Subs are the Bomb!!!!! I have a GMT II-C but would trade it in one Normal Sinus rhythm, QRS complex (that one heart beat), for a Red Sub.

I don't have a grail Rolex that I think about or lust over, but if I didn't have a Submariner, that would be it. Probably because I've worn one for over 33 years, nothing else feels the same to me. It's understated, accurate and tough as the childhood heroes I had who wore it.

That sounds like a good analogy to me

But I have to say that the best looking Sub, IMO, is the ND Sub (Of course I am biased!!) But I simply love the simple dial, and uncluttered look. It is my first Rolex, and I know there will be more, but I will always keep the Sub. It simply says Rolex

I'm pretty sure that when Karis reads my genuine compliment in the morning, she'll appreciate it as much as I have meant it!!

I had been looking at the date subs for years. When I finally decided life was too short and got my first Rolex it was the TT GMT-Master IIc because it matched my gold wedding ring and I loved the way it looked.

I still had a passion for the SS Date Sub and bought one with my income tax return this year.

Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?

Can I get a discount on a Daytony if my name is Tony? I'd love to see my name on the dial of a Rolex!!!!
