Coming back to Rolex at last - Submariner Date Incoming!
I was a member on the forums years ago and the proud owner of an Explorer 39mm. Several years ago I sold the Explorer and I’ve just been wearing a Tudor Pelagos LHD for a while.

After being on the wait list at the AD for the past few years, I finally got the call the other day and I’m picking up a brand new Submariner date next week!

I just can’t wait to have it at long last!

You are going to melt into the beautiful black dial and ceramic bezel, really nothing like it!

Huge congrats - I ask myself why not just get the SubLN date and just be done with it already!
