Got the call for a Submariner with date by AD

I just got a call from a local AD that a Sub with date was available for purchase, so I gave them my cc info and I will be picking it up tomorrow. I am by no means a VIP client, but I did purchase a Milgauss from them this past summer and told them I also wanted a Sub with date. Pretty surprised they actually called me today since it seems as though Subs or any Rolex SS sport models are hard to come by recently. I guess Subs are coming in more frequently toward the end of the year or maybe they are not as hard to get anymore? Anyway just wanted to share my story that a Sub with date is possible to obtain at $8550. I know post pics or it didn't happen... I will do that tomorrow.

Thanks guys pretty excited about it. I know it is my dad's dream watch so I will probably give it to him as an early bday/xmas/retirement present. You know, get the old man off my back about using all his money when I was growing up haha.

Congratulations to you and your dad

I’m certain he doesn’t begrudge a single dime he used to support you as a kid.

Now I know what the hype is all about. Hopefully this beauty doesn't sit in my dad's safe and he actually wears it.

Good for you. Your dad will be thrilled , more so with the fact that he raised such a caring & generous son. ( oh yes I'm sure he'll be happy with the Sub also )

Love this! I recently was able to see one for the first time I person at a Grey dealer and install knew it had to be my first Rolex. It’s a beauty. Hope I have similar luck as you with the AD.
