Incoming!!!
It's been quite some time that I was thinking about the 116610LN. Knowing that I'm about to graduate from university and that I could buy it to celebrate this achievement; I've got this idea going through my mind for a while.
During the summer, I went to my local AD to see it in flesh and try it. Unfortunately, they didn't have it due to strong demand. It didn't bother me as I wasn't in a rush to buy it. As my summer break was coming to an end, I went on vacation to Paris with my family. I decided to visit some ADs to see if by any chance they would have the Sub Date in stock. After going through a lot of ADs, as expected, they all told me they didn't have any. I then said to myself that it will be for another time. On a morning walk in the city, my mother pointed me a Rolex AD that I haven't yet visited. She told me that I should give it a try. Upon entering the boutique and asking if they have the Sub, what was my surprise to finally see it!! In a blink of an eye, I could feel the watch talking to me when it was resting on my wrist. I knew it was the one! I won't surprise you to say that I couldn't resist purchasing it. So, without further ado, here is the wrist shot taken on the Eiffel Tower!
