Hi everyone,

I am a new Rolex owner, and I would like to know everything there is to know about this magnificent watch. I grew up in a houselhold where my father owned a rolex, I could not afford one after I left the home, however now after years of scoping them I was finally (about-time) able to buy a new submariner, 50th anniversary edition (Green Bezel). I guess my first question (after you roll out the carpet) is, what is the status of production on this watch? Is rolex planning to discontinue it? Thanks in advance for your responses, I look forward to talking to you as I plot my next purchase!

Hi AT, welcome aboard!

Can't answer as to whether Rolex will discontinue the LV, but my AD has had one in stock for a while. Not the fast movers they were when first introduced, at least not around these parts.

Hi Alcan,

Thx for the response. What does "AD" mean? Excuse my ignorance as I catch up on the acronyms!
