically, and more akin to the lengendary Subs that started it all.

Not my photos...

Grab yourself a 2-liner and don't look back.

I recently bought my 1st Rolex after flipping other watches for around 5 years.
I was looking for a tritium dial 14060, but they seem to be very much in fashion here in the UK, especially nice cream patina ones!
Finding what I wanted was difficult and would cost a lot. In the end, my friend found me a lovely 16600 Sea Dweller. I've not regretted buying it and I'll not look back.
Only had it a month, but I know it's a keeper.
Basically I didn't want a date bubble model, but I do find the date useful on a watch.
Go and try a few and take your time.
If you plan to have one watch, do your research, enjoy looking and buy the right watch once.

OP do you still have the SubC? If so, what do you think 2 years in?
