Hello All! My first Rolex!
Hello all. I recently got into mechanical watches (less than 8 months ago). My first mechanical watch purchase was a Hamilton Khaki King, then a MarcelloC Nettuno 3, then an Omega Speedmaster Prof sapphire sandwich, and now the new Sub-C!
Originally, I did not want a submariner since I was already satisfied with the black dial marcelloc Nettuno 3 and was going for the new Explorer II with the white dial after looking at all the beautiful photos of it online. However, when I tried it on at a local AD here in New Orleans, it looked a bit too big on my wrist even though it's the same size as my speedmaster :-(. I then tried on both the gmt II-c and the sub-c. Both watches were beautiful, but went with the sub due to it being "The Rolex" watch and plus not having the PCLs like the GMT did (I hate scratches). The sub-c is BEAUTIFUL and am currently loving it. I am still wearing the speedmaster as well, but am debating on what to do with my Nettuno...probably use it as my beater watch. Anyways, here are my referenced watches :-)..sold the Khaki King |
