Purchasing My New Two Tone Black Submariner

I just sent my check to Cayce at Timekeeper Co. (www.preownedrolex.com) today for a 2002 gently used two tone black Submariner. Thanks to all for the recommendation, Cayce seems like a straight shooter after corresponding with him via e-mail and over the phone over the past week or so. I'll post pics when I get it after my check clears. Thanks again for all of the help!

Early Congrats, you can't go wrong with a TT-Sub. And don't worry Cayce is a good-guy.

Nice and glad to see that you are going against the trend of thinking that the TT Blue Face Sub is the only way to go. Applause......for your decision.

I feel like a kid a Christmas. Cayce says that since my check is from a major bank that I should be receiving the watch relatively quickly. I can't wait to shelve my Omega Seamaster co-axial after I get it.

I figured since I already own a Seamaster with a blue face and bezel I would go with the black two tone. I will admit however, that the Omega dark blue is nowhere near as stunning as the Rolex blue. Also I regret pawning a 1970 black two tone GMT a few years back that I acquired on EBay in the late 90s. It was a sweet looking watch, but I got tired of replacing the acrylic (spelling?) crystal every year or so after I would scratch it and it also had the jubilee band which I was also not fond of.

Welcome to the forum old neighbor!
Let me guess, you sold your house in Lowes Island and paid cash for your home in Tennessee. You are probably now living high off of the proverbial hog.

Beltway is now even more insane than you remember.

8 more years here and the kids are in college and I am retired in North Carolina, I already bought my property in Southport.

Oh and by the way GO SKINS!! It is a really a small world, holy crap. Too funny.
