Incoming 116610LV Hulk
So, I got married last month and have been on the hunt for a Rolex Diver to celebrate. I've tried on the SubC and SubC ND, as well as a SD4K, and have been on the fence about which one would fit my collection best. I've witnessed the buzz around the Hulk, but had never seen one in person and figured I wouldn't be able to get my hands on one at an AD until next year at the earliest.

Flash forward to this week. We are celebrating our honeymoon at the beach (Florida Panhandle) and I get a hunch to call the local AD. I ask about their SS inventory, specifically the Submariner. They tell me that they received an LV yesterday, and have SubC and SubC ND in stock as well. I head down there to take a look, and I just couldn't resist the LV. It was the first time I saw one in person - photos truly do not do her justice!! I knew then and there that the Sub LV would be my newest addition! With my wife's blessing, I made the purchase and arranged for shipment back to Tennessee. Very excited to take delivery next week!!!

So thrilled with my first experience buying new at the AD. I don't know that I would have pulled the trigger today had such a rare find not fallen right into my lap. Pure luck on the timing - I guess it was meant to be!!

Pics to come soon.

Cheers,

Hunt
