New member - new sub 116610ln

Just wanted to say hello and share a couple pics of the new sub date I just purchased. Never thought such a mass marketed watch would be in such short supply, whether it’s due to overall market exhuberance or Rolex really being on top of their game maintaining a steady gap in supply/demand.

Walked into the local AD and I guess they had just received a shipment the day before Thanksgiving, the AD brought this baby out still in the plastic box. I tried it on and just had to get it. An expensive purchase and my first Rolex, but I like the fact that it’s understated and doesn’t draw a lot of attention. I was initially going for a DJ, but that seems to be less versatile and not a fan of the polished oyster bracelet. Anyways, it’s nice to be able to afford such an iconic watch and to me the date feature completes the look.

Congrats, a great choice for your first Rolex. However be aware that the SS Sub has long been in short supply. I purchased my first Sub 16610 in 1999 from my AD, and there were long waits then also to get a Sub. I remember I got mine in Nov. before Christmas and wasn't expecting another delivery until the Spring.
