Sub-Date
Hello all. After inheriting a 14k Rolex Cellini from my grandfather, I really came to appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into these timepieces. It blows my mind this baby still ticks away likes nobody's business..
I could never wear this watch (too small, but that was the style in the 60's??) so I looked for something more suited for my lifestyle. Please allow me to present my newest acquisition as of this weekend: |

The lug-holes vanished from the late Y-series. Yes, the Z's are not supposed to have lug holes....no way!!

Hey void0r? Do your documents say that your Sub is a Z series. The series is the first letter of the serial number.

I was confused by this at first as well. Void was responding to a question posed by poster Z-Sub, but it looked like he thought his Sub was a Z-serial with lug holes. That would make it unique, indeed.

LOL yeah, I was responding to Z-Sub, but I have no idea if my Sub is a Z series.
