Congrats on the GMT. Just one question, there isn't such a thing as a SS blue sub. Just curious if this was a typo or you actually got a chance to try on the white gold sub with the blue ceramic bezel.

Congratulations!!!

that's the best feeling, opening that box and having that watch sized.

I saw one recently at the new Rolex store in South Coast Plaza. It was pretty nice!

Wear it in health!
