That’s what the Rolex experience should always be
Walk in ...Try on ...and buy the watch you want ...
All the rest like lines and lists and not a chance is all bull

That is a very underrated watch and I agree with you OP, the nicest looking sub.

Congrats!

I must admit 2-tone has its allure. We’ve been chasing SS for so long but when a friend of mine got a 2-tone YM my SS AP RO looked kind of bland as I compared them optically.

It’s nice to read that this particular model is so well accepted by the most amongst us and yet has escaped the tag of being “hot” so it’s easier to find without having to wait for months or paying a hefty premium

That's a really nice watch, but.. you had one, and you sold it to buy it again new?

To be honest I was kinda worried that this specific Sub might be phased out during the next Baselworld, don’t know why but just had this hunch for some reason.. anyway I love this model with the 3135 movement (tested workhorse, cheaper and easier to service at the moment compared to the new 3235), don’t keep it long on your list, it’s gorgeous really

I thought that there is no way I can get it by just walking in and buying but seems all stars were aligned so here it is! Nothing beats the original experience, which is walk in and buy what you want!!
