My New Submariner

So I've been collecting pocket change for the last 6 years and decided to cash it in. I also just got back my Breitling from factory service and with it looking all brand new I was thinking of sort of retiring it. I walked into a shop and got a great deal on an unworn 2013 Submariner. I am proud to finally be part of the esteemed group of Rolex Owners. Honestly, I cant believe I made it. I love this watch.

Looks great! Are you going to keep the bracelet on full-time or are you considering a NATO?

I'll never part with this watch. Funny thing is that for the same price with my Breitling thrown in, I could have came home with a Daytona. It was a tough decision but in the end I couldn't part with my Chronomat. I'm going to keep this watch as is I won't be changing the bracelet. Question, isn't going Nato blasphemy? I'm new to this whole Rolex thing so please bear with me. Lol

I don't think so. It's more functional in some ways, and attracts less attention. It also keeps your bracelet minty when you don't need to be as dressed up. I wear a NATO on all my Rolexes and omegas when working in the military, then swap to bracelet for formal events.

Plus choice is always good!

Welcome to the club!!!

The Ceramic Black Submariner was my first love and even though it has gone to a loving home, I miss it dearly. Great choice!
