15 years after
First time I met her was 15 years ago, she was such a beauty but with a price I cannot afford by that time.... she was HKD 8k more than the 16570, finally I brought the 16570 home as my first Rolex,
After 15 years I found one perfect pre-owned with card box and all bits, but she costed me nearly a 3 times more than the value a 16570 of today... I’m happy I still have the passion to chase after the piece I loved, and I’m happy to have her as an addition to my collection, |

Love it. 15 years ago, I tried to talk a friend out of this odd green Sub, as I was convinced a regular black would be more versatile... luckily he ignored my advice and got the Kermit.

Beautiful watch and story. I really love this watch as well, sad the prices are so high, not so much because people love this watch more than in the past, but because everyone is an investor nowadays versus threads like this where we have someone who genuinely loves the watch.
Congrats. |

Great watch story indeed, I just wished I was aware of this model 15 years ago myself instead of only liking & owning a DJ back then.
